Ripped me off Schmelz sold me used car that I did not even get home before it broke! Torque converter/tranny issues.

Tried to tell me nothing wrong with it and forced me to take it back. 2 days later it did it again! Refuse to give me my money back. But would fix it at my cost! Are u kidding! Mechanic could not find problem first time. Do not trust this dealership or service department!! They are crooks!!! I am stuck with junk SUV that doesn't drive. Stranded. They should give me money back!! More
Leasing a new car We went in to trade our old lease out for a new one . Terrill Klecker who is a sales consultant at Maplewood Volkswagen was very knowledgeable. He too We went in to trade our old lease out for a new one . Terrill Klecker who is a sales consultant at Maplewood Volkswagen was very knowledgeable. He took the time to listen and understand what we were looking for. We came back a week later. He took the time out to send us a letter and give us a phone call between time. That's when we knew he had our business once there he made sure our family was comfortable. We were in and out within a hour. The best part is that he is not pushy what so ever. More
Excellent Customer Service by Ralph I leased a VW Tiguan at this dealership and had such a great experience, especially with turn-in. Ralph Ludden was the *Bomb*. I had never turned in a I leased a VW Tiguan at this dealership and had such a great experience, especially with turn-in. Ralph Ludden was the *Bomb*. I had never turned in a lease before so naturally had a lot of questions. It would have been closer to home to turn in at Westside but a lot more hassle. Ralph answered all of my questions and even tracked down answers specific to the excess wear and tear, the pre-turn in inspection, and specifics. He did this all at no benefit to himself because I had already leased a new vehicle with a similar brand and he wasn't my original sales person. I should also mention that throughout the duration of the lease I had excellent service especially from Cesar. Thanks, schmelz!!! More

Went in for an oil change, and as soon as I got it back my gear box was all screwed up. Thought nothing of it, till it progressively got worse. Forced them to look at it Monday as they wanted me to wait. They looked at it and said it's going to caused me 2500 to fix the clutch, as there was no documentation of them ruining anything. Took it euroworks in Woodbury, and the suspect a tech burnt out the clutch. Mind you, my car has 26k miles and I've driven a Manuel for about 7 years. I don't wanna scream foul-play, But I will say they have kids there that may not know what their doing. Not servicing my car there anymore.. it's a dealership, NOT a workshop More

2010 Buick LaCrosse Delivered today, to my place of employment no less. I worked with Christine Bakken who contacted me after an email I sent through their website. I wor Delivered today, to my place of employment no less. I worked with Christine Bakken who contacted me after an email I sent through their website. I work in a similar atmosphere so I had high expectations for communication. I went in the day before my appointment for an impromptu test drive and met with Ralph, who was very friendly and made the demo comfortable and engaging. After a bit of a bumpy start the next day (Internet down, had to wait a few hours before we could apply for financing and sign out), Christine handled my purchase with care and put me into a car I had been searching for quite sometime for an excellent price. I had a toddler with me the whole time, and she brought toys to keep her busy. The ONLY thing I wish would have been different - my vehicle was scheduled to get new brake equipment and tires so I was not able to take delivery for a few days (Purchased Saturday, delivered Tuesday.) Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to drive my new vehicle over the weekend. Mike Barcalow is an outstanding business manager and it was a pleasure working with him and Christine. I would certainly return in the future. More
