I’ve purchased over 7 vehicles from Campbell Nelson VW - Andrew
I’ve purchased over 7 vehicles from Campbell Nelson VW over the years, thinking I had built a trusting relationship with a dealership that values its customers. Unfortunately, my latest experience has shown me that loyalty and repeat business mean very little here.
Less than 30 days after purchasing a $38,000 vehicle from them, I was hit with a $3,700 repair bill due to the heater failing — something that absolutely should not happen this soon with a “new” car. When I reached out to the owner, Craig Campbell, hoping for help or even a conversation, I was completely brushed off. It felt like my concerns didn’t matter and my years of business meant nothing.
To add insult to injury, before this purchase, I traded in my VW ID.4 — a vehicle I originally bought from them for around $30,000 with no trade-in — and they only offered me $15,000 on trade-in value. That’s a huge loss in such a short time, and it really stung, but I went ahead with the purchase expecting good service in return. Now, with this sudden and costly repair, I feel taken advantage of.
I wasn’t asking for a free ride — I even offered to split the cost of repairs — but that was ignored too. Instead, I was met with indifference from someone I expected better from. It’s become clear that profit comes before people at this dealership.
I’ll be sharing my experience on every platform I can — not out of spite, but to warn others. I trusted this business with thousands of dollars over the years, and now I feel completely let down. If you’re thinking about buying from Campbell Nelson VW, I strongly encourage you to read the reviews, ask hard questions, and be cautious. This dealership did not stand by me when it mattered most.
Until Craig Campbell and his team take accountability and make this right, I will not be doing business with them again.
