years now; I keep coming back because of their excellent customer service and their experience and certified VW trained service techs. Sure I can pay less elsewhere, but few places can keep my Jetta with 310k miles reliably and comfortably on the road like the service techs at Herman Cook VW. Eric Axford and his staff of advisors and techs are excellent craftsmen.

They do great work and are HONEST. The company is closed on Sundays for their employees to enjoy the day with their families. They are flexible (I needed to change my appointment time) and friendly. The location is great too because one can walk to restaurants and all types of businesses. My car is always clean and perfect. They get it done quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this dealership. When the time comes for a new car, I will only buy from Herman Cook because of the service department!
