Safford Volkswagen of Fredericksburg

We purchased a used vehicle from this dealer and understand it would not be perfect however when the tires are so bad that when you get to 70 mph that the entire vehicle shakes uncontrollably, the h understand it would not be perfect however when the tires are so bad that when you get to 70 mph that the entire vehicle shakes uncontrollably, the heat doesn't work, and the fuel filter light comes on, After contacting the dealer they say oh it passed inspection, I would like to get the inspectors name and company, and if I want the heat fixed I purchased the extended warranty. Never in my 48 years have I had an experience with a used car from a large dealer like I have this one. More

Avoid if at all possible! !!!!   As a veteran and VW enthusiast that has traveled the world with his Volkswagens and had them serviced state side and overseas, this is BY FAR !!!!   As a veteran and VW enthusiast that has traveled the world with his Volkswagens and had them serviced state side and overseas, this is BY FAR the WORST service department I have ever dealt with. Below is a small chunk of my personal experiences over the last few years giving them 2nd, 3rd 4th chances etc. The list below is a few examples that were very RUDLEY handled by the service department. If the managers were a bit nicer maybe wouldn't be an issue, but that is not the case. Parts broken during recalls and left without a loaner or rental until repairs were made. Windshield film slashed (gave them a heads up prior to inspection, tech used a razor and sliced the film then had the audacity to say it was like that when I brought it in...) Last minute appointment cancelations (In the car driving to the appointment) Charged for inspections that were supposed to be free, then had to get a sales manager involved for the service department to believe me (lack of internal communication on promotions). Those are just a few recent issues. I am done with this service department!!! More

I cannot implore people enough to stay away from this dealership even if you have to go an hour away. Both the service department & sales people are untrustworthy & even when they give you something in w dealership even if you have to go an hour away. Both the service department & sales people are untrustworthy & even when they give you something in writing will not honor it. They will hand you a preliminary agreement then call you & when you come to an agreeement they will all of a sudden change their minds wasting your time. The service department will constantly lie to your face about how long it will take to get your car back instead of just tellng you they don't know. I have never in my life left a bad review for anything even when they deserved it. They are low, slimy and untrustworthy even for an auto dealership. Lastly I just have to say this, the sales people just don't know what they are doing & are not even informed on the basics. More

DO not take your vehicle here PERIOD. I went in for service and had the vehicle returned missing the undershield, broken parts and told my insurance should be contacted when the vehicle h I went in for service and had the vehicle returned missing the undershield, broken parts and told my insurance should be contacted when the vehicle has been damaged by the dealer. Dont expect VW to care because they gave the dealer opportunity to respond and nothing happened. I have pictures of my injectors filled with diesel fuel, AC condensor damaged and at this point with over $1,000 of damage and I have no choice but to report this dealer and file charges in court....I have come to this dealer over 10 years and even been an employee at one point for 16 years...I had no idea they operated like this. Sad that they no longer care and it is ok to do this to consumers. I will be sure to make sure this never happens again. More

Outstanding service department! Ms Pam Willis and her service techs always do a superb job on my vehicles. They listen to my concerns and they note items I need to be aware of whi Ms Pam Willis and her service techs always do a superb job on my vehicles. They listen to my concerns and they note items I need to be aware of while they perform preventive maintenance on my vehicles. They know that I rely on my vehicles - I've been a customer here for 22 years. I drive 90 miles one way to get to this location and pass by at least 4 other VW dealers as I drive the distance. Ms Pam Willis and her techs have earned my loyalty by earning my trust. I've purchased 3 VWs here over 22 years and I'll keep buying my VWs here. More

I brought to them an odd problem where most of the lights on only the right side had stopped working. They fixed it same day, though they were a bit delayed because they were busy. They were friendly abd cou on only the right side had stopped working. They fixed it same day, though they were a bit delayed because they were busy. They were friendly abd courteous, though I felt tge repair was needlessly expensive. But that’s a Volkswagen design problem and not their fault. More

Every negative review that is written on this site sums up my experience with Safford VW service. Poor communication, lack of follow through, misquoting a repair price....from the time I dropped my car off up my experience with Safford VW service.

They made the car purchase process very easy and didn’t play any games. Very straight forward. play any games. Very straight forward. More

The staff was very considerate and willing to work with me. There wasn’t any of the usual games some dealerships try and play, they were up front and honest. From salesmen to the managers, all around great me. There wasn’t any of the usual games some dealerships try and play, they were up front and honest.
