Volkswagen of South Miami - Service Center

I was hoping my review would improve since I last reviewed South Motors Volkswagen but unfortunately they have not fixed the issue with my 2021 VW Tiguan and have been waiting for Alex Robles, Servic reviewed South Motors Volkswagen but unfortunately they have not fixed the issue with my 2021 VW Tiguan and have been waiting for Alex Robles, Service Manager to assist me since last week. My car has been in the dealer for the same issue, check light on and oil problems at 3,983, 7,477, 10,856 15,280, 16,292, 18,475, 19,109 and 20,926 the last five times it has been on a monthly basis, this occurs every 600 to 800 driven miles. Can't drive car out of town, I cant take time off from work anymore to sit in the dealer for hours and getting a loaner is like pulling teeth. Unfortunately, I need to continue driving this lemon because it is my only means of communications so I hope it will not leave me stranded or the engine ruined or damaged. It is sad that the service department is so bad at this dealer. I regret changing from an Infiniti to VW, the service at South Infiniti was the best experience I've ever encounter with a dealer. I guess it is time to contact the Better Business Bureau, file a complaint with Department of Highway Safety Motor Vehicle and email Johnathan Chariff, CEO. I am confident that contacting these three entities/individuals will help me resolve my problem. Alex Robles, has been alerted of the problem so it is on him should something happen to the car. More

This is the worst dealer in South Florida. I’ve taken my VW Tiguan in numerous times for oil leaks and they don’t seem to fix it or care. I’ve called Alex Robles, service manager, numerous tim I’ve taken my VW Tiguan in numerous times for oil leaks and they don’t seem to fix it or care. I’ve called Alex Robles, service manager, numerous times and he has yet to return my call. I am now researching the lemon law to see if it’s applicable to my case. More

My car was towed from the Florida Keys up to South Motors Volkswagen. They charged me $1,400 to replace the ignition in my car. I called almost on a daily basis to get an update on my car for two months and Volkswagen. They charged me $1,400 to replace the ignition in my car. I called almost on a daily basis to get an update on my car for two months and not once did anybody return my call. When I finally was able to speak with my service advisor Mike who would not call me back the entire time, he informed me that my car was ready to be picked up. Someone should have called me to let me know that. When I went to pick my car up I didn't make it 20 minutes down the road before I was pulled over by a police officer and nearly arrested because the license plate had been taken off my car. I know for a fact that my car had a license plate on it when I sent it up there. Both the dealership and the tow truck company swear there was never a tag on the car. South Motors Volkswagen is an organization of scam artists. Do not go here unless you want to be extremely overcharged and blown off. More

If you have the chance to go to another dealership. DO IT! My leased car is having manufacturer issues and it is still covered under the warranty. Yet Mike Benitez (tech who works the service departme IT! My leased car is having manufacturer issues and it is still covered under the warranty. Yet Mike Benitez (tech who works the service department) tells me they will not diagnose the issue unless I pay $200.00. Not only is their staff not properly trained but they are abusing customers. A leased car should be the dealerships responsibility. Because at the end of the day this is not my car. Its theirs, I'm simply borrowing it. I called yesterday and I clearly asked the lady who answered if I was covered for this and wouldn't have to pay anything and she said I did not. I drove all the way from downtown Miami to almost Florida city for this to hear this disturbing news that in order for them to see what is wrong with their car. I have to pay $200.00, how is this reasonable?! Mike went on to tell me that they had to pay the mechanic to diagnose the car. And this is why they needed to charge me. Apparently they dont pay their staff?! Bottom line, the car has warranty by law, yet the diagnosis is not covered?! I replaced the light bulb and the issue persists which means that it's a bigger issue with their car engines. Not the light itself. This should be 100% covered by the dealership. I also pay every single month for wear and tare. They should treat their customers with more respect. This is my 7th year with VW. I always spoke highly about their cars. However, I'm not sure if I will continue doing business with this company. More

