They treat customers better if they are attached to a recall, because yeah, but if you just happened to buy a VW, you’re a second-class citizen. Be aware if you deal with a guy named Noah, who comes acr recall, because yeah, but if you just happened to buy a VW, you’re a second-class citizen. Be aware if you deal with a guy named Noah, who comes across as an empathetic customer service guy who calls you bro but who is utterly ineffective to advocate for you. More
Overall service was good. Hope mentioned she would come back to grab me when service was complete. I received a text that it was complete. I replied to the text because no-one Hope mentioned she would come back to grab me when service was complete. I received a text that it was complete. I replied to the text because no-one ever returned to address me in waiting room. Finally, I went in search of Hope who replied that she had gotten busy. How long would I have sat there if I waited as instructed? I do not know. I was there for over three hours for an oil change, tire rotation and alignment. Not sure if that is a respectable amount of time or not but it was a long morning in waiting room. They do offer rides if you choose not to stay. Next time I will select that option. They also offer free snacks and drinks in the waiting room, which was a nice feature. More

I used to entrust Tom Wood VW for all my maintenance service for my vechicle but their customer service has changed for the worst. I scheduled an appointment for a diagnostic on a check engine light jus service for my vechicle but their customer service has changed for the worst. I scheduled an appointment for a diagnostic on a check engine light just to be told when I got there, “we’re going to need your car for at least two days for a diagnostic”. I contacted the dealership asking if there was a way to get me a loaner vehicle or rental so I could get the LEASED vehicle serviced. The girl was clueless and said that didn’t exist any longer which is a let down as a customer because supporting services like such is why I’ve remained with Tom Wood. Okay, I was still patient and despite the stress of driving with a check engine light on, I brought my vechicle back weeks later for service. I asked the service associate, Hope, if there’s any circumstance where I would pay for the repair or it wouldn’t be covered under my warranty which she replies, “only if we find out work was done by another tech or the car has been in a collision”. Over the next two days, I attempted to call the number given to me via text to receive no answer. I had to text the same number to get updates on my car. I finally receive a virtual invoice for my service where it expresses cost for a service needed but I’m confused about whether will be an expense I pay for or not because the service desk has a habit of printing invoices with totals on it even if you don’t actually owe the money. So I attempt to call for clarity but I get no answer. I need my vehicle back so I green light the service. Once I go to pick up my car, shocker..there is a charge that is not covered by my warranty. I explain to the associate how non-compassionate the service department appears when there’s no consistency in communication to which the associate decides this is the perfect time to essentially say “we’re working on it” and that “a lot of our customers are dealing with the exact same thing”. Showing empathy toward a customer doesn’t include constantly comparing them to the troubles of others, that isn’t helpful! After going back and forth for 15 minutes about how I would have really appreciated communication about the cost when I asked BEFOREHAND what circumstances will cause me to pay out of pocket and how I attempted to reach out with no response—she offers a way to discount the price. Why must a customer show distress before you are willing to help when you’ve dropped the ball as a business? The entire time she helped me she was using microaggitative wording like “if you just wait a minute” and huffing and puffing. I felt confused as a the customer who had been majorly inconvenienced, what she was so upset about. To add, she ends up mentioning how they’re “down to 10 loaner vehicles” which I question because I was just told they have no loaner program. This experience (combined with my last two services) was disappointing enough to keep me from doing business with Tom Wood again. I go to this location for service as my vehicle is leased and I like to honor the certified service expectation but when you pull on by lot, your anxiety builds. Something overwhelmingly unnecessary is bound to happen. More
Usually I have great service at Tom Woods VW. I took my 2006 VW Beetle in for some service, oil change and determine why air bag sensor was on the dashboard. They determined it was the seat bel I took my 2006 VW Beetle in for some service, oil change and determine why air bag sensor was on the dashboard. They determined it was the seat belt buckle which they could not obtain the part to replace. After four days I called several times with no return call. Now I was calling several times a day with no update, the car was at the service department with no updates. I am sure I harassed enough but no response. I finally made a trip to the service in which all involved parties were gone. So on day ten I received my car. I took it to another place to have the windows retinted. They called soon after I dropped it off to say their was a serious oil leak. So I insisted they tow my car back to shop and found out yhe oil filter was not tightened. They made it sound like I should be grateful they paid the tow for something they did wrong. I am done with them and won't be back. More

Brought car and keys to be reprogrammed after I was informed it would only take an hour. Two hours and 30 minutes later they were done on a job that should only take 30 mins. Arrived at 8:15am and chec informed it would only take an hour. Two hours and 30 minutes later they were done on a job that should only take 30 mins. Arrived at 8:15am and checked out at 10:59am. Their answer was the computers are running slow and the. Told by a different service advisor the first software download didn’t work! What ever time they suggest would advise you to allow much more time; otherwise you might find yourself canceling other appointments without much notice. More
