When dealing with Tomi N. you will be treated like a real, budgeted human being. I have had my car serviced with Tomi at Clay Cooley VW for years and he has always gone above and beyond to make sure my car is fixed, fixed right and fixed within budget. Trust is not something you can find much in the car business but I can without hesitation say I trust Tomi N. at Clay Cooley VW with my wife and my wallet! If you find yourself in a situation where you need service on your VDub, call Tomi N. and see for yourself what real customer service is.

We went there for a test drive and ended up buying the car (a Tiguan). Douglas Lucas and Connie Flores were very friendly and professional. They communicated clearly about prices. They even honored the price advertised on the website, whil other dealers played the usual dealership games. John (Finance) was also great because he made the extra effort to get us a good APR and threw in a few extras. Overall, our experience was excellent and definitely recommend giving them a visit.

What a great car buying experience at Clay Cooley VW Richardson. It started with just kinda browsing the lot while waiting for new tires to be put on my car. Eric Williams walked out of the building and instantly changed direction to take care of me. From the moment he asked if he could help me to the moment I rolled off the lot, Eric took great care of me. He listened to what I needed, he listened and understood my financial parameters and challenges and he worked on my deal until it was done. GM Robert Kersh got involved as well and in the end made the deal possible. Going through Finance was a breeze once the deal was final. I spent less than 2 hours at the dealership Thursday and Friday. None of that 'spend all day here' waste of time. Everybody was conscious of my time and I very much appreciated that. The friendliness, care, respect, and speed of going through and finishing transactions was phenomenal and unlike any experience I've had before. If you are looking for a great VW dealership to buy your car from, Clay Cooley VW Richardson is it. The people there make the experience. And if you need work on your car, I know first hand that they have on of the best teams of techs. VW or other brand, ask for Nathan Raines. You'll get a great mechanic with him.

We had the BEST car buying experience we have ever had at Clay Cooley VW in Richardson. If you need a new car, go see Samir or Connie! We went in on Tuesday to just look at the different Tiguan trim models and Samir respected our desire to want to go home and think about which car best suited our needs. We weren't pressured to stay and sign something immediately like I have been in the past. Samir and Ryan, the sales manager, called me the next day to confirm the trim model and color I wanted. When we arrived at 7pm, they already found the exact car and color and brought it over from another dealership. The entire team worked well past closing without complaint to complete our deal that night. We are so grateful for their customer service.

Deborah Woolverton was such a joy to work with. I contacted her about a car I saw online and she spent so much time checking on information I wanted about the car. Upon deciding to potentially buy the car, Deborah jumped through hoops to make sure the car would be available for me when my husband & I drove up from Austin to look at the car. She was honest, accommodating and great to work with when purchasing a new/used car. Thank you!!

I recently bought a new 2016 GTI from Clay Cooley VW. Josef Puhringer was extremely polite, patient and helpful from first contact and test drive all the way through the sale. No heavy pressure. Very reasonable offer without haggling. A surprisingly pleasurable experience for someone who rarely enjoys buying a car. Would definitely recommend Josef and Clay Cooley VW for anyone considering a VW purchase.

Purchased a certified pre owned vehicle from Joseph P. and he could not have been more helpful in getting us the car we wanted, at the right price. The dealership was pretty haggle free and not stressful is reaching a deal. This is the 2nd car purchase we have made at VW Richardson, from Joseph in 2 years, and we will be back in another 2 years, I'm sure of it because of how great Joseph, and the entire dealership conduct business.

I was looking at cars for my mother, Lucia Perez Sepeda. I stopped in to look at a Jetta and Greg was really great to work with. He followed through with everything he said he would. When I changed my mind and decided to look at the Passat, he was just as helpful and was very nice about all of the time I required to make up my mind. When, at the last moment, we changed car colors, he was very accommodating. I felt like he treated us honestly and didn't waste my time. A few nights prior, I walked off the Honda car lot because I felt they were giving me one price, then changing it when I arrived at the lot.

Traditional car buying process, make an offer wait for the manager to counter... Walk out a get a call back in a day agreeing to the price. Overall the buying process was smooth and I love VW's. Dieselgate aside I think VW's are one of the best kept "secrets". Audi build quality Honda price.

I had the honor of working with Josef Puhringer at Clay Cooley VW. From the very beginning he and his staff treated me with respect. My situation wasn't the easiest. Due to recent family and life emergencies I had been struggling with keeping my payments up to date. But they were able to help me overcome those issues and get me into a cheaper car payment that served my immediate needs. They never treated me as if I was a hassle to deal with.I know that I can count on them to put together a financing option that would help me out not only right now but also in the future as my financial situation improves with time. They were able to see that I at one point had tier 1 credit but had been stumbling as of late due to my family situation.The financial manager, Troy McCowan, showed me everything that was available and broke all the numbers down. I look forward to working with them again in the future and I would recommend them to anyone looking for great customer service during their car buying experience.

