Great Car Buying Experience I came to look at options for possible car purchase with no intention to buy a car until November. Andre Jennings was so helpful. He allowed to to tak I came to look at options for possible car purchase with no intention to buy a car until November. Andre Jennings was so helpful. He allowed to to take the VW Golf Alltrack overnight so I could really determine it was the right car and then work so hard the next day to gain my business and meet my needs and budget. I’m really enjoying my new car and look forward to my next purchase from Andre and Volkswagen of Downtown. Jay S. More

Buyers Beware Big WARNING Sign.. Dealer is not legitimate. Fletcher Jones is no longer associated with this dealership and most of the 254 reviews are for the old m Big WARNING Sign.. Dealer is not legitimate. Fletcher Jones is no longer associated with this dealership and most of the 254 reviews are for the old management. Dealership now is extremely shady. I bought a car here and regret it. Basically Marcus was very rude to us and they tried to hike up the interest rate after promising us a low interest rate. Then they hiked up the price of the car in the retail contract by adding service contacts which I never signed. After about 2 months of time and multiple follow ups and complaints to multiple agencies and Volkswagen. They agreed to make amends by changing the contracts and submitting them to bank. Now I have multiple hard inquiries on my account for no reason. Plus this was an unnerving experience to find out your signature was forged in bank documents. More
Unprofessional Management Team Went in to lease a new vehicle this past weekend with my wife. After a nice test drive we started to negotiate. After the normal back and fourth we ta Went in to lease a new vehicle this past weekend with my wife. After a nice test drive we started to negotiate. After the normal back and fourth we talked with Marcus (a manager) and agreed on a monthly payment, down payment, and implied purchase price (for tax purposes). After we agreed and got to the finance desk, everything went downhill. They tried to bait and switch us on the implied purchase price (showed MSRP for tax purposes which made our monthly payment higher by $20/month than what was agreed to). When called out, Marcus played dumb and then ran away/refused to correct it. Then it was communicated that there is a mandatory maintenance package that is more than just an oil change, required to be performed at a VW dealership once a year, regardless of mileage. This required service was not communicated during negotiations and costs nearly $1000 over a 3 year lease, upping the agreed upon monthly payment again by another $20. Marcus was again called out on withholding this information, this time by his own employee (finance manager). During our time in the dealership, it was also observed that the General Manager (GM) was nasty and berated employees in front of customers, and refused to help his employees when they were overwhelmed with too many customers. All around, will most certainly NOT be recommending VW of Downtown Chicago to anyone. A disappointing experience that perpetuates the stereotype of car dealerships being a terrible place to do business with. More
Scam Artists What this dealership did to me seems criminal. I came in to test drive some cars because a few days later I had my buy back appointment for my TDI. I What this dealership did to me seems criminal. I came in to test drive some cars because a few days later I had my buy back appointment for my TDI. I couldn't pay for the new car until I had the buy back money. Of course they say "no problem! drive the car home and bring the check when you have it!" It was creepy how easily it was when I drove away in my brand new car, and they kept my old Jetta TDI. What I didn't realize at the time, was that all this paperwork the woman from finance SHOWED me, was actually put through. It was about $3,500 of extra crap I didn't want and never signed for. Additionally, she had me sign a "backup" finance agreement, saying this will only be used if I don't show up with the check to pay the full amount of the car. I said several times, "I'm paying cash, not financing." And she said that this contract would be torn up once I pay in cash. About 5 days later, I'm there for my buy back appointment. She put that "backup" contract through. For the wrong amount. After I get my first bill, I call them and tell them it's the wrong amount. She tells me it takes 4 weeks for the cancellation of those extra add ons, and it'll show up on my next bill. I received my second bill this morning, and it's still the wrong amount. At this point I've already paid hundreds in interest, and am about to just bite the bullet and pay the few thousand extra just to be done with it. It's unbelievable what these people can get away with. They give you keys to a shiny new car, talk really fast, crack jokes, and throw a bunch of papers in your face to send you on your merry way. It's a total scam. Do not go here to buy a car. More

Car dealer did not refund my money for programming 2nd key Been trying to get money for a 2nd key programming which they agreed to pay. Sent many email, phone calls but nothing. The car I purchase, was a CPO v Been trying to get money for a 2nd key programming which they agreed to pay. Sent many email, phone calls but nothing. The car I purchase, was a CPO vehicle but within 3 months it had problems. Had to go to another dealer closer to me to fix . At 28,000 miles one of the fuel injectors failed and then valves had to be replaced. Had it all done under warranty which took more than a month to fix but the car is not the same. It lost it's acceleration and since there's no fault code, the dealer will not do anything. Fletcher Jones did not refund my money for the key or acknowledged any of my email correspondence to date.

Friendly staff, no pressure, enjoyable experience. I absolutely hate buying cars, because the pressure and sales techniques always ensure I leave the dealership with something I didn't actually want. B I absolutely hate buying cars, because the pressure and sales techniques always ensure I leave the dealership with something I didn't actually want. But this experience was great. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and gave me the run down on any car I wanted to look at. I left with everything I wanted and nothing I didn't. Next time I buy a car, I'm going back to this place. More
