When you buy a vehicle from a dealership and everything goes without a hitch it's easy to say positive things about the staff.

It's only when unforeseen problems arise that you see the true character of those same staff members. In our case the vehicle we bought was used and one of those whose problems just couldn't be fixed. Jessica, the Service Manager, and Stephanie, the Assistant General Manager, were great. They went above and beyond and represented Harbourview VW well. They supported us, made us feel like valued customers, and in the end helped us get into a vehicle that works for us. We left with nothing but good things to say about Harbourview VW and we have no hesitation in recommending the dealership to others. More
Was not happy with customer service at this dealership. Went to the mainland and bought the same VW for 15% cheaper. Consider this option before spending your money here. Went to the mainland and bought the same VW for 15% cheaper. Consider this option before spending your money here. More
Recently I guided a friend of mine to a Golf Sportwagen at Harbourview . The trade in transaction was very uncomplicated and without pressure. Sean (the dealer principal ) was nice enough to have a chat an at Harbourview . The trade in transaction was very uncomplicated and without pressure. Sean (the dealer principal ) was nice enough to have a chat and Sean in sales sealed the deal . This is still a family run business and it really shows . Subsequently I have just had a service of my own Golf R and found that end of the operation to be at least as efficient and welcoming. Thanks to Iain and Jay . I rate this place as amazing , almost like a bygone era . More

Dave was very knowledgeable and made the stress of purchasing a vehicle easy to deal with. The whole staff at the dealership were very friendly and approachable (no arrogant airs!) I also really appreciate the followup emails asking how everything is going with the vehicle and which services are coming due as I am not a local resident of the area. It is very reassuring that the company likes to keep their customers happy even after the initial purchase as the service is just as important to me. More

Absolutely Terrible Customer Service We purchased a used Golf from this dealership in 2014. Five days ago we were driving home from Victoria to Courtenay when the car began to stall on u We purchased a used Golf from this dealership in 2014. Five days ago we were driving home from Victoria to Courtenay when the car began to stall on us anytime we slowed down to a stop or had to go up any sort of incline from a stopped position. This happened when we were just outside Nanaimo and were able to make it to the VW dealership for servicing. They did a diagnostic, determined it was a worn out ignition coil, and they replaced it. They charged us $450. We left the dealership and got back onto the highway only to realize that the car was acting exactly the same way. Nothing had been fixed! Even though it was not safe because of all the stalling, we were able to make it back to Courtenay. When we contacted them and asked them for some - any - kind of refund because they did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM, they said there's nothing they can do. All they did was misdiagnose the problem. Just a reminder, we purchased this car at this dealership. Is that how you want to be treated as a customer? It goes without saying that we will never, ever use them again. I would strongly suggest that if you're looking to purchase a VW, go to Courtenay or Victoria. Be warned that they do not take customer service seriously. More
