Hands down, Platinum is the best Volkswagen dealership on Long Island. This is my second vehicle from Platinum and I continually found myself impressed with the service. My salesman, Joe Riccobene, is always a pleasure to work with. Furthermore, Joe got me into the exact vehicle I wanted, despite the ongoing chip shortage. This is a fair and honest dealership that deserves your business should you be in the market for a Volkswagen!

Honestly, the best car buying experience! I started working with Angela and then finished the deal with Manny. They kept their word on everything, no games and were willing to answer any question.The best part was to see a dealership that really cares about the safety of their customers and team members. Most of the deal was completely remotely and electronically. Since we had agreed on everything prior to, I was in and out of the dealership in 45 minutes.Thank you for such a great experience!!

We had a great experience with Platinum Volkswagen and our sales rep, Vildan Senadam! She was terrific, helpful, and answered all our questions and concerns. We were shown a variety of cars we were deciding between, and her assistance was beneficial. Very professional, not pushy and was there to assist where possible. We compared our quotes to others and other brands. We walked out with our new VW Atlas SEL 2021 and have been happy ever since! Thank you, Platinum VW, and thank you, Vildan Senadam, for our new family car.

Vildan was super helpful! I was juggling a great deal, yet she waited patiently while sharing information on all lease options. This made it smooth once I was able to visit the dealership to return vehicle and pick up the new lease. Thank you for your help!!

Vildan was amazing. She made the entire process memorable.. No game. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, professional, pleasant, helpful, patient and understanding. I was totally very satisfied with her salesmanship and her as a person. I sincerely would recommend Vildan Senadam and Platinum Volkswagen.

My car buying experience was great! I went to window shop and left with a brand new 2021 Tiguan! My salesman (Manny)was awesome every step of the way. I highly recommend Platinum Volkswagon to anyone looking to purchase a Volkswagon👍🏾

*An update to my previous review since the owner has incorrectly responded. After calling Volkswagen customer care, with giving them the same information as the Hicksville representative, they say this policy is extremely incorrect and this location is going to be investigated by Volkswagen customer service for lying and to ensure this does not happen to anyone else.Unfortunately I do have to give in a star in order to post a review, otherwise it would be zero stars. I wanted to bring my car into this location for service in hopes to get my car working properly. After speaking with a representative named Steve, I was lied to and was told that there was a policy that cars older than 10 years, even with multiple recalls, could not be brought in to fix. Luckily after calling Volkswagen customer care and the Lynbrook location, I found out that this policy was a lie and would urge people not to trust this location.

Leandro and the team at Platinum were an absolute pleasure to work with! Everyone pulled together quickly to help me complete my purchase at the end of the day on a Saturday. They were patient, explained everything and everyone was just so nice - and I love my new Tiguan. Highly recommend.

My experience with this dealership was fantastic. My dealer Joe Riccobene, was a professional the whole way through the sale. He was honest and helpful. Everything went through smoothly and I love my new vehicle. I would recommend this dealer to anyone who doesn’t want the hassle of the usual back and forth. Thank you VW and Joe.

Purchased 2 cars from Platinum VW so far and both times was satisfied with the process and the people that worked there. No hidden charges or last minute shenanigans. Honest people.The service department is always trying to help and listens to my concerns and went out of their way to get the repairs done.

Platinum VW was an excellent experience. I contacted several dealerships when I needed a car and they far surpassed the rest. They quickly responded to my calls and texts and sent me the lease info I wanted in writing.No games, no hard sell. Bottom line- *they listened*.I dealt with several people there- Manny, Paul, Bill Q. All professionals who were efficient and didn’t have me hanging around which was my experience in the past at other dealerships.This is a family owned business and is worth the trip if you are looking for a car.

We worked with Paul and Manny. The whole experience was amazingly easy. We did a majority of the lease agreement online and only came in to pick up the car. The information they provided was clear, concise without the usual back and forth weve experienced with other dealierships. I would definitely recommend this dealership!

I just got my first car at Platinum with the amazing help of Joe Riccobene! Joe was very kind, professional, and pleasant to work with. He made this first time process of leasing a car comfortable and straight forward for me. Joe was accommodating to my needs and helped form a deal that I was absolutely pleased with. No buyer’s remorse whatsoever! If you ever go to Platinum, ask for Joe if he’s available.

