Terrible Service Department I bought a new 2016 Volkswagen GTI S 4dr. Overall, buying experience wasn't terrible and they were very flexible on trade allowance. I was overcharge I bought a new 2016 Volkswagen GTI S 4dr. Overall, buying experience wasn't terrible and they were very flexible on trade allowance. I was overcharged about $2800 on a mark up that I should have payed closer attention to in the buying process. But I was also under the assumption that I could trust a car dealership. Momentary lapse in judgement. My fault for not asking more questions. My real issue: After the sale is final and you are no longer profitable to them, forget about getting easy help. The service department drilled through the tag bracket into my front bumper for the temporary tag and the holes would not line up with the permanent tag. I refused to drill two more unneccessary holes in a brand new car. This is common, I know, but I am paying a lot of money for this car. So yes, I'm going to be picky when it comes to carelessness. Talked to a tech and he gave me screws that would not pierce the bumper. Why were these not used in the first place? After an argument in the showroom with the Sales manager, because he "did not see what the problem was" and "couldn't do anything to help me" he agreed to have the bumper repaired. All holes, including the tag bracket holes and I will mount the tag myself. Thank you, Sir. Dropped the car off on Tuesday June 28, 2016. And picked up a loaner. LOANER: DISGUSTING INSIDE. THE CAR HAD OBVIOUSLY NOT BEEN CLEANED. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I FOUND THE RENTAL AGREEMENT FROM THE PREVIOUS CUSTOMER IN THE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE RADIO. Sorry, Sallie from Portsmouth, but since Casey Volkswagen cares nothing about you or anyone else as a customer, I now know your full name, address, phone number, birthdate, driver's license number, and insurance information. I turned in your agreement to Mike, the sales manager, and he shredded it. 2 Days after dropping the car off, I got a call saying that the work could not be done on my bumper for another week because the only guy that can fix it is gone until July 5th. And I needed to drop off the loaner and pick up my car, only to return it in 5 days. I told them to keep my car until the job was finished (simply because I don't trust a word they are saying at this point and I don't believe that the job can't be done) Then they began telling me how much this was going to cost the dealership as if I am making an unreasonable request. Also informed me that I could speak to the General Manager about the return of the loaner. THE GENERAL MANAGER CALLED ME AND IT WAS AN IMMEDIATE ARGUMENT. I forgot his name so lets call him "His Highness." Since that is the only accurate description of his attitude and condescending tone from the minute I answered the phone. So, "His Highness, the King General Manager" threatened to report me as an unauthorized user of the loaner vehicle and forcefully take the car back, which was a reasonable course of action but also the first resort after no attempt to see things from any point of view but his own. I will admit, I was a little rude and have been through this whole process. But I do have a clue on how this should work and it should not be anywhere near as difficult as it has been. Its easy to see that THIS DEALERSHIP IS ABOUT PROFITS AND PROFITS ONLY. If they make a mistake, its like pulling teeth to get them to fix it. Although I now have a guarantee that the work will get done, how can I trust them to do the job right? They're already reluctant to provide decent customer service or, in the GM's case, even talk to me like I am a person. As far as Casey Volkswagen is concerned, they made their money and now they just want me to go away. It took 2 DAYS for them to look at a bumper. And the only excuse for the time wasted was that they need the GM to approve the repairs and he was unavailable the whole time. (Apparently phones are obsolete with that guy until you refuse to return his car.) I understand a high volume, dealership bodyshop is busy. But if this is the case, why do you schedule appointments? Bumper repairs are the most common repair in the auto body industry, how do you only have one person able to fix this one?

He One of the primary reasons I stay with Casey Subaru is John Reese, my service consultant. He is thorough, knowledgeable, competent and friendly. He sees me through from arrival to departure, and patiently addresses any concerns I have. Even though there is a closer dealership, I plan to continue to take my current, and future, Subaru to Casey in Newport News. P.S. Amir Wallace is my super salesperson. Kudos, also, to the service technicians. More

30K - Stay Away I bought a 2014 Jetta TDI from Casey a few months ago. It had 23,000 miles on it. Since it was traded with 18K on it, I brought it back at 28K for I bought a 2014 Jetta TDI from Casey a few months ago. It had 23,000 miles on it. Since it was traded with 18K on it, I brought it back at 28K for the 10K oil change. Just last Saturday I brought it in for the 30K service. I also asked that the check-up include a wheel alignment and balance. While eating my breakfast at a nearby resturant, Mike called to advise me that the Mechanic said my fuel and cabin filters needed changing ($200). Later I was advised that the fuel filter is required to be changed at 20K mile intervals. / When I paid and picked up the car, I realized that the alignment was horable (pulled right BAD). I returned immediately and after another hour Mike advised me that his Master Mechanic had realigned it and it Now would go straight.(steering wheel is still 5 degrees left while car goes straight). / However my main concern is my charge for the fuel filter, which should have been changed Before my purchase, since I bought it after the 20K "certified" service that apparently never occured. That was the understanding I had at purchase and the bases of the extended warranty. Why should I pay for a filter change that should have been done already? More

I have been to other service departments and I will return to Casey's due to the honesty and quality of work done on my vehicle, if something is wrong they talk it thru with me and there is always a pl return to Casey's due to the honesty and quality of work done on my vehicle, if something is wrong they talk it thru with me and there is always a plan of care for up coming maintenance . I drive approximately an hour one way to get to their service dept. I made the mistake of taking my car to a dealer that was closer to home and the work done to my car was done poorly and it took two trips to get the work done correctly. I have never had a bad experience at Casey's, it is worth the drive to me. Jennifer Buckner More
I should start by saying that this was my first time at the Casey Subaru dealership. After having a 15,000 mile service done on my 2013 Subaru Outback, it was brought to our attention that they had left an the Casey Subaru dealership. After having a 15,000 mile service done on my 2013 Subaru Outback, it was brought to our attention that they had left an oil filter wrench found on top of our radiator and we had been driving around with it for a week. We were astounded to find that they left a tool under our hood. I called to speak to someone and they suggested that I speak to Ed Colton, the service manager. She informed me that Ed said that he would call be back in a few minutes. I have never heard back from him and it's been over a week, I called back 2 other times and have been given the run around. I found the customer service to be severely lacking and that they take absolutely no care or pride in taking care of their customers. It also took an extremely lengthy amount of time to pick up our car and to pay, I should mention that it was not busy. While Warren was very friendly, it does not come close to making a difference in my overall impression. I will never return to Casey Subaru due to the lack of professionalism exhibited from Ed Colton. I found this to be the worst customer service experience that I've ever had at a dealership. More
