New and used 2025 Volkswagen Atlas 2.0T SEL Premium R-Line 4MOTION for sale near Plainfield, NJ

When was the last time you were left speechless in a GOOD WAY at car dealership? I have never experienced such professionalism, care, and genuine concern as I did on Thursday June 14th 2018 at Hamilton Volkswagen. My Sales Executive Rick Valnoski is without a question just a phenomenal individual in every single way. What a way to buy a new car!!! ZERO pressure, incredibly knowledgeable, and I felt like I was treated like Rick’s family from the first time I met him months ago when I first began exploring purchasing a new Volkswagen. Kevin Zanoni who assisted in getting my financing squared away, and got me in, and out in a blink of an eye with my flawlessly clean car was amazing. I also was taken care of by of all people the Service Manager Mr. Mike Kayes who made me feel so confident in my purchase from a service side just further cemented in my mind that not only did I buy a great car, but I bought a great car from the best Dealership I have ever dealt with in ver 30+ years of buying many vehicles. My hat is truly off to these fine gentlemen for all they did to help me, and I will never own another car other than a Volkswagen after my experience at Hamilton Volkswagen.

The short and sweet of the following long review: * My car was towed to one VW dealership (NOT Gensinger) that insisted the repairs wouldn’t be covered under warranty and that it would be at least $5200. * I had my car towed to Gensinger for a second opinion. I was told that it would be $1500 and that they were going to put up a fight for it to be covered under warranty. * After Gensinger made numerous calls to VW corporate and collected documentation to support the claim, they were able to get it covered under warranty, and I didn’t pay a penny. Dealership service centers get a bad rep—people think of them as sleazy places where your service “advisor” is out to get you by charging you for things you don’t actually need just so they can make money. Let me start by saying Gensinger Motors is the EXACT opposite of that. While it was never my intention to test this out, the story I’m about to share is a true testament to just how much Gensinger cares about their customers. My 2018 Tiguan recently experienced an unfortunate situation: while driving, I suddenly heard a loud noise and ultimately the vehicle stopped moving. Luckily I was able to pull over. Long story short, the ball joint on the front right wheel assembly had dislocated causing the axle to dislodge (read: the wheel was free to move on its own, separate from the rest of the wheels—bad news). The car was not driveable, so it had to be towed. First, AAA towed it from the side of the road to a local shop where the problem was diagnosed. From there, VW Roadside Assistance towed it to the nearest VW dealership (while I won’t name the dealership, to be clear, it was NOT Gensinger). Once there, after sitting for 3 days, they finally had the chance to look at the car. In those three days, I did some research and found out that there was a recall on some 2018 Tiguans in which the nut that secured the ball joint may not have been tightened correctly and could result in the ballpoint dislocating (sounds familiar). While my specific vehicle wasn’t included in the recall, it affected other vehicles made in the same period in which my vehicle was produced. Despite this, the first dealership told me it would be at least $5200 to fix and would not be covered under warranty as it was the result of an “external event” (kissing a curb 6 months ago). Unwilling to accept that brushing against a curb could cause such significant damage, I called VW corporate and spent over a week arguing with them about this. In their defense, the only source of information they have about the state of the car comes from the dealership where it was, which, suffice it to say, was certainly not advocating for me. Knowing that the quote they gave me was definitely “padded,” I ultimately decided to get a second opinion. This meant having the car towed somewhere else... Having read positive reviews of Gensinger, I reached out to them. I spoke with Brian who gave me the name of a towing company they work with, but he suggested that I first try VW Roadside since that would be free. While they don’t generally tow from one dealership to another, he said it was worth a shot. Sure enough, they were willing to do it (at least $100 saved, likely more). They were able to look at the car within 24 hours of its arrival at the shop. He called and informed me that it “wasn’t actually that bad.” I hadn’t told Brian anything specific about what the previous dealer had said. He told me it would be between $1400-1500 total to fix. When I told Brian that the other dealership quoted me $5200 he was, needless to say, surprised. He then told me that he wanted to see if he could get this covered under warranty, despite me telling him that we’d tried on our own. He suggested I gather some documentation, and after many calls to VW on his end, he was able to get them to cover it. So to recap, the first place said no warranty and $5200, Gensinger said $1500 and fought for me to not pay a penny. Sure enough, in the end, I didn
