Colonial Volkswagen of Medford

Everyone I met here was friendly and helpful. The showroom is nice, and they get the job done. It was such a contrast to Boston (Watertown) VW, where I bought my car. I took it there for service showroom is nice, and they get the job done. It was such a contrast to Boston (Watertown) VW, where I bought my car. I took it there for service for a long time, until I finally got fed up with their lame service. There's something wrong there. Colonial of Medford is the place to go if you're thinking about buying a VW, or need service. More

It has been a pleasure dealing with this agency. All of the above mentioned employees were accomodating, knowledgable and especially professional. I would recommend Colonial to anyone and everyone. I enc the above mentioned employees were accomodating, knowledgable and especially professional. I would recommend Colonial to anyone and everyone. I encountered a minor problem a couple of days follwing the sale. One quick call, drove it, immediately addressed, and left with an even more confident feeling that I made the right decision in my purchase. More

My wife and I were looking to buy our first car, and did not know what to expect from the experience. Everyone has heard horror stories (and there are many on this site) from all sorts of dealers of all so not know what to expect from the experience. Everyone has heard horror stories (and there are many on this site) from all sorts of dealers of all sorts of cars. We were pleasantly surprised by all our dealer experiences, but we couldn't have asked for a better experience with Anya at Colonial Volkswagen. She set us at ease immediately, and was incredibly friendly and genuine. She wasn't the least bit pushy or smarmy, and she gave us the space and time we needed to discuss our options and make a decision. She also let us drive three different cars and stayed well passed the closing time for the shop to help us out. She also took the time to review what was on the lot while my wife and I discussed our options, and turned up the perfect car for us. She has followed-up with us since our decision to buy to make sure all our questions got answered and we were comfortable with everything. We've only had our car for a day so we can't be too specific about that part, but the delivery was just as positive as the rest of our experience with Colonial Volkswagen. I'm confident they will help us out if anything goes wrong. Anna was equally friendly, and also gave us the room to decide our options and our financing plan. I would highly recommend both Anya and Anna to anyone looking to buy a car who doesn't want the hassle of an off-putting or condescending sales experience. The whole process proceeded much more smoothly that we expected. Although I'm not an expert on maintenance, I was also really impressed by how clean and orderly the shop was -- this also gives me confidence that they care about service and repairs. Highly recommended! More

Chris was friendly, honest and helpful. Deal was good and fair and didn't take too much time to negotiate. Kept all promises and introduced to parts and service managers. A bit of running back and fort and fair and didn't take too much time to negotiate. Kept all promises and introduced to parts and service managers. A bit of running back and forth for me due to moon roof add on back up and Chris day off. All in all a decent experience for one who doesn't buy cars often nor trusts dealers inherently. Glad that dealership is located in my town! More

I had to go the a VW dealer to clear a "chech engine" light so i could get a new state inspection sticker. From the human ( Ashly) phone to finding service bulliten for my 2001 to cover some of the cost light so i could get a new state inspection sticker. From the human ( Ashly) phone to finding service bulliten for my 2001 to cover some of the cost, this place is really good. It really cost me less than the independent guy I have used who did not correctly diagnosis the engine error and who could not charge back VW. This has me rethinking my adversion the dealer shops. I will use these people again. This for real, NO "typical deal gouging" and NO hype, GOOD service GOOD price, GOOD people. More

I have been leasing cars for 15 years now. Everytime I lease a new car, I find myself having to deal with all different kinds of dealer tactics and trickery. For the first time in my life, dealing with J lease a new car, I find myself having to deal with all different kinds of dealer tactics and trickery. For the first time in my life, dealing with John at Colonial VW in Medford, I had an extremely pleasant, but more importantly honest and straight forward experience. What John told me was the truth, he was not your stereotypical car salesman and was just a geniunely nice guy. They type of guy I was happy to give my business to. In addition, he spent tons of time with my wife and I and answered all of our questions. We went to other dealerships to make sure we were getting a good deal and nobody could beat Colonial's prices, or provide the attention and service they did at Colonial. If you are looking for an honest dealership to buy or lease from with no BS, this is the place to go. More

