Car buying experience. I spoke to the individuals there about purchasing a vehicle they advertised. I contacted them (through text messaging) and they promptly responded. Th I spoke to the individuals there about purchasing a vehicle they advertised. I contacted them (through text messaging) and they promptly responded. They answered all the questions I had and it didn’t matter the time (Sometimes after closing). I opted to finance a portion of the vehicle through my personal financial institution and provide a down payment. The insisted on running my credit. I would have gladly provided the information if I chose to finance through them. I provided them copies of my current drivers license and insurance and placed a down payment to hold the car while they mailed me the paperwork. They attempted to get my social by having me fill out a financing application and failed, because I put all 1s. Theu states that they wanted to verify my identity, it was standard if I didn’t come in, and since they were shipping the car to me they needed my social. They didn’t stop there, I spoke to two different individuals and explained why I didn’t want to give them my social security number. I already had my credit run by a dealership I dealt with a couple weeks prior and didn’t want several inquiries lowering my score. I felt as though they went out of there way to try to attain personal information that they didn’t have the right having. I would not purchase another vehicle here because of my experience. Maybe it would have been different in person. More
Professional and patience We went to the dealer to look for a Beetle and Tony introduced Jesse to take care of us.

He kindly showed us the different Beetles they have in the premises. After comparing features I was interested in the Coast trim Beetle so we took Jesse with us for a test drive. The Coast quickly captured my heart and we discussed finance and eventually met Omar to complete the transaction. It was smooth and everyone works there were happy and friendly. We noticed the central panel was loose and some paint came off the front. They told us to bring the car back during the week and would take care of those for us. So far, the experience has been satisfying. More

Thank You Two months ago I bought a Jetta from this dealership. I absolutely loved the car and I loved this service that I got. One week ago someone ran a stop Two months ago I bought a Jetta from this dealership. I absolutely loved the car and I loved this service that I got. One week ago someone ran a stop sign and totaled my vehicle. First I want to say I know the only reason I was not injured is because of the quality of the vehicle. Second I have to say I was even more impressed by the team at this dealership because when they found out what happened to me and to my car they went out of their way to help me to get a new car fast. I was a little picky in what I wanted in my new car and they exceeded my expectations. It kind of left me speechless. This team has some great people. One of the things that stands out in my mind is that these people are actually happy people and they really did seem to care. The general manager, the finance manager, the sales rep and the service department manager are all top notch in my book. I can’t thank you enough. More

The worst customer service of any dealership I have visited Ok just going to do a quick summary of how it went down. Saw a used car I was considering, went first just to check it out. Did some negotiating b Ok just going to do a quick summary of how it went down. Saw a used car I was considering, went first just to check it out. Did some negotiating but wanted to do a better search in the area. Came back after the manager emailed me a bunch about going to the lower value requested. 2nd visit basically took 3 hrs to verify that amount...... really bad sales approach since the time felt really wasted. had a 2012 car with low mileage basically 60k, and within 3 weeks engine broken and they dealership expects me to learn my lesson from this.....
