Outstanding service dept. I had a recall on my 2009 volkswagon routan. I was having trouble finding a dealership to correct the recall. Many times I tried but was told the part I had a recall on my 2009 volkswagon routan. I was having trouble finding a dealership to correct the recall. Many times I tried but was told the parts were on back order or it would be weeks till I could bring my vehicle in. When I found your dealership, one call and I was able to drop my van off that evening and the next day picked it up. Brandon followed up with me that evening to ensure the part would be there and again when it was completed. He was polite kind and professional. More

Another Great Germain VW Experience A couple months prior, we searched for a 2016 VW and had a very positive experience with salesperson Ryan Rooney at Germain VW of Ann Arbor. When we A couple months prior, we searched for a 2016 VW and had a very positive experience with salesperson Ryan Rooney at Germain VW of Ann Arbor. When we needed another VW shortly thereafter, we again contacted Ryan at Germain and he delivered the same stellar service as before. Ryan was extremely patient and understanding as my wife tried out a variety of cars numerous times over a multi-week period. As before, he exhibited an impressive knowledge of the various VW models, trim lines, and their respective options. Most impressive was Ryan's tireless dedication to ensure my wife ended up with the right car. If not for Ryan, I'm convinced we'd still be searching for a car. Hats off to Germain for employing a pro like Ryan. More

Superb Service, Incredibly Knowledgeable! We walked into Germain VW of Ann Arbor to look at Touregs and Tiguans on a busy Saturday without an appointment. Heather greeted us, finished with ano We walked into Germain VW of Ann Arbor to look at Touregs and Tiguans on a busy Saturday without an appointment. Heather greeted us, finished with another customer, and immediately went about making us a priority. My husband and I are both young professionals and we needed to replaced my daily driver. At a few other dealerships in the area, we weren't taken as serious buyers--much to our frustration. Heather was not pompous or rude--she was delightful! Heather took the time to listen to our needs, even when some were rather specific or odd. We ended up test driving 3 vehicles, 2 VW's and an Audi. We loved the new 2017 VW Alltrack and felt like Heather really listened to our needs and help us choose the best vehicle. At no point did we feel like Heather was pushy or trying to sell us something we didn't need. She simply gave us a great amount of practical information and let us make our decision. She was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions my detail-orientated, engineer, gear-head husband could come up with. If you're a gear-head, Heather is your guru! She has practical experience working on vehicles and actually knew what she was talking about. I also need to note how Heather really went the extra mile. She stayed late (over an hour) twice to accommodate our schedules. She took the time to walk us through the features of the vehicle and really made sure we were happy. I also want to note a rather unusual event that happened while we were at the dealership one day. A gentleman, who I suspect was homeless and struggling with his mental health, came into the dealership and was causing quite a commotion. Not only did the employees of the dealership handle the situation with grace, they were incredibly kind to the gentleman, did not just kick him out or call the police as some businesses in the area do. I was very touched with the grace and tact that they handled the entire situation. I would happily recommend working with Heather and Germain Volkswagen of Ann Arbor. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic Salesperson at Germain VW of Ann Arbor With VW buying back our 2012 Golf TDI, my wife needed a new car. After test-driving several models at Germain VW of Ann Arbor, she decided on a 2016 With VW buying back our 2012 Golf TDI, my wife needed a new car. After test-driving several models at Germain VW of Ann Arbor, she decided on a 2016 GTI SE with DSG in Carbon Steel. Our sales rep, Ryan Rooney, was the best. He knew the product line well, offered constructive advice, and was very patient as we test-drove a number of cars. Unfortunately, there were no 2016 GTIs specced as my wife wanted withn the area where Ryan could make a dealer trade. Even though he couldn't ultimately sell us a car, Ryan will be remembered as one of the best sales reps I have encountered in over 40 years of purchasing cars. I recommend that anyone considering a VW visit Germain VW of Ann Arbor and see Ryan Rooney. More

