Both the service representative and the service man were very professional, and explained everything that was going on. About as transparent as you could hope for from a dealer. More

Kara was great, very friendly and helpful. She softened the blow and was very sympathetic about several unexpected and expensive maintenance issues with the car. More

It was horrible. The customer service was awful and the people on the phones acted like they would rather be doing ANYTHING else. I couldn’t get a straight answer about my car for a week. More

Worked out great. Called for oil change appointment, JC said he had a cancellation which created an opening in the next hour. I came over at the time he mentioned and he greeted me as I got out of the car. More

The price for an oil change is expensive. I can get this simple service done at other places for a lot less. Staff was friendly. More

Thank you, Angela, for the nice comment for our Service Staff. We do understand that prices for service can be lower at other places. Most dealerships are franchises and have guidelines we have to follow. Our technicians are factory trained and certified, we use genuine VW parts, do a multi-point inspection on vehicles coming through for service. We do appreciate you bringing your vehicle in for service. If you have any questions about your service, please don't hesitate to call us. We'll be glad to help out.