My first Volkswagen was a Fox, purchased long ago from a south shore Massachusetts dealer, and while I enjoyed the car, to put it mildly, I did not enjoy the purchase experience. Since then I have been lee south shore Massachusetts dealer, and while I enjoyed the car, to put it mildly, I did not enjoy the purchase experience. Since then I have been leery of car salespersons and have approached car purchases with dread. I was recently shopping for a new car and looked at many models and visited many dealers. As a woman shopping for a car alone, it can be a very intimidating process. I just wanted to familiarize myself with the vehicles, maybe take it for a test drive and if I did have any questions, have them answered. I found that I couldn't even get in the door without being rather aggressively approached. At one dealership when I said to salesperson, that if he didn't mind, I just wanted to look around, he aggressively said, only if I didn't mind that he wanted to sell a car. These are the kind of tactics that absolutely put women off. I did not want to go into anymore dealerships to even consider the models that they might be selling. If a customer isn't willing to even look at what the company is offering for fear of how they may be treated, then how can such a company, or an industry for that matter, be successful. Finally when I decided that I really did want a Passat; I was fairly jaded. I have long been familiar with Volkswagens, and I found the website to be excellent. I had concluded that I only wanted to deal online because of how uncomfortable I had been going into dealerships. I had several email exchanges with Chris Ployer, from Medford Volkswagen, and to his absolute credit, he stuck with me. We had stopped discussing the car because I had thought it was outside of my budget. But he expressed a genuine interest in my reasons for only dealing online. I told him that my experiences in dealerships hadn't been the best and I didn't want to waste his or my time. He responded honestly to my concerns, which I found very surprising and it made me think that perhaps I could trust him. I decided to give him a call, I told him that this was just a last effort, that I was about to purchase a car that I liked, but didn't love. I had put a deposit on a car at the dealership across the street from where I worked, and that visit was bad enough. All men yet again, and quite frankly I had put the deposit down because I felt pressure and wanted to get this process over with. It was conveniently located and I could not bear the though of visiting one more dealership. Chris, answered his own phone, was articulate, well spoken and engaging. I told him what I could afford and if he could do that then I would have the car that I loved, instead of one that I just liked. He said he would get back to me promptly and he did. He called right back and said we have a deal, because of our earlier interactions, I believed him. That very night after work I went over to the dealership which at first glance made me a bit nervous, because it is under renovations. When I walked in and finally met Chris, suddenly it was a really safe and comfortable place to buy a car. Chris was wonderful; he was professional, prepared, and absolutely true to his word. He made sure that I was fully informed of how the transaction would take place, all the paperwork, and the process overall. I felt completely at ease. He introduced me to Anna Giacalone, the business manager for that part of the process and I thought, finally a woman in car dealership!!! I was not disappointed; Anna was great she made the credit part of the process so easy. She really listened to my preferences and comfort level. I felt genuine interest in my opinion and she was extremely considerate. Her knowledge and experience was evident and she conducted herself in what I can only imagine is a tough business for woman, with a level of professionalism that is to be admired. Sometimes it is just a small thing that someone may do, that makes a big impact on someone else. For example, when the monthly payments came up it wasn’t a rounded number, she simply redid it and made it round out to the nearest 10. So now every month for the life of the loan, I can write a check that doesn’t contain cents and is rounded out. That is a big deal for me, and I will remember the nice thing she did, because every month it will make balancing my check book that much easier. The little touches and big gestures of both Chris and Anna, have made my interaction with Colonial Volkswagen, something that I thought that I would never say in connection with a car purchase, truly enjoyable. I would highly recommend them to my closest family and friends because they were true to their word, honest and genuine in their actions, and treated my wishes and preferences with the utmost respect.

I recently had to replace my car after an unfortunate accident that totaled it. After visiting several shady dealers who lied in their advertising, it was a relief to work with the relaxed professionalis accident that totaled it. After visiting several shady dealers who lied in their advertising, it was a relief to work with the relaxed professionalism of Colonial VW. I had found my new pre-owned car after first seeing it online with clear descriptions, pictures, and reviews. It turned into the best and easiest experience I've ever had purchasing a vehicle. They were friendly, courteous and honest in their business practices and I would recommend them to anyone that needs to buy a car but hates the typical pushy dealership. More

I've never written a review before but the business manager at tis dealer was SO nice to me that I had to take the time to do it. I had my car towed to this dealer on a rainy night. I needed a ride hom manager at tis dealer was SO nice to me that I had to take the time to do it. I had my car towed to this dealer on a rainy night. I needed a ride home and planned to call a taxi. Even though the dealership was closed the manager, Anna Giacalone, invited me in, offered me a warm drink, made small talk and then drove me home. I was so impressed with her dedication and great service. I've taken my VW Passat there twice for service and they've done a great job, been prompt about calling with a diagnosis and estimate. Mostly, I wanted to thank Anna. She's the best! Elizabeth Golding Melrose, MA More
