This van has been subject to numerous recalls on the Chrysler side but Volkswagon has been slow to do anything to rescue the tens of thousand people that own this lemon. My daughters Routon refused to start numerous times leaving her stranded with three young children. One child is 7 months old another 5 years old and another 6 years old. The 6 year old child is special needs having been born with Spina Bifida, Downs Syndrome and a clubbed foot. This has financially drained my daughter who now can't work because of the care this child requires. The van finally was dead in the driveway and had to be towed to Volkswagon of Orland Park. My daughter already researched the problem and found that theses vans were equipped with a faulty brain computer module called a TIMPM MODULE. Two days later the van was diagnosed with that problem. My daughter was quoted $1200 to do the job. Do to snafus in the dealers end, not getting the needed parts it too 6 days to complete the service. The service department called my daughter and told her the cost was $1365.00 it was over the estimate. My daughter was never notified as to the increased cost. I called the service manager Ed to get an explanation and to attempt to get the costs lowered. I explained my daughters situation financially and told him about the major recall that Chrysler did on all the same vans under their name. He said he knew the part was severely flawed and he said he heard Volkswagon was eventually going to issue a recall. I asked that in the mean time could he reduce the price. I explained my daughters situation while he listened seeming sympathetic. He told me he would look at the bill and try to reduce the costs to help her. He said he would call me back. Hours later no phone call. My daughter proceeded to pick up her van and was charged the inflated price of $1365. Parts not ordered correctly inept service department and untrained employees that did not know how to drive brought the van out to her, made this a very costly nightmare. This is something that Volkswagon should be responsible for, not the thousands of poor owners that suffer financially because of this lemon of a vechicle. No call back not even a courtesy call to tell me he couldn't reduce the price is an insult to me and my daughter. Don't ever by a Volkswagon from this dealer and above all don't ever get it serviced their if you have the misfortune of owning a flawed lemon Volkwagon Routon. No help no call no heart. More
Terrible Consumer experience with manager Bruce Phillips We've been receiving new incentive e mail notifications from Orland Park VW.

We went to the dealership and test drove a 2014 Tiguan, and the experience with the sales lady was excellent until Bruce came out to check our trade in car. We went to the dealership with two cars and both of them were mercedes. Bruce comes out to the parking lot and goes to the 1999 CL500, and right away points out the scratch on the bumber, and as we told him that that was not the trade in car and he goes to the 2000 E430 and says this is worst than the other one and without even getting inside the car ha say this would worth couple hundred dollars. We were shocked by the unprofessionalism by this General manager. I'm really surprised that VW treats it's customers with disrespect. We ended up going to the next door and purchased 2016 Mazda CX3. Shame on you Bruce Phillips. More
No pressure, no games I purchased my 2015 VW Jetta Sport from VW of Orland Park. Eddie Bilo was my salesperson. At no point throughout the entire process did I feel like I purchased my 2015 VW Jetta Sport from VW of Orland Park. Eddie Bilo was my salesperson. At no point throughout the entire process did I feel like I was being schemed, sold, or pressured. Eddie was informative, courteous, and forthcoming. He did not try to hide anything, and was remarkably patient with me as I scoured the many options that VW of Orland Park had to provide. Once I had made a decision, Eddie took the utmost care to ensure that I would leave satisfied. When Eddie saw a small dent on the body of the car I liked, he immediately called me, found a brand new - but same model/trim - alternative, and invited me in to drive and inspect the new option. When it came down to punching numbers, there were no hidden or elevated fees, no pressure to buy extended warrantees or add-ons, and no BS. I was very pleased with my experience. More
The best car buying experience I've ever had This was the best car buying experience I've ever had.

