Unbelievable experience - they have our back! Our 2011 Passat lease would have been up in three months, and we were going to be quite over on miles due to work travel. We were dreading it...but r Our 2011 Passat lease would have been up in three months, and we were going to be quite over on miles due to work travel. We were dreading it...but resolved. Chris, the sales manager, called to propose lease terms based on the mileage he saw, and offered a nice deal to re-up early. Taking in to account all payments in the new lease, he saved us at least half of what we would have paid in penalty on the expiring lease. We are beyond grateful and nearly beyond belief. And, after having an excellent experience leasing the 2011 with Yaris Martinez, we were delighted to be introduced to Larry (Lozowski - hope I am spelling his last name correctly, his card is in the car...!). We felt comfortable and confident with Larry right away. He was knowledgeable and did a great job getting us excited about the features of the new Passat. Previously, we thought we'd just be replacing one for another, no big deal....but we ended up excited! And having some great laughs! Just a great experience all around with a wonderful dealership. We look forward to doing more business with Balise in the future! More

Didn't do better at Balise On Feburary 25th I agreed and signed on a price to buy a 2015 GTI at the Balise VW dealership in West Warwick RI but the sale did not get done. Appare On Feburary 25th I agreed and signed on a price to buy a 2015 GTI at the Balise VW dealership in West Warwick RI but the sale did not get done. Apparently one of the Managers Greg, that wrote up the sale, doubled the discount and even after signing and agreeing on a price, I was told I could not buy the vehicle at the agreed upon price, which I signed for, because there was an accident with the rebate being doubled. My sales rep David proceeded to rip up the signed agreement, which we shook on, with the price, trade in amount, and financing rate. I was then given a revised rate with the "correct" discounted amount. I stated that I already committed to the deal I signed for. I was told they couldn't do that and it was now past 9pm, so I left the dealership. I tried calling the dealership's to speak with the GM, and Greg who is not the GM but is a manager who put the numbers together, called to say they had my license, that was left in a copy machine (which is a major inconvenience in itself) and apologized for his mistake with the numbers and stated it was only the second time it happened in four years. I told him I felt that the right thing to do would be to honor the deal given to me. I was told that couldn't be done, so I requested my license to be mailed back to me. I feel as though, a mistake like this should have been caught with the amount of back and forth as my trade-in was increased and an extended maintenance plan was added. If it was caught during the second look over and I was told it was a mistake, before I ever signed anything, I could understand. In my line of work, if a mistake like this were to happen, we typically are forced to absorb it. It is considered a cost of doing business. Sometimes a creative solution will fully offset the error or sometimes we just have to pony up. On the 28th, I did speak with the GM Michael, and another apology was made and I stressed nothing else was offered to me to help offset the pricing error, and he offer the choice of a tire warranty package or a extended schedual service, but neither of these services would have offset the mistake. It was a step in the right direction, but still a few hundred dollars in value off. I understand that accidents (or possibly dealer games) can happen, and apologies were made, but I am just really disappointed. More
2014 VW CC purchase I had previously bought a 2010 VW Passat new, 5 years ago here at Balise.

I drove the car for the past 5 years and absolutely loved the car and the service provided by Balise VW. This time around I was interested in the 2014 VW CC which were discounted do to the new model year 2015 being available. I worked with Charles Kinch a Sales Consultant who helped me decide on a color seeing there were 5 different colors to choose from in the CC line. Charles showed me the color he thought I'd like best, Island Grey, which was a huge help because I was lost on the color choice overall. I test drove the car and really liked it. Charles set up the pricing for me and finance options. After deciding on my trade in allowance for a 2005 BMW XI which my son had been driving, the paperwork came together quickly. While I was completing the paperwork with the finance manager, Yaris Martinez also a Sales Consultant, checked over my trade in to make sure I had removed all my belongings, although I assured him I had done so. Yaris discovered I had left my parking pass on the rear view mirror. This avoided a potential big issue for me on Monday morning. It was a very small thing but I was impressed with Yaris' attention to detail. He then had the car cleaned, gas tank filled, and switched my plates and clear plate covers onto the new VW CC. After the paperwork was completed (roughly 15 minutes), Yaris went over all the features of the new CC with me. Overall a great car buying experience, they put a very tough deal together for me, meanwhile there was coffee, hot chocolate, and pizza available while I waited. The process was very smooth and painless. This dealership is made up of real down to earth and knowledgeable professionals which is why I am a repeat customer, not to mention the VW's are a very strong value for your dollar, and extremely durable with regular maintenance, which is included on new VW's for the first 24 months.

Great Experience! My husband and I found a used vehicle that fit our needs online at Balise VW. We went in to check it out and Charlie Kinch was our sales consultant. H My husband and I found a used vehicle that fit our needs online at Balise VW. We went in to check it out and Charlie Kinch was our sales consultant. He was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. We did several test drives and stopped in at Balise VW several times over the course of 2 weeks and every single person there was nothing but nice and helpful (can't say that for some of the other dealerships we went to). Charlie was extremely helpful at getting us into the car we wanted and needed for our family and at a price we could afford. Next time we are looking for a vehicle, our first stop will certainly be Balise Volkswagon in West Warwick, RI. More

Everyone that was involved with the process was also wonderful. More
