Here's a more concise version that still says everything you want to say and puts the spotlight where it belongs: on Cole and Peter.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Before scheduling my appointment, I read several reviews about Ciocca Volkswagen, and honestly, I was a little hesitant. After my experience, I felt it was important to share a different perspective because it was nothing like I expected.
Ciocca is about an hour from my home and isn't the closest Volkswagen dealership to me. I only scheduled my appointment there because they had the earliest availability. I'm genuinely glad I did.
From the moment I arrived, I was treated with professionalism, courtesy, and respect. My service advisor, Cole, was exceptional. He listened to every concern I had, kept me informed throughout the day, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood exactly what was happening with my vehicle. As someone who has worked as a technician, service advisor, and service manager, I know how demanding that job can be. Cole handled everything the way I believe great customer service should be handled, and he earned my trust.
I also want to recognize Peter in sales. I wasn't there to buy a vehicle, but while I was waiting, he went out of his way to spend time with my two-year-old daughter, Giada, and help keep her entertained. That wasn't his responsibility, but it made a long day much easier for both of us. Small acts of kindness like that leave a lasting impression.
I do have a few suggestions, but none of them reflect on Cole or Peter. During my appointment confirmation call, I felt like it was unusual that I planned to wait for the repair. I knew it would take most of the day because of warranty approvals and the work involved, and I was perfectly happy to wait if it meant the repair was done correctly. I would also love to see loaner vehicles offered for longer repairs, along with complimentary vehicle washes after service. The waiting area could use a little attention as well. One of the benches appeared to be broken, and I noticed some expired snacks in the vending machine, which I know is likely managed by a third-party vendor.
Those are all minor improvements. What mattered most was how I was treated, and the people at Ciocca exceeded my expectations.
I originally chose Ciocca because they had the first available appointment. I'll continue making the hour drive because of the people. Even though there are Volkswagen dealerships much closer to my home, Cole's professionalism and Peter's kindness earned my trust and my future business. I sincerely hope they receive the recognition they deserve because employees like them are the reason customers come back.
