Fast, professional, fun! My husband and I recently bought a 2013 Jetta TDI. The sales team was excellent in answering our questions regarding the VW Diesel Lawsuit. Nick E wen My husband and I recently bought a 2013 Jetta TDI. The sales team was excellent in answering our questions regarding the VW Diesel Lawsuit. Nick E went out of his way to help make the sale happen. On a follow up service visit, Michael H and his team took care of all of our needs. I further want to thank Melissa, the dealer manager, for speaking with us and resolving a question we had. The environment is fun, hip, lively. Not at all the typical car buying experience, but then again VW's are not the typical car. We have owned 8 and will certainly keep coming back. Thank you Toms River Volkswagen. Well Done! More

Completely Amazing There are not enough words to express how I feel about this dealership.

Let me begin with Tom the owner...this man is truly amazing and went above and beyond for me. I have actually never seen an owner of a dealership do what he did. He was able to get me approved and in a brand new car. My credit is not that good, I was upside down on the car I previously owned and didn't have a down payment and he made it happen. My next phenomenal person is Matt the salesman again can't say enough about him and everything he did for me. Next we have Melissa the GM, she personally came over sat and talked with me made sure everything was going ok. Then we have Wanda the finance manager OMG she was beyond amazing she made the paperwork fly by. Thanks for the laughs Wanda. More

Stereotypical Bad Car Dealer BUYER BEWARE Toms River Volkswagen should update its sales slogan to BUYER BEWARE. My daughter recently purchased her very first car here, a 2006 Red VW Beetle Con Toms River Volkswagen should update its sales slogan to BUYER BEWARE. My daughter recently purchased her very first car here, a 2006 Red VW Beetle Convertible with only 45,000 miles and started having automatic transmission problems the very next day! Shifting problems became progressively worse over the next few weeks until the vehicle got stuck in first gear entering a traffic circle, an extremely dangerous situation. On contacting the service manager within 2 weeks of her purchase to report the issue, I was informed there was no warranty and the vehicle would not even be covered under the State lemon law which a sales manager referred to at the time of the sale verbally to comfort me when I asked about a warranty. The service manager told me the car was sold "As Is", and Toms River VW would offer no warranty or coverage of any kind. He acknowledged that Beetles had a history of transmission problems related to transmission valve bodies, but we probably would not have noticed this on our 10-minute test drive. He assured me however that Toms River Volkswagen would never sell a vehicle with such a problem if they knew about it. Turns out the car did require a new valve body costing $2091 to keep the car on the the road, but I would not allow this dealer to do the work. On another issue, after arriving at a negotiated price, the finance person insisted my daughter pay an additional $319 for window etching (a pre-printed line item in the sales contract) listed as "optional". However, when she said she did not want the “optional” etching, he said they could not remove the charge. We had to meet the sales manager who tried to explain that the deal they negotiated included the fact that they calculated they would also be getting this additional $319. I had to explain that it’s not a negotiation if only one party knows about the charge. We should have walked out right there but my daughter was in love with her new car, we had been there 4+ hours and she agreed to a slight reduction in the price of the car, but it was not enough to offset the etching. Bottom line is if you buy a car from this dealer it would be a good idea to keep several thousand dollars in your bank account for any unexpected major repairs. Hopefully you get the idea of the type of dealer Toms River Volkswagen is. Buyer beware. More
Customer Service totally lacking - 0 Stars Kept waiting 30 minutes for a scheduled appointment with the GM. Seriously not good customer service to keep an upset customer waiting. Spent another Kept waiting 30 minutes for a scheduled appointment with the GM. Seriously not good customer service to keep an upset customer waiting. Spent another 40 minutes discussing my entire experience of purchasing a vehicle and my dissatisfaction with the treatment I've received. She promised to phone me following week, no call. I phoned 2 weeks ago, but the GM wasn't in. I let the receptionist know that I was expecting a call the previous week, and wanted Melissa to call me. No call 3 weeks later! (Customer Service 101 basics.... keep your promises to your customers; when you say you'll do something, do it!) This sub-standard customer service from the GM is just continuing the service I have received to date from the sales team and now the GM herself. Now it seems, I'll have to take more time out of my schedule to reach out to the owner and schedule an appointment with him. Too bad. This could have been resolved with an acceptable response from the GM in a return phone call she promised to make. Jacqueline D'Amore More
Buyer be weary of what your told ABSOLUTELY THE WORSE AUTO PURCHASE EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED. Actually, I ended up buying my cc from a dealership in princeton. Without gett ABSOLUTELY THE WORSE AUTO PURCHASE EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED. Actually, I ended up buying my cc from a dealership in princeton. Without getting into irrelevant details, simply put, the Toms River VW dealership changed the deal and disrespected me. This resulted in their losing a cash paying customer, any referrals and my future business. In my opinion, practices of shenanigans and arrogant demeanor most likely in the long run will be attritional on their business. So in short, be careful not to be caught off guard and remember your not required to shop local. I feel a distance of 75 miles to search for a car isn't really far when you take into account one might accumulate 15,000 mi annually. More
