Santiago , is the best employee I had ever come across at
Santiago , is the best employee I had ever come across at Al Hendrickson. He answer all my questions I had regarding the problems I have been having at Al Hendrickson when it come to service my car and he gave me a solution. For the longest my middle arm console had been peeling and every time I went to Al Hendrickson the other workers always give me the run around and it never got fixed. But between today and yesterday Santiago was able to fix the issue for me and get my cover fix . He is amazing and the best employee Al Hendrickson could have . He deserve a raise.

We purchased a 2022 Chevrolet Malibu in February 2025.
We purchased a 2022 Chevrolet Malibu in February 2025. Our sales rep was Izzo Ramos. He took great care of us right from the start! He asked what we were looking for and showed us some cars that fit our preferences. He listened to what we were looking for and we felt comfortable with him. Izzo made car shopping a nice experience at Empire Hyundai in Swansea Mass! We thank Izzo and Empire Hyundai, for our wonderful car!

Excellent experience with Pacific VW, from the first meet
Excellent experience with Pacific VW, from the first meet and greet with a friendly handshake to the test-drive of several cars, price negotiation, financial transaction, and to final key handover. I particularly appreciate the help of Chris Estrada, George, and Byron for the smooth and easy sales process. I would highly recommend Pacific VW for their professionalism and attention to their clients.

I had a really good experience here.
I had a really good experience here. The guys were straightforward and not pushy at all, which I really appreciated. They worked with me on the price and explained everything clearly, so I knew exactly what I was paying for. The car was clean and ready the same day, and the whole process was much easier than I expected. Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a decent car and honest people
