Great customer service!

Service department , front desk and service members are provided perfect customer service. Thanks members,

Tracey and Marion provided superb customer service. Tracy gave me great pointers on how to save money and knew a great deal about my vehicle. I went in for an oil change.

I am very disappointed in Auto Nation Dealership and the General Manager Brad. I purchased a brand new 2019 VW Tiguan several months ago while in GA. It had a small ding on the door. We took a picture so they had record. They told me their ding guy wasn’t in that day and that they would get someone in Ohio to fix it for me. I have called and called and called and to this day they have not taken care of this small ding in my passenger side. I am so disappointed.

The fact that I purchased a car there 90 days ago and have only been driving it 60 days and I am basically out of a car at this point and still stuck with a car note and insurance to pay baffles me...The sales man was wonderful but failed to tell me that after I purchased the car that I was pretty much on my own with repairs...When I first purchased the car it took almost 2 weeks to fix what I was told were minor repairs to a light...Then After I drove the car for a couple days the air went out...Truthfully they fixed it but not without me having to push for it to be done... I was told that wasn't in my packet...At that time I thought what do you mean I just baught this car I haven't even driven it for a month...Fast forward to now...I can't even drive this car with out jumping it off and I was told pretty much it's my car there not responsible...And I'm thinking so yall just sold me a pretty piece of Trash... Remember I've only been the owner of this car for 90days and I've only driven it for 2months....I trusted these people...I am a single parent that works 2 jobs & to have to deal with this is upsursde in my Opinion they really need to do better...So No I don't recommend these people...Their all smiles when you walk in the door but I guess it's there job...

These mechanics only know how to replace parts. They can’t even bench test a coil. Even auto zone employees are capable of something that simple. I thought I would be bringing my vehicle to professionals. Extremely let down. AutoNation just wants money. Don’t trust them.

Needs to retrain the service advisors and managers. They openly lie to you saying shop fees are a govt mandated charge 😂 but I could get over that, they also misquoted how much an oil change and fuel filter would be by $70, when I asked for a refund it has now taken 6 days and I have not received it. The worst is I paid in cash, the manager wasn't there and had to approve a refund on a Saturday, then the manager had to send it to the accounting office on Monday. So now it's Friday and I still don't have my money. A different Autonation but they are all the same. Stay away from Autonation they do everything they can to keep your money and you have to jump through 20 hoops to get them to do anything.

Well let's see, I purchased a Audi Q7 20 days ago. It just rolled 25,000 miles on it today as I was in Birmingham. So it broke down on me and it got to watch the tow truck haul it 113 miles to my home..I got to walk 7 blocks in the 90+degree heat to a rental car place so I could get home from the Hospital. You can imagine how happy I am with my purchase and Service...oh the Service manager was supposed to call me "shortly"..hmmm 2 hours later and still no phone call. This is my second purchase from AutoNation...There will not be a 3rd one. Thanks AutoNation. 20 days and I am out of a vehicle...that has to be a record. It almost made it to the 1st payment...WOW.....

I had an 0800 appointment and it took two and a half hours to change a lightbulb and try to find out why my seatbelt sensor continually comes on . The outcome was they never found out.

We have taken our 2014 Beetle to Autonation VW - Columbus, GA on two occasions. The first time was due to the infotainment system changing settings all buy itself, luckily for us the car was still under warranty. The dealer had the car for a few days, during this time they left the doors open, key on, etc...so the battery drained down and needed replaced. THE DEALER CHARGED US for that...and for gasoline consumed on a 45 minute test drive....!!! The second time we took the Beetle in was for a recall for the panoramic sunroof, they had to change out the glass. When we picked the car up there was dirt inside (we thoroughly cleaned the car the day prior) and a technician left some tools on the center console. While I think their actual repair work is competent, I am not overly impressed that the vehicle is returned to us with dirt and tools in it. Nor have I ever forgot about them making us pay for a new battery that THEY ran down to nothing, and also charging us for the gasoline consumed on a test drive for an issue that was covered under warranty. We have bought many new VW's and Audi's over the years, but in the future will be considering other brands.

great service, had to make adjustments to my car and they did what was needed, a bit pricey but very professional, recommend if you need work on your car.

Haven’t had a bad experience yet! Thanks! :)

Very helpful and knowledgeable. No wait time Got me and out in a timely manner.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. I’ve never in my whole life had a deal better then what they offered me today. I got the max for my trade in and plenty of money off my new vehicle purchase. Very clean facility, friendly family feeling attitudes from Every employee i came across. Special Shout out to my sales manager Brandon and my sales rep Joey for an outstanding experience nobody can touch these guys in Columbus hands down... I wish this place the best and I hope everyone gets the opportunity of a excellent experience that I received today I will Be back again!!!!...AMAZING DEALERSHIP KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

We found a truck online, it appeared to be a good looking vehicle, by the photo, but when we arrived the sale person made us aware that it was a wise vehicle to purchase. So why is it up for sale? This could have save me some time, and a hard hit on my credit. Not pleased at all!!!

Doc feels are too high

Bryce and advisors will treat you like you dont have common sense until their senses pick up that you do. Then, you start hearing friendly comments. It's all to sway you into doing something redundant towards your issue. Which means they don't necessarily fix the issue.

Very satisfied scheduled service. The service representative was ready for my visit and kept me informed while I waited for my car.

Great helpful and friendly staff. Very helpful when searching for a new or used vehicle.

Make sure to check EVERYTHING (as suppose to) before driving off the lot; they will work with you if need be (transportational wise) but if you have an issue(s) with your ride get with Mr. Bryce! Awesome young man! Need Credit assistance Only $29 this month ($49 next month) FREE Consultation, No Contract nor Hidden Fees I'm ready to assist you!

They forgot to rotate my tires, saying: "customer declined a tire rotation and balance.

Just had a battery replaced, little hang up in the process of a bad battery installed. No faught of the service department. Just took a little while.

Very, very good,, the service was fast,, and the people were so very kind

After two automatic cancellations Zack in the service department was able to get me in.

Would give it a lower review if I could. After buying a vehicle that had “the auto nation promise” on it it turned out to be the biggest hunk of junk. Issues after issues. After less then 2 months of owning it it needed the entire oil system rebuilt. Not to mention they sold me a 6 month 6k warranty for $3000. MY CURRENT HONDA WARRANTY WAS 5 years 56xxx for $2200. I had to get legal assistance to get away from this poor excuse of a dealership. The manager ken or whatever was the rudest & most unfit to lead a circus. Know several other people who have had nothing but issues from this place.

My dad traded his car and got an SUV. Thanks for working with my dad. Good customer service.

Very nice salesman, but the financial manager was hard to deal with. Talked to me like I was a fool. I went in with CASH to buy a Benz and he wouldn't even waive processing fees even though I would have required NO financing. Went down the street and got a great deal on a better Benz and drove away in less than an hour.

Joey and Brandon are the absolute best! They worked with us over 2 days and were so patient. That weekend my husband and I both left with new cars. Would give 10 stars if possible. Go see those guys next time you're looking for a vehicle!

Purchased the 2019 Passat R-Line edition on 3/2/19 and really like the styling, but that is where it ends. Three days after purchasing the vehicle, the remote start stopped working. There is a software flaw where the remote timer doesn't reset after starting the car, so once you've reached an "overall total" of twenty minutes the remote start never works again, as it is awaiting on an “input signal” that the car has been started non-remotely. Autonation said it is Volkswagen's problem and VW Customer Care said they know about the problem but they do not have a fix for it and that its basically my problem because it does not meet the guidelines for lemon law or VW’s policy to take the vehicle back. They said they are not pulling these vehicles from the lots because it is not a safety or mechanical issue but the dealerships are not disclosing this information either. VW Customer Care offered me $100 gift card and said they do not know when a fix will be released. Buy something else, and steer clear of VW. What good is a 7 year warranty, if they are selling cars that can't be fixed?

YOU ALL HAVE HELPED ME GET THE CAR OF MT DREAMS AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ESPECIALLY TO JEWEL GRIFFIN . She let me know everything I would need in advance before I even pulled up so that way then I came I came prepared . She worked with me , she even stayed late for me and I really appreciate it .

I received the recall notice for my drivers side airbag. I called and made an appointment for 3/19. On 3-18, I received a call confirming my appointment. I did not listen to the voice mail indicating that my appointment would be cancelled if I did not call back until much later in the day due to appointments. I received an email canceling my appointment. I rescheduled the appointment for 3/25 at 8:30 am. I received a confirmation phone call on 3/23 during which I spoke to and confirmed my appointment. On 3/25, I awoke at 5:30 a.m. and left my home at 7 am for my RESCHEDULED and CONFIRMED appointment. At 7:50 am, I received a phone call indicating that they did not have the airbag and my appointment was cancelled after I had driven for almost an hour. This is disappointing. I will not return to this dealership and am not purchasing anymore Volkswagens.

