Royal knowingly sold my son a vehicle with a bad compressor. To make matters worse the General Sales Manager refuses to even speak with us about the issue. His refusal to communicate with us says a More

Laquita, I apologize that you experienced a common mechanical failure with your Impala. I did drive this particular vehicle several times after our in house inspection and service and there was never any issue in relation to this problem. We did offer a vehicle service contract that helps in situations like this but it was declined. We are willing to help get this problem resolved in our service department at a reduced rate of labor. Please let me know if that will help. It was advertised as is with no dealer warranty.

I don’t believe that you all are being truthful. We were informed by a mechanic that the vehicle had an excess amount of freon. This suggests that the air was not cooling. I feel certain that the inspection revealed that something was not right with the air- at a minimum. I further believe Royal knew the full extent of the issue, but because you were selling the car as is, you had no intention on making repairs. I understand how warranties work, and I am also aware that the car was sold as is. I did not, however, expect it to have a bad compressor within days of purchasing a 2019 vehicle. If you are genuine in your offer to provide repairs at a discount, please contact me to discuss details. My son was told by the salesman Matt that you all couldn’t service the vehicle because it was a 2019 model, which makes no sense. I have yet to receive a response to my emails to the sales manager, which says a lot as well. I may be reached at that e mail address or at the phone number on file.

Very disappointed with the sales department. Try to sell me the 2022 Tiguan $3000 over invoice. Very dishonest action. Called The GM and will not reply my complaint. Stay away from this VW dealership. Fra More

DON'T GO TO THIS DEALERSHIP!!! They will sell you a broken vehicle, then tell you they would fix the problem after lying about what the problem is. When you try to call them they won't answer, and if y More