This is my third lease and one of my leases I decided to purchase. I have worked with Vildan every time and never was sold into anything. I always told her what I was looking for, what I was willing to pay, and she, her finance team, and the owner always helped me and worked in the middle. And even if it didn’t work out at that moment, I always went back within a few months or so and got what I wanted.This is the best dealership (not just VW, but all manufacturers) I have ever been to.I have told everyone that needed a car to seriously consider going to Platinum VW not only because of the dealer, but I like VW cars

I leased a VW Tiguan SE R-Type with Sildan and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. This is the first time I’ve walked into a dealer and they had the exact car in stock, we signed paperwork, and it was prepped and detailed for me to pick up THE VERY SAME DAY! I 1000% recommend Sildan and the rest of the Platinum Volkswagen team for your next car lease or finance!

My wife and I had been multiple dealerships over the course of the weekend looking for a new SUV. We unfortunately ran into a few pushy/ over aggressive dealers. This made us both very uncomfortable .This was not the case at all at Hicksville VW.The woman VIldan who helped us was very much straight forward and extremely accommodating to us.We were instantly comfortable with her. It was clear she wasn’t trying to take advantage and genuinely wanted to help. On top of that she was able to get us into a car that we thought was out of our price rangeAnd did so without breaking the bank.My experience was about as positive as you can have. I absolutely will recommend them to friendsAnd family

Called and started exchanging texts with Angela Munoz. Was interested in leasing an Atlas. She took all my information including pictures of my current registrations. I followed up a few times, she had an excuse every time. It’s the 4th day and still haven’t gotten a response back. Not a great way to do business especially after taking all my personal info.

Picked up my new 2018 Passat from the Platinum crew today and I have to say that it was the most pleasant experience Ive ever had at a dealership. Incredible service and very outgoing staff.

If youre in the market for a new VW, look no further than the team ofprofessionals at Platinum Volkswagen. Ive leased many cars from these folks, so they have had many chances to drop the ball but once again they exceeded my expectations. My most recent sales rep, Vildan Senadam (last two cars) was an absolute pleasure to work with. Vildan responded quickly to my many questions, was polite and made sure I was completely satisfied with my car and lease details. You will also find Platinums service and finance department a pleasure to deal with.So thanks again all for a pleasurable experience!

Today we picked up our 4th leased VW. This is our second time working with the team at Platinum, we are impressed by their professionalism, efficiency and attention to detail. The entire experience from model selection, price and paperwork was flawless.

Best dealership on Long Island! Professional. Helpful. Timely. Accessible. AND CLEAN! During a time when cleanliness and safety protocols needs to be taken seriously, they followed through. I felt comfortable from the minute I received my first email but the comfort didnt stop when I left with my first car. I still relieved an email thanking me for my time and wishing me well! Satisfaction seems to be their top priority and I am SO happy I bought my very first car from them! I was helped by Paul, Manny, and Bill. They were all equally fantastic!

Spoke to Manny about leasing a vehicle. Called a week later because I never heard back and was left on hold. If you don’t want a customer just say so.Thanks for noticing that its the first review I have posted. Clearly I was disgusted with the fact that Manny couldnt even take the time to call or email me back. Very business-like of you to include that!

I absolutely love VW and have been driving them since 2009. This week, I just picked up my FIFTH Jetta from Platinum Volkswagen and am overjoyed by the whole experience. I filled out a very short and easy application online, told Joe Riccobene, who I’ve been dealing with for almost a decade, what color I wanted on the exterior and the interior, and he had it delivered to Platinum and then sent me a video of my beautiful new 2020 Jetta SEL. I set a time to pick it up, and I was in and out of the dealership in about 15 minutes. The reason I keep going back is because the owner Josh, and Joe make it so simple and enjoyable throughout the whole process. You can tell that they truly care about the relationship they build with their clients. The service department is also top notch and in April I needed my oil changed. They came and picked up my car and serviced it and brought it back. Both the dealership and the service department are always pristinely clean, but it’s so nice to feel truly safe and comfortable and they go above and beyond to make sure that do the very best they can to please their clients. I say clients because you aren’t just a number to them but rather a member of the Platinum family and there is nothing like that nowadays. I will continue to go back again and again, and if you’re looking for a car, trust me, Platinum VW is where you should go.

