Hello, I am sorry to hear your visit to Lakeland Volkswagen did not meet your expectations. I understand how frustrating it is when your appointment takes longer than expected, especially after you requested to skip the car wash and had another commitment. If you would like to discuss this further, please reach out to Jared Diveley at jared@lakelandvw.com at your convenience.
