City Volkswagen of Evanston

Good Service, But Unwanted Charges I'd still recommend Autobarn to any VW owner since I've had very good experiences in the past. I recently had my transmission fluid, coolant, and oil I'd still recommend Autobarn to any VW owner since I've had very good experiences in the past. I recently had my transmission fluid, coolant, and oil changed but was very disappointed to see $80 worth of extra charges for a tire rotation and windshield wiper replacement on the bill. My previous visit I was blown away by the honesty of the service staff, but this really feels like a setback. I'll come back but will watch my bill like a hawk next time. I have no complaints with the service itself. More

Oil Change and Door Fix I had to get an annual oil change and had to get my door fixed.

Terrance went out of his way to make sure I knew what was covered in my warranty and how I could get everything done in a timely manner. I got my oil change the same day, but had to get the part for the door fix ordered. He messaged me as soon as it came in and scheduled an appointment to get me in. He also made sure to keep me updated throughout the entire process. I appreciate Terrance's efforts and help. More

Also promotional materials are displayed that are outdated, not helpful. More

Buying a car can be stressful, but I’m thankful I was in the hands of Ricky and Lewis. Both were very friendly, not pushy, and super helpful.

Outrageous experience I took my car towed to service because I had a problem with the power steering. I got a quote for almost 9 thousand dollars, for replacing alternator, I took my car towed to service because I had a problem with the power steering. I got a quote for almost 9 thousand dollars, for replacing alternator, battery, water pump, vacuum pump and a few other things. The recommendation was to throw my car away and buy a new one, because my car was worth less than that. Next day I got an email saying that if I was selling my car, I could be put in contact with someone that maybe was interested in buying it (I guess for pennies). I took my car to a different mechanic, and after checking it, he found nothing. NOTHING! The car is running again. Alternator/pulley is charging the battery at its normal amperage, the battery is good, etc. I did not pay a single dollar for parts. This was an outrageous experience. I will never go back to service my car there. More

Took the fun our of car buying Heard the GM through the wall in the room next door talking down to the sales rep. Made a bad impression on me and I almost left then, thinking why wo Heard the GM through the wall in the room next door talking down to the sales rep. Made a bad impression on me and I almost left then, thinking why would I give my money to someone like that. High pressure and confusing pitch to try to get me to purchase an extended warranty from the "generous owner". Never received a copy of the service that was done on the car at the dealership. Once purchase was complete, no one came into the car with me to explain how anything worked or the features. Left there upset instead of happy having just got a new car. Took all the fun out of car buying. Love the car - would never buy one there again though. More

Honestly, I’m beyond disappointed in the behavior, communication, and sales process that I endured. Yes, I wound up buying the car, but I truly cannot wait to be done with this contract with your comp communication, and sales process that I endured. Yes, I wound up buying the car, but I truly cannot wait to be done with this contract with your company so I never have to interact with your entity ever again. Your salesmen lacked the ability to effectively communicate next steps I talked with an abhorrently rude individual that has absolutely no tact or manners. If it wasn’t for Joe, the finance individu, I would have completely walked away and filed complaints with the BBB. Once I am done with a contract I never wanted to be a part of and by the time I realized I was stuck in, it was too late, I will insist that your company never talks to me. If I have to hear from your entity in any manner, I will likely file a grievance or complaint. This has been the absolute worst device of my life. Please do not ever contact me again. More

Buying leased car--Goran is great Goran made buying our leased car pretty easy. He is professional, polite and knowledgeable. I don't think customers should have to go see differen Goran made buying our leased car pretty easy. He is professional, polite and knowledgeable. I don't think customers should have to go see different people in different offices (ie: cashier, deal guy, finance). It should be easier and have someone like Goran bring those people in, or provide docs electroncially to sign. More
