Harbourview Volkswagen

They just don't care Title sums it up. I have bought several brand new vehicles over the past 5 years and each time has been pretty good. Where to start with these jackal Title sums it up. I have bought several brand new vehicles over the past 5 years and each time has been pretty good. Where to start with these jackals - ridiculously lowball trade in offers, blatant lying about current finance rates, scummy sales tactics that are more fit for the flea bag used car dealers. Spin the wheel to win a cornball prize! Ended up buying Golf Wagon here because I liked the car and really was not interesting in travelling to Victoria or Courtenay, too bad, guess I should have. Amazing how a banner flies in front of the dealership advertising a certain interest rate but magically the vehicle I purchased doesn't have that rate available. Business manager must have got a big bonus from the bank he signed me up for because even VW advertised rate for the golf wagon was a full percentage point better as I found out later online. Also this is the first new vehicle I have purchased where a "documentation fee" was charged, used vehicle sure ok, make your pure profit. Its also pretty incredulous that on their window stickers it clearly states "dealer mark up $1000" like as though they are being highly transparent...come on, really? The promised "full" tank of diesel was really about 16 litres short of a full tank, making the poor salesman seem like a fool saying I wouldnt need to fill up for weeks because I would get 1100km on the tank. 695km at 5.3l/100km - while the economy was great, it would have almost made to 1100km with that extra 16 or so litres that was missing. No follow up after purchase, no phone call, no email, no hey come check out our service department, not even a fricken keychain! They didn't even recognize or acknowledge me when I came back in a week later for some detailing. Wow. As the old saying goes, fool me once shame on me. Oh but I highly recommend the Golf wagon, awesome car - probably buy it somewhere else though. More

Lies and blatant disregard of safety issues. Purchased brand new Jetta off the lot. Found structural issue with passengerside A pillar. Mechanic concluded the vehicles A pillar was not welded cor Purchased brand new Jetta off the lot. Found structural issue with passengerside A pillar. Mechanic concluded the vehicles A pillar was not welded correctly and was rattling because the tacks had broken. The service manager then proceeded to send us home with the car stating that they would get it in to a body shop to get it fixed some time soon, Refusing a courtesy car and refusing to let us speak with a manager. According to a reputable body shop the car would not pass an inspection and therefore the vehicle was not deemed roadworthy and would pose a high risk in an accident. Not to mention blatant lies on the sales front about fuel economy and customer service. More

Purchasing a vehicle from this dealership from out of province. Worked with the salesman to be sure this was the vehicle for me given the travel costs to go get it. Salesman at the time was friendly an province. Worked with the salesman to be sure this was the vehicle for me given the travel costs to go get it. Salesman at the time was friendly and helpful. Agreed on a price and put a deposit down on the vehicle. Booked my flights, hotel, harbour flight etc, get a call the next day saying they sold the vehicle to someone else. At no point was the agreement of my deposit upheld, and I was not given any opportunity to counter offer. Penalty fees for canceling flight, and salesman would not respond to me after someone else had left the message of selling the vehicle. What started as a good experience quickly deteriorated. I've dealt out of province a few times for vehicles, and I have never had such a poor experience like this. More

THIS REVIEW ONLY APPLIES TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I have had my VW serviced at this dealership for the past six years and have always found them to be courteous and very helpful, especially the male pe have had my VW serviced at this dealership for the past six years and have always found them to be courteous and very helpful, especially the male personnel at the service desk. I have found the repairs to be reasonable and have not be charged for things that I did not want or need. I just bought a new VW Golf wagon and will continue to have the car serviced at this dealership. I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THE SALES DEPARTMENT. I agreed to have my 2004 diesel Jetta Wagon with 130,000 km driven by a salesman to assess how much it would be worth in a trade in on a new VW Golf diesel wagon. It is a very rare car to buy and when I was able to find it on Craigslist, it would list for about $12,000. It had been serviced by this dealer since 2007, previously by another dealer in Vancouver. After consulting with the sales manager, the salesman offered me $4,000 for the car. I was shocked and asked him how much he would sell it for. Without batting an eye, he said $10,000. I told him what I thought of his offer and walked out. I purchased the new 2013 Gold diesel wagon in Vancouver and I sold my 2004 for $11,000 cash on Craigslist. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND BUYING A CAR FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. More
