I bought during quarantine so I understood the delays and waiting. But after my sale the mistakes were unacceptable. I bought during a special promotion which allowed for 0% financing, no down payment and no waiting. But after my sale the mistakes were unacceptable. I bought during a special promotion which allowed for 0% financing, no down payment and no payments for 60 months. Due to mistakes in my paperwork I was asked to make payments immediately. After many phone calls They admitted their mistake and agreed to fix. I arrived for my appointment to sign paperwork and waited over an hour at which time I was told I would have to wait I definitley. I expressed my frustration and was assured a call. No call, no fix. Hard to tell if it is disorganization or lack of care. Either way I was not provided what was promised. You have many options to buy a VW in chicago. Don’t chose this one. More

Incompetent and deceptive. I highly recommend you avoid this outfit. You deserve better than Downtown Volkswagen. In particular avoid finance department - I’m looking at you Mark Neeton. Charged a $695 pr this outfit. You deserve better than Downtown Volkswagen. In particular avoid finance department - I’m looking at you Mark Neeton. Charged a $695 prep charge for a used car. Terrible communication and god forbid you have a problem with your purchase. You will. Try another dealer. More

Very disappointed... More

Worked hard to "make it right" This dealership wanted to "make it right" per Michael Zafirious.

That wasn't easy in my case - I was upside down on the loan for my trade in, purchasing a 2009 model that was hard to finance and showed up on a busy holiday weekend. It took several visits to figure out the financing and, in the meantime, we realized the car had a broken driver side mirror and needed some TLC detailing. The service team was easy to work with and my sales team covered the services so now I am a very happy owner. I expect to continue working with downtown VW for service going forward. More