I was disappointed that the"minimum required services for warranty" included multiple services that were not actually requires but recommended. Luckily, I spotted the asterisks beside those services that were not required and read the footnote. Not having those performed saved me a couple hundred dollars.

Just had water pump an timing belt change, an coolant leak fixed.took here just to have a couple of lug nuts removed, 5 minutes after leaving car smoking ,overheated, took to my macanhic, said heater core hose appeared to be pulled off, wow, sevicse techs there are on commission, won't ever go bsck

This service department of this Dealership has been the absolute worst to deal with. I dropped my car off on February 12th and was told it'll be checked out by the afternoon of the 13th. I called on the 14th since I had not received a status update and I was told they hadn't looked at it yet. But itll be checked out by Friday. So I called the following Tuesday and at this point I'm no longer even given a date. All I get is "we dont know when we'll get a chance to look at it." This is becoming beyond ridiculous. My insurance company is becoming frustrated at the time its taking to just recieve a repair quote!! Not even to fix the car yet. The service department is also giving VW of America the run around. Today VWoA called me again and I got "the techs out today and nobody has information on your vehicle". It cant be that hard to inform your customer about the status of their car, and instead of setting unrealistic expectations.... let them know itll be a while so they understand.

Very helpful staff. Worked with me to find the perfect used vehicle under my budget.

I have a 2009 EOS. The worst choice ever. Been in the shop since 2015. Check engine problems constantly. Techs do not know how to resolve issues in an acceotable realistic timeframe. My car has been in Auto Nation for 15 weeks. They don't take ur calls. They DONT return ur calls. Excuses one after another. Far beyond professional.

Love it!

Jarrett is WONDERFUL. Everyone here was so very kind and attentive!!!

Long wait time for car. Just got a oil change.

Love my new Atlas, professional staff that really let's you feel at home with no pressure.

Attempted to buy a used car. Was lied to multiple times over a week about it before I stopped dealing with them.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff, I always feel comfortable know that my car is in good hands.

Refuse to allow them to work on my 2012 VW Passet again. To much upselling, no focus on the task at hand. Took it in to have two rear brake light bulbs replaced. I bought the bulbs and could not complete the install due to tight space. When we checked out we had no turn signals on the front. The service writer played stupid, and acted like the dealership “owed us one next time”. They will not get the opportunity to work in the vehicle again. We were there for 4 hours to have bulbs replaced with a 8am appointment. Unbelievable. Why This dealership begged me to do this survey blows my mind. But here you go! I know how they operate based off in person interaction with other customers over the 4 hours we waited. Not many folks leaving happy.

Drove an hour and got my car serviced. I pulled in and was greeted with a smile and every individual throughout the entire process was professional and cared. I was there for several hours because my car had several issues and they (Mr.James Robbins) kept me informed the entire time. One of the best car experiences I've had ever. Needless to say an hour drive was worth it.

After having a poor experience at Rivertown GMC, which includes the sales persons lack of vehicle knowledge and desire to sell a vehicle we went straight to AutoNation Volkswagen. David Westmoreland understood our needs and quickly helped us. His professionalism and desire to get us in and out was greatly appreciated!

Just bought my wife a VW Atlas from AutoNation Columbus. Best car buying experience I've ever had. Very professional, knowledgeable, and competitive pricing. Went back and forth with other dealerships and AutoNation Columbus was the only one that could find everything we wanted for the price we wanted to pay. Very pleased with our experience!

Customer Service was horrible this time. After picking up the vehicle, I handed off the vehicle to my wife and daughter. Shortly after my wife called in a very upset manner complaining about a loud bumping sound and the car loosing traction/control. While taking on the phone, the bumping sound was loud enough to hear over the phone. After returning the car to autonation, it became immediately clear that rim bolts were not tightened. It took another couple days to return the car (lost two paid work hours picking the car up the first time, and two paid hours re-picking up the car after the tire incident). Also, my wife and daughters life was in imminant danger due to the service departments negligence. When seeking recompensation for this event, I was only offered 3 oil changes (which is redundant, as I already have oil changes accounted for, from when i purchased the car). I will be seeking further legal actions, to include recommending autonation Volkswagen be put on a banned list for Fort Benning Soldiers. I would not recommend this auto sales location to anyone. I would like to speak with a GM or someone of authority that could remedy this situation.

It’s not Michael doing nothing he service I would appreciate you getting it right

This is the best dealership I have ever experienced and I have experienced many. Awesome sales people, awesome staff in general. I highly recommend Columbus Volkswagon-AutoNation. I'll be back and my family as well.

Too tight in there.

Good place

Service department. Had hoses left unattached and other parts literally fall off while driving away from the service dept. Guys this happened not once but twice and luckily was only at 25 MPH, had control and was able to pull off on the side of the ramp, just before getting onto the interstate.

Great service department, Great customer service experience. Go see Joey McLendon for a great vehicle and experience

Good sales people very nice and good cars

Service department is really laid-back and cool. Parking lot is a bit tight, but good people, and good service.

Nothing hardly in stock and over priced.

Excellent service! Every time that I’ve taken my beetle for service, the staff has been very friendly and helpful.

I love my new Jetta! The folks at AutoNation Volkswagen Columbus went above and beyond to find the perfect car for me!

What I thought was a good buying experience turned out not to be very good at all. After a few weeks of having my 2012 VW Jetta, I start getting text messages from the salesman wanting me to unlock my credit saying that it needed to remain unlocked for about 30 days. Unknowingly, I unlocked it but then begin to question it. If the deal was done and I was to start making payments soon, then why did my credit need to remain unlocked and why was hard inquiries still being made? Well, to make a long story shorter, I texted the salesman to explain this to me and he replied that he'd get the dealership manager to call me the next day. When the manager called, he told me that the deal wasn't set in stone and claimed that the initial finance company dropped me so they had to have me come back in and resign another contract with another finance company with a higher interest rate but for a longer period (66 months instead of 60 months) plus an extra 45 days before my 1st payment would be due. I did sign another contract because I needed the vehicle but not before I got conformation that the new finance company was legit. My advice to everyone out there is to just be vigilant and know your credit and already have a loan in place to buy a vehicle.

My time at AutoNation Volkswagen was great customer service was awesome,when service is needed on my Passat that's where I'll be going ,Thanks AutoNation

I just had my Jetta TDI Recall done and so far I work fine. They did a great job on it.

On my way to visit my daughter and family at Fort Benning I had stopped for gas south of Atlanta, the car started misbehaving. Immediately thought I had gotten bad fuel, then the check engine light came on. Not knowing anybody in the area I opted to have my cat towed to a Volkswagen dealer. My choices were Atlanta or Columbus Georgia. I had really hoped to have the car fixed and back on Saturday but that was impossible, all appointments for Saturday were filled. I was told that the best to hope for was late Monday or Tuesday. I had no choice but to rent a car to get back home to North Carolina. On Tuesday I was called and given the diagnosis, vacuum hose had come off and would need to be replaced as well as the spark plugs which I immediately told them to fix. The cost was very reasonable and repair was complete. I am going ,today to pick up my car and have another visit with my family. These folks could have ripped me off but didn't, for this I am grateful and I would recommend the service department at AutoNation to anyone. Thank you for Everything!

UPDATE: Given the # to contact GM so we'll see what happens. However he told the svc dept he wanted to speak to him and they were to pass the message on. GM has never called him. My son's car is in for service on his 2012 VW CC. Had a diagnostics run on the machine which, from my understanding of the situation, is especially for VW vehicles. Keeps being told they "think" it MIGHT be this problem but after supposedly fixing it, same problem during test drive. Then they "think" it MIGHT be that problem with same results after supposedly fixing it. I don't understand how this expensive diagnostics is run it doesn't show the problem. When called on all the guessing as to the cause of the problem they get very offended about all the part changes but don't seem to have the technical no how to fix it. Called in after several days and he's assured vehicle is ready even when he checked back with them to be sure. I take him in and wait to be sure. He didn't even get to Veteran's Pkwy before same problem crops up. Goes back in to service dept and they decide to try another fix. After waiting for a good while and no fix (they would test drive and same problem) we finally left. He did some online research and saw lots of posts by people having the same problem with this vehicle saying VW can't figure out a fix. This is very discouraging. He is still driving my car because after a week no resolution.

Best service team around!

