We came in for a recall fix for the engine cover, but a few weeks earlier we noticed oil on our driveway. The underside of the car had oil covering the plastic skid plate. As we arrived at Machens for our few weeks earlier we noticed oil on our driveway. The underside of the car had oil covering the plastic skid plate. As we arrived at Machens for our recall appointment I mentioned the oil issue and they immediately began looking into it. Apparently an assembly robot had malfunctioned on torquing a bolt down on a few cars and our Atlas was one of them. The service mechanics had the bolt and repaired it properly. Great experience with Machens! More

Extremely frustrating experience. My vehicle has been at the dealership for over a week with no clear ETA.

After several days with no updates, I had to call multiple times only to receive inconsistent information about readiness and newly discovered issues. Promised callbacks did not happen. Despite the car being undrivable and in their possession, I was denied a goodwill loaner and could not reach finance when attempting to discuss options, my call went straight to voicemail. I escalated the issue to VW corporate simply to get basic communication and temporary transportation while waiting on parts. More

Jade she was ok to begin with but as soon as the sale was completed became very hateful. There was a warranty issue as the car is older. We found out after the purchase there was no extended warranty covera completed became very hateful. There was a warranty issue as the car is older. We found out after the purchase there was no extended warranty coverage available. We discussed this a few days later and was told "you should have gotten the extended warranty." Very shady overall. Will not ever come back as customer! More
