Terrible Business Practice They gave me a rental car to help with my inconvenience they had caused for the car I bought from them less than a year that is pre-owned certified th They gave me a rental car to help with my inconvenience they had caused for the car I bought from them less than a year that is pre-owned certified that had to be in the shop 3 times in one month. I had the rental car for about 3 hours. Travel expense of $3.70 worth in gas, returned the car as I received it, great condition. Ask for service representative to check the vehicle over, declining my offer saying nope good to go! Then to find out that the car mysteriously has a large crack through the center of the windshield - 2.5 days after I returned it and I am at fault to cover the charges. The car was in my possession for approximately 3 hours, the dealership had possession of the vehicle for 2.5 days. Car was not immediately checked over and sat on the lot for over two days, anything can happen during this time period. Now, if it was my fault I would be more than happy to cover the accident/charges but when you know that the car was not in the condition when you left it is another thing. Of course they rented/arranged through a 3rd party, therefore I had two employees in the service department state "..sorry not our problem, it's yours.." Fast forward a couple days: Their business practice is atrocious. I discussed the situation with the owner of the dealership and I was told that I was wasting a lot of energy into something so little and that it's a simple claim or charge to my credit card. Clearly that is not the point; it's the principle, its the fact that I did not cause the damage. My question is, if it is so simple then why don't they eat the cost? More

Oil Change I purchased two vehicles from Schmelz and the customer service has nearly always been spot on. The last two service appointments however are making m I purchased two vehicles from Schmelz and the customer service has nearly always been spot on. The last two service appointments however are making me think twice about taking my vehicle in for service. Today, I set up an oil change. Over 1 hour and 45 minutes later, I finally got my vehicle back. This was a scheduled appointment. My car is a 2017 VW so no other maintenance was needed. (in for my first scheduled oil change). Once received, no car wash... although I was asked prior to picking up my car if I wanted it washed. After 1 hour and 45 minutes, I was hoping for a home cooked meal. Simply stated, I am disappointed and will be looking to other dealerships in the future who offer better communication and quicker turnaround. More

She has seen to it that my 04 Passat is kept up to speed in the service department. She's friendly and efficient and KNOWS HER STUFF on Volkswagens recommended service. Followed all her advice, and the 04 purrs like a satisfied cat. Hopefully I can get another 13 years out of it . On the small chance of Shevawn not being in Service, my next go to guy is John - Management must have a heck of a training for their Advisors. Can't go wrong. More
