Great Atlas and GREAT sales experience! I spent several months considering a new car for my family of five. After initially not knowing what I wanted and doing quite a bit of research and te I spent several months considering a new car for my family of five. After initially not knowing what I wanted and doing quite a bit of research and test driving, I was able to narrow it down to the VW Atlas. In spite of knowing what I now wanted, it was also important to me to get the specific trim and package details I wanted and at a price that was good for my family's budget. Fortunately, I began working with Juan Amaro in the early stages of my search. He was immensely patient with me as a considered multiple car options and allowed me to test drive numerous times, including a time with my full family (with 3 children 5 and under). He walked me through the trim packages and helped me find the car I wanted. When they did not have the exact configuration in stock, he worked with his amazing sales manager, Pedro Gallardo, to find one for me. I spent a couple of months determining if and when I was ready to purchase the car, and during that time I never felt any pressure to buy or to make a decision I wasn't ready for. Simultaneously, when I was ready to finally commit to making a deal, Juan worked closely with Pedro to get me a very good deal and get the car I wanted within just two days. He maintained excellent communication with me, provided me with direct information on price and purchase details, and never made me feel as though I had to make a decision I wasn't happy with. The entire negotiation process felt extremely above-board, and I was able to walk away with a car I love while feeling like I made an excellent deal. Beyond that, I felt really pleased with the car purchasing experience. It had none of the sales-pressure, icky-feeling that often comes with this process. To the contrary, Juan went out of his way to be available before and after hours and to champion all of my requests. I could not speak more highly of Juan or of Pedro in this process. After buying other cars and going to another VW dealer to negotiate, I can absolutely say this was the best sales experience I have ever had. I am grateful for my experience and would recommend Charles Maund VW, and Juan Amaro without any hesitation. If you are even considering a VW, please go here and make sure to ask for Juan. More
