This was a very pleasant car-buying experience. When I walked into the dealership, Josiah Zwirn greeted me right away and also accompanied me on the test drive.

Although he is relatively new to the role, Josiah is the most sincere and friendly salesperson I’ve met so far. He did his best to answer all of my questions, looked into additional details when needed, and communicated with his manager to make sure I received accurate information. The main salesperson handling my purchase that day was Gilbert Ansah. Although Gilbert was a bit busy that day (and had Josiah assist me), I never felt neglected. He handled everything very efficiently, answered questions clearly and directly, and acted professionally throughout the entire process. When I brought up certain conditions and requests regarding the purchase, Gilbert responded honestly and straightforwardly, which made the negotiation stress-free. One small example: before the test drive—even before we started discussing pricing—Gilbert proactively explained which parts and features were not included with the vehicle at that price, and he immediately brought out other cars to compare and clarify. The entire process was transparent and enjoyable. It was truly a great transaction experience with Gilbert. More

I’m in a not so fun financial situation and they worked to the ends of the earth to get me a great deal that fit my budget. Every single person I dealt with was #smashmouthstatus. Everyone was warm and friendly, and I didn’t feel intimidated at all going in there. Frank, my salesman was efficient and made sure all my questions were answered. He followed-up with me in a timely manner and always let me know he was there with any questions during the purchase experience, but also post purchase Marcus and Enrique went above and beyond working with VW credit and I’m truly thankful for how they were able to work their magic. The process took about a week, but it felt like a day with how great they were with their communication and follow-ups. Finally Alex made signing the contracts easy breezy beautiful contracts signed and I was in and out in 30. Highly recommend if you’re looking into a VW, which also highly recommend, head to City VW of Evanston. More

I had a great experience at the dealership on Saturday afternoon and want to give credit where credit is due. The whole City staff was excited to work ! Brendan Cowhey was our salesman...not only was he k afternoon and want to give credit where credit is due. The whole City staff was excited to work ! Brendan Cowhey was our salesman...not only was he kind and welcoming, but he also took the time to educate us as first-time buyers, making the process feel smooth and stress free. Brendan’s knowledge of the VW fleet and the car industry as a whole stood out and gave us a lot of confidence in our decision. We ended up going with the 2024 Tiguan. The dealership was very clean and well kept, which added to the overall experience. From the owner, Anthony Scala, to the porters, every team member played a part in making this a true group effort. A well oiled machine from start to finish...The service center attached was efficient and we were out with a new car in a surprisingly short amount of time. Huge thanks to the City team ! More

I want to extend a huge thank you to Gilbert and his team—Sam, Marcus, and Manny—for making my car lease-to-purchase experience truly enjoyable. Gilbert not only answered all my questions and concerns, team—Sam, Marcus, and Manny—for making my car lease-to-purchase experience truly enjoyable. Gilbert not only answered all my questions and concerns, but he also helped me get the Cross Sport R-Line I had my heart set on—one that I’ll be holding onto for years to come. Gilbert goes above and beyond to build trust and comfort, which makes a huge difference when making such a big purchase. If you’re looking for a specialist who genuinely cares about his clients and is willing to go the extra mile, I highly recommend him! Thank you all for the outstanding service and keep up the great work! More

Excellent experience! I came into the dealer to take a look at a car I saw online. I was directed to Ricky who would guide me. He was very informative from the first momen I came into the dealer to take a look at a car I saw online. I was directed to Ricky who would guide me. He was very informative from the first moment. We quickly took the vehicle on a drive. He explained to me all the features and also the car history. Ricky was not your typical car salesman. He did not pressure me into making a decision. I told him I would think about the car over lunch. After examining my options, I did return to City VW for the car but also for the great customer service Ricky provided. Once we reached a deal, he was very attentive through the whole process. He directed me to the right people for each step. Made me feel at home and comfortable with my decision. I have bought 3 other cars and this was by far the quickest process. I believe I was out of the door with the final paperwork within 2/3 hrs. I would definitely recommend Ricky Espino for your car buying needs. He has a great, kind and personable demeanor! More