Had to come pick up some parts for a job I was doing, Shelby the lady at the parts counter, is fantastic!! We were having issues with my CC and she kept trying to figure out what was wrong, eventually we got it to go through. The staff here is hands down the friendliest group I've dealt with and I've come from the AutoNation family from previous employment and they really are next level. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone with a VW.

The staff is truly exceptional. They got my car in at the last minute and serviced it up until closing time. The service person, Bryson, made frequent calls to inform me on the status of my car. He even offered a military discount for my service to our country.

Top notch Service, i had my car towed in after i hit some debris in the road. They replaced my tire and identified that the debris had struck the rear tire as well. I had all 4 tires replaced. Thank you Frankie, Bryce, and the Technican they call "Kid". Great job guys...

Purchased a 2017 Jetta. Great experience, #1 sale associate all around wonderful deal! Will be dealing with them again for a future vehicle.

Good service, my second visit

Every inspection item checked "O.K." even though my washer fluid was totally out and my tires were not that good. I can't trust their inspection. TPMS warning light in my instrument panel was on right after I picked my car up. It was 50,000 miles service.

I am always given an appointment in a timely manner. The staff are friendly and I do believe they try to be accommodating. However, it is not fair to be told an apt will be a length of time, and EVERY time ends up being at least an hour or so longer than what we're told. I would suggest clients be told a time much longer than the staff anticipates. This would result in fewer frustrated clients being told incorrectly and ruining daily plans. I have even had to pull my car out of service and leave because of inappropriate promises.

Scheduled a appointment on 06/15/2018 at 7:30 am with service department to have ignition switch and cylinder installed. Prior to appointment I informed the department of the current condition that the previous mechanic had left the car in. I called to make sure that the car was there within the set appointment time which was confirmed by service department. I was told that it was a 2 to 3 hours job and it would be at least $85 to $130 to put everything that previous mechanic did not. I did not receive a call from service department again reassuring that the estimated price of the service was in fact correct. On 06/16/2018 I called around lunchtime 12:18 to be exact to see if the services would be complete. I spoke with Jeremy and he confirmed that they were “going to start working on it “, and would call when the service was complete. I did not receive a call back from them informing me of the service and there department closed at 5pm so now I have to wait until Monday 06/18/2018 to see when I will get my car this is very unprofessional on there part.

I just purchased the 3rd Jetta from what is now AutoNation Volkswagon. Previously Carl Gregory VW. Shopping experience was good. Handled quickly. The car I wanted was out of town. They found it and had it delivered as promised. I dealt with Joey McClendon. It's just nature of the beast but I don't like the high turnover in the car sales business.

Complete garbage dealership.. Didn't know service policy. Car was over one hour late into service. Second time of rude and inept service. Never again going back.

For all you guys at Ft. Benning, IMSOs this place is great! They have one of the best customers services that i have experienced in my life. Jarrett and Nate, the manager will find something that fills your needs and budget!

I was interested in a vehicle but no one ever came out to see me. After 25 minutes, I gave up and went to another dealership.

Fast honest service

Don't get your hopes up here. "2 days" means a "a week and a half".

I am so glad we had the pleasure of dealing with AutoNation for this car purchase. From the moment we got there to look around, Jessica was relatable and made us feel comfortable. She helped me find exactly what i was looking for and for a great deal. I really appreciated her honesty and opinion during the process. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and if we had to buy again, i would definitely be coming back here for quick, reliable service.

Awsome and friendly service every time

Jessica Smith is wonderful and amazing!!! She found the car I wanted!!! She went beyond her job!!! I really appreciate her!!! Thank u for everything Jessica!!!

Found me the car i wanted gave me the best prices everyone was great

I took my car here for the first time for an oil change and tire rotation/balance on Saturday. Almost 2 hours passed when the service coordinator came out and asked if I had trouble with my ignition because a pin had come out of my key fob. I made an off-comment about how I was the only one who could turn my car off. I was then told they had to find a new fob and it was hooked up to the computer to be reprogrammed and it shouldn't be too much longer. Almost another hour later, I was told that I was ready to go. I paid for my service and left. Not even 10 minutes down the freeway and the key fob falls off my key onto the floor. I call the service dept and the gentleman tells me, oh yeah, I forgot to show you how to work that. I turn around and head back to the dealership. I was told they couldn't fix it and that I just had to put the fob on the key and turn it. I was sent on my way with 3 things: the key, the separate/broken fob, and a pair of needle-nose pliers to get the key out of the ignition. The next morning, Sunday, I went to get groceries. After parking my car, the key fob breaks more and just spins around the key. I try for 10 minutes to turn the key using the needle-nose pliers and the key absolutely will not budge. I called the dealership and spoke at length with the finance officer, Brandon. He told me to drive up there and he'd try to help. I live an hour from the dealership so I've now made 2 trips in 2 days. On my drive up, my low tire pressure light comes on (I had a tire rotation/balance the day before). When I get back to the dealership, even their own employee can't get the key to turn and the car to shut off. He ends up having to pull the fuse for the fuel pump. They loan me a car and I leave my car at the dealership. On Monday after work, I start to drive up to Columbus, and something tells me to call before I do. I was told that they didn't do anything to fix my key and fob and that it was still in the same shape it was on Saturday. Which means, that I was going to have to use needle-nose pliers (which didn't work before) to get my key out of the ignition. I ended up being transferred to the parts department when I asked how much a key was. A very nice woman by the name of Tonya did her best to help me, even though there was really nothing she could do. She said to keep the loaner car until I got the spare key being mailed to me from an out of state family member. She said she'd also speak with the GM on Tuesday. By 2pm on Tuesday, I hadn't heard from her, so I called the dealership back and left a message. Shortly after that, Tonya called and left me a message saying the service manager would be calling me. By the time I left work, no one had returned my call, so I called him. After a lengthy discussion in which the random comment I made about being the only one who could turn my car off (although that's not actually true as the dealership in SC where I just moved from had no trouble and the employee at a hitch company that just put a hitch on my car less than 2 weeks ago had no problem turning my car on or off) was continuously brought up as to the reason why THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT broke my key, I was finally told that they would order a replacement key for me. All I know is when I arrived at the dealership, my key worked perfectly fine. It wasn't loose or bent (although during the lengthy phone conversation with the service manager, I was told it was), and I had NO difficulty getting my car to turn off or on. If not for the fact that they finally decided to replace the key THEY broke, I would have given this dealership 1 star. I'm glad I'm only in the area for a short time due to work. I wouldn't take my car back to AutoNation again.

The team at this dealership are top notch! They truly understand teamwork and how to treat customers! I usually hate the car shopping and buying process, but not with this team! Jody was the best car sales person I’ve ever had! Give her a call for your next car-new or used, local or nationwide, she’ll find it and get you exactly what you want!

Purchased my 2012 GTI last January from Autonation Volkswagen. The sales people are fantastic and went through every hoop possible to make my experience great. The service department is very knowledgeable and they will take the absolute best care for your vehicle. Turnaround time might not be your run-of-the-mill lube shop but you get the quality you pay for. They always have a great selection of vehicles on the lot and it is always a pleasure to stop by.

I luv Vdub

joey is an amazing person at autonation Volkswagen he's not like other salesman he's very truthful and helpful I've been a hard customer for him but he kept his cool and finally got me a car I love. Definitely recommend going to him. He WILL find the car you want.

The service personnel are very helpful and provide quality service to customers. The service was a little expensive and the wait time service appointments not scheduled online is a tad long, on the overall you will have a feeling that your vehicle is being cared for and you're protected from unpleasant surprises in the immediate and near future.

Without going into detail they went out of there way to help me they where great thank y'all so much I wish I would have purchased my vw through y'all but anyways highly recommended

Great service department ! These guys go out of the way to make everything perfect. Thank you for taking such good care of my wife’s Passat wagon.

I dealt with great people. Honest and up front type of folks.

Joey Mclendon spent several hours working with us to help find a car that was best for the meds of my family. He never showed anything but patience and empathy, and simpley “wanted us to leave happy.” The entire staff there treated us with dignity and respect. We laughed throughout our entire experience. I will definitely be purchasing another car from him again in the near future.

Awesome service department will definitely be back.

Experience was great Krista, Grant, and Mr. King was great. Very professional and courteous. The finance dept. Was very awesome, i had to put my car in the shop today. It started off bumpy, but I finally got a loaner vehicle.

