AVOID AT ALL COSTS AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!! Seriously, I almost never say that but this place is the pits. Short version: A. They are either outright liars AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!! Seriously, I almost never say that but this place is the pits. Short version: A. They are either outright liars or totally ignorant of the details of their core business B. Their 'customer service ' is a total joke C. You'd be better off buying a car from some shady payday loan dude Longer version: Sold me a used car that I found online. Two different employees assured me I would not be responsible for paying sales tax in CA and CO. Bought the car and drove it back to CO where I was promptly told I was responsible for paying sales tax AGAIN. Called the online sales manger to rectify - no response. Called the General Manager for the store - no response. This place has no integrity, I highly recommend buying or leasing or servicing somewhere else. More
Scammed into a credit check with lies I went in to the dealership and was helped. I did a test drive and after a few rounds of negotiation settled on a buy price. I went in fully expec I went in to the dealership and was helped. I did a test drive and after a few rounds of negotiation settled on a buy price. I went in fully expecting to buy the Jetta. When I came in I was told to relinquish my social security number. I was required by law to provjide it since the value of the car was over $10k. What I didn't know is that their sales manager had gotten me to sign a credit check form. Shame on me for believing his lies, but I did expressly say multiple times I did NOT want or authorize a credit check. Now I've walked on a perfectly good car deal because I don't deal with liars.

2016 Passat gets 20 mpg. They ripped me off! Bought car 5/5/16. Noticed I'm filling tank far too often. Calculated fuel used ÷ mileage and came up with 19 mpg, 22 mpg and 20 mpg combined mpg on 3 Bought car 5/5/16. Noticed I'm filling tank far too often. Calculated fuel used ÷ mileage and came up with 19 mpg, 22 mpg and 20 mpg combined mpg on 3 tanks of gas! Car is supposed to get 29 mpg combined. It's not even close. I took it in twice to two VW dealerships (kearny mesa and city) both lied and told me car is getting 26 mpg and 27 mpg. It is not!!!! Management told me there's nothing they can do so I'm now working with the DA and a lemon law attorney. It's unbelievable a Passat gets gas mileage worse than just about any car on the market. I do not appreciate this extremely unprofessional response. VW is still trying to resolve the TDI problem and now a car that guzzles gas!!!! I strongly advice no one buy a Volkswagen! More
Great Full Service Dealership I had a check engine light on and scheduled an appointment. I dropped my 2015 GTI off at the over night drop and received a call in the morning. I con I had a check engine light on and scheduled an appointment. I dropped my 2015 GTI off at the over night drop and received a call in the morning. I confirmed the problem and they went to work. I was in the area that afternoon and stopped by. My car had a vacuum leak in the fuel system. They were unable to complete the repairs at the time I arrived to pick up my car, so they immediately gave me a 2016 loaner Passat. The following morning, repairs complete! I would have to say the service staff kept me well informed as well as a positive atmosphere in their department. Steve and the other service writers are always ready to jump in and help. On another note, about 3 hours after taking my car back from them, Steve Harveston gave me a call to see if everything was good with my car. I feel that this is well above the highest standard for customer service and gives the customer a peace of mind. More

The buying experience there was also top notch and I LOVE MY CAR!! More

Best car buying experience ever. We usually go the Costco route but we got an even better deal here without the hours-long haggling that often takes place. Francisco was except ever. We usually go the Costco route but we got an even better deal here without the hours-long haggling that often takes place. Francisco was exceptional - knowledgeable, friendly, just down to earth. I would not hesitate going back again. Great staff. We actually felt like they cared about our experience there. Plus we got a great deal on a new Jetta diesel. More
Professional and courteous and helpful In July I leased my second VW CC from VW Kearny Mesa. My experience at this dealership has always been exceptional. And it was no different during the In July I leased my second VW CC from VW Kearny Mesa. My experience at this dealership has always been exceptional. And it was no different during the selection of my new vehicle. Abe Santana was a pleasure to work with. He stayed late in the day to facilitate all aspects of the deal. He was helpful in transitioning from my older vehicle to the new one, and thoroughly explained the differences in potential vehicles and the options that were available. He was patient during the entire process and at no time did he apply any pressure for me to select any particular vehicle. He simply guided me to the right choice based on my circumstances. I would recommend Abe to anyone interested in a new vehicle from VW Kearny Mesa. He made the experience easy and comfortable. More

FOLLOW UP EVEN WITH THE PEOPLE YOU CANT GET FINANCED. As a person that works in marketing Dr's office's I know how important a return customer is and I also know that peoples lives can change at any momen As a person that works in marketing Dr's office's I know how important a return customer is and I also know that peoples lives can change at any moment . And when you don't follow through on all aspects of informing customers of where they stand weather you intend to or not you make the customer feel less then worthy of a final call. And don't make up a bunch of lies. Do what you say you can't and Don't make promises you can't keep. And there is no way anyone has that many legitimate evals. Read yelp its more informative. This is unreliable. More
