I can't remember the folks I worked with over there, but everyone I've encountered has been amazing. I'm more than happy to take my car there.

There are (2) VW dealerships that are the same distance from my house, but I choose Metro every time. Great service, great discounts, and they are very efficient with getting me in and getting me taken care of quickly. What else do you need? I highly recommend this dealership! More
Keeps my car going and going! I drive a 1996 Jetta, and the service team at Metro VW has kept this car going for 13 years. We bought it, used, at Metro VW in '97, and it's now 2010.

I appreciate how diligent they are about checking the details and alerting me to issues to keep an eye on, ahead of time. The last time I brought it in for service, they must have gone through the electrical and they fixed the clock and other little things, without charging me. That makes me smile. More
I've purchased 2 Vw's from Metro myself and my family has purchased a total of 9 VW's from them over the last 15 years. Their service and sales department has always been friendly and easy to work with. I' purchased a total of 9 VW's from them over the last 15 years.

I've taken my car to a few other VW dealers in the DFW area for service but in my opinion they don't match up to the customer service that Metro offers. More

Peter a great service advisor at Metro Vw was the person who ans morning. Immediately as a walked in the service Dept. I was greeted into the place. Peter a great service advisor at Metro Vw was the person who answered all my problems. I was wanting to get a 40k service done but my money at the time was very tight. He understood that and told me that i can do certain things to my gti at a time and not all at once. He even said there was donuts if i wanted some as i was waiting for it to get serviced. Metro Vw knows how to treat their customers :-) More
The folks at Metro Volkswagen are terrific! This is the third car I have purchased from them and I will continue to return. The service department is most excellent as well. Baron, Peter, Lynn, and all the third car I have purchased from them and I will continue to return. The service department is most excellent as well. Baron, Peter, Lynn, and all the others are top notch. I always return there for my service, even though it is about 30 minutes from my home. I highly recommend Metro for you next VW purchase! More
MY METRO VW DEALER REVIEW Sales Experience I have MY METRO VW DEALER REVIEW Sales Experience I have owned VW’s since 1964 when I got my driver’s license. My journey began when my father purchased MY METRO VW DEALER REVIEW Sales Experience I have owned VW’s since 1964 when I got my driver’s license. My journey began when my father purchased a 1957 Karmann Ghia on February 9th 1963. I loved to clean and polish it and purchased the car in 1965. I learned to drive in that car and kept it for several years. I owned many air-cooled Volkswagens until 1996 when I decided that because of driving requirements I needed to switch to the water-cooled cars. My first purchase was a 1987 Scirocco 8 Valve from a man at my workplace. My wife liked the car so much that we purchased another one from an individual along with a 1989 Jetta GL. We discovered sometime later the Sciroccos were a little too temperamental and in early 1998 I purchased our first car from Metro VW. It was a 1988 Jetta Carat. On the way home the speedo died and Metro quickly took the car in and replaced the speedometer. That car proved to be one of the most trouble-free VW’s we ever owned. Metro didn’t do too much on the repairs at first because I always figured the hourly labor charge was too much. I later learned this was poor thinking on my part and in 2004 began using Metro VW for most maintenance. Over time, Metro has actually proven to me to be about the same price as independent shops and in many cases cheaper. In 2000 I purchased a new 2000 White Golf TDI at Metro. TDI’s were becoming popular and I drove it a year till I sold it to a friend at his insistence. In July 2001 I again returned to Metro and purchased a Red Golf GLS TDI. I really like the TDI engine VW introduced in 1998. It is efficient and delivers excellent performance and mileage. In December, 2001 I purchased another TDI. This time I got a 2002 Red Jetta GLS TDI. I am still driving both cars. My highest fuel mileage was in the Jetta on a Trip to and from Tulsa, Ok. I averaged 63.8 MPG. In each sale the sales staff has treated me with respect and never pressured me to make a decision that hour or day. They motto is to make the customer satisfied even if it means not selling a car at a given moment. In my case I was always satisfied because it was our decision. Service Experiences: Metro Volkswagen in Irving has given me excellent service on all the cars I have purchased, but especially the TDI’s I am currently driving. The Red Golf GLS TDI currently has 108,000 miles and Metro has done a superb job of maintaining it. Tim Kimber, Service Manager is very cognizant of my resources and treats me with respect and courtesy. In 2009 the Golf needed a new Alternator. I had the car towed to Metro where they installed an alternator that was defective. Instead of arguing with me about fault Tim and his Shop Forman drove to my home 45 miles away to pick up the car and take it back to Metro. They discovered the alternator was indeed defective. They replaced it, filled the fuel tank with Diesel, washed the car and returned it to my home all in the same day. Another reason I use only Metro VW is that I can wait on my car for service. While waiting in the service area I always hear customers rave about the sales and service team that wait on them. I often hear stories from customers as far as 400 miles away who insist Metro is their dealer for sales and service. When you hear positive comments like this from other satisfied customers you know you have made the right decision about where to buy and service your new vehicle. In 2006 I purchased two additional cars from Metro. A 2006 Jetta TDI that became my daughter’s car after the passing of my wife and a Gas Golf GL which replaced a 1992 Passat that I had added as a 3rd backup vehicle because we were driving a lot of miles. I have been privileged to know Brad Hagestad and his father for as long as I have been a customer. They are attune to the needs of their customers and always stand behind their work. It is indeed a privilege to work with them on any new or used car and the service department is second to none. I guess that is why I rarely see a turnover in staff. More
We stopped at Metro VW to testdrive the "basic" Jetta to see if we wanted to pay a little more for it, or get a corolla,sentra,or mazda3 for cheaper. Worked with John in internet sales and he was great. Af see if we wanted to pay a little more for it, or get a corolla,sentra,or mazda3 for cheaper. Worked with John in internet sales and he was great. After being underwelmed with the Corolla and sales staff at Toyota next door, we were pleasently surprised by the Jetta and sales staff at Metro VW. They offered us a fair price below invoice, gave us fair value on our trade and we walked out happy new Jetta owners. Sorry nissan and mazda, maybe next time. More