I wouldn't even give this place 1 star. The salesman we dealt with was sleezy as could be, and ruined the entire establishment for us. We drove almost 2 hours to see a vehicle that we were told would be held for us. We show up to find out that he's already on a test drive with someone, in the car that was supposed to be held. Then he had the audacity to say if you sign the paperwork before she does (with out us test driving it first) that we get the car. Because she's "between vehicles" so she won't have a choice. That is the dirtiest thing a salesman can do to someone. We declined doing that to her, obviously. So then we were told he has other vehicles he can bring in from their other dealerships, but we have to sign paperwork stating that we would purchase the car beforehand. All that said I wouldn't buy a car from Riley Grant if my life depended on it, maybe they have better sales people, but we weren't sticking around to find out.

I'm remote in TX and sent my College age daughter there. They took great care of her and communicated well with me. I was treated fairly and they quickly fixed the problem at a good price.

We had a great experience at Volkswagen of Columbus! From the salesman, manager all the way to the finance manager... everyone was friendly and professional.

Buying a car from out of state is stressful. But these guys made it super easy! I talked to Joey and told him what I was looking for in a new vehicle and within the same day I received a phone call back with exactly what I was looking for and then some. Once I drove down to the dealership everyone was extremely helpful and I took my new car home the same day. Thanks Joey, Kameron, Nate, and Brandon for your help in making this a smooth, fun and friendly process!!

Service was awesome. Customer service was awesome too! I got all my questions answered, employees are very knowledgeable. Will definitely go back for any other help i need, or recommend this spot. I really appreciate the courtesy car wash and vac. My car REALLY needed it, thanks guys!

Ever since I've got my Volkswagen I've always come here and I've never had an issue they've always made things right and I'm happy to continue coming

Good service. Got me running good

Purchasing my wife's new car turned be a pleasant experience, although at first I was concerned because no one would return our call initially. I had requested a call from the sales chat online for a representative to call me three times. The third time was a charm. I was also upset that we had an appointment to look at a vehicle that wasn't even on their lot It was somewhere else in South Columbus. The new sales person Clayton showed us some other cars and everything turned out to be just fine.

Totally hate it from the start I don’t know how they did that but I walked out there doors with a vehicle with papers on my hand and sign had the car for 2 month and then they told me that I had to bring it back and pick another vehicle . Apparently what I make is not the figure they wanted but should you have seen that from the beginning???? I took my pay stubs and still told me that’s ok you can come out with a vehicle 😡 In between all this mess I took like 5 trip to drop off bank paper, job information, more bank papers and more information about who and where I work for ??😡 I gave them all my information from day one , they keep lossing my information and ask me to resend the papers again 😡 Ok now the vehicle I have now needed alignment and new tires and of course had to wait who knows how long and still waiting for tires and alignment 😡. A total mess , no ethics. no morals, inresponaibles , unprofessionals. 😡PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE , DONT LEAVE UNTIL YOU ARE SURE AND HAVED TALK TO YOUR FINANCIAL FIRST . EVEN IF THEY GIVE YOU THE CONTRACT AND EVEN IF YOU SIGN .

the staff was helpful kameron did everything he could to help and got me out off my old car and into a new jetta great mpg

Car was damaged by clean up crew prepping the car for pickup by us. The price of the car was reduced appropriately for us to have the repairs done. We drove 4+ hours to get the car and prior to that the staff was very helpful and accommodating in sending pictures and info about the car. Josephine, Cameron and Brandon were especially helpful. My husband is very happy with his car.

Service Department - The service manager (Frankie) is excellent. We purchased a certified pre-owned Passat from Heritage VW in Atlanta. On the drive home from Heritage, we noticed the brakes shook. It took 3 DAYS just to talk to someone at Heritage who could authorize the work that needed to be done. Finally, they said they wouldn't pay Autonation to do the work. Autonation wanted to do a complete brake job (this is industry standard for the issue we had) but Heritage only wanted to do only half the job (just rotors without pads). They wanted us to drive BACK up to Atlanta (on bad breaks and my wife is pregnant) so that they can save a few bucks and do (half) the work themselves. Frankie talked to us multiple times on the phone and apologized for Heritage VW's lack of professionalism. Finally, Frankie decided to do the work because he felt like we shouldn't have to deal with all of this. He had our car fixed and is now dealing with the nightmare Heritage VW on our behalf. Automation really did not have to do this. They still were well within their rights to not do the work because they did not have payment authorization from Heritage. Despite all that, they went to bat for us to prove their exellent service. Obviously we would never return to Heritage because of this experience. The good news is that we found an EXCELLENT service department in Automation VW Columbus. They have earned lifetime customers out of us for excellent customer service and top-notch repair procedures that do not cut any corners.

This place suck you should never get your car from here. The manager is the rudest person I've ever met. He was so disrespectful when I was trying to buy my car. He would just sit there on his phone when I would ask him something about a car I really wanted. Then he accepted my offer I offered two days before then when I get there he adds another $2500 dollars on top of my offer due to some " mantiece". But when I asked him what mantiece he just nodded his head. I'm not sure how even still has a job there.

Very courteous and professional salespeople.Great experience.Manager Nathaniel king was very helpful.

Don't waste your time just go to Montgomery. Fast talking liars work here. More specifically, Bryce. His manager made a shady attempt to resolve the issue by offering his "word" that I could return to any AutoNation and get my battery replaced for free. No contract. Nothing. Yea right. Stay away from this place.

They go above and beyond for you. Great customer service and wonderful experience!

Great service department and the staff is very friendly. They are under new management and wow what a difference it is for the better. They truly care about you .

The sales staff did an excellent job working out a deal for me. I had been stuck in my deteriorating mini for 2 years due to me rebuilding my credit and couldn't find anyone to make something happen for me not even my credit union. Somehow they did and I'm driving a 17 Jetta tsi. I've had the car two weeks now and drive it quite a bit since I work 40 minutes from where I live. The drive is good and the gas mileage is even better. It's the perfect a- b car I was looking for and the bonus features that come standard are pretty nice.

I had a great experience getting my Certified Preowned Passat. Go see Whitley Acre if you're looking for someone you can trust when purchasing a car.

I will think about wether or not to buy from this Dealership or from Volkswagen in the future. I traveled all around the SE US for a Beetle and I ran into dealerships who discriminated against me because I'm disabled. The staff at Columbus AutoNation VW were great at first but after I was demanded work done to my Beetle it became complicated, the staff did what I wanted them to accomplished but their attitude and customer service needs work. Dealerships need to understand when customers feel the purchase or repair work got complicated, they need to be more understanding.

Quick swift in for inspection was helpful

Awesome employees made the entire process enjoyable.

Disappointing experience with service. Make sure you ask very clear questions about what the charges will be before work begins. 1) I called and asked ahead of time what the cost would be for an oil change service for my specific vehicle and was told $89. I guess it's my fault for assuming that the filter and oil were included in this price. Bill ended up at $120. 2) The service rep "slipped" a tire rotation in on me. I showed saying I'm here for an oil change and lube. His response was "Ok, we got you setup for an oil change, lube, and tire rotation." Again, my fault for thinking I could trust them to not slip something in on me like that. At pickup the service manager immediately had that charge removed when I protested (which was good), but not something that should have even been an issue. From what I can tell, it seems the mechanics are knowledgeable and do good work, just be very clear on the work to be done and the costs ahead of time.

I highly recommend Autonation VW for your service needs. They are very fast and professional. I have own three VW and always used this location for my service needs. Bryce was excellent!

Thank you for contacting me. I was very much interested in purchasing a reliable vehicle to use for daily transportation to and from work in Macon County. I am a divorced mother of 3 in the process of rebuilding my life and finances. In 2016, I took a chance on purchasing a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta from the Auburn location. It was the right price, good for my budget at the time!!! However, 4 months later the true condition of the car began to show!!! The fuel pump, tires and transmission, etc. all needed replacing and the car would not operate in reverse. My daughter and I drove the vehicle for months not being able to reverse. The car is now being serviced in Columbus under the vehicle protection plan. They have located a used transmission guaranteed for only 13 months. VW Columbus took 30 days to diagnosis and replace my transmission and tires. Since picking it up on May 6 the car shut off twice. I called Emergency Roadside Assist. The only choice given was to have it towed, once again to Columbus. No!!!! I originally had the vehicle towed to the Auburn Autonation for repairs. After my car being in their possession for a few days, I was told they did not have the proper tools to change the tires on a 2004 VW so they recommended that I have it towed to the Columbus Autonation???????? I had no idea the tires needed a special key to be removed; however the car was sold without it. At the time of purchase, I asked the salesman his opinion of the vehicle. He looked me in the face and stated, "like I tell everyone else, if you purchase this vehicle and drive off the lot and it breaks into two pieces, you will just have a car in two pieces". Geeze!!! Auburn Autonation offered me $1,000 trade in value!!!! The payoff value of the car is $6,000!!!!! So, I guess I'm stuck with a "LEMON" for now!!!! Bryce at VW Columbus location did his job there are no complaints with him. Lesson learned: Trust God from the START!!!!