Start to finish Platinum Volkswagen was a pleasure to deal with. I knew exactly what I was looking for. I called sales and was put in touch with Vildan, she made it so easy. Previously had been dealing with other Volkswagen dealerships in the area who were rude and not getting back to me in a timely manner. With Vildan, I was able to get the exact car I wanted for a great price and wrap up the whole deal in 1 day. I picked up the car a few days later. In person, everyone was just as lovely as they had been on the phone. I am very happy with my Atlas lease and no question, I will go back to them in the future

Just go somewhere else. They don’t know what customer service is. I purchased a 2021 Atlas on April 3, 2021. As soon as I got home, I noticed two deep scratches on the glove box/passenger’s side dashboard. Additionally, The molding on the driver’s side was peeling off. I immediately emailed the sales rep with the pictures. He stated that he would notify his manager. I contacted the sales rep every week. He told me “sorry for the inconvenience, someone will reach out to you.” No one ever did. Finally, today I reached out to the sales rep via text. He responded as if he had no idea what I was talking about. He then went on to accuse me of causing the damage and stated “pay for the damage that you caused.” I was also told that I was acting like a child. I never mentioned anything about who should pay for it and I never blamed anyone for the damage. I missed it when I picked the car up. I acknowledge that but I definitely did not cause the damage. A company committed to customer service would say, “no problem sir, bring it in and we will take care of it.” I am disgusted by the treatment I received. Based on the other reviews I see here, it is obvious that they do not take responsibility for anything and bully their customers. I can’t wait to see the negative response that the owner writes and the allegations they make against me. This seems to be a pattern by this dealership. I’d be more than happy to post the entire text exchange which would be quite embarrassing for a company that is allegedly committed to customer service. The way I was treated is not the way you treat a customer. I would have gladly bought another car from this dealership had I been treated with respect and dignity. The text messages I received repeatedly accused me of “blaming” the dealership when I did no such thing. It’s such a minor issue that could have been easily corrected and I would have been satisfied. Platinum VW does not have a monopoly on VW sales on Long Island. Do yourself a favor and drive to the next VW dealership.** The response below from the dealership is just as I expected. They have a pattern of this behavior. I notified the sales rep on the date of delivery. He responded by writing via email, “I will forward this message to my manger and we will go from there. I apologize for the inconvenience.” The sales rep probably didn’t notify anyone and hoped that I would go away. All of this is documented via text and e-mail. I will share the insulting text messages I received from your sales rep. This is not how a moral establishment does business. This is not how you get customers to come back and buy additional cars and utilize your service department. I have been in weekly contact with the sales rep since the purchase. He stated that someone would reach out to me. No one ever did. Then today he goes on a rant insulting me and telling me to find a new dealership- ok, will do.** I notified the sales rep on 4/3, the date of purchase. I never blamed or accused anyone. I believed it was an honest oversight. The dealership is now fabricating lies and engaging in the defamation of my character. I have had a cordial relationship with the sales rep until he began to insult me. Posting lies is not professional.** Just as predicted- when this dealership receives a negative review, they bully you and make up lies to justify their poor customer service. Look at all of the negative reviews- all met with the same vitriol from the owner. From the owner!!! I don’t care if they fixed it or not but they should have told me that on day 1. Instead, they strung me along pretending someone would contact me while hoping I go away. If you don’t go away they shout you down, make up lies and insult you. I never accused anyone as alleged by the owner. He further lied by writing that when I didn’t get my way, I attempted to abuse a sales rep. What does that even mean and when did that happen? That is considered libel. All of my contact has been via text and email. Owner is extremely unprofessional.

Just left the showroom driving my 5th leased car from Platinum Volkswagen. Now I have a very beautiful new Jetta and yet another perfect customer experience. By that I mean its always a seamless process thanks to the smartest and kindest sales professional I ever worked with, Joe Riccobene. It begins with the first reminder/ Hows everything? Lets catch up! phone call as my lease draws to a close, then to the showroom where owner Josh Lever and Joe meet me with warm greetings. We catch up on our lives, Im given all my car choices as well as the latest developments at VW and in the industry. When I return to pick up my car Joe does a painlessly swift completion of paperwork and a thorough tutorial of the car. Before I foundPlatinum I tried the other VW dealers in Long Island. None compare to Platinum. Ifintegrity, professionalism and the desire to treat customers as valued friends over a lifetime are important dealership qualities for you, do not hesitate to buy or lease your next VW from Platinum and become part of their valued family of customers.

Had an unfortunate run-in with a pothole early this morning on my 2020 Arteon (which I love) and brought the wheel into Platinums service department shortly after. I am from out of state so it was my first experience with them. David and the rest of the friendly staff were spot on and solved my problem faster than I could have anticipated. Given the difficulties of providing service in this current environment, I appreciate the prompt, professional service I received.

