Let me start this by saying I purchased my VW Jetta SEL brand new from Napleton Auto Werks, Springfield on 3/11/2019. It’s has been nonstop issues since. If you’re not going to read this entire review plea brand new from Napleton Auto Werks, Springfield on 3/11/2019. It’s has been nonstop issues since. If you’re not going to read this entire review please read this part.. DO NOT PURCHASE A VEHICLE HERE! DO NOT HAVE YOUR VEHICLE SERVICED HERE! After my oil change on 11/07/20 they had ordered new speakers to be installed which I had to come back for another day. When I returned on 11/28/20 my car was shifting weird between 1st and 2nd gear.. Weird because it is only a little over a year old?? The maintenance technicians supposedly could not find an issue – so I was made to go about my merry way. Come 10/07/21, my car was shifting extremely hard, and I made an appointment with Napleton where they replaced my instrument cluster. TWO DAYS LATER 10/09/21, the car is shifting WORSE than it was before they replaced the instrument cluster! During this time of repair, I was provided a 2022 VW Jetta that stalled on me in the middle of a busy intersection and would not allow me to drive over 35mph not even TWO HOURS after leaving the dealership. My transmission and cooler were replaced, and I was left in a rental until 10/20/21. During that time, the service department did not follow up with me.. I quit using the dealership for oil changes and to buy tires due to the lack of customer service & knowledge. Here we are 2022, my sunroof got stuck open. I contacted the dealership to manually close it as there were storms in the forecast. They refused to close it at the time I called and made me make an appointment two weeks out on 9/16. During this window of time before my appointment we had a treacherous storm/tsunami come through Springfied, MO. After multiple conversations with the service advisors they agreed to let me bring it in during the storm and manually close it - they did. They stated that the motor in the sunroof button was working fine and that it must be the switch. Great, then they tell me I need to keep my appointment for 9/16 to replace the button/switch and not to open it. During this time of waiting for my appointment my check engine light also came on and my car seemed to be shifting weird again. I dropped my car off on 9/16 at 7:30am when the doors opened. I DID NOT HEAR A SINGLE WORD from the dealership until I reached out at 2pm. They informed me that “there was nothing wrong with the sunroof and that it was closed and not stuck open”. DUH, it was closed because NAPLETON MANUALLY CLOSED IT and told me not to open it until my appointment when the button was replaced. This information came from the HATEFUL front desk worker. Whom I witnessed sitting at her desk eating and watching Netflix. WHAT A NICE JOB TO HAVE! After multiple back and forth calls about the sunroof they agreed it was faulty and would need a new switch/button. Along with that my car needed the EVAP canister replaced as well as the transmission body/valve as my car was in fact NOT shifting properly ONCE AGAIN. I go to pick up my vehicle on 10/20 after the dealership has had it for over a month. I got maybe five miles down the road and my check tire pressure light came on and said my back tire is losing air pressure! I pull over to find out there is a NAIL THE SIZE OF MY HEAD in my BRAND-NEW TIRES. Terry offered that I waste more of my time to repair something I did not do, showed the lack of accountability. With all of this being said, THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! This is honestly the worst dealership in the Mid West, I would have rather went to a buy here, pay here. I would have gotten a better deal and a more reliable vehicle. NAPLETON AUTOWERKS LACKS KNOWLEDGE in all departments and any sense of CUSTOMER SERVICE! There are not enough words to describe how PATHETIC NAPLETON AUTO WERKS is. I will be making this known to anyone I come across. I will NEVER suggest ANYONE to buy another vehicle from this lot I will NEVER purchase another vehicle from this lot! RUN FAR AWAY!! 0/10 would NEVER recommend! More

Proof is in the pudding I took in "an older Jetta" (about 10 years or so), with a minor electrical problem. And just to see if they were as great as advertised, I left a low I took in "an older Jetta" (about 10 years or so), with a minor electrical problem. And just to see if they were as great as advertised, I left a low tyre too. The appointment was not met by the service department, and the car stayed almost a week. To my surprise, nothing was said about the tyre. Now I had purposely left the correct VW OEM part in the box in the front passenger's seat with the "bad" part installed. The Service associate seemed experienced and knowledgeable at the onset. According to the service associate, the car needed around $1200 to "fix all the non-Volkswagon parts" and to replace the "non-compatible" parts. And that was just to start. At one point he told me there was "programming needed" on a simple part that was just some wire that was not connected to any sensors or intelligent circuits. I tried to explain that the component he was trying to "program" was not something that could be programmed. But he insisted... Just to confirm my knowledge of this car's systems, I contacted another VW dealer in another STATE (that I knew and trusted)!!! He confirmed that the component in question, could be changed in any parking lot, with simple hand tools, and the car would never know the difference!! Un-officially, I was told that the torque converter was about to explode, and it would be over $4,000.00 to replace it. And when I asked about a minor adjustment to an interior part, I was told that they had no body shop capabilities, and I would have to take my car elsewhere for any VW authorized body work. A week after taking my car into the shop, I was taken for $149 shop fee, $13.50 in "shop supplies", (from which there was no evidence of need or use), and sent on my merry way with the low tyre and the warning light still on. The shop never tried to install the correct part laying in the top of the box in the front passenger's seat. Had they, they would have found that everything (but the faulty horn), would have magically repaired itself! All-in-all, it was the worst case of customer service xxxx I have ever seen in my nearly 60 years in the auto industry!! I do NOT recommend this dealer to give an honest drink of water, let alone fix ANY CAR!! If you have a Mitsubishi or VW product and need service, TAKE IT ANYWHERE ELSE, and get better service. More
