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

Used Golf purchase I had been on the market for a 2015 Golf for a number of months. I contacted Harbourview once I saw the right car on their lot, a 2015 with just over I had been on the market for a 2015 Golf for a number of months. I contacted Harbourview once I saw the right car on their lot, a 2015 with just over 9000km. Right away Chris did an excellent job getting in touch with me and staying in touch. Unlike a number of other VW dealerships who acted relatively uninterested in securing my business, I had the immediate impression that Chris and Harbourview wanted to work for me. He booked an appointment for me to test drive the Golf at my convenience and the Golf was detailed and ready to go for me. After obligatory negotiations, I got the price I wanted without the sales team ever trying to upsell me. Everyone at Harbourview VW exemplified professionalism - kind, honest, and fair. I had an excellent experience buying my first car. More