Prior to my purchase, I'd been shopping around for quite a while to find the car that I wanted. They had the best price under invoice and actually had the car that I wanted. There was another VW dealership closer to my house that tried to convince me to put a down payment on a car they didn't have LOL. The overall buying experience was very low pressure and everyone there was personable and easy to work with. More
THIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL STEAL FROM YOU!!! First off, my brand new vehicle that I bought from VW of Orland has been in the shop 10 times since new and only has 33 k miles on it. My most rece First off, my brand new vehicle that I bought from VW of Orland has been in the shop 10 times since new and only has 33 k miles on it. My most recent interaction with the service department was regarding a grinding noise from the front of the vehicle. Dropped the vehicle off to have it checked and got a call back from the service writer saying that both of my rear wheels are bent. I told them that this was hard to believe and wanted to see it for myself. When I arrived, it so happened that the owner and the service director was there. I told them of my concern and we put the vehicle on a lift with one of the techs. Low and behold...the rims were not bent Hence they attempted to screw me out of 500 to "bend them back". I also was told that my vehicle was out of alignment and that my tires were abnormally worn. When I asked why, the tech said that "cars with 4 wheel independent suspensions will settle and go out of alignment even if you don't hit anything" And that "German cars are expensive to maintain". Both of which I find to be something that no one in their right mind would sign up for if even true at all. So I called a few tire shops and suspension shops and they all said that a vehicle with this low of mileage should not have an alignment problem this early on unless there was a significant impact. I've never hit anything with this vehicle. Lastly I found out on this trip that every 40k miles, I will have to spend between 1500 and 2000 just to maintain the vehicle as this has the DSG transmission along with the other items they try to get you for (spark plugs, filters of all sorts, computer scan???, oil change, transmission service, etc). After all of this, I had a long talk with the owner of the dealership who sits on some board for VW. He said that the VW service interval for tire rotations is flawed and that it should be done more frequently than 10k miles and probably attributed to the tire wear issue and ruined my tires. My next step was VW corporate who essentially turned their back on me. They sided with the dealer and supported their decision and did not even address the fact that the service department tried to steal from me. This is the face / representative of VW and they support stealing from their customers?????. Bad business all the way around. This is the kind of experience that can destroy a brand. BUYER BEWARE!!! DO NOT BUY THESE GARBAGE VEHICLES FROM AN UNSCRUPULOUS COMPANY...BOTH VW AND VW OF ORLAND PARK!!!! I will tell everyone I know or meet about this terrible experience and that VW does not care about their customers. More

We were looking for her fi I had never owned or even driven a Volkswagen but my granddaughter was very interested in checking out some VW used cars. We were looking for her first car. She needed something reliable but wanted something that she would also be comfortable in, which meant leather seats; and of course that perfect car had to be just the right price. We arrived at VW of Orland Park and met Eddie Bilo while we were checking out the used cars. Immediately Eddie put us at ease with his friendly manner and answered our many questions. It didn't take long before we found that perfect car at a cost we could afford. While we waited for the paper work and the car to be washed we enjoyed some good conversation with Eddie and other friendly employees. My granddaughter loves her new used Volkswagen. Thanks for a great first time experience. More

3rd time, still a charm at VW of Orland Park I'm admittedly a car guy and I've bought and sold a lot of vehicles. Got our first VW a few years ago and a few months later bought another. The veh I'm admittedly a car guy and I've bought and sold a lot of vehicles. Got our first VW a few years ago and a few months later bought another. The vehicles have been great. Fast forward two years and another kid and our Tiguan wasn't quite as big as we would have liked. Worked out a deal to buy our third VW from Volkswagen of Orland Park, from the same salesperson as well (thanks Kamila)! Deal was easy to work, despite the fact I was on vacation in Europe. Each of the three vehicles was just as easy to buy as the first. Up front and honest about the transactions make this dealership a place to return to for me. The staff is inviting and friendly, even if you are working with a different salesperson. We were greeted by a friendly smile who let us know that "Kamila was inside and very excited to see us". Paperwork was fast and the car was perfect. I look forward to more VW purchases at VW of Orland Park. More
