I have nothing good to say about Fran, I dragged my family 50 miles one way and took a half day vacation from work to go see a car that didnt exist. It was not a honest mistake it was a classic bait and switch. Pathetic. No class what so ever.

Due to personal circumstances, getting a car was not in my plans but suddenly became a top priority. Fortunately I was able to work with Ryan Truitt and my experience was beyond expectations. Ryan is a great salesperson, he is knowledgeable about the products, but most importantly, he listened to my needs and wants and I walked out with a wonderful car.

The employees at the dealership are always very professional and willing to help. Great dealership experience. I have been to many dealerships over the years this is right at the top.

Over several visits to the dealership and changing priorities betweenmy wife and I as we considered multiple models and brands, Dan was extremely helpful. Never pushy, he would plainly lay out the tradeoffs among each VW vehicle without unnecessarily bashing the competition. The experience really stood in stark contrast to what my wife and I expected. Overall, I really enjoyed buying in a low pressure, informative environment and would gladly purchase from them again.

My mother had purchased from Garnet and from Jordan in the past, and had a great experience, so I made it a point to return when my fiance and I needed a car. We got a quote from a dealer in NYC where we live, and I called Jordan to see if he could beat it, which he did. The car buying experience with Garnet and Jordan was incredibly simple and the whole team worked with us to ensure the credit approval process and registration in New Jersey went as smoothly as possible. I'd send anyone looking for a new car to Garnet and to Jordan.

Stopped in unannounced AFTER they had closed (8:53 pm to be exact) and Andy Scheffler the finance manager happened to be there and he graciously showed the car we'd seen on the internet - let us drive it around the parking lot and poke,prod and kick the tires etc. No high pressure tactics just resonable discussion and when we decided to purchase the car he introduced us to Ryan Truitt who was extremely helpful (and gracious) showing the features of the vehicle and locating all the bits and pieces ie: owner's manual, maintainance records and the carfax report. We were treated very courteously by everyone we encountered there (including the receptionist)even though for a second time we kept them after hours (had to pick up the car in the evening and we live 2 hours away.

I discovered Garnet VW from a Jetta Sportwagen posting on auto trader.com

I had never before purchased a car sight unseen and decided to take the plunge. As a Canadian, this meant taking a flight from Buffalo NY to Philadelphia and ultimately driving back 10 hours.

There was a slight glitch to the sale in that we committed with a deposit but the dealer had not actually received clear title from the State.

Luckily my Salesman was Daniel Stangl whose communication was excellent not to mention hospitality. Daniel picked us up from the Philly airport and took us straight to our favorite restaurant before arriving at the dealership.

When Daniel finally presented the actual car, it was exactly as presented over the phone.

We did discover a small cut in the upholstery but luckily it was on the back seat pocket. Also, when we actually test drove the car, I inquired about the alignment which appeared to be slightly off. Apparently the service dep't had done an alignment. On the way home we took it to Firestone and confirmed it was not aligned. Based on this lack of alignment issue, I gave only 3 stars to Quality of Work in my review.

I also asked Daniel about the missing spare key fob. Since the dealer was not able to retrieve it from the original owner, he ordered and sent us a brand new one!

Garnet VW is a really nice.new concept, modern, friendly, dealership located in a beautiful area. Even the girl in the business office was great (nice). All the paperwork was ready, organized and well prepared.

I never really thought about it until this last paragraph but this was probably the nicest car buying experience in my lifetime!

Daniel even sent a cute VW hat for my girlfriend along with my keys!

So, thank you Garnet. THANK YOU DANIEL.

Anyone thinking of buying from Garnet VW, call DANIEL STANGL--- He's the man!

Good experience. Mr. Tran is very nice and patient. Although I finally chose Acura instead of VW, I would recommend this dealership and Mr. Tran.

I have gone to other dealerships and they appeared to not be interested in telling me reasons I should buy the car and the features that I would like. At Garnet VW, I went for a test drive with the salesman and through the whole ride he told me about the great things VW has to offer and why I would be happy with the car. If I was unsure at all about the kind of car I wanted to get this definitely sealed the deal for me. Jeff, was so knowledgeable and could answer everyone of my questions. I already recommended everyone that I know interested in buying a new car to go to that dealership. Also, the showroom was very nice and it had a very friendly atmosphere full of VW pride. that was exactly what I would want to see walking into any dealership.

In my third experience with Garnet and second with Jordan, it was as good an experience as one could hope for.

The car and the dealership are great..... Jordan's the best. He is a nice balance of: professional, knowledgeable, friendly, extremely helpful, and NOT salesy.