My fiancé and I had an amazing experience at platinum VW. We called to make an appointment and Paul was patient and kind from the beginning. He explained the different makes and models of the car we were looking to get. The time and date we wanted an appointment we’re available with no issue. On the day of the appointment we were greeted by Paul and then passed over to Vildan. Let me just say she was AMAZING. Extremely helpful and nice. We test drove our vehicle and then started the process to lease. Vildan helped us every step of the way from explaining the contract to even calling our insurance company for us. I cannot say enough great things about platinum VW and our experience. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!!

From the moment we talked to Kadeem on the phone we felt like we were going to be met by someone familiar, unlike the typical car salesman. We went in looking at buying the new 2019 Tiguan, we test drove it with Kadeem and he knew exactly what we were looking for and made sure we felt like we were getting what we wanted and not just pushed to buy a vehicle. It felt like we knew each other for years from the moment he started going over the Tiguan. It was truly a pleasure working with Kadeem and the Platinum Volkswagen team in Hicksville. We couldnt be happier with our purchase and cant wait to take it coast to coast this summer!

Really painless purchasing experience buying a used Tiguan. I love the car. We really should’ve done our homework when financing the car, Volkswagen charges a ridiculous interest rate that compounded monthly. So either A: pay off your car as quickly as you can, or B: refinance it through a third party if your interest rates are nearly 6%. Otherwise we got a top quality used car (hard to find, some are in accidents, smoked in, need mechanical work, etc.) that we’ve loved.

My experience with Platinum Volkswagen was nothing but terrible. When it was time for me to turn in my lease no one told me I needed an inspection In order to turn in. Luckily I called a month before my turn in date and found out. Unlucky for me the soonest they had available for inspection was 7 days after my lease turn in date. No one was able to help me or accommodate this situation. I was on the phone a few times with Jennifer and she was extremely rude and uninformative. I felt trapped in my lease and it was as if no one was nice to me because I wasn’t releasing with VW. My inspection date finally came and I called platinum to schedule a turn in. Jennifer told me to come between a certain time frame. That was it. No one told me you had to turn in to a different location or had to bring certain paperwork with you. Had to find that out the day of when I already showed up to the wrong place and without the paperwork. But Jennifer insisted on arguing with me that she did. The lack of customer service was appalling and for that I will never lease with platinum Volkswagen again.

I have been to about four dealerships before coming across Platinum Volkswagen! Thanks to Louis Velasquez he made our experience as first time buyers the most comfortable and easiest that I have dealt with, first he didn’t give us the go around sales pitch which turned me off at every other dealership before, he took what I said to him regarding my budget and didn’t waste my time trying to sell me something way out of budget. I can’t say enough good things about Louis he really is a patient and informative salesperson. Don’t think twice about heading over to Platinum Volkswagen, all around the staff at Platinum Volkswagen have a pleasant demeanor, but from my encounter ask for Louis and experience the ease of leasing, purchasing, or financing a car without all the extra BS. Thank you Louis! And thank you Platinum Volkswagen!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Joe R. from Platinum VW. I was in the market for a new lease of a VW Atlas. I was at the end of my Infiniti QX60 lease and was shopping numbers at various VW dealerships.My first stop was to their website, which was extremely intuitive. I spoke with a customer coordinator via a chat system, explained what I was looking for and asked for next steps. The representative assured me that she would put me in contact with someone from the dealership. 20 mins later I received a call from Joe. He is such a nice man, not pushy, just listened to my needs and asked what did I need from the vehicle. At this point I was really only interested in captain chairs. Joe said he would get back to me with numbers.At this point I was getting the run around a from numerous dealerships that would only provide numbers if “I came in to speak with a salesman”. With how things are post-COVID, I did not think it was a huge deal to get simple numbers via either phone or email.Joe came back to me within an hour with solid competitive numbers and advised me that they were waiting for a shipment of cars, so it could be a couple of days. I asked joe to send me the deal in writing in the interim, to discuss it with my wife. After discussing the terms and looking at other dealer supplied numbers I knew Joe and Platinum earned our business.To my surprise, Joe reached out to me the following morning to tell me not only did the vehicle I was interested in came in a week earlier, but it was heavily optioned and they would honor the original prices quoted.It was at this point that I asked Joe for next steps and he sent me the credit app via email. I promptly filled it out and had a firm deal within a matter of hours. I took delivery of my car the following day and was impressed on how seamless the entire experience was. I was delivered a vehicle in less than 20 mins.Joe and Platinum not only over provided on the dealership experience, but they have earned a customer for life.The not only had extremely competitive numbers, the transaction process was easy and pressure free and delivery was a breeze.Kudos to both Joe and Platinum for making the leasing process easy!

