Sonic automotive I'm very surprised at the Kind of Manager Jay Joslin, ( sales manager )took a turn for Matt on a 2010 Lexus ES 350 and when he approached me he came up in a rude manner we discussed price and Jay Joslin, ( sales manager )took a turn for Matt on a 2010 Lexus ES 350 and when he approached me he came up in a rude manner we discussed price and he immediately told me he had $12,950 in the car and 700+ dollars of recon when the car needed no recon on it all. First ball face tail he told ..and the car was listed at $13,900...he's a very poor sales manager if he got the car at $12,950 and it's gonna spend $700 on recon and sale it for few hundred dollars over... not good business sense ..And I can honestly admit that the car was extremely clean and drove well..... in addition he told me he knew I was trying to get a deal but Houston is flooded with over 750,000 cars...he wasn't budging on the price one penny SOOOOO.....good luck !!!!!!!!!!! Now believe me he didn't say any of the statements what a general smile he was extremely rude obnoxious actually Now as a consumer I can appreciate the business wanting to make a profit but when a manager is that rude then I have a problem with that I would never buy another car from sonic automotive and I would never refer anyone to a sonic automotive store... the sad part about the whole thing is you could've negotiated the sale in addition the sales person stood there and dismay.....apparently there's no secret that his behavior happens on a regular basis.....and I am a sales manager I could never treat a customer that way...the car was not for me it was a referral the young lady was preapproved at her credit union...earlier today I spoke to a DAVID Fulwiler.....followed up with me and asked me to come in and then I met Matt which was very nice sales person.... very bad experience ......

Worst Dealership First off, this is one of the most unprofessional dealership I have ever dealt with in my entire life. From conversations using profanity to empty/fal First off, this is one of the most unprofessional dealership I have ever dealt with in my entire life. From conversations using profanity to empty/false promises, this dealership do not stand by their words. I'm surprised Momentum have not dropped this branch from their branding. This branch is defaming the Momentum name (which the other Momentum dealerships are more courtesy, friendly, knowledgeable and professional). The way this branch operates is like a mama-papa shop. The manager himself is unforgivably classless and cannot comprehend simple mathematics if his life depends on it. I will spare this dealership the little dignity it has left and not mentioned any specific names involved. Despite of reading previous bad reviews, I still attempted to give this dealership a benefit of the doubt. Going against my gut instinct, this is one of my biggest mistake. If you value your time and do not want to deal with "stereotypical" salesman tactic, please avoid this dealership. I hope corporate reads this comment and re-evaluate this dealership's current business practices. I bet this is one of the poor performing branch of Momentum. More
Quality Assurance Volkswagen owners understand the cost AND value of driving a VW. So when maintenance or repairs are necessary, quality of service and customer care b Volkswagen owners understand the cost AND value of driving a VW. So when maintenance or repairs are necessary, quality of service and customer care become paramount. Justin is not only an informed service rep, he's an understanding one. There's a lot of logistics involved in dropping a car off, getting to work, picking up kids, etc... Justin gets that and works with you to get you happily on your way with the least amount of disruption. Sincere care and concern go a long way. I had that when I bought my car from Tom Vetter, and I'm still getting it! More

