Great experience with Richard Song and Joe Heidt After a bad experience at another dealer, I contacted Richard Song at Joe Heidt.

Richard quickly understood my request and got back to me with a response within the promised 15 minutes. I was on a conference call at the time, so we went back and forth via text. By the time the call was over, we had agreed to terms and had a deal. I went to pick the car up the next day, and Richard came in on his day off to deliver it personally. I have bought a lot of cars in my life, and this was the best experience with the nicest and most competent salesperson yet. Thank you Richard and Joe Heidt!! More

Mixed review TL;DR: Don’t fall for flim-flam. Inspect all the numbers and line-items. Do your own math. Read everything carefully. In other words, do your due dili TL;DR: Don’t fall for flim-flam. Inspect all the numbers and line-items. Do your own math. Read everything carefully. In other words, do your due diligence. And, whereas nice, the service department does not inspire confidence. My first sales associate was sheisty, the second one (Richard) was much better. Whereas I am extremely happy with my new car (2018 GTI SE), I did not have the best car-buying experience. I initially came to Joe Heidt for service on my old GTI. Four months after $1800 in repairs I found myself needing an entire engine replacement with only 86,000 miles on the original engine. No responsibility for the engine break-down was assumed by the service department, even though when I’d brought it in initially, I asked them for a once-over and tune-up (in addition to other specific work it needed) and they informed me I needed a new valve cover gasket. I agreed to have them replace it. After the subsequent piston-ring failure, and being informed that I would need to replace the entire engine, I was advised to contact VW North America to see if they could do anything for me. They offered me a $750 voucher towards a new car...I guess it’s something. Especially if it would be next to impossible to legally prove malpractice on the part of the service department... Faced with potentially a $4000 repair (on a 15 year old car), I decided to look into replacing the car entirely. I went to 5 other dealers and test-drove 4 other makes and models. My car needs are very specific because of my line of work and there are not many cars in the segment (hatchback) that suit my needs and are not SUV/crossovers (which, as a class, are a rip-off and inefficient). When I’d first made the determination that I was going to consider buying a new car, I started at Joe Heidt—figuring I’d look at a straight replacement, new GTI for old GTI. Also thinking they might be inclined to give me a good trade-in value for my old GTI, seeing as how they may have been at least partly responsible for blowing it up in the first place... The service manager referred me to the sales floor (I would soon learn that communication between these two departments was not very good at all), and one of the salesmen called me up. Out of the gate, he presumed to call me by a nickname that only my big brother and a few very close old friends ever used. And he used it in every sentence—I guess that was some sales “style” or strategy. When I told him that only my big brother and childhood friends ever called me that, he apologized...and then proceeded to keep calling me it. Honestly, Idgaf really if someone I know uses the diminutive, but I *do* care if someone I don’t know, and who is trying to sell me a $30,000 car doesn’t listen to me. I still made the trip down to the dealership (about 40 mins away) to take a look at what they had on the lot—mind, I hadn’t yet decided, just was considering. When I arrived, the salesman had already drafted up paperwork and immediately asked me to fill out the financing application. I HADN’T EVEN LOOKED AT A SINGLE CAR YET. When, out on the lot, I remarked that I felt like white cars were harder to keep looking clean, or that they showed dirt more readily, he confidently stated that in fact it was to the contrary and that it had been “scientifically proven” so. He pretty much lost me as a customer right there. Total bs-er. From there, I spent the following week or so comparison shopping. Half of the other dealerships I went to I had a much nicer customer service experience. The other half were meh. I will say, however, that JH’s service department are very cool about their loaner vehicles. They put me in a brand-spankin-new Beetle convertible during this whole process, and didn’t bother me. After driving a bunch of different cars (and finding a couple lower-priced alternatives I could live with and be happy with), I wanted to actually test drive the new GTI just to make sure before making my decision. And so I wound up back at JH—this time (after being made to wait despite having an appointment—which I didn’t actually mind really, places get busy, and they were apologetic) I was paired up with a different sales associate, who was generally much more agreeable to me. But when it came time to do numbers, there was the old “I’ll have to go run this by my manager” routine. And then, instead of discussing the sale price, they would slip into the “how much the monthly payment would be” flim-flam—filling the page with different numbers at different APRs/terms, with different downpayments—not budging on the big number... And then there is another running it by the manager. And more abstract numbers. You get the drift. I’m not a dummy and I can make my own calculations. This sales method is 100% designed to hoodwink the customer. I did not appreciate it. Ultimately, with the voucher (that VW of NA *so generously* gave me) and another $500 over the initial offer tacked on to the trade-in value of my old GTI, we got the price of the car down to pretty close to what I said I was willing to pay. And, again, the sales associate I wound up with (Richard) was very helpful and accommodating (regardless of their film-flammy sales method—which I must note, was also employed by the first salesman, and I would assume is a dealership-wide method). Also, know that after you come to your number for the car, when you go into the finance office to work out the loan agreement, they will spend another 15-20 minutes trying to sell you a bunch of other insurance and care packages that they will tack on to the price of the car and roll into your loan payment. It’s of course up to you whether or not you take any of them, but just know that they will continue to attempt to extract as much money from you as possible. More

I went in to the dealership with my elderly parents that were no longer able to get in and out of my present car. Victoria was attentive to their needs as well as knowledgeable about the car we were looking at ! The negotiation process was very comfortable with the manager coming to the table to talk ‘ numbers ‘ with everyone. This was very reassuring. Victoria helped make this big buy simple and stress free ! More

Customer Service Two Thumbs UP! This was my first VW experience. For a whole year and a half, I was researching for a vehicle that will best fit my needs for myself and my son whil This was my first VW experience. For a whole year and a half, I was researching for a vehicle that will best fit my needs for myself and my son while on the road. Safety is priority. From the moment of inquiry over the internet (Carfax) to visiting the dealership it was customer service at its best. Robert, my salesman, was prompt and professional all the way to both my grandfather and I! He was efficient in getting solutions with my concerns and questions. He and the team had great integrity in their work. Highlight: Robert and the team helped me get my car delivered; safe and sound when I wasn't able to transport it myself. Thank you so much for your patience, time and efforts for my first VW Jetta! More