Took my car in for an oil change. Great service. Fast and all the workers were very kind and helpful

My actual experience the day of service was excellent. Auto Nation VW was easy to find. The service was warranted, etc. The manager was courteous and professional. The car was there to be "checked out" before a long trip north. On the last leg of the trip, I had all sorts of vehicle "warnings" from the dashboard. After starting the car, it alarmed for low coolant, then no oil pressure, then something else. I turned off the car, let it sit and restarted. No more alarms...for the last 175 miles. However, the radio-media center acted in a bizarre manner, asking me all sorts of input questions from a screen I've never ever seen. I will take to dealer here in the North and have it checked before I drive much more.

Believe this... put a deposit down on a car , drove 4 hrs , and they sold it 10 minutes before I got there.. Thanks Autonation Columbus. Thanks to Daryl and crew for wasting my family's Saturday..

Very happy with my new 2017 Passat R- Line. Everyone at Auto NATION Volkswagen was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Definitely took care of me!

Great service!!! Dustin has went above and beyond to get my car taken care of!

Super great folks to deal with. They were kind and patient and made me feel quite happy with my deal! I highly recommend them!

Got a great salesperson and awesome finance experience however, management is arrogant no communication between departments and once the sale is done your're on your own.

Had a great buying experience however once it was over we were on our own. Called and came in person to try and find out why didn't have plates even though the temp tags expired in days and no answers. We talked to management who was of no help. Buy here if you want to pay them to handle your tags but want to really do it yourself

AutoNation Volkswagen really helped us with our Jetta! They recently completed thousands of dollars worth of work on the car (thankfully under warranty). Dustin couldn't have been more friendly throughout the process. When all was said and done, he coordinated with me a good time to drive the car back to our house. This was hugely helpful as my husband was overseas at the time so it saved me an extra headache. Above and beyond in my opinion. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

I went in to have 4 new tires put on and an alignment. I called the day before and the service guys told me the process would take 2-4 hours. As I work, I had someone pick me up so I did not have to wait that long. I dropped my car off at 9am. I called around 12 and my car still wasn't done, but I was told it should be complete around 3:30 or 4. I came in at 5pm and only my tires had been put on. My alignment was not done. Needless to say, I did not wait for my alignment and paid for my tires and left. 9 hours later and they only managed to put on 4 new tires after I was told it would only take 2-4 hours for tires AND and alignment. Poor service! And to top it off, the next day I was washing my car and noticed they knocked a huge dent into the rim of my tires. A very noticeable dent. So on top of the poor service, your car also gets damaged! I do not recommend this service department to anyone.

I came in to look for a specific type of car. They had been emailing me constantly about cars they had on the lot. I told them I was looking for a very specific type of car and all they wanted to do was get you onsite and into a loan. I finally did come and look and found a car I fell in love with. I didn't. Want to make an impulsive buy so I told the car sales man I wanted to go home and sleep on it. Instead he tells my male friend, "what is it going to take to get you to take this home today"? Firstly. I'm the one purchasing the car. It's my credit and down payment. When he finally realized I was going to go home and do research he unwillingly made an appointment. I was sick the next day, which was a Sunday. I emailed and callled several times during the week to reschedule the appointment. The car sales Man I thought I was trying to buy a car from never called me back. Finally the next day I was off to go process paperwork and spend all day on a car lot, I called the dealership. Was finally able to speak to a sales rep 15 minutes after they open , because everyone who did answer the phone in the "sales dept" couldn't help me and told me to call back. When I spoke to the sales rep I was told the car was sold and the car sales man was out. I called for a week and no one could have told me this? That the sales rep was going to be out or the car sold. Then the rep told me that he'd get me j to something if I came into day. I am not a typical car buyer. I research the car and I want to know what I'm getting into. Not just stuck with something I might grow to like. Instead I drove 2 hours to kennesaw ga to JIm Ellis VW. Was treated with respect and courtesy. They were able to answer any questions I asked. I ended up selecting a car double the price I was going to intislky spend due to their customer service and finding a new model with all the upgrades I wanted. Do not go to autonation. We were told they don't work for commission, however the sales rep did not address me, and instead the male friend not there to buy a car. They gave me the run around and did not follow through once. The two hour drive was worth it.

Very friendly and welcoming staff! They got right to me and immediately started on my beetle as soon as I arrived. My car detail was great!

Very courteous, exceptionally educated staff. There were two recalls on my car and the mechanic would not stop working until everything was complete.

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE!!!!! I bought 2008 Volkswagen R32 from here back in September and I and I can’t believe the nightmare I have gone through and still am. Just to be clear my sales man Nathan was great I was happy to work with him and none of this is his fault. My problem is with the dealership its self and the way I’ve been treated after buying the car. I live out of state and I was looking to buy my dream car the best R32 I could find was at this dealer ship unfortunately. Long story short after the temp tags expirer and the nightmare to get the car refinance due to a big mistake with a bank they work with so the bank turned down the deal two weeks later of me having the car. I’ve paid over $14k for this car and they give me a useless key that was broken in half and the driver’s side door latch was broken and they did not tell me about it, so I paid over $300 for a new key at my local VW dealer and can’t even lock the car because of the broken door latch, A WORKING KEY AND A WORKING DOOR LATCH ARE BASIC THINGS THAT SHOULD COME WITH A CAR!!! It’s almost the new year and I still don’t have my tags and every time I asked them about it they would say that they would get back with me and never did. So I finally got in contact with someone in charge and they sent the info and a check to my DMV so I can finally get my license plate and drive my car. The DMV tells me that the dealership did not add up the money right and I have to pay $144.70 to have my license plate, I don’t have that kind of money right now and should not have to pay it after paying over $14K for the car and waiting so long. The car sits in my drive way and cannot drive it because of no tags and how irresponsible and disrespectful this dealership has been. Please don’t buy a car from here unless you want to be viewed as a worthless and have your hard earned money taken from you so can be left with nothing.

Salesman James was the best part of experience. Thought we had price we specifically stated when we walked in but ended up paying much more with "add-ons". Bought vehicle in July and have had numerous problems with it. Took it to service department and "nothing found wrong". Two days later took it to Auto Zone and that particular problem was diagnosed immediately and fixed. About 1-2 weeks later, began having other issues. Took it to reputable mechanic and he discovered oil leak and repaired it. Ran code check for check engine light that remains on and found that intake manifold needs to be replaced. Apparently my vehicle was recalled previously for issues relating to this but, of course, it isn't under warranty. Seems like VW could have informed us of this issue but they didn't. Needless to say, I WON'T be using AutoNation VW service department ever again!

I went to AutoNation to get my free oil change today, I was treated so unfairly. After waiting for over an hour, a service rep comes to tell me my oil change was not free. I had to wait over an hour to be told that?? I advised them of what I was told and he asked for my paperwork from when I first purchased my car. Who carries that around with them on a day to day basis? So I was upset and left. Needless to say, they did not change my oil. I then called the service area and Jennifer(or Jessi) whoever she was, took the call from a salesman and was the rudest, nastiest, most disrespectful person I have ever dealt with in customer service. How someone could not honor what their sales reps are advising is dishonorable. She cut me off while I was speaking and kept saying, alright, alright in a derogatory tone. Also kept saying, I apologize you feel that way. That is a half sided apology. This was by far the worst customer service ever. This behavior and treatment was unacceptable.

Great service during my visit. No one wants to go to the dealer for service but the service manager Frank made it less painful and let me know what was needed for my repair as well as suggested services to maintain my GTI at peak performance. Frank is a true Volkswagen fan and very knowledgeable about all models of VW. I'd highly recommend seeing him for any issues you might have.

The staff is extremely helpful and courteous. Definitely will be returning.

I had an excellent experience. This was the quickest service I've had when purchasing a vehicle.

Easy, well done, fast. I was impressed. Thanks

I came to AutoNation to ask if their service department had time to replace my headlight which my car reported was not functioning. I received immediate service and good news. The headlight's connection was all that needed attention done at no charge. Delighted I made an appointment for the 95,000 mile service. I feel confident I have people who are competent and ethical.

AN Volkswagen of Columbus worked with me very well. They did their best to get me into the car that I wanted! You know, my credit isn't the best and they worked with me and got me a good deal where I was t paying super over priced. I'd recommend them to anyone who does t like the typical dealership, as well as anyone looking for a new vehicle.

