I’ve been in the car business since 1999. I’m originally from Chicago, IL, and lived in Florida for 20 years before moving to Rochester. I love finding the perfect car for my customer's wants and needs, but when I’m not here at work I enjoy scuba diving, snow skiing, traveling, fish keeping, yoga, weight training and I’m also a Licensed Commercial Pilot.

Sam was a great individual to work with, right from the beginning it was really easy to talk to him regarding the car that we are interested in which was the Atlas. He pulled up the information and the spe beginning it was really easy to talk to him regarding the car that we are interested in which was the Atlas. He pulled up the information and the specs of the Atlas that I was interested in and right away brought me out to the lot to show me the car. He informed me of what makes Volkswagen such a reliable brand and what different engineerings the company does compared to the competition. The test drive was great, took me on a road to test the stability of the suv and the turn radius. Once we got back to the dealership he offered me drinks and refreshments while he got the information regarding the trade-in and financial specs regarding the billing information. I would highly recommend Sam and the Volkswagen dealership to anyone interested in shopping for a new car or SUV. I definitely look forward to future encounters with the staff. More

Working with Sam Castelli in the purchase of my Audi Allroad was an excellent experience from start to finish. We were able to complete all of our negotiations amicably and conveniently by phone, email Allroad was an excellent experience from start to finish. We were able to complete all of our negotiations amicably and conveniently by phone, email, and text. I had to travel down to Rochester from the Twin Cities once to finalize the paperwork and again to pick up the vehicle which was out of state. They then arranged for car mats and my license plates to be delivered to a local Luther dealership for me. I would definitely consider purchasing another vehicle from Sam and this dealership and have already recommended them to others. Their pricing was significantly more competitive than local Audi dealerships which made it worth my while to purchase my vehicle from Sam and Park Place Motors in Rochester. More
