I maintain a small bound service log on every car I own. I had the first one stolen 3-4 years ago from their service staff. But this week I had forgotten about that event and sure enough my second one was stolen. This time they took the oil change schedule sticker off as well, because it was not theirs!. I can’t fathom to what reason they visit your glove box and remove a step by step maintenance record of your vehicle? Pretty pathetic and not what I want from a service team. So long West Broad VW!!!

Poor Service and Even Poorer Customer Service Dear Sir, We are writing to you to express how disappointed and troubled we are with the service we received from your service department on our 200 Dear Sir, We are writing to you to express how disappointed and troubled we are with the service we received from your service department on our 2004 Jetta. Several weeks ago, our 2004 Jetta, would not start. We phoned to your service department and had the Jetta towed in. We were advised that the Jetta needed a new Instrument Cluster. After agreeing to the service (and a $1,000 + later), we picked up the car. Upon driving the car home, we noticed that (1) odometer reading was over 400,000 miles (2) the clock was not re-set and (3) the radio was locked out. When we brought the car into the shop. it had approximately 115,000 miles on the odometer. This can be verified by the oil sticker on the windshield from March, 2016 and also from the Inspection done in September, 2015 We phoned the service department and were first told that the mileage came from the computer reading. We were also told that this department gets many cars in with 300,000 – 400,000 mileage ( like this was the case with the Jetta). Your service advisor told us she would check into this issue and get back to us. Within 24 hours of picking the car up, the generator light came on, it went off, then air bag lights came on and off and finally the car completely died in a major intersection. We immediately phoned and were told abruptly that we could have the car towed in at our expense and they would look at the work they had done, but we were, of course, responsible for any other work. There was never any mention from your service department that they were sorry we were in this predicament or concerns about our being so inconvenienced. After the car was towed back in, we insisted that your department get to the bottom of the odometer situation, While this has finally been taken care of ( after 10 days) by replacing the instrument cluster with another new one, we are totally frustrated with this entire situation. We are now being told that the car needs an alternator. We will have this work done by someone else and then will sell this vehicle, a vehicle that we have spent over $4000 on in the last 18 months. We did try and phone you and left a message regarding this situation but have not received any return phone call as of today. What is disturbing is that the odometer issue was always treated by your service staff as “ no big deal.” By changing the odometer setting to over 400,000 miles, you returned to me a car that was now worth a few hundred dollars as opposed to the few thousand dollars it should have been worth But perhaps most troubling is the fact that we were never phoned during this entire process to acknowledge that there was indeed something faulty with the first service we received. We were in the market for a new car, and VW was on our list, however, we certainly would not purchase one now, especially after these service issues. Volkswagon of America has received some very poor press as of late, and we would think that it would be in your company’s best interest to strive at offering the best service possible in an attempt to and try to rebuild your product’s image. As small business owners ourselves for over 35 years, we felt compelled to write directly to you and make you aware of this situation. We know that if we treated our customers in this manner, we would not be in business very long. More
Very easy to deal with I live in the Washington DC area and was recently in the market for a loaded VW Sportswagen. I contacted many of the dealers in the DC area and most I live in the Washington DC area and was recently in the market for a loaded VW Sportswagen. I contacted many of the dealers in the DC area and most of them were uncooperative. They generally didn't want to deal with me unless I came in, etc. Michael Hayes of West Broad VW was extremely easy to deal with. He was responsive and very willing to deal and discuss by phone and email. He recognized that I knew what I wanted and what a fair price was. Since I was not in the area, we did almost everything by phone and email and it made for a very easy visit. The car was ready for me to pickup and he spent quite a bit of time explaining how everything operated. Everyone on the sales team was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I have been buying cars for 40 years and this was the easiest and most pleasurable experience I have had. I highly recommend them More
