We are sorry your first and only experience with us did not go as expected. The additional repairs had initially been declined so when you had called back to approve them the schedule had been filled and due to the holiday weekend we were not sure we would be able to get back to your vehicle Tuesday or if it would be Wednesday. The repairs ended up getting done ahead of schedule Tuesday evening at the end of the shift and so we did not have a chance to get the paperwork completed and notify you the vehicle was done. When you came the next morning to pick up the vehicle the advisor heard a noise that we felt needed to be addressed before you left with the vehicle and we do apologize for any inconvenience this caused, we just did not feel comfortable letting you take the car with a potential issue. We understand your frustration with the situation, and are sorry for the communication problems that may have occurred during your experience with us. We strive for continuous improvement every day since 1966, unfortunately we were unable to accommodate you to your expectations. Tom Anderson Schmelz Countryside Volkswagen (651) 484-8441

After-sale service was very disheartening I purchased a 2016 VW Touareg TDI in early October. Price was decent and the dealer folks seemed personable. I traded an Audi Q5, and since I was from More