I needed a lug nut key to get my tires off. I came in on a Saturday near closing time and the service and speed were excellent. Frankie welcomed me and within a half hour replaced the lug nuts for me. I really appreciated his attitude despite coming in near the end of his day.

I have just moved to the Columbus area about a month ago and one of my highest priorities was to locate a VW dealership for my 2012 Jetta. I found AutoNation in the nick of time. I had to have my low-beam headlight on the passenger's side replaced and the air pressure in my tires checked. I went into the dealership to make an appointment, but to my surprise, I was able to have my vehicle worked on almost immediately. I want to thank AutoNation VW for their excellent service and wanting to know about my experience. God bless the team!

overall good experience with sim Thomas, enjoying the jetta, my daughter loves it, we would do it all over again

I had a great experience at Autonation Volkswagen. The staff was very courteous and knowledgeable. They repaired my Jetta and I'm back on the road. Great service department. Will most definitely be returning.

The tech was professional and courteous at all times, the wait time was very minimal. I highly recommend AutoNation Volkswagen of Columbus GA.

Sim Thomas i a snake and professional liar. This dealership doesn't deserve to have rats like that working in the vicinity. WORD OF CAUTION" Whatever car you're buying make sure that EVERYTHING IS ON PAPER" even if it's an oil change. If you're dealing with Sim Thomas run and get another salesman; if not go to another dealership, if push comes to shove well i doubt they have a cure for a rat of his nature.

Summie Thomas was great! Love my new VW Hybrid!

Experience shows with the sales and finance staff here. My sales person was James R. and he was a consummate professional. I purchased a 2016 Passat SEL. Thanks again for waiting on me even after close.

Big thanks to Brice and Frank in the service department, they helped me out big time with a insurance claim i needed in order to get my vehicle repaired, and they are also the reason I have edited this previous review!

It was not the greatest experience that I have had when it comes to servicing a vehicle. Customer service was great. There were at least three to four items that were marked as completed in the checklist that was presented to me at checkout that was important for a 30k service that gave me the impression that my vehicle may have not been serviced at all. My passenger front side tire was still missing air, the service indicator sign was still coming on, and the sticker stating the mileage and time for the next oil change were missing. The tire that was missing the air was in the same place before and after I brought it in for service. I believe tire rotation was part of the service that was quoted to me for a 30k maintenance service. I only drove my vehicle 3k from the last time it was serviced. The items mentioned were checked as being completed, but were still presented to me as deficiencies after the service was completed. AutoNation did a good job when it comes to checking up before and after the servicing of my vehicle was completed. Thanks!

new name, wasnt expecting it, but i broke something on my VW CC and they repaired quick and great price and awesome service

The service was 100% better than the previous dealership owner. I will definitely return if I need maintenance.

Autonation was nothing short of professional. They got in me in for a service an oil change next day with appointment and were very accommodating during my wait. I mean who doesn't like to sit down and watch the Olympics while waiting for their car?! I will be returning to Autonation in the future for any issues with my vehicle in the future.

I bought my 2016 passat on July 29th 2016 and I love it so much that everyone want one.. My sales person was wonderful and he did everything he could to get me into the car he worked really hard , and I'm thankful. Anyone looking for for a car please go to autonation they will make u feel good and make sure u get into the car that fits you and that's in your price range..

Service, My service was covered under recall. I had no idea and they could have still charged me. The were honest and covered my repair with no expense. Great experience to a stressful situation!!

Horrible experience, manager was extremely unprofessional.

They were very responsive to my needs and called every step of the way to inform me of what was happening with my vehicle. Very professional and courteous as VW has always been with me.

Service personnel and the Technician servicing my car were extremely friendly and took the time to answer all of my questions. All of the work was completed quickly and my car came back very clean.

AWESOME service by the salesman Sim Thomas!!! The service department was also very helpful!! John Debos and Frankie Means were AMAZING and full of knowledge on the VW brand! I will say that the GM Ken Boggs was very disrespectful to the supporting staff and to us as well. But overall the sales experience with Sim and the team was GREAT and I love my new VW GTI!!!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They got me the financing terms I was looking for. I would definitely buy from them again. Thanks again for a great buying experience!

Had a great experience at Autonation VW, great service from Sim Thomas!

Sim Thomas was hands down a perfect salesman. He took his time to assist my husband and I, when the colleague of his that I was scheduled to see, turned his nose up at us, because our bank matched TrueCar pricing. Little did he know, we were already approved and just needed to test drive to be sure that was the car I wanted. Sim was down to earth, polite, charismatic, a simply a pleasure to do business with. My husband and I enjoyed the buying process with him. Although his office manager or general manager displayed less than pleasing behavior by belittling him in the office next to us, Sim handled it with grace and humbleness. It shows true character. If it wasn't for Sim, they would have lost our business that day by others display of lack of great customer service. With Sim, we didn't feel just like a sale, we felt human and true concern from him. Thanks again Sim and God bless your productivity and finances!!! Shenika Smith, 2015 KIA Optima

Thankful for Sim Thomas and his amazing team. I would gladly recommend this dealership to anyone.

I give them 5 stars because autonation volkswagon of columbus didnt give me the run around like the other dealerships I went to before them. Sim Thomas, Donnel and the volkswagon gave me excellent service! Super stoked to be doing business with them!! My family and I love the quality and safety of the vehicle we purchased. Payments and interest beat other major dealerships in this area hands down. Thanks again Volkswagon!!

I bring my VW CC R-Line here for service. I drive 60 miles one way for the excellent service I receive everytime!

I had an outstanding experience purchasing my new Jetta. Donelle and James both went above and beyond to assist me. They were both very knowledgeable and very quick with a response to my questions. They made me feel as if I were in very capable hands.

very good service.

Excellent service department. Frankie was very helpful in getting my Ford Focus serviced. I was so happy with the way I was treated that I came back and bought my wife a VW Tiguan and she loves it! The GM Ken Boggs even took time to personally work our deal. Great people, Great place!!

The salesman was very nice. He explained the service that needed to be done. I felt very comfortable.

Two weeks ago I drove over to Columbus from Montgomery, AL to look at the 2016 Stonewashed Blue VW Beetle convertible and fell in love! James Robbins was great in walking me through everything, the test drive and the paperwork. No pressure whatsoever and I got the payments I was comfortable with! I've enjoyed every minute of driving my new Bug.

My service advisor Frank got my daughter's Jetta in for the 30k mile checkup without an appointment and was finished within an hour. Appreciate the effort, especially on a long weekend.

Frank got my daughter's Jetta in for its 30k service without an appointment and it was completed within an hour. Appreciate the effort especially on a long weekend

Frankey was very courteous and quickly got my Passat serviced. I would highly recommend AuotNation Volkswagon to. My friends.

Dealing with Sim Thomas was the only positive experience that my husband and I had at this dealership. He is knowledgeable, patient and understanding. Sim was very helpful every time I had any questions or concerns, never ignored my calls or emails. He and Norman Matthews stayed in the office very late past their working hours to get everything done for us. However, our general impression was far from good. We were told by two different salesmen that we were eligible for a $1,500 rebate, but at the end we found out that wasn’t the case. Except that they were not able to review my credit report because of some issues with the credit bureau. For that reason I was not approved for the loan as a co-applicant and Norman Matthews promised to fix this after I solve the problem with the bureau, but when I did a week later he said it was too late. So I ended up with 9(!) hard inquiries on my credit report without result. In addition it took them almost 2 months to send the title and when they finally did (after my multiple calls) it turned out one signature was missing on the paperwork! So I had to get another temporary tag and just keep waiting. And now, 5 months later I'm still waiting for them to return over $100 because they charged us too much in taxes. They are all very nice to you when they need your money but once they get it nobody cares anymore. So my advise - stay away!

Prompt efficient service

Friendly, honest folks.

I set up a 160k service with the service manager over the phone who stated they had a 160k service listed. After the work was done, my wife called me to confirm everything was performed. I asked if the transmission service was performed and the lady receptionist said it was. When my wife brought the paperwork home, it showed that a 60k service was performed instead, which doesn't include the trans service and includes an air filter replacement which the car doesn't need for another 20k. I called the service manager to confirm and he told me they don't have a 160k service and it starts over. He said that the 60k was the same, which of course, it is not. Very disappointed!!

These questions are somewhat misleading. I was in for my 90,000 service. No quote was provided beforehand, accurate or otherwise. They were about 20 minutes past when they said they would have it ready. The last service indicated I would need new wiper blades, so I mentioned that when I checked in. They changed the front but not the back. They noted as the car was being pulled around that I was missing a lock lug nut on one of my cars. It looks like they could have put a regular lug nut in its place, instead of just telling me about it. That would have been an inexpensive way to go above and beyond. And always, every time, after I have a 10,000 mile service, it never fails that my check tire pressure light comes on and I have to reset it. The first couple of times that happened it panicked me because I was on the road and didn't know if there was a problem with the tires. Now I know I just need to reset it. Why can't they do that at the time of service? The person greeting me was courteous and professional. The cost seems high to me, but I have no basis for comparison.

