Highly recommend cap VW service !! I recently relocated to an area where there is no VW dealership in close proximity. In fact, the closest dealership is 1800km each way. I called cap V I recently relocated to an area where there is no VW dealership in close proximity. In fact, the closest dealership is 1800km each way. I called cap VW as I have had my car previously serviced there when I lived in Van. I have a 2015 VW Jetta so it is still under warranty and my engine light came on. VW Canada told me the car had to be taken to a dealership for warranty work. So i then called cap VW and I spoke with Moe on the phone and he walked me through some different things to try and the engine light ended up turning off with his expertise!! He saved me a massive hassle and headache. More
6 Years of continous Excellence in Service I am more than happy to write a positive review on behalf of Capilano VW. I have been in the VW family since I was a child. My parents, my sibli I am more than happy to write a positive review on behalf of Capilano VW. I have been in the VW family since I was a child. My parents, my siblings and my self and my spouse all drive VWs, and although we've all driven other makes of cars, we always return to VW. In 2011 I began my relationship with Capilano VW Sales, Service and Parts department. In my opinion, I am very pleased with the past 6 years from Capilano. I have NO complaints. The wait time to get serviced is more than fair, the quality is always right, and all of my warranty items have been honored. Thank you Capilano Service for 6 years of Satisfaction!! More
The service department lacks urgency, is unprofessional I felt very helpless and dismissed. They said they were very busy, and even though I have two kids under four and need my car desperately, that it wou I felt very helpless and dismissed. They said they were very busy, and even though I have two kids under four and need my car desperately, that it would still take over a week before they could start on my car. After many persistent calls pleading for faster service, my car was partially diagnosed for $260. They estimated at least two more hours to diagnose and at least a thousand in repairs and told me my car wasn't worth fixing. I ended up towing my car to West Motors where they fixed it the same day, whilst charging much more reasonably. My car is running great and the service was a million times better. I will never, ever step foot at Capilano VW again. More
Being Jerked Around. My experience at Capilano VW has been extremely poor. They were unprofessional, belittling and time wasters. I recently went into their facility My experience at Capilano VW has been extremely poor. They were unprofessional, belittling and time wasters. I recently went into their facility to test drive one of their used vehicles. I provided all of my information and even asked if I can put in an initial offer. I was told to wait a couple of days so that the sales associate can communicate with the manager. I understood and kept SMS throughout the week with various offers back and forth. We ended with a number that was in the middle. I responded that seems fair and that I would like to make an appointment a couple days later so that my GF can see and test drive the car before siting down for a deal. (We both had to take time off from our jobs to make it to North Vancouver). The communication was throughout the week and even received a txt to speak with the manager as we were walking into the showroom for our appointment since he was not available that day. As we were greeted by the manger Bobby Ezharie (Who wouldn't even give me his card- had to find the last name online). We were told that the car that I was interested in was already sold. I asked him that if he was sure since I have been messaging his associates throughout the week and even the day of the appointment. (Somewhat shocking!) The manager was unapologetic towards the situation and only escalated it by spilling legal verbiage of refundable deposits and that communication via txt or phone is not law binding where only in-person first come first serve is the only way to do communication for used vehicles. He (Bobby) was also hostile towards my GF at times and felt deflective. I even looked at the other sales associates to try to calm the manager down since my GF wasn't even involve with this situation and that he should be really communicating with me if he wanted to be hostile. It was an extremely weird and awkward situation to have the customer be more calm than the sales person. I wanted to point out that at this point of time I wasn't even upset about the car, I know you can not conjure up another used vehicle out of thin air and I was more upset at the lack of communication, the feeling of deceit and the wasting of my valuable time. Honestly I just felt a bit jerked around. At this point standing in the middle of the showroom, all I wanted was a sincere apology and maybe a heads up if a similar vehicle was to show up on their lot again. Both of which I did not received from the manager but another sales associate did provide his card and was apologetic. Based on the reaction of the manager, I do feel that he “or his team” had something to hide and that there was some sort of inside awareness to their “regular” customers. I guess that what you get when there is a car that was too good for its price. (Car's price was recently lowered) I just wanted to share my experience at this dealership with everyone and heck congratulation to the person who bought the used car that I saw, it is a good find. You might want to make sure that check engine light warning was taken care of before you picked up the car. (Just a heads up) It is also funny that as I am typing this review up the day after this experience I did not get a txt or message from the original sales associate apologizing to this situation. (SMS / TXTs that was communicated are available to be posted upon request if anyone is interested for verification) More
Exceptional Service Just bought my first new car from Capilano VW and was thrilled with the service. Jason was awesome and answered any questions I had regarding the car, Just bought my first new car from Capilano VW and was thrilled with the service. Jason was awesome and answered any questions I had regarding the car, and even put up with me after hours when I had questions or concerns. When it came down to purchasing the car, I spent quite a while inside the dealership, but everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Financing, insuring, and driving off took some time, but was definitely worth the wait! More

Poor, Poorer, poorest.. You can buy a car here but better take it for service elsewhere!! Operator on phone so disinterested to even answer calls she may as well go sleep. Wh You can buy a car here but better take it for service elsewhere!! Operator on phone so disinterested to even answer calls she may as well go sleep. When referred to someone, all you get is recording. When selling you a car they're all over you but when going for service later it's not the same. They may as well say "see you later alligator" Guess it's the price you have to pay when owner has been making too much money spending his time mostly in Palm Springs. How about hiring a competent manager who can clean things up a little? Very disappointed.... More
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.
