BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! I recently traded my 2013 Dodge Charge R/T Hemi for a 2014 VW Jetta TSI. I was in need for a winter vehicle since the charger would get me nowhere! I I recently traded my 2013 Dodge Charge R/T Hemi for a 2014 VW Jetta TSI. I was in need for a winter vehicle since the charger would get me nowhere! I was determined that I would not leave until I got a winter vehicle with great gas mileage and in my price range. I’m always buying cars and I’ve never met such a GREAT salesman like Darwin Cunningham. He is very nice, not pushy at all and very friendly. Overall I’ve had the best experience with Joe Machens VW than I ever have. I won’t go anywhere else! More

We told him exactly wh We just traded in our leased 2013 VW Passat TDI for a new 2015 version and Alan Nichols made the whole process smooth and easy! We told him exactly what we wanted and it was there at the dealership waiting for us - cleaned and with a full tank of gas. We were in and out of the dealership in less than an hour with a great car for a great monthly payment. I recommend Machens VW to everyone! More

Frustrated over inspection findings We bought a vehicle that came with a 120 point inspection which was conducted by Joe Machens VW. Two weeks after our purchase the check engine light We bought a vehicle that came with a 120 point inspection which was conducted by Joe Machens VW. Two weeks after our purchase the check engine light is on and the engine smells of oil so we took it to the mechanic at Joe Machens VW. The mechanic found several problems and asked us if anyone had explained to us that we would have to pay 50% of the fees. (The estimated total cost of repairs was between $800-1,000, not to mention that these "problems" should have kept the vehicle from passing inspection in the first place.) We had been told my our salesman that the dealership provided a 30 day/3,000 mile warranty on ALL of their vehicles, so we called customer service to find out why they were now saying 50/50. Our salesman said it was a "misunderstanding on his part", that they do have a warranty if they are under so many miles, but that our vehicle didn't fit that description, so we asked to talk to his manager. We found out the salesman had lied about the maintenance plan/warranty, yet the higher management offered no solution. We plan to take the vehicle to the Highway Patrol Inspection Station to see if they find any other flaws in the original inspection. In the meantime we have found another mechanic who can fix our issues for $200-300....talk about a mark up on prices at the dealership!!!!! WE VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS......we were treated so well as they tried to swoon us with their sales pitch but as soon as we bought our vehicle we weren't their concern anymore. Buyer beware! More

He was pati I am a single female and met Darwin Cunningham in 2009 when I purchased my first used vehicle. I was a bit nervous buying all by myself. He was patient and answered my many questions. I never felt pressured or pushed. When I was ready to trade in 2014 I returned to Darwin, got a fair deal and purchased my third used vehicle from him. I have never had any problems after the sale but know if I did Darwin would help me. More
