Great service I was very impressed with the service. Never did I feel pressured to come in after email contact, but I didn’t feel pressure to purchase either.

Quick communication, WE LOVE OUR NEW CAR! I reached out to Midlands VW after I felt another dealer was not listening (or cared) for our family's wants and needs. Emily responded to my messages I reached out to Midlands VW after I felt another dealer was not listening (or cared) for our family's wants and needs. Emily responded to my messages quickly and efficiently. After only days, we closed a deal. (She even transferred an Atlas in the color that we requested and in our price range within 24 hours.) We are so happy with our new car and so happy with the service that Emily provided. We felt listened to, and accommodated quickly. Thank you so much, Emily! More

It's a great vehicle for a great price; one of the best values I've found. Jim Hutson met us with a nice smile and asked how he could help. I told him what I wanted and why, and he didn't try to change my mind. Thank you! We quickly reviewed a few things, and Joey ran us through the paperwork. The orange color we wanted was a special order, but it was brought in the next evening. Sign and Drive, works well. See you again in three years. More

30 Crazy Days of Dealer Buttfumbles On December 27th, I dropped my car off for a repair to the already diagnosed lower oil pan gasket. I got a loaner, a completely base Jetta S(in which On December 27th, I dropped my car off for a repair to the already diagnosed lower oil pan gasket. I got a loaner, a completely base Jetta S(in which someone had soiled every seat) for my 2018 Golf GTI SE. On December 28th, I was informed that it was not the lower oil pan, but the upper oil pan, and that would be a few days. After about a week of no contact, I had to call them to get info. Finally, they tell me that now the rear main is leaking. After several attempts, January 9th rolls around, I get the call that my car is finished. It takes me 20 miles to realize it's not finished. I return the car because of a clunk(still not fixed, I believe the steering rack is failing) and it's leaking oil, where it was just seeping before. ON TOP OF THIS, they "detailed" (belt sanded) my car before I picked it up, leaving scratches EVERYWHERE. They upgraded the loaner to a new Tiguan, which was much less of an insult. After a couple of weeks, the dealer gives up(I had already requested a buyback), and calls in VW. VW arrives, determines that the tool to install the rear main is broken. Car is repaired (paint still in limbo), I get the call to pick it up on January 29th. 25 of the days I waited, was because this sorry excuse for a service department couldn't be bothered to check their tools before a major installation. And I'm still not done dealing with them. More

Go to any other dealership outside of this group My background is over a decade in working at dealerships and currently working as an operations analyst at a dealer. This dealer will bait you in My background is over a decade in working at dealerships and currently working as an operations analyst at a dealer. This dealer will bait you in with a nearly seamless sales department, however, this is just a setting of a trap. The kindness and warmth experienced in the brief time with the sales team is gone the moment you sign and you are thrown into a world in which the parts and service team lacks any concern for the customer. The parts department does not respond to inquiries and the parts desk is unattended for extremely long periods. This is inconvenient and annoying, but pales in comparison to the disaster that is the service department. Nothing is done quickly and a simple 10k service took nearly 4 hours to complete. I contacted VW corporate following a service visit here a few months ago after a headlight had to be replaced because the speed and accuracy of the service team was terrible and the customer service is the worst I've ever seen at any dealership. I was told that VW could not do much because the location is independently owned (by Mason Automotive Group). I had my 20k service completed on a Thursday and had an engine failure 2 days later. They had the car for a week while their service team and management ignore my calls and messages. The dealer takes no responsibility for the failure and denied warranty. I was charged for their poor attempt at diagnostics and when I talked to a senior management member, their operations director, the true nature of this dealer group became clear. In 10 years of working with dealerships, never have I witnessed such spitefulness and aggression towards a customer. When asking who his superior was, he claimed that he was the god of the organization and that he does not report to anyone. Based on his actions and conduct, it is now very clear why the rest of the staff feels that it is ok to treat customers with total disregard. More