Nathan is a great salesman.my experience with him and the autonation team was positive.If anyone needs a new or pre owned vehicle please look them up.Im loving my new vw gti 2016🤑

After taking my TDI into the Columbus dealership for my 100,000 mile check up, I was handed a hand written list of parts (including a 16 dollar bolt) with no explanation on paper of what was actually wrong with my cars parts, only the cost of each part. I was verbally told my return line had" leaks" (63.55 for the line AND 9.88 for a gasket!), both of my drive shafts were in terrible condition, and that my oil pan was leaking, as well as a bunch of things related to what would typically be an oil changin related charge were wrong. The one thing they said was fine was my timing belt (which is difficult to see without talking the whole engine apart) and is what my car manual said to replace at 100,000 miles. After getting a second opinion from a trusted mechanic in my hometown while visiting my family, I was told I do need to replace the timing belt, but that most of the stuff on the list was outrageously priced (my total from the volkswagon dealership was 2,700 dollars after labor!) and that most of it was unnecessary. I paid 350 for a couple repairs, an oil and filter change, and labor was included in that price. I'll be waiting on my timing belt for a bit, but know that it needs to be done instead of letting it break and ruin my engine. I'm a petite, blonde woman and I did look a bit lost walking into a new place, but that's no reason to price gouge someone. Perhaps that's what they do to all of their customers, and it has nothing to do with me being a woman, but I will never be returning to this dealership for service, and I would highly recommend taking your VW somewhere else!

I called in and spoke to some girl in the service department, she told me one thing and i had one of my friends drive me five hours up to Columbus, and then was told it was a liability and it couldn't be done. Long story short don't deal with dishonest people.

This is my first Volkswagen and I am loving everything about it. Thumbs up to Sales Representative Nathaniel Jenkins. He was great! The whole Volkswagen team were great. I would definitely buy another Volkswagen from AutoNation.

They have always had great attitudes and professional service in my experiences with all of the vehicles I have owned.

This is my first volkswagen and I am very leery of dealerships but the service department at Northlake is very friendly and professional. Mr. Meals has been exceptionally helpful every time I have had a problem. I am very grateful to him for his assistance and plan to continue utilizing your service department.

Brought our car here for repairs and it has been there for about a month between insurance and service mix ups. Employees have not been outright rude, but certainly not pleasant. Made them aware that I was supposed to drive out of state with that car and needed it done by yesterday. Turns out they have a wrong part and need to order a new one so the car won't be ready for another 2 days. Now I'll be 3 days late to where I was supposed to be. Overall bad experience and will not return or recommend to anyone.

Easy day. 1 hour. Great people. Perfect truck. EXLNT price. Sim was awesome

My Salesman was Sim Thomas and he was very friendly and helpful. Since I purchased the vehicle without a trade in, I ended up with 2 vehicles there after the sale. Sim volunteered to drive my new vehicle home and which was above and beyond what I expected. Thanks for the great experience!

The dealership was helpful and gave us a great deal. Thank you to out salesperson, James for all the help.

James Robbins was very easy to deal with, we made the deal very fast and he also explained to me all the question i had about the VW Beetle i would tell friends about James, and Autonation. Thanks

Sim Thomas and James Robbins did an awesome job in assisting me in my new car purchase. They were kind, and prompt.

We worked with Sim and he was very helpful as we narrowed down our decision between different VW options. We didn't feel any pressure, which made the whole experience better than we imagined it would be.

Great group of people have been working here since I bought my Jetta TDI in 2012. Always glad to do business with them.

Sim Thomas did an excellent job with my first car purchasing auto experience. I was able to negotiate a great price and an excellent customer Experience. Donell, Norman, Franky also did an excellent job during the sale to make sure I was taken care of.

Sim & Norman did a stand up job during and after the purchase of my new car. Everything was friendly and welcoming from start to finish. I recommended the team to my family and they purchased a vehicle as well after hearing of my positive experience.

Im fresh out of Air Force tech school and this was such a pleasurable experience in purchasing a car. Everyone was friendly and I didn't feel pressured. Shout out to James Robbins, Donnell Williams and Norman Matthews for helping me get the car I wanted at the price I could afford.

Great service from the sales and finance team. They made for a very enjoyable experience which for me is definitely a first for buying a car.

What a pleasurable experience dealing with the folks out at VW AutoNation. Nathan and the guys were a joy to deal with and what a GREAT deal they offered me. Unbelievable value for my trade-in and a awesome low ball price for my new vehicle. High marks for these guys. They are setting the bar high for other auto dealers in Columbus. 5-Star experience!!!!!!

Sim & Norm provided a superb experience for me during my buying experience. They were highly accommodative, humorous, and professional. I would recommend VW Columbus to anyone and to specifically ask for Sim Thomas for an honest professional that provided significant guidance. I bought a 2016 Passat TSI that is the bomb.

Absolute worst VW dealership experience in 25 years of buying VW's. Difficulties with paperwork processing, financing and to top it off the title for the car once I paid it off. The salesman was the only bright light in a very dim bunch. After signing the paperwork (the first time... they had to send 2 reps to my house on 2 different occasions to get it right) I had to wait almost 2 hours for the car to be cleaned and prepped for delivery. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE AT THE DEALERSHIP!!! I was the only person there and it took 2 hours to wash a GTI. It seems this dealership has gone downhill since buying my last car in 2001. Read the other reviews and go elsewhere. Love the car...hate the dealer. Will be taking my business to another dealer for service in the future.

Sim was a awesome salesmen with great patience, quality and empathy toward my goal of getting a car especially on New Years Eve. Sim understood the needs for my family life as well as professional needs. The staff at Auto Nation were very professional and efficient from the Mananger from New York to the Finance Consultant that worked acrosd at Hyuandi that completed my paperwork. I will diffently purchase my next car from Auto Nation because of my great experience. I've referred several people to this dealership due to the upcoming tax season in hopes to help increase the companies overall profit. My experience was very positive and I would rate Sim and team on the scale of 1-10 a 10=Highly Satisfied. Thank you Katrina B. Volkswagen Customer

It was easy all employees very professional and friendly. This is the second VW I bought at that dealership.

Greeted promptly and Sim Thomas proved very patient. Found a car in a color I wanted and completed all of the legwork necessary to purchase a new car. In all a pleasant experience.

I took my Volkswagen Beetle in for an oil change, tire rotation, cabin filter, and fuel filter. I had an appointment which allowed me to walk in, hand the key fob to the service manager, sign the paper work, and get the car back in 53 minutes. Great experience!

Wonderful Experience! Made sure to check everything I asked them to and was super nice. They completed everything in great amount of time. WONDERFUL DEALERSHIP!

I have been having routine service on my 2013 Tiguan at this dealership ever since I bought it new. Today was my 30,000 mile service (the last complimentary one). I made the appointment online around 12:30 for 4:30 today. It took a little over an hour. Everything was explained to me clearly, including what will be required at 40,000 miles and the cost (a lot - but I expected that). I have been very pleased with this service department and am glad I didn't rely on all of the negative reviews.

I called at least a dozen times before I drove to VW, no one ever answered. Yes this was during business hours :) so I drove to VW and when I got there I couldn't find a service agent for at least 15 minutes. And I walked around the entire place searching for one. A salesmen had to track one down for me. I told him what was going on and he was certain he knew what the problem was. We made sure the test and repair was covered under warranty. When he got us in a few days later I was told it was a battery issue and that nothing was covered under warranty. But yet I was charged for the test they ran (that was suppose to be covered). My battery was checked before I took it to VW and the charge was just fine.

Got my VW serviced here last weekend. Seems there are a lot of negative reviews for this place, but my experience was pretty positive. Staff was professional, yet friendly and the servicing was done in about 30 minutes.

Took our 2013 vw passat tdi for just an oil change. Got to our appointment early by 20 mins. An hour and a half later out car hadn't even moved. We tried to talk to someone but the guy was just rude and said okay leave. So we did. Looks like we will continue to drive to montgomery then to use this horrible dealership.

