Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you have experienced, especially after multiple visits for the same trunk latch concern. I also apologize for the lack of communication during your most recent visit. That is not the level of service we expect to provide. During this last visit, the trunk latch was replaced, the wiring going to the system was tested, and the handle/ajar sensor operation was inspected to verify how far the handle is moving and whether it is reading correctly. After several days of testing the wiring and repeatedly operating the latch, we were not able to duplicate the concern again. At this time, we have asked that you continue driving and using the vehicle as normal. If the concern happens again, please bring the vehicle back as soon as possible so we can inspect it while the issue is actively occurring. Regarding the scratch near the trunk latch area, we would also like the opportunity to inspect that concern further. Please contact me directly so I can review the situation and help work toward a resolution. Sincerely, Brian Yates Service Manager byates@cardinaleway.com (661) 459-1511

A simple oil change turned into a 7hr ordeal due to negligence. I was scheduled for an oil change on Thursday and when I was contacted to confirm the day before, I was told they were overbooked and it More

Volkswagen Bakersfield responded

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am truly sorry to hear about the frustration you've experienced and the feeling that your concerns were not addressed. Reading your review, it's clear that we fell short of the level of communication and customer service you deserved. My name is Brian Yates, and I am the new Fixed Operations Director. While I understand your disappointment and appreciate the unfulfilled promises have understandably damaged your trust, I would still welcome the opportunity to personally learn more about what occurred and see if there is anything I can do to help. If you're willing, please leave me a message directly at 661-515-0275, and I will personally return your call. If email is more convenient, you can reach me at byates@cardinaleway.com. I recognize that a response now does not erase your experience, but I would appreciate the opportunity to listen, understand what happened, and use your feedback to improve both your experience and the experience of future customers. Sincerely, Brian Yates 661-515-0275 / byates@cardinaleway.com

MKVI responded

Dear Brian, Thank you for reaching out via email. However, considering we just spoke face-to-face on Tuesday regarding this exact issue, I am quite surprised to receive this response. As I communicated to you directly during our conversation, offering a complimentary future service does not make up for the 7 hours of my time wasted, nor does it address the severe safety hazard created by your team's negligence. Because financial accountability was refused when it mattered most, my trust in Volkswagen Bakersfield has been permanently lost. As my stance remains unchanged, I have no desire to discuss this further over a phone call, and I request that you do not contact me again regarding this matter. My decision is final, and I will not be returning to your dealership for any future sales or service. I genuinely hope you use this feedback to improve your operations so that no other customer has to experience what I did. Sincerely, Ben

Erick in the service department is an extremely competent professional. He was by far the star of the staff. I worked with sales and service departments when purchasing a used car recently. More

We’re glad our service center addressed the engine light on your Volkswagen Taos the same day and that warranty coverage kept things straightforward. Providing Lyft rides both ways and a complimentary wash helps make visits seamless. Thank you for trusting us with your Taos service.
