With over 20yrs of automotive sales experience, I value excellent customer service above all else. Love to help people with finance needs and credit hiccups. Started in 99' at a VW/Nissan dealer and 20yrs later, I find myself back with VW! Huge Animal lover and have 3 wonderful pets Lucille, Stephie, and Kitty. I learned excellent customer service and incredible attention to detail from ABT Appliance & Electronics back as a teenager. Please stop in and say hi!

I could not be more pleased with Volkswagen and the staff, especially Mike Z. He makes the entire car buying process very easy and is extremely friendly. He explains everything thoroughly and keeps you More

Hello, I apologize as this is not the level of customer service we promote at Volkswagen of Downtown Chicago. Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience with us.

At a time convenient for you, please reach out.

I am sorry but is the apology going to fix the core issue here?? Michael is clearly not competent enough to handle the tough situation. Please tell me if yelling and losing temper infront of a 4 YEAR OLD KID in ANY case is acceptable?? We STILL made purchase from you because we value Our time and Other people's time. After making purchase from you clearly indicates that we were serious buyers but your employee still couldn't tell having 20 years of experience? Telling a customer that they have wasted your time when you are just doing your job, is acceptable? Snatching phone aggressively from customer hand when they are recording your employee losing temper in front of kid, is acceptable? if a person know they are right they shouldn't worry if they are being recorded, if a person is composed and claimed again shouldn't worry about being recorded.

Excellent customer service! This is the best dealership I have worked with. John Sheehy was my Sales Man/Upgrade Consultant and I would defiantly recommend to ask for him or make an appointment with him! More
