Worst experience I’ve ever had, dealership is a joke. Brought my car in for service because my gas door won’t open. I told them explicitly that I do not want my vehicle plugged into the diagnostic machin More

Darcars charged me more than $2,000 in repairs, only to hand me a broken car back. I had to go to another VW dealer who confirmed that the prior repair was botched and had to be redone. (Darcars also tried More

After being a loyal customer for 10 years, they tried to charge me 40% more than the price listed on their own website for a part I needed replaced. The part not including labor was listed at about $2300 on More

Hi Laura! As our team tried to explain, there is a difference between list prices (paid online and shipped to you) and retail prices (purchased over the counter / include a 1 year warranty when repairs are completed in our service department). We sincerely apologize if there was any miscommunication here and hope to earn your business back in the future.

Dear Robert, As you can imagine, this is disappointing to read and I'm sorry we fell short of our high expectations during your visit. Our Service Manager , Nigel, has been trying to reach you and you may reach him at 301-622.7000 or we can be reached at customerrelations@darcars.com or 1-800-327-2277. We'd like the opportunity to speak with you about your experience and work towards providing the best customer experience possible. Thank you.

Nigel, You haven't tried very hard to reach me since I have no record of a phone call attempt nor any e-mail. You have my e-mail and my phone number both of which you and your staff used to set my appointment. I consider this as an attempt to appear responsive, however, it took you 2 weeks to pay attention. My review still stands...you are cheating your customers. Robert

By the way...notice it only took me 5 minutes to respond both here and on Yelp? I pay attention to my customers and suppliers 24/7.

Horrible customer service ! I had to go to a dealership for repairs. I knew it would be more expensive, but I didn't expect such poor quality service. The repairs took a wee More
