Lindsay Volkswagen of Dulles

Recently purchased used 2014 Mini Cooper JCW Countryman, once I drove it off the lot (after the test drive) less than 20 miles down the road, I hear squealing, turns out it's the pressure plate. They ask me to bring it back in and they'll take a look at it. Took it to their service department and after several drives by their team, they could not find or repeat the problem. Service representative advised me to take it to mini and have them take a look at it- stating I would want "mini" service techs working on the car. Finally able to take it to mini, they are able to locate the problem, let me know it's the pressure plate and ran the estimate for repair on this item for $2,481.62. I called Lindsey back, transferred to used sales manager and said mini found the problem, here it is.. Pressure plate and here's the estimate... Lindsay than backs out and washes their hands clean of the problem.. Sorry, normal wear and tear item, nothing we can do... WOW, yes it is a normal wear and tear item, but really, sell me a car that is sitting on YOUR LOT with a pressure plate problem.. in other words the car NEEDS repair. YOU sold me a car that NEEDS REPAIR. So, at the request of the used sales manager, I bring it back to your shop, they cannot find the problem, recommend taking it to mini, find out the issue is pressure plate and suddenly wash hands clean. Funny how we went from thanks for your business, here's my card, let us know if we can assist to....... sorry, can't help... WOW.... will NEVER do business with these folks again and will NOT recommend them to anyone. I called back to Lindsay dealership about 20 min after I left the showroom and suddenly not their problem... WOW.... only highlight of the visit was Alfonso in sales... Only follow on advice, check out forums, see what they say about the pressure plate, I would think you can get another who knows, 30,000 miles out of it....

Alfonso made car shopping a very pleasant experience. He was very helpful, informative, and super patient. Everyone at the dealership was patient and gave us all the time we needed without being pressured. Thank you so much for such a great experience!

Lindsay VW always delivers. We’ve bought multiple vehicles here and have never been disappointed. Whether it’s been a slow day or super busy, we’ve always felt important when we’ve walked through the door. They make the car buying experience pleasant, and that’s rare. Ask for Alfonso.

I recently traded in my vehicle and purchased a new 2019 Atlas from VW Lindsay. It was a smooth and seamless experience. I love my new vehicle and am extremely satisfied! Thank you! My salesman was Alfonso Monteverde. I worked with Paola Rodriguez for financing. I also spoke with Sean Deal, Jerry Holloway and Jon Kerbaugh in management and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Buying a car has always been extremely stressful for me and this time it most definitely wasn’t. Thanks again!

My family and I have bought multiple cars from this location and their service is always outstanding. Alfonso has been our guy for years and has always been a pleasure to work with him. He was very helpful with all my questions and made it easy as I purchased my first car through him. Always goes out of his way and makes time for me whenever I need any help.

Great selection of vehicles. Alfonso has the experience and knowledge to provide great customer service and make your car buying experience top notch. He was able to order my vehicle exactly as I wanted and kept in touch with me all along the way. I would recommend Alfonso to anyone in the market for a Volkswagen.

I visited Lindsay VW three occasions to in order to test drive, purchase, and pick up my new Atlas. Simon Chu went above and beyond to assist me through the entire process. He was incredibly knowledgable about the different variations of the Atlas and helped guide me through all my requirements. Afterwards, his polite persistence and friendly follow-up was a key factor in selling me on the vehicle compared to the lackluster support I received from other automakers. During all of our interactions, he was flexible and a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely look at another VW vehicle in the future solely based off of my interactions with the Lindsay VW staff and Simon in particular.

My experience with Lindsay was as a return customer. Alfonso was my sales rep and he was amazing. He was very attentive and helpful throughout the process. He remained in contact with me while waiting on the delivery of my vehicle. He facilitated a quick sale and was very courteous and professional! Josh was also very easy to work with as a sales manager! He was helpful and it was easy to reach a good price agreement!

Visited the dealer at Labor Day weekend and took test ride on 2012 TDI, sales associate Brad was truly helpful and eager to help. The advertised at $18.192 took test ride, running ok, following day contacted directly with sales manager Jerry for the sale and explain him that , price is slightly higher than my target and due to fact the car was not fully serviced or certified yet and still has previous owners dirty and body damage on it, I offered $1000 less than asking price which is perfectly fit based on KBB sale prices . Instead manager replied Quote and quote; “We leverage bank incentives to improve our retail pricing. If you choose to pay cash the price increases by $1,000, making the purchase price of this vehicle $19,192” ... so basically if you pay cash you get penalties and he jacked up original price by $1000 . Are we in high school .!!!! I leave it up to you, if it doesn’t tell you the manager’s arragent attitude and lack of handling the potential sale , what does ..? More over, steering and rushing the costumer , make it look like it is “hard to find car” is poor treatment from dealer side, especially when it comes from their manager. I would except more professional approach. Good luck to them with their tackle , and steering sale tactics.. Be aware

First off I want to say that I never write reviews for anything but this experience had to be documented so the world can know about my experience with the Lindsey VW sales team. I live in Richmond VA that is 2 ½ hours away on a good day from this particular dealership. I was trading a Charger in for a GLI Jetta. The numbers had been worked out with Steven Kappler prior to me traveling to this dealership and I agreed to those terms. I gave him my SSN and a deposit with the intention of securing a bank loan for me and telling me the rate so I had the option of doing what was best for me as far as securing the best interest rate. The car was not ready to be sold at the moment anyway so I didn’t see the big rush for me to drive 2 and ½ hours up from Richmond. When arriving at the dealership I come to find out that the rate hadn’t been secured(after asking several times) they tried to stick me with a higher than average rate so I could be financed through VW credit. This was so the dealership could make more money off the deal and not secure a fair rate for a person with an 840 credit score. I was not aware of this information or the rate until I reached the finance office. I told Sean Cho I was not paying that rate and he then told me the price would then increase if I didn’t finance threw VW credit and pay 5.7% rate versus 2.99% with my credit union. So I left this dealership to only be called back within 3 minutes later that the deal could be done and I could secure my own financing. I agreed but I really was upset on how I was being treated. I felt like I was being treated as if I was lucky enough to be graced with their presence and that I could buy a car. I continued to move forward because I wanted the product and the VW certification but the longer it took them to get the car ready(which took 2 and ½ weeks) the more I felt they don’t deserve my money or a sale from me. I continued to move forward securing loans and I sent 2 emails and a phone call to Sean Cho and I am still waiting on a call back. I blame Steven for most of this if he has been selling as long as he said he has he would have known the rate the VW credit was going to give with my credit anyway. His only goal was to secure the sale, he didn’t care about my time or distance traveled he is a lying snake and cannot be trusted. I wanted my experience to really be heard because me not buying isn’t quite enough, maybe a few more lost sales will recover my time and my poor mistreatment.