I am now on my 3rd lease from Platinum VW and I couldn’t be happier. Within a few days, we had a car delivered to our driveway with minimal work on our side. Our salesperson, Joe, also called our car insurance company for us. I had a moment of lapse of judgement and called a competitor to lease from them in hopes of a 2019, but they did not compare to the service we get at Platinum. Nor did they compare in price! And, they insisted that all deals needed to be in their dealership with an appointment. This just solidified our loyalty with Platinum- they are just good people... honest and accommodating. Thank you so very much.

Purchasing my Golf R from Platinum Volkswagen was an absolute pleasure. The saleswoman Vildan was amazing to deal with. She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. Bill in financing was also extremely helpful offering plenty of options to get me behind the wheel of my new car. They turned a potentially stressful time into a great one. Thanks again Platinum Volkswagen!

Where to start! I had such a great experience at this dealership. I had the pleasure of working with Vildan. She was amazing from beginning to end. She made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. Its easy to feel pressured at dealerships but not at Platinum. Vildan explained everything to me and we made great deal that fit my needs. Vildan was amazing and honest about all costs and what was needed. Honesty goes a long way and that is what you will get from this dealership. I am so happy to have Vildan as a friend now and I will definitely recommend this dealership to anyone, and definitely ask for Vildan.

I just purchased a Volkswagen Jetta from Platinum VW and it is the second car I purchased from this dealer. The total experience was so pleasurable and they are by far the nicest dealership and best to deal with in my opinion. Manny Lucas, my sales associate was great. He was honest, patient and a pleasure to deal with. He never once pressured us or gave us any sales pitch. The finance manager, Bill was great. He didnt try to sell us anything extra and the numbers were exactly what me and Manny agreed on. This is the second car weve purchased from Platinum in less than 2 years and truthfully, its probably the only place Ill go to again. It is a great feeling to buy a new car and an even better feeling to leave feeling satisfied with the overall experience. Thanks Manny and everyone at Platinum for an amazing car buying experience. I highly recommend this dealership!

This dealership is so easy to work with and never felt that there was pressure to buy. Everyone was so accommodating especially my sales representative, Louis Velasquez. He was so genuine, knowledgeable and patient while working with me and he made it such a great experience. Everything was an easy smooth and process with him that now I have very high standards for dealerships. I would recommend Louis and Platinum Volkswagen to anyone looking to buy or lease a car, since my experience with them was so wonderful.

**UPDATE** See below the defamatory statement Platinum VW is saying... I had a suspended license? Where do you make this stuff up!Do not use Platinum VW. Josh Lever the owner is nasty. Called and threatened me to come see him. Josh Lever is a nasty, vile, disgusting human.

A couple of months ago I started looking for a new car for my mother who hates car shopping so I decided to take on the load for her, especially with Covid and her being imunocompromised. After talking to some other salespeople I was recommended Joe at Platinum Volkswagen by a co-worker whos whole family had purchased their cars from him. From the first time we spoke Joe was thoughtful and listened. He did not ever try to oversell me and he always recommended appropriate options based on what we spoke about. He worked with my schedule and tracked down the exact model, color, and package I wanted. This is my 5th time buying a car and this was by far the best experience Ive ever had! Thanks Joe and Platinum for putting my mom in the right car for her that she loves!

We worked with Vildan to buy our new Jetta. The process started with an enquiry online. Vildan was very helpful over the phone and by emails throughout the process. In this pandemic, I dont think the experience could have been better than this. We had visited few other dealerships with other brands but I must say Platinum did a great job. We are very happy with our purchase and would recommend Platinum.

This is the 3rd car Ive been involved with through Platinum VW. I have found Joe Ricobenne the sales rep to be honest and delivers on his promises. I strongly recommend this dealership. I also recommend VWs!

Our sales consultant Kadeem Lewis provided my husband and I the best customer service compared to visiting five other dealerships. He was honest, knowledgeable, professional and respectful of our time. We ended up getting the Atlas, and the entire transaction was favorable and hassle free. We would highly recommend Mr. Lewis and this dealership.

