We were in the market for a work car for my husband. We decided on a 2022 Volkswagen Passat. We purchased a warranty because we have always been warranty people. Within the 1st month the oil light came We decided on a 2022 Volkswagen Passat. We purchased a warranty because we have always been warranty people. Within the 1st month the oil light came on. We bought a quart of oil and added it. It happened again a week or so later. We brought it in and it was decided that the whole engine would have to be torn apart and b/c it was loss of oil, it was one of two things not covered in our warranty. Robert and the whole Joe Machens Volkswagen team did everything they could to help us out. They listened to our concerns and offered to buy the car back from us. This is unheard of in this industry as we are serial car buyers. We managed to leave there with another 2022 Passat and the same monthly payment we had before. We would certainly buy from this company again and I have every confidence that if something goes wrong, they will make sure to make it right no matter what. Thank you so much to all of you for your professionalism and understanding. You’ve gained a customer for life. More

A complete joke. 8 days in and I have suspension issues on the front end, which I was told by a real auto shop not machens/jiffy lube. Shame on them. Asked them to br 8 days in and I have suspension issues on the front end, which I was told by a real auto shop not machens/jiffy lube. Shame on them. Asked them to bring in another vehicle over 10k and they told me it was sold but it wasn’t. No gas cap shame on them who even looks at that. Promised to deal with the recalls and has not. 1 key fob.
