I bought a 2010 gti from the dealership. The day I bought it it wasn’t ready because it needed repairs. This should have been a red flag, but I wanted to trust that it would be the only issue. Less than a week into owning the car the locking cylinder for the vehicle broke and they had to tow it to Volkswagen. I was going to trade back my car and call it a wash, but I wanted to believe that they finally fixed the vehicle. Come to find out the Volkswagen dealership claimed the towing company damaged the radiator ( This is coming from the other gentleman I dealt with) they checked it and they claim there was nothing wrong. Volkswagen also pointed out that there was a leak coming from the cooliant reservoir. After the week of headaches and trouble this car was causing, I decided to trade the vehicle back. I tried to be calm as I could throughout the deal. Most of the staff was trying to help. Kenny however got me on the phone with their banker and both were insulting me saying “ I’m going down a dark path” by listening to my mother and others (who were trying to warn me about this deal) and I’m not going to have any ambition in life if I keep going the way I’m going. It was inappropriate and uncalled for. I would buy a skateboard from these people or ever get a loan through their bank North West. Both were nasty, rude, and unprofessional.

Heather, we are sorry to hear that you are not happy with things. However, we all know that what you described here is not true or accurate in any manner. You purchased a car that we had just gotten in and it was going through service and detail the day you came in on it. You were told on the phone when you first inquired about it that this was the case and that all of our vehicles go through service when they get here and we take care of anything they need. The car was finished that afternoon as promised and you took delivery of the car. A couple of days later you called and told us that the key would not turn in the ignition. No problem, you just bought the car and we are going to make it right so Kenny called a locksmith and met him there within an hour at our cost. The locksmith determined that the lock had been damaged and only Volkswagen could repair it. No problem, we called and had it towed to Volkswagen, at our cost and gave you a loaner car. Volkswagen came to the same conclusion on the damage and we had it fixed the next day, again, at our cost. Here's where your story gets way out of whack with what actually happened. While the car was at Volkswagen, doing what franchise dealers do, they told us that there was damage to the radiator and so forth. Well, we know it wasn't there when you took delivery of the car and Kenny noted how well you had parked the car at work, not getting up on the curb like many people do with low cars so I called tow truck driver and basically blamed him for it before we had seen the car back from Volkswagen yet. Shortly after, I went to Volkswagen and picked the car up and brought it back to our shop. We then proceeded to put it on a lift and thoroughly check everything, including doing a pressure test on the cooling system to be sure. No signs of damage were found. Our technician did however notice a very tiny spot in the seem on the coolant reservoir that had a bubble coming through during the pressure test. So...... once again at our cost we made a repair to your car. You never spoke to Volkswagen, the locksmith or our technicians during any of this. The information about the car you laid out in this review was a twisted version of the information I relaid to you. Kenny and I were very honest and upfront with you during the entire process. That brings us to the next day when you called and said you lost confidence in the car and wanted to return it. To which Kenny replied... No problem, we want you to be happy and will do whatever we can to make that happen. Unfortunately, when you have made a deal with a bank that is a completely separate entity from the dealership, there is only so much the dealer can do. We were willing to do whatever the bank would allow and made a call with you to work something out. The bank, like any bank is not going to be able to just go back and cancel a deal that has been completed. An agreement was made that we could switch cars out and it would not cost you anything out of pocket, what you don't know is that it was going to cost us. Once again we were going above and beyond to make this right for you. When all is said and done, you know as well as we do that there will never be another dealer that goes the extra mile the way we did for you here. As to the comments you referred to about going down a dark path. Kenny was truly and genuinely trying to help you with advice. You called us and then again in person apologized for your mother's behavior during this entire deal. Your mother, according to you and based on the multiple phone calls from her, said we were just trying to take advantage of women from day one. She called us several times making inflammatory accusations which could not be further from the truth. Even with the ultra rude and childish behavior from her, we to this day, have spoken and treated your mother with the utmost respect. Your GTI is a very nice car and we do hope you enjoy it for years to come. Respectfully, West Lake
Very helpful even though I didn’t buy
Called and talked to a salesman over a Genesis. He was very responsive in his questions which was mostly via text. He even gave me a quote over the phone for a trade value in on my car. Thank you so much for helping out in my search for a car.

THANK YOU Jay!!! We are very fortunate to have the best customers like yourself who make it great to come to work every day!
Horrible service
I found Kenny Hendriks to be rude. When issues arose concerning the sale he was uncooperative and dismissive of my concerns. I would NEVER consider or recommend this dealership to anyone.

Unhappy Customer, we are sorry and disappointed to hear you were not pleased with your experience here. We don't make excuses and sometimes we do make mistakes. We do however work day in and day out to make every individual feel welcome and appreciated. If you are in the market another time please give us a call or stop by and we will gladly make things right going forward.
Excellent Products and Customer Service
We are extremely pleased with EVERYTHING about our sales experience with West Lake Imports. Kenny Hendrick, the Dealer Principal, was most accommodating, meeting all of our requests in a most professional and timely manner. We had been looking for a BMW 5 series at a number of Auto Dealerships over a 2 week period and West Lake Imports was head and shoulders above all of them in product and customer service. I highly recommend working with Kenny Hendrick and West Lake Imports.