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with Platinum VW! The entire process was very easy from start to finish. No stress, no nonsense, and done quickly. Vildan was great with us. She had everything prepared quickly and knew exactly what she was doing. I would definitely recommend Platinum VW to anyone. Not to mention our Tiguan that we are extremely happy with. What a great vehicle!!! Shop VW, shop Platinum! ❤️

Couldn’t ask for a more seemless, pleasant experience during these covid19 restrictions than dealing with Platinum Volkswagon in general and Sales Consultant Joe Riccobene in particular. Joe is truly an assest to this dealership with his personable demeanor and his knowledge of his product. He was greatly accessible and went out of his way to present is with our best options. From pick to signing it took a day and a half! And Joe couldn’t have been more helpful.

I am giving a shout out to Vildan Senadam from Platinum. Extremely courteous and professional! Although I didnt lease my car from them, due to the fact that their showroom was closed during Covid-19, she worked very hard to inform me about the car and their pipeline. Very transparent in pricing. If I would have stopped by to their showroom and met Vildan, I am quite sure I would have closed the deal with them.

We just bought our second car with Platinum Volkswagen and, again, had a great overall experience. John was friendly and knowledgeable, Adam and Bill helped us through the finances, and Jim was very thorough with his tutorial of the car’s new technology. The vibe of the dealership is welcoming with no pressure, which is a nice change from most other places. We’ll definitely be back.

My family had a great experience at Platinum and we’re very pleased with the service we received. This was a first experience for my daughter as she was purchasing her first car. Vildan provide exceptional customer service from the first phone call to the last text days after to find out how shes enjoying her New Jetta. Vildan kept in touch throughout the process and even go above and beyond to seek valid information to share. As a mother I greatly appreciate Vildan kindness, concern, and advice to my daughter and overall my family. I will definitely recommend as well do business at Platinum and Vildan again. We felt valued as a customer and to me thats what exceptional customer service must do to a customer.

Bill Q and his sales team are the best! They are personable, and for the past 7 years customer service has only gotten greater. It’s hard to find people that you can trust and that actually put the customer first. Anyone can sale a car but when you care about what your doing this is what a loyal customer looks for. I found that trust at Platinum. I will forever remain LOYAL. I love my new car! ❤️

We were looking for a family car after doing some research we contacted Vildan Senadam in sales and she set up a time for us to come in and look at one of the Atlas crossport we ended up changing the vehicle before we came in and she was very helpful in helping us get what we wanted. We are very happy with our new crossport.

Platinum Volkswagen located off of West Old Country Road has a lot of inventory to choose from. All of the staff are courteous and professional. I have never been in and out of a dealership and hassle free in under 15 minutes just executing the paperwork.The sales consultant manager (Luca) went over my new vehicle with me.It was a tremendous experience this is my 6th lease with Volkswagen and my first experience with Platinum. If your interested in a Volkswagen Platinum Volkswagen is the place for your next purchase or lease!

Amazing service!!! Everything was explained in great detail. Everyone at Platinum Volkswagen goes all out to make you feel valued. Jims knowledge of everything that goes on inside the vehicle is exceptional ! Now My salesman Doc, what can I say? He makes the sale completely painless. He is friendly, attentive and makes your test drive a pleasant experience. Josh, the owner greets you with a big smile and makes you feel like you are family visiting! If you are in the market for a new VW... this is your place ! ~Veronica Rich

I have purchased 5 cars from this dealership. I just returned a leased 2016 Tiguan and had the most horrible experience involving the owner of the dealership. The dealership requires the condition report to be handed in at time of turn-in. The report was 3 pages in length, the first-page showing charges for damages and the last two pages were boilerplate in nature (nothing specific to my car) I had the first page which showed there were no charges for damages to the vehicle however I did not have the last 2 pages. The two women at the front desk refused to take the car back without the last 2 pages. Frustrated, I asked to speak with a manager. No sooner had I asked when a man appeared out of nowhere and was in my face yelling at me and telling me to leave the dealership - effectively throwing me out. He accused me of cursing at the front desk staff and told me that would not be tolerated. I told him all I did was ask to speak with a manager and that I had not cursed at his staff. He then went on to yell at me and tell me he was the owner and there was no one else I could complain to. My wife asked if we could call the inspection company and have the entire report sent over. When she got the inspection company on the phone they were surprised at what was happening and told my wife to put the staff on the phone so she could educate them on how they can access the report. I have never been spoken to in such a harsh, rude, obnoxious, demeaning manner and I can assure you I will never purchase another car from this dealership again! Wow... losing a 5 car customer - shame on you!