Poor customer service I don't usually go to a dealer for regular maintenance, but I had the $500 voucher from the TDI debacle and there were a few recalls I needed to atten I don't usually go to a dealer for regular maintenance, but I had the $500 voucher from the TDI debacle and there were a few recalls I needed to attend to so I went to Germain for the recalls, an oil change and diagnostics on the check engine light that had been on and off for a few weeks. It ended up taking longer than expected due to needing some parts, but I had a loaner and they generously said that wouldn't be a problem. I picked my car up two days later and all seemed well until I tried to honk the horn and it didn't work, and it was off center. I called back and was told to bring it back in to have that checked. When I got there I found out that I would be charged for diagnostics on this. I explained that since this happened while it was there for service I did not expect to pay for it. They said they did not touch the horn so this was a new problem and I would be charged. I left without having it looked at. While this is not a major mechanical problem, I was very disappointed in the lack of customer service and respect. If they are not going to listen to my complaint and take responsibility, what else might they expect me to fall for? I will not trust my car there again. More

2016 SEL Hybrid Jetta Only because of Ryan Rooney my Volkswagen of Ann Arbor VW purchase could not have been better! In virtually every aspect. Ryan guided and advised cont Only because of Ryan Rooney my Volkswagen of Ann Arbor VW purchase could not have been better! In virtually every aspect. Ryan guided and advised continuously. While virtually every employee that I dealt with was highly professional (knowledgeable and respectful and sharp and super friendly) Ryan was exceptional; super in every way. Continually and actively committed to be of service at every instance! Every business should be so fortunate to have an employee of his quality and character. And that's in addition to the following employees that contributed to the overall success and my satisfaction: Alex Morris: Parts Advisor Danny Vogel: Service Advisor Marty Ball: Service Advisor Rachel Landry: Receptionist Mike Davis: Service Manager Kashka Fields: Finance and business manager Thank you Volkswagen of Ann Arbor!

Purchase of (new) 2016 VW Passat SEL "My new Passat SEL is awesome" A sales team like that of Mr. Ryan Rooney and Mr. Chad Hands is exactly what all Fortune 500 companies need to have "My new Passat SEL is awesome" A sales team like that of Mr. Ryan Rooney and Mr. Chad Hands is exactly what all Fortune 500 companies need to have on board to continuously grow and improve their business and exceed what customers expect. I am still amazed at how accommodating and caring they were. I worked at GM (salaried/manager) for 35 years and I only wish I could have had the fortune of working with/for someone like those two gentlemen. They are top shelf. -- thank you (Michael Dunn - East Lansing, MI) My next new car will (again) be a Volkswagen. More

Avoid this service center like the plague. By far the worst experience I've had with any car dealership. No respect for customer's time or loyalty. On one occasion, I was told that services wou By far the worst experience I've had with any car dealership. No respect for customer's time or loyalty. On one occasion, I was told that services would take two hours, so I waited, only to have the service take > 5 hours -- no additional services provided; they were simply low on personnel. To add to annoyance, I was never told why it was taking so long and when I would inquire I was told "we're working on it. Hang in there" Shame on me for going back for service several months later. I requested and was scheduled for a loaner car. Upon arriving at the dealership, I was told that they misscheduled their loaners and actually didn't have one for me. I was "generously" offered to wait for the car all day. I work full time, so this obviously wasn't an option. I highly recommend that the dealership rethinks their policy of not informing customers of unforeseen circumstances prior to their arrive to appoint. If these reasons aren't enough to stay away, be aware that regular services (ex: oil change) at Ann Arbor dealership cost more than other service locations (i.e. Livonia) If you don't value your time, money or general customer service.. Then this is the place for you!! Otherwise, avoid this dealership like the plague. Has made me regret my decision to buy a Volkswagen. More

Exceeded my expectations!!! My 2013 Passat was in need of its 50,000 mile check up. I coordinated with my service rep, Danny Vogel, to schedule this maintenance and needed to ch My 2013 Passat was in need of its 50,000 mile check up. I coordinated with my service rep, Danny Vogel, to schedule this maintenance and needed to change the date twice due to conflicts. Each time, Danny was very responsive and a date was scheduled. I live over 45 minutes from the dealer and the service was expected to take several hours. Danny made arrangements for a loaner car and delivered it to my house and took my car for the service. All of the agreed upon work items were completed and my car was returned to my home at a previously agreed upon time. Where do you go today for automotive service work that is completed properly and there is zero inconvenience? GERMAN VOLKSWAGEN! More
