I bought my Atlas from Bud Brown in 2019 and have since regretted ever doing so. I hate myself every time my vehicle comes due for service or requires a recall appointment. The level of upselling they tr regretted ever doing so. I hate myself every time my vehicle comes due for service or requires a recall appointment. The level of upselling they try to do every time I've been there for a regular service appointment is above anything I've ever experienced. The whole thing feels like a sales pitch -- NOT a regular maintenance/service appointment for a customer who spent $60k at their place of business on a new vehicle. When I originally purchased the vehicle, the interest rate and financing they offered through VW (which you were encouraged to use of course) was WAY higher than what the par rate was through any other lender. They did offer to take an amount off the sales price if you went with VW pricing, but it wasn't anywhere close to the extra money it would cost you in interest. They tried to brush it under the rug and drew the paperwork up with their own financing even though we had told them we had already set all of that up and had a check ready. The service department is incompetent. You can't schedule an appointment for something as simple as an oil change, but they won't give you any sort of timeline either. When they do *require* an appointment for something like a recall, the appointment means nothing anyway. When I arrived, the guy asked me if I was leaving my vehicle at the shop, to which I replied that I was and asked how long it was going to be. "As long as it takes to get it to the front of the line, plus about an hour" was his response. I responded" what's the purpose of the appointment then?". He said that the appointment is just to reserve my spot for the DAY, and asked who I talked to. I told him that I was pretty sure the iPad he was holding would tell him who booked the appointment for me! Total incompetence. To add it, I asked him about the 2nd recall on the car that they hadn't come up with a solution for -- something to do with the airbag not deploying on the front passenger side. His response was that there wasn't a fix for that recall yet, but just don't have anyone sit in that seat. I don't expect this guy to have an answer, but he clearly has no idea how to deal with people. I would prefer to take my vehicle (esp a foreign make) to the shop where it was purchased, and am normally loyal consumer. I have literally considered getting rid of my vehicle and buying a different one so that I can deal with one shop start to finish instead of looking for somewhere else to take my vehicle for maintenance. NOT SURPRISED at all to read all of the bad reviews. More
