Castle Volkswagen Downers Grove - Service Center

BOY OH BOY Where do I start? Three years ago my brother bought a certified 2016 Volkswagon Tiguan from this family owned business that prides itself on its customer service and t Three years ago my brother bought a certified 2016 Volkswagon Tiguan from this family owned business that prides itself on its customer service and the quality and reputation of their cars. He brought the car to their service department every 10k miles for service and maintenance and was very pleased with his experience and the quality of his Volkswagon. He felt so confident in this car that he sold it to his nephew, my son. How exciting to have such a nice quality car at the age of 16! My brother took it in for one last service and maintenance check at 85k miles and handed the keys to a very excited young man. The car was driven for exactly THREE days after a full service and maintenance check by PUGI DOWNERS GROVE and had CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE due to blown fuel injector and leaking oil seals none of which were identified at the maintenance check. Additionally no warning lights went on until engine was in full failure. If these issues were properly identified by PUGI DOWNERS GROVE this entire situation could have been avoided. Instead my son's car now will cost more than he paid for it to repair and it sits in the PUGI DOWNERS GROVE lot for over three weeks with nobody wanting to take any responsibility for what happened. General manager pushes it to owner who pushes it to corporate who says sorry but we can't help you. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBiLITY FOR THE DAMAGE THAT OCCURRED TO THIS CAR. We have done everything right by servicing it and taking care of it and they MISSED the signs in a simple maintenance check that could have prevented this. This is not only financially damaging to a young man with his first car this is emotionally damaging to everyone involved. More

Elder Harassment at Pugi VW Approached service manager with question. Didn't finish speaking before he said "YOU STILL DRIVING!" Several other members of Pugi staff standing ar Approached service manager with question. Didn't finish speaking before he said "YOU STILL DRIVING!" Several other members of Pugi staff standing around him burst out in laughter. Service manager continued with harassment when I tried to proceed with question; laughter from staff again. Reported incident to owner via voicemail; he didn't call me back. I need to know what action was taken against disrespectful service manager and staff. BTW, I'm physically fit and mentally alert.

Disappointing service experience I bought 1 car from Pugi and had been a loyal service customer there with all 3 of my VWs for over 10 years. The service folks had always treated me w I bought 1 car from Pugi and had been a loyal service customer there with all 3 of my VWs for over 10 years. The service folks had always treated me well... very respectful of my time and money... until recently. I took my VW in to have an oil leak they detected during my last oil change. A month later, my engine light comes on and I take it in to Pugi for analysis. I'm told that there is almost no oil left in the engine and the timing is completely shot... $2700 estimated bill!!!. "Shouldn't this have been detected when you fixed the oil leak, I asked". "No, it leaked from a different location and that's not our responsibility" I was told. "ok, can you at least work with me on the price?" $150 off is the best we can do (and I even talked to the GM). Then I find a coupon for $200 for anyone that has service done there. Successful companies need to understand the value of loyal customers and treat those customers fairly. I have always been an advocate for Pugi but no longer. Not sure about the new sales side, but in my mind Pugi is one brand all run the same way... be very cautious. This company that once treated customers right now seems to run on the "make the biggest short term profit" mentality. So sad More

horrible service I've had a few encounters with the service department that were horrible. Beyond the fact that my car received new scratches from a previous visit, my I've had a few encounters with the service department that were horrible. Beyond the fact that my car received new scratches from a previous visit, my most current visit drew the line for me. I called the dealer to get a problem resolved and upon coming in they said "We don't have you in for an appointment." They also asked " have you ever been here before?" It's shocking since I bought the car from Pugi that they would only reschedule me for a later date and question me like they did my other visit. I was blown off twice by service and still don't have my problem resolved. I recommend going to a different dealer such as VW of countryside who I have had pleasant experiences with. More

My first time experance with the service Department I purchase a 2015 golf 1.8tsi from D (Devon) was fast and quick. Car came with one key and D was able to have one order and split the cost price with I purchase a 2015 golf 1.8tsi from D (Devon) was fast and quick. Car came with one key and D was able to have one order and split the cost price with me. The service Dept call me the next day and had the key to have me come in for program. Arrive as schedule service guy was quick, I also mention to them that there was a tire that is low please check all of them. They took the car and half an hour later service guy cam and said that I had a nail in the tire and needed to replace. I have mention to him that when I had test drive the car with the salesman D that the tire looks very low on air. long story short the service guy talk to the sales manager and was able to take car of the tire. Bottom line over all in and out 70 mins and all the service was on the house. I can't say that I am completely satisfy 100% with this dealership from purchase to having the car delivered and the service department. Hands down Thank you very much Pugi Volks Team!!! More

Terrible Service, I've brought my VWs to Pugi a handful of times because the dealership is near my office. However I will be scheduling service at the next closest VW I've brought my VWs to Pugi a handful of times because the dealership is near my office. However I will be scheduling service at the next closest VW dealership or nearby Audi dealership instead from now. Service here was incomplete on more than one occasion, My vehicles were returned with warning lights on that were not on when I dropped the car off or with the same issue unresolved. Also the vehicles are returned dirty and smelling of body odor post service. Service Manager Jeremy is hostile and argumentive from the get go, other members of the staff at this dealership have abysmal demeanors as well. With so many other Chicagoland VW dealerships offering top notch service- avoid this place like a bad smell unless you want your car to have one! . More
