Terrible customer service and no consideration for your - F.Cas90
Terrible customer service and no consideration for your used vehicle purchase, buyer beware. I had purchased a Volkswagen Jetta 2019 which I had placed a 3000 deposit for because upon test drive the car was mechanically good and ran well. However, the condition of purchase was that the bumper get repainted because it was badly damaged by stone chips to which the sales agent agreed.
After giving the deposit on the vehicle, I left the dealership and was to pick up the vehicle at a later date giving them ample time to repaint the bumper.
So, when I called in to check the status of the vehicle to my surprise the sales agent dealing with my purchase had quit which was a red flag for me. No big deal, they assigned me another agent. Finally, I was called that the car was ready to be picked up, and when I show up these guys had only painted the front lip of the bumper (which was also a colour mismatch) leaving the rest of the damaged bumper untouched. I also noticed a part on the quarter panel paint was bubbling up which I know would be a rust problem for me in the future. I found this to be ridiculous and when I brought it up to the new sales agent and he offered me a loaner in the meanwhile so they can repaint the bumper which in the end I never got.
When I brought up the rust problem he just kept repeating that the manager wouldnt do anything about it and it seemed like they didnt even try to make an effort to make things right. So I agreed to leave the car in the dealership for them to do their job, in which they did a good job, but after several uber trips from scarborough I had enough of their service. I thought all was said and done, but it wasn't. I hadn't even made my first car payment and on my way home from the dealership to scarborough the rearview mirror falls off the windshield. When I called the sales agent and told him about it he just kept saying there's nothing we could do about it.
It's funny because I had personally overlooked many potential cars to go with a VW dealership thinking they take good care of their cars with quality service but I was dead wrong. It seemed like their main concern was getting the car off the lot and taking these further issues with the car off their hands. Approximately $23k car from a VW for me to take it to another mechanic and fork up $700 to get the rearview mirror and all its parts repaired. Great customer service VW Dixie!
I am highly disappointed in their service and considering their safety protocols in selling used vehicles I would have thought they would have repaired the rearview mirror for me before having me drive it on the road. So thank you for that.
This is the second time I'm buying a VW vehicle and the second time around was at this dealership. I will never recommend their services after this horrible experience. Had I known I would have ran into all these issues I would have never even bought the car.
