Not only did it ta Worst service I have ever encountered after that. I bought my vehicle there with the promise that certain parts would be repaired. Not only did it take three tries just to have a license plate bracket installed. The bracket and other parts I had to call about myself finding out the parts had been there for weeks each time. I emailed the senior manager about my experience and received an apologetic email in return. Explaining he would be talking to the team to improve services. Well, it happened again. I got helped right after the email but the part ordered was broken. I just found out, July 2nd, that the part has been in since May 26th. This is pathetic. I will never deal with this dealership again and would suggest no one else does either. More
The winter is retreating so I booked an appointment to exchange my winter tires for new all season radials. I booked online with Joe Yetman and he made all the arrangements. A early arrival teamed me w exchange my winter tires for new all season radials. I booked online with Joe Yetman and he made all the arrangements. A early arrival teamed me with Krista McCullough who provided a good plan as well as some alternative arrangements. We quickly came to the best solution with the least cost. A Uber ride home and back was arranged and when my Passat was ready to roll, Brandon Vail, the service manager answered all my questions about the storage of my winter tires and several other other details. I am so impressed with the professional conduct that was shown and the way my , sometimes simple questions were patiently answered. St James Volkswagen has been my choice to do all work on my Passat since I bought it in 2014. They keep it in Top Shape. More
I booked my vehicle into the shop for an appoitment on Monday @ 8am. I dropped my vehicle off before 8 and left keys in lockbox as per an employee whom answered the door. At 230pm i stopped in to get an u Monday @ 8am. I dropped my vehicle off before 8 and left keys in lockbox as per an employee whom answered the door. At 230pm i stopped in to get an update and my vehicle hadn't moved as no one checked the lockbox for the keys and no one decided to call the customer to check but the vehicle was there for 6.5 hours before i showed up to show them where it was parked. They all blame the old guy who drives the shuttle vehicle as he was the guy who told me to put the keys in the dropbox. Vehicle was booked in for a bunch of stuff including a 15000KM maintenance which included a tire rotation. On my invoice it was noted that my tires were rotated yet i have 1 odd ball valve stem cap and it was in the same spot on the vehicle when i picked it up and I questioned Brandon the service manager and he made an excuse that the caps got mixed up while checking air pressure. Brando wouldn't even get up out of his desk and ask what the issue was or even remotely pretend that he cared. I pointed out this error to Kurubei and he spoke with Nawaz and then Nawaz proceeded to tell me that my tires were NOT rotated because the tread depth measured the same on all tires so there was no need to perform this preventative maintenance WHICH MAKES NO SENSE as I booked this service. I caught them in a lie and it's on my invoice and Nawaz admitted that my tires were never off my vehicle as that is why i don't require a retorque. I got two invoices now. One that shows my tires were rotated and another that states the roation isn't needed but they also put a free tire rotation on my file they claim. I asked if there was anything they can do to make this better as it was their mistake and no one can give me an answer. I asked for a phone from Brandon to say sorry and to say they made a mistake. I would take a long look at the google reviews and stay away from St. James VW located at 670 Century street. Their service department is in an absolute disaster. More

The worst dealership I have ever been to. Going forward I will actively caution people away from this dealership.

I'll try to keep it short and to the point - but they really suck so there is a lot. Purchased a 2020 tiguan (used 50 000km) - love the drive. When given the suv to take for a 24 hour test drive it was actually unsafetied - all tires needed to be replaced - I was unaware of course when i left the dealership and drove my small children around. Either way I let it go, no one got hurt and people make mistakes. When it came to purchasing they of course say a price then it's different on paper - again, let it go I know that's part of purchasing a car. I was charged for nitrogen 100$ - a fee "they couldn't possibly remove" a week later my car tires were low, again whatever, I got them filled at a place closer to home. Now my AC doesn't work - I'm guessing never worked because by the time I tried it out it had been 2 months of owning the car. I called to see if they could use the extended warranty I bought, but waive the deductible because it likely didn't work when I bought it in the winter. I was told no by the salesman who sold it to me (Kirby). When I asked to speak to the used sale manager to explain the situation I was never called back, called again, not called back, left a message, never called back. Also, no one except a sales person will pick up the phone there - and a manager is always "busy". All this to say once they have the sale they don't care at all or even have the courtesy to be decent. They really live up to what you expect from a sleazy car dealership. Never ever go there! More