Great car and great dealership. I decided to buy a 2016 Audi A6 3.0T after doing exhaustive research. It was a smart decision. This car is fast, stylish, road hugging, and beautifull I decided to buy a 2016 Audi A6 3.0T after doing exhaustive research. It was a smart decision. This car is fast, stylish, road hugging, and beautifully appointed. I bought at West Broad Audi and the entire customer experience was low key and first class. These guys are professionals - sales, service, finance. Diego Vizcaino helped me navigate the process and he was all I could ask for - knowledgable, engaging, and attentive to detail. You want to find him and put him to work on your behalf. All in, this was a positive experience and I would recommend the Audi brand and the West Broad Audi team. More
They sold me a lemon Less than six months after I bought a 2009 Jetta sportwagen and 300 miles after my expensive warranty expired, many things went wrong with the Jetta Less than six months after I bought a 2009 Jetta sportwagen and 300 miles after my expensive warranty expired, many things went wrong with the Jetta almost simultaneously. Jeana Gordon in the service department gave me a quote of nearly $7000. I bought the car for $9000. The general manager has not returned my phone calls. I've left two voicemail messages for him. The man who sold me the car, Michael Fetty, referred me back to the service department when I called him for help . He said sales and service are two totally different units and he can't help me. I want my money back. I want a different car. This is my third Volkswagen in 20 years and I've never had such bad service. I owned the other two Volkswagens when we lived in a different city. More
Treat you like crap after you buy The car buying process was fairly painless and satisfying. That may not be a reflection of West Broad VW as the associate that sold me my car was a gu The car buying process was fairly painless and satisfying. That may not be a reflection of West Broad VW as the associate that sold me my car was a guy I knew from the past because he worked at AT&T so we already had something in common to break the ice because he helped me before. However, my issue with West Broad was after buying my car. Unfortunately I feel as though their customer service only runs the course of you paying and signing your name on the dotted line. I should've known better than to go with them over Priority when the manager gave me a hard time over a safety kit that was supposed to come with the car and wasn't. He was really willing to lose a sale over a safety kit! Fortunately my sales associate kept his promise and had it waiting for me a few days later. My biggest issue with them was the service I received in the West Broad Collision center. After experiencing horrible service where my car was damaged while in their care and having to pay for what they broke on my car (read the full story on my review for West Broad Collision Center) I sought to speak to the manager over top of the shop manager at the collision center. A few days after getting my car back I received an automated email from the branch manager MARK PARHAM. It contained a bunch of information about how if I wasn't happy with the service to give him a call because he cares about my experience blah blah blah. Well I did I called him numerous times and he never answered. Left a message and he never returned my call. Went up to the West Broad VW and he was at lunch. Came back at 2pm to see if he was back from lunch but he was in a "meeting" said he'd come out in 15 minutes and I was left sitting there for an hour before I realized he was never coming out. I have no clue what this guy looks like or if he even exists. What startled me the most was how protective of this guy the associates were. No one made eye contact with me not even the guy that helped me with the money portion of the buying process when I bought my car. It felt cold in that show room like I wasn't wanted or welcomed. I paid for my car in cold hard cash, no financing. I deserve respect well after buying my car. Don't give me great service to get the deal then treat me like crap later. Unfortunately that's exactly how I'd summarize my experience at West Broad VW. Long story short, take it from me and spend the extra 1,000 at Priority or even Browns if you're in the market for a VW, it really is worth the extra money for customer service that lasts beyond the initial buying process. Don't allow yourself to get to a place of feeling used or mistreated like I have with them. Will be taking my car to priority for servicing in the future (which they offer for free when you buy your car through them). More

Brad Reichwein is incredible! I was traveling from Colorado and needed an oil change on my Audi.

I called Brad and he was able to get me scheduled for the day I was going to be in town....so on two day's notice, he worked me in so that it worked for schedule. I miss having Brad as my service advisor; he has been the most consistent and trustworthy service advisor I've ever had (I used to live in Richmond and he took care of previous Audi's I've owned).
