Avoid Heritage Volkswagen at All Costs! If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Heritage Volkswagen in Catonsville has been an absolute nightmare from start to finish. 1 If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Heritage Volkswagen in Catonsville has been an absolute nightmare from start to finish. 1) Battery Issue: A Week for Nothing After purchasing a car from CarMax (still under warranty), it developed a battery error. CarMax recommended we take it to Volkswagen, so we chose Heritage due to proximity. Big mistake! They kept the car for an entire week before even looking at it, only to tell us they replaced the battery. A week for something so basic? Ridiculous! 2) Remote Start Installation: A Comedy of Errors Thinking the battery ordeal was a fluke, we decided to have a remote start installed. They required a deposit upfront, which seemed odd but understandable. Once the parts arrived, we dropped off the car. Days went by without any updates. After a week of silence, we called to check in, only to hear, "Oh, we ordered the wrong parts." This happened not once but twice. Two separate times, they kept our car for days without realizing the parts were incorrect. Each time, we were left waiting for weeks with no resolution. 3) Finally Done... Or So We Thought Six months later, they finally got it together—or so we thought. We dropped off the car and were promised it would be done that day. Later, we got a call saying it was ready, but there was a "battery error" again. We reminded them this issue had already been resolved by them nine months earlier. Their response? “Oh, okay. We charged the battery; it’s fine now.” 4) The Grand Finale: Remote Start Fiasco When we picked up the car, we were told it came with just one remote. Fine—maybe that was on us for not clarifying. But then the service agent went to demonstrate the remote start, and... it didn’t work. After multiple failed attempts, they called the mechanic supervisor, who couldn’t get it to work either. His response? “It’s not our fault; it might be the battery.” Seriously?! The same battery they supposedly replaced and "checked" multiple times? 5) Unprofessional, Incompetent, and a Waste of Time This dealership is a shining example of disorganization, lack of accountability, and unprofessionalism. They’ll happily take your money upfront but fail to deliver even basic service. If you value your time, money, or sanity, avoid Heritage Volkswagen at all costs. They have some of the worst reviews I have seen!!! More

If I could give 0 stars I would, but 1 is the lowest. DO NOT give this dealership your business. I took my brand new car, bought from this dealership, to them for its first service/oil change/tire rota DO NOT give this dealership your business. I took my brand new car, bought from this dealership, to them for its first service/oil change/tire rotation. Their technician crashed my car into a pole and admitted fault. The dealership tried to "internal" the damage so that it would not show up on a carfax and only went through their insurance after I told them that made me feel uncomfortable. They will be repairing it but keep telling me that there will not be any depreciation (when literally every car website says that there will be depreciation for an accident). When I told them that there will be depreciation and that I want an undamaged car, they offered to buy back my damaged car and sell me a new car, but at a $10,000 cost to me. I should not be upside down on a brand new car loan for damage that the dealership caused! They do not care about their customers. DO NOT waste your money or time here and go to a dealership that actually cares about their customers. More