Horrible service. I will never take my car there again. I was told it would take a couple of hours to get my car fixed and it took 3 days. I had to keep calling for the representative to give me updates on m was told it would take a couple of hours to get my car fixed and it took 3 days. I had to keep calling for the representative to give me updates on my car. He kept giving me excuses on why it wasn't ready. I just wanted a straight answer. After leaving the dealer, a light went on because the tire pressure was low. Very upsetting experience. More

I just can’t understand how bad their service is! I never write a review unless its something extremely good or bad. Well this place its the worse place ever! and hopefully the owner of this place read th write a review unless its something extremely good or bad. Well this place its the worse place ever! and hopefully the owner of this place read this review and can do something for their own good. Our car since the beginning of the lease had an issue with the AC. It stops blowing cold air, again this is a brand new car ..., anyways so we took the car for service and they called us back 2 days later saying that the car was ready for pick up..... so we went back to pick up the car and a week later the same thing happened again. We have taking the car there 6 times for the same time. However we do understand that cars could come defect from the manufacture, but the lack of customer service provided by the Dealer ( South Motors VE) its very sad and disappointed! Very Rude! My wife even cried by the way that the service adviser talked to her, they have zero percent of customer service, they have a terrible attitude when talking to people its Unacceptable! I live in Cutler Bay and I rather to drive up to the store up north just so I dont have to deal with them ever again! Please yourself a headache and don’t go there!! More

Para mi es el peor servicio que he tenido, no conocen el producto, se demoraron mas de 2 meses para encontrar la falla del carro, y quieren cobrarle la falta de conocimiento al cliente. El gerente de servic producto, se demoraron mas de 2 meses para encontrar la falla del carro, y quieren cobrarle la falta de conocimiento al cliente. El gerente de servicios es un prepotente, sin tacto. No lo recomiendo para nada. Cero estrellas More

Oil change from xxxx . DO NOT SERVICE YOUR CAR HERE. On April 22nd i went in for an oil change. 1 hr and half later car is ready. I leave and and few miles away the engin . DO NOT SERVICE YOUR CAR HERE. On April 22nd i went in for an oil change. 1 hr and half later car is ready. I leave and and few miles away the engine light comes on. Later i go pick up my daughters from school and as I'm waiting the car starts acting crazy and accelerating by itself while parked. After leaving the school on our way to my daughters gym and my work i called the dealer and told them what was going on. I was told to the car back the next morning. I get home after work at 8:30 pm and see that the front of the car is covered in oil. I open the hood and there's oil everywhere, all over the engine and dripping from the side of the car. They FORGOT TO PUT THE OIL CAP ON!! I drove for more than 2 hrs in this car with my daughters inside, a car that could've gone up on flames. I called and of course they were closed. Called in the morning and was told to take the car in, what?? You want me to drive a car with no oil in it?? They ended up sending a tow truck that took 2 hrs. We get to the dealer, the service representative apologises and tells me they are going to clean the engine and do an inspection. 2 hrs later comes back says the car is ready. I went open the hood to check, its still cover in oil, it looked like they just cleaned it with paper towels. There was still oil all over the front, the windshield, everywhere. They take the car back again, clean it. 45 min later car is ready. While i was there the manager, Shawn, never came to apologize, instead he was too busy walking around the dealer with his Starbucks ice tea in hand. I left a white board under the car to check for any oil leaks, the next morning it was still leaking. I looked under the car, they didn't put the engine bottom shield on!! I called VW and opened a complaint against the dealer, they wouldn't even return the regional managers calls. Finally we get a call from Shawn saying to take the car back that they were going to put the shield on and do a complimentary detailing on the car. Took the car, got a loaned car, 3 days later get a call the car is ready. Went picked it up. Less than hour later i look in the front compartment and notice all our stuff is gone, registration, insurance, my daughters school pick up cards, EVERYTHING WE HAD IN THE CAR GONE. We called and they said there was nothing they could do other than to reimburse us for the cost of getting a copy of the registration, a whole $12. Now we don't know who has all our personal information and most importantly our daughters information. We went 5 times to these place to fix their mistakes, not once did a manager come to talk to us. I asked for a reimbursement of the service package we purchased (this was the first oil change since we bought the car), they denied that request. So now I would have to drive 1 hr to the dealer in Davie for service, because i definitely will not go back to this place. More
