Poor Representation of the VW Brand If I could rate this dealership zero stars, I would. The general sales manager makes you feel stupid for asking questions and raising concerns, his re If I could rate this dealership zero stars, I would. The general sales manager makes you feel stupid for asking questions and raising concerns, his replies are unemotional and he lacks any sense of customer care. It's as if you can see it in his eyes is that all he cares about is the money his sales team is making, and once you've made a purchase, you're no longer his problem. I bought my car from Capilano VW in November 2015, but recently it had engine issues so I took it to a different dealership's service depart since Capilano wouldn't see me right away (even though my 2016 Golf R has under 7,000km). I requested more information regarding details of work done on my car and instead of telling me he'd try to get the other dealership to contact me, or that his service department will call the other service department and relay the information over, he said there's nothing he can do because it's out of his dealership. ZERO attempts were made to resolve my issues, but instead he chose to point out all the reasons that he doesn't want to and shouldn't have to contact the other dealership to answer my questions for me. All he was concerned with was "calming me down" and explaining that there's nothing he can do. Don't buy a vehicle from Capilano VW if you expect any help resolving issues that happen post-purchase. They are a terrible representation of the VW Group. More
horrible, just horrible fathers 2011 jetta had to go in for recall. neither the dealership or volkswagon would reimburse me, even partially for my ferry cost to go to the de fathers 2011 jetta had to go in for recall. neither the dealership or volkswagon would reimburse me, even partially for my ferry cost to go to the dealer and yet morry mazda reimbursed me when my mazda had a recall. I had no choice but to go to the dealer for this but volkswagon could not have cared less. my family has purchased over 15 volkswagons over the years but never again. they are happy to get your money when you buy but you are on your own after. never setting foot in capilano or any other volkswagon dealer. they have stupid system for service. often have to leave message and get call back. never had that happen with other dealerships. have to park outside and go into showroom for service as a disabled person its not very convenient vehicle is extremely uncomfortable and I can't stand it but have to drive it sometime. makes me appreciate my mazda even more.

Awful experience I went to buy a car, with a very clear idea of what I wanted. The sales rep would not stop talking ONLY to my husband, despite of us telling him seve I went to buy a car, with a very clear idea of what I wanted. The sales rep would not stop talking ONLY to my husband, despite of us telling him several times that I was buying the car, not him. After several attempts at trying to make him talk to me, and the time to negotiate terms arrived, I firmly expressed that I was buying the car, paying for the car, and he should negotiate the terms with me, not my husband. He ended up saying he talked to him because he seemed to understand better and could explain to me. Ladies and gentleman, I have a PhD. I am pretty sure I can understand the terms of a car purchase. We left without buying the car, no one followed up with us. I left a message to the manager who took two days to call me back and did not seem to care of what happened. I ended up driving to another VW dealership and bought my car that same week. More
I bought a 2012 touareg tdi exec line in nov 2011. At the time because of the tsunami in Japan the backup camera supplier was no longer supplying the cameras to VW. I even tried to pay for the camera upfron time because of the tsunami in Japan the backup camera supplier was no longer supplying the cameras to VW. I even tried to pay for the camera upfront, so when it became available I could just have the camera installed at the dealer. At the time, the camera was around a $780 option. The owner Gary S said that he wouldnt do it and that i should just wait until they become available. I was told by my sales guy ( Charles, who was very helpful and was an awesome sales guy). That don't worry, when they become available, the dealer would get me a great deal to have the oem one installed when ready. Well, the cameras are now available and I went in to Cap VW and talked to the owner, Gary who told me to talk to Justin the service manager and I would get "Gary's " price on the camera. For the record, my sales guys Charles no longer works there His price is over $3000 for te camera, wiring and control box. Plus I have to pay another 5-6 hours to have it installed. ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME!!!! Close to $4000 dollars to have a camera installed. How is that taking care of your customers!! I was kinda expecting to pay for labour and get te camera at the dealer cost. NOPE. So now, I drive a $70k suv with no back up camera that I was promised to begin with. I will NEVER take my vehicle back to them again. They were very unapologetic and unsympathetic towards my case. I'll be going back to Clarkdale from now on More
