Michael's knowledge of cars was unmatched- and his approach was neither pushy nor condescending. We were very impressed with his friendly manner, and thorough knowledge. Overall a very pleasurable experience. I'd strongly recommend Bernardsville VW to friends and family and particularly Michael. More

Excellent experience working with Michael. He was very friendly, responsive, flexible and open to communication via all channels. I found his sales approach to be fair and reasonable. Working hard to cut friendly, responsive, flexible and open to communication via all channels. I found his sales approach to be fair and reasonable. Working hard to cut me a deal while maintaining a profit for the dealership. The process was smooth and positive and while I found the pricing not exactly the rock bottom prices available to me, they were certainly very competitive. With the level of service factored in, I ultimately decided to purchase from Michael and Bernardsville. This is my 3rd VW purchase in the last 12 years. And my second with Bernardsville. If the service department lives up to the standard set by Michael, I anticipate working well with them. However, my first VW purchase from Bernardsville and the subsequent experience with their service department led me to another dealer 10 years ago. So I am cautiously optimistic. More

I purchased my VW here, but when I brought the car in for a regular 40,000 miles service, I walked out with a bill of $1,700. Is that a joke? There was NOTHING wrong with the car when I brought it in. The se a regular 40,000 miles service, I walked out with a bill of $1,700. Is that a joke?

The title was ready before they said it would be and I got a $30.50 refund for overpayment of the title fee. I would recommend Bill Gaffney to anyone considering a VW. More

I had gone online to check dealer stock, and invoice price with options before going to the dealership. I chose Bernardsville VW because they had the Tiguan Wolfsburg with the options we (my wife and I) price with options before going to the dealership. I chose Bernardsville VW because they had the Tiguan Wolfsburg with the options we (my wife and I) wanted. When we arrived at the dealer we were greeted by Bill Gaffney. He sent someone to get the vehicle from another lot, while we worked on the deal. He offered a great price on our trade (2009 Subaru Tribeca) and a great price on the new Tiguan. We looked at the vehicle, agreed to the deal, and went into town for lunch while they typed up the paperwork. We arrived back at the dealership after having lunch, and the paperwork was ready for us to sign. We signed all paperwork, the Tiguan had been dealer prepped, and was ready to go. Upon arriving home, we noticed that when they prepped the Tiguan, they installed the front license plate bracket, which we did not need because we live in PA and not NJ. I removed the bracket to find that it had been installed with 4 self tapping screws that left nasty looking holes in the front bumper. Our options were to have an ugly bracket with no plate, run some type of vanity plate, or have a front bumper with 4 holes in it. I called Bill to see what he could do, and he was NOT very understanding. At first he tried to tell me that the car had the bracket on it already, which it did not. We saw it before it was prepped. Then he tried to tell me that all vehicles in NJ had to have the bracket, which is sort of true, but we didn’t live in NJ. Then he tried to tell me that our Subaru had a bracket for a front plate, which it did not, because it was purchased and prepped in Pa. After shooting him down on all comments, he said I needed to talk to the sales manager. My call went to voicemail, and I have not received a call back, nor am I able to get a hold of Bill Gaffney. When I call and ask for him they give me to another salesman, or send me to voicemail, with no return call. In my opinion, the salesman should have told the guy who was going to prep the car that it was going to be a PA car, and that would indicate the front bracket not be installed. Furthermore, if a mistake was made, just admit it, and correct it, don't try to talk your way out of it. The next step is Volkswagen Customer Complaint Department at (800)822-8987. More

I leased a 2008 Touareg in April 2008. I have to say that this is possibly the worst experience I have ever had with a dealership full-stop. Leasing a car from VW is the worst option you can possibly c that this is possibly the worst experience I have ever had with a dealership full-stop. Leasing a car from VW is the worst option you can possibly choose. I would never recommend this or this dealership. During the lease of my car I was told by my salesman (Bill)that I would qualify for the tires for life program through Bernardsville of VW, but I am now being told that I don't qualify and in fact, the Touareg never has been included in this program. How would I have ever known about this program or be expecting that I would qualify for over 2 years? Also, they are now telling me that I wouldn't qualify for the program anyway since I missed my 20K service. I was not aware of a 20K service and why would I skip it if I knew it would affect my qualification for the program. Needless to say, they will NEVER see this car again for service. Anyone I know who uses them for service will certainly be told to go elsewhere and to never do business with this organization. This all just seems very shady and a big bait and switch on their part. Why would I pay $90 for an oil change if I didn't think I could offset the cost somewhat by not having to buy tires...simply does not add up. More