We called and made an appointment to look at a low mileage 2013 Jetta. We received an email to confirm. We showed up early test drove the vehicle with the salesman Tyler. On completion of the test drive another salesman approaches us and let us know the car was just sold. WHAT?? We were very frustrated and upset, and not sure how that could have happened when we had a confirmed by email appointment to look at the car. No one called to say that if we wanted them to hold the car, a deposit would be required. The GM wouldn't come and talk to us at all and didn't step in to correct the issue. He could have easily stopped the transaction that was going on in the next office and said that we had made an appointment and had the first right of refusal. Instead, they offered us a 1 year earlier (2012 instead of 2013) car with 13000 additional miles for the same price. Are you kidding me?? After haggling with them, they did drop the price somewhat, I explained for me to feel comfortable about the sale, they would have to match what the other one had (window tinting) for the lower price. Tyler said he will see what he could do (but made no commitment). I left a deposit to hold the car until they could get the car to their lot. For 2 days we couldn't stop thinking about what happened and how that could have been avoided. We bought another Jetta from Volkswagen of Irving (Metro VW - check my positive review). We just didn't feel good about giving our business to AutoNation due to unethical practices. AutoNation, you just lost a customer for life.

Autonation Volkswagen made the purchase of my Passat TDI a pleasant experience two years ago and the scheduled service has been great as well. The service department has accommodated me whether I scheduled in advance or just dropped by. I would hate to see vehicle recall since I love everything about my car, but I feel confident that this dealership would do their best to satisfy the customer.

I purchased two cars on the same day from AutoNation Volkswagen Richardson. It had been a long day of looking at cars and from the minute I drove onto the lot, I knew that this dealership was unlike any other I had been to that day.We were helped by THE BEST salesperson I have encountered in all my years of buying cars. Before I even test drove my CC, Concepcion "Connie" Flores, had told me more about the car than I had learned after test driving the same model on other lots.I have to admit that I have never in my entire life walked into a dealership, met the salesperson and thought, "I really hope I like the cars here because I want to buy one from her." THANKS CONNIE!!!!Once we decided on the cars, we met with the Finance team and they were just as informative and helpful.I just took my car back into AutoNation Richardson to have the license plate put on the car, and the customer service experience in the Service Department was just as refreshing. They were courteous and extremely fast. I will be taking my car back to them for as long as I own it.If you are looking for a VW, don't go anywhere else in

I have always brought my car to the Richardson dealership when I lived in Richardson. I have moved to Denton and have not found a good place to service my car. I decided to return to Richardson even though it is a longer drive. My service writer, Alex was awesome. He was courteous and professional. We discussed what needed to be done now and he made suggestions for what I should have done on the next visit. Alex was very knowledgeable and explained my service in lay terms. I will be coming back for my future services and will keep Alex as my service adviser.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT! Anyone that has rated this place for more than 1 star either hasn't used the service department or doesn't care about their car. I should've looked at the reviews for this place before I took my car there and ruined my brand new car's paint just for a nitrogen tire topoff!I have a brand new mustang with 8000 miles on it and got a nitro fill tire service package with it. With that service package, I can get my tires topped off with nitrogen whenever they get low for free. I got my car from a autonation dealer in fort worth but live in rockwall so this is the closest place to me that does nitrogen fills and I thought that with it being an autonation dealership, they would be reputable (wrong). I had several issues in my time there.1. The guy that drove my car to to back dragged his wet and dirty shoe completely across my door panel trying to get in, I didn't say anything, thinking that that was something minor and that I could hopefully clean it up later and not be able to notice.2. It took 20 minutes to fill 1 tire up! I requested 1 tire be filled and 1 only!3. They come back 20 minutes later and I see that there was a 6-8 inch SCRATCH literally in the MIDDLE OF MY DOOR!!!!! I forgot to mention that I went in on a rain day so my car along with every other car was wet and had beads of water all over it. I always walk my car over visually when I take it to a shop because I don't trust those careless, dang near minimum wage chumps, and for good reason it turns out. There was ironically an area on the door, right where the scratch was, where it had clearly been rubbed by shorts or a rag or SOMETHING, I'm not sure what but it clearly was touched because in the middle of that area that didn't have beaded water at the moment, there was the scratch along with wads of mud. This is right by my drivers door handles so i think i wouldve noticed the mud when I dropped it off and the scratch seeing as I've washed and more importantly waxed my car every weekend since I've had it with the weather permitting. I rubbed it as hard as I could hoping it was just some sort or surface mark but no, it was throu the clear coat. I asked to speak with the service director or some sort of manager and he came out to look at it with me and simply TOLD ME HE WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS!!! I was pissed to say the least before hand, but after he told me this, and I went back and forth with him and he wouldn't be responsible at all no matter what; for his careless employees mistakes. I am seriously furious. My door is going to need to be repainted and with them being irresponsible and being CARELESS ABOUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, I'm going to have to get this repainted so I don't have to be reminded of this event and the eyesore they created, everytime I walk out to my new mustang. I wonder if they did it because it was a mustang. I'm not sure why or how it happened. All I know is that it did and it was clear that it happened there being that the car was completely wet and beaded with water then when it came back there was that one spot that had clearly been rubbed by something and left a scratch. I would seriously drive up to 3 extra hours any way if thats what I had to do to avoid going to this service department again. I will never buy a Volkswagen or step foot at another vw dealership again. I hate Volkswagen/Audi even more than I did before this event. All in all, if you care about your car and it's physical appearance even more, DO NOT GO HERE. Spend more time or whatever it takes to go somewhere else.

