(Had to have my ca Last time I had my car serviced the diesel fuel emission additive wasn't filled. I went back after the oil change to get it filled. (Had to have my car towed in because all the oil leaked out driving down the road.) The tech who filled it spilled it on the trunk liner. The most recent change went perfectly but I had to ask for the crystallized exhaust emission additive to be cleaned from the trunk liner instead of the tech taking the initiative to clean it up. I was disappointed by this. Take pride in your work. More

Above and beyond service -- on a Saturday! I made a Saturday appointment for an oil change, forgetting that the shuttle service was only available weekdays.

But the technician quickly offered me a car to use, so I could run some important, time sensitive errands while my car was being serviced. I definitely appreciated her effort to go above and beyond and offer a loaner vehicle. My only issue is that customarily, a service technician will go over the report they send with you (with the red, yellow, and green colors), detailing the various check points performed as part of the service. Perhaps it was due to it being a Saturday and that a service technician was unavailable to go over the findings with me, but I discovered at home a day later than one of my fluid levels need attention. I would have appreciated this being pointed out to me on the day of service. They typically are. More

I've had my cars serviced at Lithia a total of three times and the service experience has been an absolute nightmare. Unless there's an alternative to this dealership, this will be my last Volkswagen, and if I could have rated a negative number, I would have. More

My experience has been that you pay a little more for service at any VW dealer but the work is done right, the waiting areas are pleasant and the people are great. And, this dealership is one of the best and I will use them again if the need arises when I am in the area. More
Jeremy went above and beyond to assist me during my last visit at the VW dealership, in that he was extremely helpful. In the process of having my car refinanced, I was having trouble removing one of the ru visit at the VW dealership, in that he was extremely helpful. In the process of having my car refinanced, I was having trouble removing one of the rusted screws from my old out of state license plate. I really appreciate him taking the time to listen, understand, and actually provide a solution on the spot that day. He truly made me feel as a valued customer. Thank you! I hope this is incorporated into his evaluation as an employee within the sales department. More

Please do not waste your time and money, they are not honest and do crappy work. Each time me or my husband take our cars for a service, we find additional issues the next day after visit. That cannot be honest and do crappy work. Each time me or my husband take our cars for a service, we find additional issues the next day after visit. That cannot be a simple coincidence! We are deffinitely not comming back! More
