Best Experience Ever! My experience with car dealership spans over 30 years and I always wonder why salespeople don't understand how much they could do to make a car buyer My experience with car dealership spans over 30 years and I always wonder why salespeople don't understand how much they could do to make a car buyer happy. Without a doub this new Island Volkswagen dealership and my saleswoman Ingrid Roosma made it so much fun I had to let everyone know. From walking in and meeting such a Volkswagen "enthusiast" is very unusual. She was quick to recognize my guarded demeanor and made me laugh when she said this is not a visit to the Dentist's office . I really hadn't planned to lease a Jetta GLI but a test drive with her was the best part and I couldn't be happier. I thought my lease numbers would be high but it was perfect for my budget..There wasn't any back and forth running to the different managers that always seems to happen. It was so easy . Once I put my deposit down she gave me money to go next door to a beautiful bakery and have a cafe latte while they prepped my car to drive home.. I love my GLI and would tell anyone looking to get a new Volkswagen to go see Ingrid. I made a new friend in a new friend on Staten island. More

Not Trustworthy and Not convenient The Finance guy was a True Weasel & yes man. Told you what you wanted to hear then completely disregarded what was agreed. I was buying a used Jett The Finance guy was a True Weasel & yes man. Told you what you wanted to hear then completely disregarded what was agreed. I was buying a used Jetta and it had a vracked windshield. I simply said I do not want this repaired I want it replaced. If that can't happen I do not want the car. I was told don't worry. Well that replacement never happened. Liars! Now my Passat is in for service and they can't get a sensor to replace the faulty 1. Very inconvenient to take a car in 2x and loose a 1/2 days pay for a part that should be in stock! To top it off the tire and Rim Insurance we have they have no desire to honor! More
Professional, Prompt & Pristine - A True Flagship Location The 2 gentlemen with whom I spoke in connection with purchasing my GTI SE today were excellent in all respects; they had structured the purchase for m The 2 gentlemen with whom I spoke in connection with purchasing my GTI SE today were excellent in all respects; they had structured the purchase for me 1 week in advance, and helped me get all my paperwork done and insurance squared away IN ADVANCE, which made my stay at the showroom (which is pristine and impressive!) surprisingly short, effortless, easy and at no point in time did I feel as though I was being pressured or influenced or "swayed" in any one direction, for any add-ons, accessories or the like. Above all, a decidedly fair and reasonable in all respects location, managed and staffed by down to earth personable and approachable staff, all knowledgeable and all very cool. Best auto-purchase/dealer experience of my life, period. More

Satisfied Customer. This was my first time getting a car from a dealership. After shopping around for a few weeks, I have to say that my most pleasant experience was at This was my first time getting a car from a dealership. After shopping around for a few weeks, I have to say that my most pleasant experience was at Volkswagon. The salesman Al was by far the friendliest, most informed of any of the people I had to deal with while shopping around. Any question I had about the car, he knew off the top of his head, plus more. He was a little difficult to negotiate with, but that is just him doing his job. At the end of the day, I got the car I wanted, for about the price I wanted, and absolutely would recommend this dealership to anyone who asks. More
3 cars in 2 years/ check engine light sunday I have purchased 3 cars from Open Road Staten Island in the last 2 years. The sales department is awesome! They do their best to give you the best dea I have purchased 3 cars from Open Road Staten Island in the last 2 years. The sales department is awesome! They do their best to give you the best deal possible. I have been to the service department a few times. My engine light came on Sunday night. On Monday, I went to service without an appointment. They found the problem, (my gas cap was not sealed properly) ordered the part and took care of it. Steve the service writer could not have been nicer or more professional. He explained everything to me and checked in with me frequently to let me know what was going on. More
Very Satisfied with the Service this and everytime I recently had a problem with dashboard lights and stopped by Open Road V.W. of Staten Island. I was immediately given prompt attention from Lydia who I recently had a problem with dashboard lights and stopped by Open Road V.W. of Staten Island. I was immediately given prompt attention from Lydia who was courteous and made me feel like an appreciated customer. She reminded me I was due an oil change and she also saw that my car was due for inspection. She told me when the car would be ready and indeed was spot on as it was ready when I came back from a walk.I,ve dealt with V.W. service before and with Lydia and have always had a good experience. Lydia is top notch ,Service is excellent and both certainly have made an influence on my decision to lease another Passat when the present lease expires. More
Sales and Service I purchased 2 new vehicles within the last 6 months and can't say enough about the staff. The Sales department went out of their way taking the extra I purchased 2 new vehicles within the last 6 months and can't say enough about the staff. The Sales department went out of their way taking the extra step to assisting us. We had both our cars within 3 days. The service department is extremely helpful and assisted me in helping understand my new cars. I took me cars in for the 3 month checkup and the staff couldn't be more courteous. All employees at Open Road Volkswagen of Staten Island treat you like a member of their family. I recommended this dealership to my neighbors. They purchased their first Volkswagen last week and have the same feelings towards the dealership. Regards, Chris Madden More
