Great service and felt well taken care. I wish the wait time was shorter for a patched tire, but overall was satisfied. More

This place expanded beyond its capabilities to provide quality services. They’ve sacrificed quality for quantity and cannot keep up. As a result, their services and sales department are a subpar experienc More

They had the vehicle I wanted but the experience was very sub par. They did nothing to earn my business except have the car I wanted. They refused to make me a 2nd key on an expensive vehicle and they backed More

I would really like the opportunity to figure out who you are and what happened and see what I can do on my end. I spoke with Syrell and he wasn't familiar with any customers that did not have a great experience. Please give me a call or text and just let me know what exactly happened. Thank you, Michael Zafiriou, GM 847-477-3724

Poor performance by Service Dept staff. I brought my car in to diagnose a simple problem. It took 2.5 weeks, 3 phone calls initiated by me ( no return calls as promised by staff) and conver More

Antino Brown, I want to apologize about your misunderstanding of the situation. We definitely NEVER damage a clients vehicle to have you use your warranty. That is silly to even propose. The coverage company, Ameriplus, chose to cover what they want to cover. We submit the claim with all supporting evidence for them to review. If it was outside influence due to physical damage they would not cover it. Now I understand that you may be upset that the car left on both occasions with a knocking sound to the engine that you chose to not repair and was obviously declined by the coverage company. I can supply both invoices that you signed stating that you are aware that the engine still has issues with knocking but you declined to repair. It sounds like there is rod knock from the number 4 cylinder and so If you choose to pass on it and the coverage does as well I cant proceed in fixing it. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Volkswagen of Downtown Chicago responded

Hello Eric, I wanted to personally apologize for the credit of the 4.76 back to you. The system locked out payments going both ways on account of you crashing our loaner car. When there is extensive damage to cars in the loaner administration program it locks out all payments and freezes the records so that we may forward the records to your insurance company for the extensive damage that was caused while the car was in your possession. I am, again, very sorry about that issue. I will commit to informing you when the insurance claim on our car is complete so can be assured that the claim is 100% resolved. Thank you
