Poor performance by Service Dept staff. I brought my car in to diagnose a simple problem. It took 2.5 weeks, 3 phone calls initiated by me ( no return calls as promised by staff) and conver More

Hello Gareinhart, Ia really sorry to hear this. I want to personally look into what happened and waiting weeks for an update and not receiving calls back as promised is simply not acceptable. Please give me a call or text so I can better understand what happened. Thank you, Mike Zafiriou, General Manager VW of Downtown Chicago. 847-477-3724

They had the vehicle I wanted but the experience was very sub par. They did nothing to earn my business except have the car I wanted. They refused to make me a 2nd key on an expensive vehicle and they backed More

I would really like the opportunity to figure out who you are and what happened and see what I can do on my end. I spoke with Syrell and he wasn't familiar with any customers that did not have a great experience. Please give me a call or text and just let me know what exactly happened. Thank you, Michael Zafiriou, GM 847-477-3724

Antino Brown, I want to apologize about your misunderstanding of the situation. We definitely NEVER damage a clients vehicle to have you use your warranty. That is silly to even propose. The coverage company, Ameriplus, chose to cover what they want to cover. We submit the claim with all supporting evidence for them to review. If it was outside influence due to physical damage they would not cover it. Now I understand that you may be upset that the car left on both occasions with a knocking sound to the engine that you chose to not repair and was obviously declined by the coverage company. I can supply both invoices that you signed stating that you are aware that the engine still has issues with knocking but you declined to repair. It sounds like there is rod knock from the number 4 cylinder and so If you choose to pass on it and the coverage does as well I cant proceed in fixing it. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Fred Borek Service Manager VW of downtown Chicago
