Keep a look out for significant additional fees or charges they dont disclose until your credit is checked and you are with finance. In my case i was going to pick up the vehicle coming out of state w charges they dont disclose until your credit is checked and you are with finance. In my case i was going to pick up the vehicle coming out of state which i have clearly mentioned yet they did not disclose these details as you may back out. The interion of the car was not clean underneath the seats so they cleaning was not thorough either More

I would avoid at all costs. I called to confirm pricing before driving to the dealership and was told they would honor the Cars.com cheaper listed price versus their website. I I called to confirm pricing before driving to the dealership and was told they would honor the Cars.com cheaper listed price versus their website. I was later hung up on while trying to figure out why the price is $5,000 higher than the online listing without tax. Once there they would not honor Cars,com price until Joe the manager got involved who was helpful. After negotiating the price for hours which was filled with small print and hidden charges (a $1995 payment, $695 dealer prep fee $900 reconditioning fee and another ~$300 in dealer processing fees) they tried to sneak all the money back in at the end and claimed they made a mistake and forgot to remove the down payment. At the financing stage a rude manager knowingly lied to me multiple times stating the loan isn't amortized interest because it's a "simple interest loan" and that longer term loans are lower interest rates and forced us into a 72 month term for a higher kickback to the dealership. Tried to say he can't run the numbers again for a 60 month term because it will hurt our credit knowing that hits are compiled into one inquiry within a specific time frame. After all this he also tried to force a extended warranty and continued to state WE are wasting his time..... More

Where to start? Not at Volkswagen of West Islip. Do not purchase a vehicle from this dealership. They are not honest and not kind. So it has been 5 months since Not at Volkswagen of West Islip. Do not purchase a vehicle from this dealership. They are not honest and not kind. So it has been 5 months since I have bought my Jeep from Volkswagen and if I could do it again, I would never do it. I have yet to receive my key fob that I should have gotten before I drove the car off the lot. I do not have a key to enter my vehicle and any time I ask for it, my request has been ignored. I already need new tires, (which the car could have used before I bought it) and the oil change that I was promised would be paid for has been paid for by me, out of pocket. When I first arrived at VW, I was brought into the office and told I was VIP. What a crock of...I do not, and have never felt like VIP. The thing is, I should have known better than when I first came in and the car that they had listed wasn't on their lot, but I stayed anyway. It only got worse from there. The salesperson who I dealt with, let's calle him David, said all the right things, but it was all xx. After I purchased the vehicle and driving off the lot, the car would not go into drive not once but multiple times and I was almost stranded at work at midnight on the night that I drove the car off the lot. The sales team was less than responsive (thank goodness for their service reps). It stayed in service for a week and while I was grateful for a loaner car, this was not the car I came in to purchase. David also let me know that since I wasn't able to negotiate the price of the vehicle that he would pay for my oil changes. And then, instead of actually following through on this, he does not respond and then gaslights me into thinking I am wrong for asking what I paid for. Save your time and your money and go somewhere that does not treat their customers like absolute garbage. I would like my key fab for my car and do not feel as if I should have to drive to the dealership to get it. I would also like my oil changes paid for as promised, but that does not look like its going to happen either. I have never met people with less integrity than the salespeople of Volkswagen. Go elsewhere. Go anywhere else More

Terrible experience at VW of West Islip! !! I rated a 2 star because the salesman Greg tried to lead us in the right direction- I think. . The finance dept did all they could to trick my s !! I rated a 2 star because the salesman Greg tried to lead us in the right direction- I think. . The finance dept did all they could to trick my son and us into paying more at lease signing $6100 vs the around $3k mentioned when we were first looking at the car to lease. My son decided to return the car because he felt like he was being robbed At that point they change the fees to $4k so they wouldn’t lose the deal. This was after my husband got very upset. It took at least 2 hours of very confusing number playing. They left overwhelmed but confident that all was straighten out. My husband asked for a paper invoice they said no we email, even though the day before they had a paper one. When they got home we looked at email. I realized that they changed the original agreed seller price from approximately $37,500 to $40,360 which is more than the MSRP. We also noticed that we paid part of the lease + taxes for a 0 down transaction. I called and a left message to rectify this with John or Sean in finance. No one has called me back. We felt so stressed over this. My son’s first experience or lesson of a car dealership deceiving, and lying to close a deal. More

I've been to dealerships over my The staff are professional, respectful, polite. I will never ever go anywhere else when in the market for a car. I've been to dealerships over my years and it was so great to find this one, where I was treated like a valued person and customer. Salesperson Pablo is amazing. He listened to me, knew what I was looking for, and found the car that I wanted that I thought was best for me. He answered all my questions completely. Sean was equally amazing. He explained everything and answered my questions. He was polite, professional, and patient. More