40,000 Service Excellence I had my 40,000 mile service this morning at Clear Lake Momentum VW. Everything was great and went as I was told it would. I made my appt with Glori I had my 40,000 mile service this morning at Clear Lake Momentum VW. Everything was great and went as I was told it would. I made my appt with Gloria last week. She gave me a rundown of the services they would perform and the approximate cost. She also told me it could take up to three hours. I brought work with me and was able to enjoy a quiet, well-lit environment to do my computer work. The dealership is very well-appointed. Service completed in two hours even with two extra items needed to be replaced and the washing of my car. Very happy and satisfied with Gloria and this dealership. More
Keep driving into Houston I currently own my second Volkswagen Beetle and live in Galveston. Clear Lake Volkswagen is of course the closest to my home. However, I recommend eve I currently own my second Volkswagen Beetle and live in Galveston. Clear Lake Volkswagen is of course the closest to my home. However, I recommend everyone do your self a favor and keep driving into Houston. The communication at this dealership is incredibly poor and everyone seems to have a different answer concerning service questions. My personal opinion is that this could be the result of a high turn over rate being as every time I come into the dealership for routine maintenance each service desk has a new nameplate. They unfortunately do not contact you or return calls in a timely fashion. As I said in the title - if you have life commitments (career, children, etc.) continue driving north into Houston where you can be informed correctly (first time) of the processes you may experience and most importantly just receive overall updates concerning your affairs. Throughout my experience owning a Volkswagen, I have received services from Volkswagen located off of 59 and Kirby and they exceeded my expectations. I am sitting at the dealership as I write this review and I checked the nameplates on their desk and not a single name in the service department is listed on this sites employee list. This supports my thought of poor communication and high turn over. More
Trade in turned into a nightmare. I could have easily gone to another dealer..and I should have. I am disgusted with the leadership at this location and with VW corporate. Went in to g I could have easily gone to another dealer..and I should have. I am disgusted with the leadership at this location and with VW corporate. Went in to get my car serviced... Decided to purchase a new vehicle instead..had been a loyal customer at this location since 2003.. Traded in my vehicle but couldn't retrieve any of my items that night because the service dept was closed..and my car was on a lift. After calling numerous times to verify my items were still there.. How to transfer the title following up etc.. Was told I wouldn't have an issues getting my personal items. I returned a few weeks later.. Everything was stolen from my vehicle.. Including a firearm.. Save a few items. Basically the only thing they could tell me was they have signs up everywhere stating they aren't responsible. Apparently this dealership hires thieves..and they can get away with it because of signs. I am seriously considering returning the 2011 BMW 328i coupe... WORST experience ever. I've managed customer service for the last 15 years and have never seen anything like it. Please take your business elsewhere. More
poor service/ unexperience "master technicians we drop the car off on a friday, for check engine light on, the service advisor did not call me back till the following thursday stating that they nee we drop the car off on a friday, for check engine light on, the service advisor did not call me back till the following thursday stating that they need to replace two sensors $419.00 and hopping that, it will fix "my problem". vehicle was running rough and the check engine light was on, for low fuel pressure.. i okay the repairs. after several days i call them to find out the status of the car and they said the vehicle still has a rough idle, the need 1 more hour check out time. i approve the check out time, after several days i call them back, they could not give any inf. of the vehicle, they gave me the run around. after many calls the finally had an answer that they need to replace all the injectors that they were shorted internally , est. around $1800.00, and hoping that would fix my problem. W T F and they call them self master certified technicians?. after i made up my mind, i declined the repairs because now i'm dealing with "mechanics not technicians, drop off car on 12/18/15 pick up 01/26/16. previous approval was 419, plus an hour check out time, when i pick up car my bill was 974 dls? really? the guy name liars said because they did extra things to it, w t f?. i been driving the car for several days with a slight rough idle, the check engine light came back on for the low fuel pressure again. so my advise to every one to find a reliable mechanic not scammers as the stealer. been trying to contact the advisor and the receptionist say "he is on a meeting" or "he is with a customer".

Personal Experience with Buying a Used Beetle Do NOT buy from these guys. They are not ethical salesman. I put a cash downpayment on a car on 10/29 at 641 pm, since it was so late...we did all the Do NOT buy from these guys. They are not ethical salesman. I put a cash downpayment on a car on 10/29 at 641 pm, since it was so late...we did all the paperwork, title, registration, loan, they took my downpayment and told me the car would be cleaned, vacuumed and full of gas by 1100 the next morning. My college age kid was home for the holidays when a lady hit her and totaled her beloved bug that she has had since 2006. Well this was the most horrible experience of our life! This was her replacement car to get her back to college. When she arrived to pick the car up at 1100 on 12/30, she was told the car was sold this am to a man. How can you buy a car on 11/29, put a cash downpayment and do all the paperwork with a delivery the next am to find that a man walked in and bought the car after the 1100 deliver time. This is how car salesmen treat single mothers. How can you sale a car on 11/30 when is was already sold on 11/29? DON'T BUY FROM HERE. You will regret it!!! RUN AWAY from these unethical and crooked business men. More
