Dago Salazar was the perfect sales person from the moment I met him. He was polite, knowledgeable, non-pressuring, answered all my questions quickly and simply, and gave me the best possible price on the pu I met him. He was polite, knowledgeable, non-pressuring, answered all my questions quickly and simply, and gave me the best possible price on the purchase of a new 2012 VW GTI. The key in salesmanship, I believe, is how the customer is treated after signing on the dotted line. Dago invited me to come in as soon as possible to better familiarize myself with the working of the car and suggested I call him, on his cell, at any time I had questions or wanted to make an appointment to come in and see him. As a matter of fact this dealership, with Don Thomas, as manager of the service department, provide the help that most people only wish for. Rosemary Brown More
The process was quick and easy. I decided to go with City VW because they were friendly, let me take my time, and allowed me to have my space when I needed it. I could have gotten my Golf TDI from another VW VW because they were friendly, let me take my time, and allowed me to have my space when I needed it. I could have gotten my Golf TDI from another VW dealer for a bit cheaper, but the awesome people at City VW were no pressure, fast when I needed them to be fast, and answered all of my questions. I am very satisfied with the overall experience I had at City VW and would recommend them to others. The VW side does seem a little small, but they have another service area and Chevy building across the street. I haven't had servicing on my new car yet so I can't rate on the service dept. so this is just for sales. More
I recently moved from Washington, D.C. to San Diego and was in the market for a new car. A friend at a Virginia VW informed me that City VW was a quality dealer, and that statement could not be more accura was in the market for a new car. A friend at a Virginia VW informed me that City VW was a quality dealer, and that statement could not be more accurate. I called about a week before I was bound to fly out, and already knew that I wanted the 2012 TDI. I knew a fair price on it and had an idea how I wanted to go forward. Dago answered the phone and was quickly able to address my bevy of requests. He followed up over the next couple days, and we were able to highlight which actual car on the lot I wanted via him guiding me to the page over the Internet. By the time I came out, Dago and I had already spoken numerous times and established a rapport, and the rest of the buying process went seamlessly. Most impressively, Dago continuously followed up with me via text message and made sure I was happy with my purchase. The friend I took along with me was so impressed with City VW's collection and Dago's service, he went and bought his own, used car the very next day. That says something. I suffered a flat tire about a month after purchase (my fault, not the car's) and took it in to get checked out. Since the tire had a gash, the warranty didn't cover it and it would cost me $200 at City VW to replace the whole tire. Jack and Cherylann were awesome, suggesting I shop around and try other options as well. I tried Costco, but they didn't have my particular tire. I returned to City VW, ready to pony up the two benjamins, when Cherylann hopped on the phone and started calling around for me. Turns out, she had a contact as discount tire who informed me he could get me the new tire for $17. Needless to say, that's where I went. Cherylann is seriously one of the Top 10 nicest people I've ever come across. She cares about her customers and clearly loves her job - kudos to her and to City VW for cultivating such a work environment. From the pre-sale down the line, City VW was just a fabulous experience. Thank you for making my cross-country move one step easier! More
Armando was friendly and very knowledgable about his vehicles. I purchased a 2012 Jetta SE with Convenience and it was definitely in my price range. Before I left, Armando even helped me by programmin vehicles. I purchased a 2012 Jetta SE with Convenience and it was definitely in my price range. Before I left, Armando even helped me by programming my phone with the new bluetooth in my car. He showed that he really cared. Plus this is my 3rd Jetta from the same dealership. They really know how to make their customers smile. More

Armando was very professional and let me know that he was in no rush. I would have as much of his time as required. When following up with me, he didn't flood me with calls. He left a VM and waited a few day in no rush. I would have as much of his time as required. When following up with me, he didn't flood me with calls. He left a VM and waited a few days for me to call before calling again. That's really why I ended up wanting to work with him. Obviously, any car salesman wants the sale but Armand made me feel like there wasn't much pressure. That kind of approach really pays off! More
I would definitely recommend this dealership, and Dago Salazar. I hate to go car shopping, and the hassle and haggle that often comes with it, but my experience at City VW was great. VW was my second choi Salazar. I hate to go car shopping, and the hassle and haggle that often comes with it, but my experience at City VW was great. VW was my second choice, because I was looking for a Hyundai, and trying to find one with a manual transmission. I stopped by to test drive the GTI. Dago was very cordial and friendly, and made the test drive a breeze. When I told him I needed to think about the car, because that was my second choice car, he did not pressure me and simply told me to call him when I was ready. I went back to the dealershiop in a couple of days to show the car to my husband and son, and Dago suggested we test drive it again. He was very patient with my son and his requests, and again, while he showed me all the great features for the car, there was no pressure. The 0% financing, was what really sealed the deal, since the GTI was a more expensive car than the Hyundai. I went back the next day to fill out the paperwork. The color I wanted was not available in San Diego, but Dago offered to look for one and have it driven down for me. I did my research on Consumer Report (and excellent source of advice) as far as prices are concerned, and Dago brought the numbers I had to the manager, who matched them: more than $600 less than the MSRP. Again, no pressure on adding extra stuff, and no hidden fees. The car arrived earlier than expected, and the next day, Dago drove it up to my house since I did not have a ride to come and get it. He went over all features and even synched my phone to the car via bluetooth. He encouraged me to call him or email him with questions. The car was as expected, and it even had a couple of extra accessories that I did not expect. Overall a very positive experience. More
I was interested in a car that was not yet ready to be shown, yet they kept me constantly informed on its status and were very helpful in getting it detailed up to the quality I wanted in a new car, they shown, yet they kept me constantly informed on its status and were very helpful in getting it detailed up to the quality I wanted in a new car, they even went above and beyond on some of the repairs. The salesmen were helpful and not pushy like most other dealers and after experiencing multiple other dealers around San Diego, I was very happy I went with city to purchase my car. More
