Hello Gareinhart, Ia really sorry to hear this. I want to personally look into what happened and waiting weeks for an update and not receiving calls back as promised is simply not acceptable. Please give me a call or text so I can better understand what happened. Thank you, Mike Zafiriou, General Manager VW of Downtown Chicago. 847-477-3724
Avoid This Dealership – Dishonest, Unreliable, and
Unprofessional

Unprofessional
I bought a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle here expecting reliability. Two weeks later, the transmission failed. The car spent three weeks in repairs. Overcharged & Delayed Refunds – They overcharged me $100 for a loaner. After weeks of chasing them down, they processed a refund—but never sent it. I had to go in person, only to find out they were holding my money over a petty $5 dispute. Bait-and-Switch Pricing – They quoted $250 for a spare key, then later claimed it was $500. Zero Accountability – Instead of fixing their mistakes, they stonewalled, delayed, and nickel-and-dimed me. Untrustworthy, unprofessional, and not worth the hassle. If you're considering buying here, Don't. There are better VW dealerships that actually stand behind their word.

Luis always kept me updated about my car.

like the quality of customer service/service department has been the same - it has been much lower. I am not sure they have my loyalty or trust anymore. I have never purchased a VW from any other dealer in the past including my current car but not sure that I will continue based on my last interaction with the dealer and Alonzo. Yes I got new wipers but the quote I got I had to ask why a part they replaced in October but included in the estimate. I continue to feel that if I don’t follow-up they will charge me for stuff I don’t need. The service has gone downhill and they should also invest in a copier that works so when I get my estimate I can actually read it. Manager was to call me back after my last survey and that has yet to occur. They either want my business or don’t- all indications are that they do not want my business and that I should look elsewhere for my next VW.