I took my 2015 Volkswagen Jetta to Carl Gregory Volkswagen for my 10,000 mile complimentary service. I called to schedule an appointment and had to wait a week to be seen. When I arrived at the dealership, I pulled into the service lane expecting someone to come out and greet me. That did not happen. When I walked in, the two underwriters working in the service department didn't even look up to welcome me. After waiting a moment, I was asked if I had an appointment, told to fill out a form, and that my car would be ready in 1- 2 hours. After 3 hours passed, I called to check on my vehicle. It was not ready yet, and the underwriter could not tell me when it would be ready. At the four hour mark, the underwriter called me to say that I could pick up my car. When I picked it up from the dealership, it had not been washed or detailed, something I assumed the dealership would have done as part of the service. Furthermore, there was damage to my car. The driver's side door had been opened onto a curb! Paint was chipped off of the bottom of the door panel and the corner was flared from the force of pulling it away from the curb. It was immediately noticeable because I have a black car! I made the service underwriter aware of the damage and emailed him photos to give to his manager, and have still not heard back from the dealership. I do not advise anyone to give this dealership their business. They certainly will never have mine again.

A terrible dealership, some dumb women walks out in her socks and has no idea about anything going on. Her jailhouse manager was by far the worst help ever. The place is un professional and a total waste of time. Go somewhere else for a vw

My salesman was awesome! I left late Thursday night after looking at two vehicles and not being able to make a decision and needing to know if I would be approved. Friday morning I got a phone call saying they got me approved for either car. I left in my Passat that day. I highly recommend Carl Gregory VW and Donnell Williams.

My son took his Volkswagen CC in for some routine maintenance. They took care of the maintenance and had my son bring the car back in to take care of a couple of recalls. They were extremely personable. That was the 4th car that I have bought from Carl Gregory over the years. They do a great job on sales and a better job on service..

My husband and I were looking for a very specific vehicle, which we were able to find at Carl Gregory Volkswagen. As we do not reside in the state of Georgia, this purchase seemed risky with a 5 hour drive ahead of us. Leo Prickle was our sales agent and understood our situation. Before we could even arrive to the dealership, Leo was wonderful to work with. There were several things we asked to be completed given our concern of an out of town purchase and we must say we made the right choice. Although we kept Leo extremely busy, running from one side of the lot to the other, he was nothing less than a pleasure to deal with and more accommodating than we could've asked for. Thank you Leo Prickle for making this a remarkable experience and well worth the drive and the cost!

Brought in my Jetta for the 30k service, a recall check, and an issue I was having with my heat. I talked to Jose 4 times and all 4 times I had to correct him and tell him that it was my heat, not my AC. He called me one last time and said they could figure it out but would replace the blower fan to see if that was the issue. I picked up the car and on the paperwork it said "AC" and when I got in my car the controls were also set to AC. No wonder they couldn't figure out the issue. When I got home I realized I didn't get all of my paperwork so after a delay in getting the parts (which I had to call twice on, they never called to tell me), I had my appointment to get the part replaced two months later. When I picked up my car I asked for the 30k service paperwork that they forgot to give me last time. Turns out I didn't get the paperwork because they didn't actually do the 30k service. Awful, awful place - stay far away. Oh, and my heat still isn't working right...

My service experience for this trip was good. I don't have any complaints. It's service as it's been for the last 11 years that I've used them. This is my second VW. I really love their product and the timely service that I get. Than you Carl Gregory VW service team for making my most recent experience with you very nice.

Everyone there was very friendly and professional, they got me an appointment on very short notice for a broken taillight. They also called me ahead of time to tell me about an unexpected problem instead of just fixing it, which I appreciated especially since there are so many mechanics these days that are looking to gouge you behind your back, they were honest and upfront. A little expensive in terms of labor charges but I find thats unfortunately normal for VW's.

Recently got a used vehicle that was having some problems. It is still under warranty so I took it to get repaired and was helped by Jose. He was awesome and everything was done quickly. Thank You!

worst VW and car service dealer that I have been to and I am almost 50 y/o. Took my GLI under warranty five times for the same problem and didn't get fix until I wrote a complaint to HQ. Now car is leaking oil after the extended warranty company paid $2000 to fix a leak two years ago. Been calling multiple times since rep have to call the extended warranty company to get approval and he has not call the company yet.

I had to have my car repaired last week. Jose Andujar, the service manager, kept me informed every step of the way--from the time the car arrived at the dealership for repairs until I picked it up a couple of days later. In addition to the work that had to be done immediately, Jose recommended a couple of maintenance items that need to be taken care of in the near future, but at no time did he press me to have them done then and there. AND, he had the car washed and vacuumed out! It made for a wonderful experience. Thanks!

I just purchased a 2015 Golf. Sherrie did a wonderful job and made sure I was 110% satisfied with my purchase. They even went out of their way to make sure I got the exact color and trim level I wanted. Thanks so much Sherrie and the whole Volkswagen team. I'll definitely be sending some friends your way!!!!

We went to Carl Gregory to look at getting a new car. After talking with Charles we knew we were buying from there. Charles jumped through hoops to help us get approved for our new car. Not only was our salesman helping us we had several others assisting in making the whole process enjoyable. I love my new car and fully trust the service staff with all my Maintenance needs.

Recently bought a VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI and I am really happy. The overall buying process was quite cordial and relaxing. The folks at Carl Gregory VW dealership answered all of my questions; treated me with dignity and respect; and, made a great offer...the first time.

ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE BEST EXPERINCES IVE EVER HAD PURCHASING A VEHICLE, THEY WERE REALLY EASY TO DEAL WITH, DALE LIVINGSTON THE GENERAL MANAGER IS A GREAT GUY REALLY EASY TO GET A GREAT DEAL, SALEMAN I WORKED WITH JAMES ROBINS, JROD, RYAN ROBERSON VERY KNOWLEGEABLE AND LOOKING OUT FOR MY BEST INTERESTES... WILL ONLY PURCHASE FROM THEM

Scratched my rims conducting a tire rotation and failed to replace a bolt on the wheel.

I called to get an oil change on my 2013 passat and I was told a price of $130.00. I called another dealership close to Atlanta and was told $80.00 after taxes! Thinking it may be a fluke I called a couple dealerships and none had the price Carl Gregory gave me. When I called to bring this to their attention I was told that the difference is taxes and shop supplies. Immediate red flag. I would pay it if they could give me a good explanation. What this tells me is that if I were to take my car here, I would be in for a future of inflated charges and who knows what else. My friend had a bad experience with them a year ago, but I decided to give them a chance, bad idea. Go elsewhere.

Easily the worst experience I have ever had. Employees made jokes that were sexual in nature and they did a terrible paint job on a vehicle that they damaged. I bought the vehicle three weeks ago and I have had it for like a week.

Just bought a new beetle, over all they where very friendly, and when the beetle came back from honda after being cleaned and checked so I could sign and drive, it came back to vw with paint missing, rubber scuffs on the bumper and yellow paint drips on the front :( was honda jealous that vw made a sale? Anyways before I left they told me they would take care of all the damage honda did and give me a car to drive for a couple days while I wait for mine to get fixed! So the next day I recieved a call from my sales lady telling me to stop by and she would link my iPhone through Bluetooth and show me all the cool features my convertable has to offer, Cool! Well I told the manager DAVE that it was damaged by honda last night and he was shocked and mad! He said honda will pay for all damages and he will personally pay for my new car to be professionally detailed which he really doesn't need to do its clean! Just the paint issues! So all in all they where wonderful to me! And I will be back there to buy again in the future and I recommend them to all

I wrote the other review and submitted an online comment to them, and their service manager contacted me personally and asked me to bring the car by whenever I could, and that they do have a loaner program that they can help me out with. I brought the car to them and they read the code at no charge and are now making good on helping me to get my vehicle serviced. The Manager, Perry Schute, was very cordial and accomodating and apologized for my previous experience. They even noticed that I was missing a lugnut and replaced it on the spot at no charge. Everyone deserves a second chance and so far, they are doing ok after a rocky start. I'm not certain yet I would recommend them to a friend; maybe.

My check engine light came on on my 2009 VW Jetta TDI so I called them and was told that on the weekend that they only crew the shop with oil change technicians. I explained that I was in the military and was unable to bring my vehicle in during the week and that I needed to be able to being it in on the weekend. There was no offer to bring it in before they close on a weekday and a loaner would be provided; they clearly do not care about the Soldier population and made no effort to earn my business. I am an Infantry Captain and expect that a business wants me to spend my money with them, and that to do so, customer service must be excellent. In this case, customer service is lacking, and their weekend capabilities are sub-par. Any knucklehead can connect a diagnostic code reader to any car and read what the code means. He did not even offer to do that. All Soldiers, I highly advise against utilizing these guys, and for that matter, I would highly discourage any consumer who expects to be treated as though their business is important.