My service rep explained the service my car needed. He also inspected the car to see if anything else was needed. I was fully informed about what was to happen and what was expected. He asked about my transportation to work. I felt that my car was in good hands when I got into the dealer shuttle. James told me to expect a call around noon. Just before noon, he called me to tell me my car was ready. The shuttle returned me to the dealership and my cost was exactly what he told me it would cost. James exceeded my expectation of excellent customer service.

I've had service on my 2010 Volkswagen CC completed at this dealership multiple times and have always had a positive experience. The last time I went, I knew I would need a loaner car, so I let John Holton, my service advisor, know and he had it ready when I arrived. All of the necessary services are fully completed and issues resolved - they even replaced a bulb without me needing to ask for free!I definitely recommend!

They were able to get me in on the morning I called, and although she initially thought the car would have to stay over the weekend, it ended up being ready that evening! Couldn't reproduce radio problem, so wil try that again later, but other tire patch was covered by a coupon they had just sent me, along with a free "pit stop" (fluid check, etc). Victoria was great to work with as always...she explains everything and wants to make sure the customer has a great experience!!

I've been looking for a Passat SE for a while, and I found it at autonation vw richardson dealership, which scammed me twice in a row within a month. Shenanigan no. 1: On 1/11/2014, I went to autonation vw richardson dealership for the 2014 Passat car with mileage 14k. The final agreed-upon OTD price was $19,300. The manager who made the deal with me was Mr. Chris Denman. $500 was charged on my credit card as a car deposit. I did not have the car loan paperwork with me at the moment. So I put the deposit down because the sales said that a deposit means the car could not be sold to anyone else for as long as a week. The sales told me that I can bring in the car loan paperwork back and he assured me that the car would be held in the lot for me to pick up by then. He then presented me with a purchase agreement on which the price was printed. Both Mr. Chris and I signed. Of course, he very conveniently forgot to give me my copy of the purchase agreement. Well, we would have thought that a verbal agreement and a signed purchase form, with a deposit put down have concluded a purchase contract of a tangible item. Right? Apparently, a shady car dealer would not think so as they dont care about any kind of business ethics on a binding deal. Two business days after, on 12/11/2014, I went back to the dealership with the loan paperwork, only to find out that the car was sold, without even a courtesy call to me. I was upset. So I requested to talk to the sales manager Mr. Christ Demn. To my surprise, he didn't bother to make any effort to explain whatever reason it was for the breach of contact. Instead, he said bye to my face, and that made me frustrated even more. Another sale man Mr. Mike approached me, offering a comparable car with a deep discount to compensate my loss. He seemed very sincere that I decided to give the dealership a second chance. Shenanigan no. 2: 5 days later, Mr. Mike reached out to me on 17/11/2014 to let me know that a 2013 Passat car with mileage 22.3k was up for sale. Another general manager offered to sell me the car for a final OTD price of $18300, I accepted. The dealership had intended to get the car's wheel retouched before I pick it up. So I was told to return on 28/11/2014 to buy the car. Everything seemed smooth. I had the car loan paperwork. The car I wanted was offered to me with a fair price. On 30/11/2014, I arrived the dealership, only to receive another nice surprise. They raised the agreed-upon price for another $500, after they committed to the deal! Did they have sellers remorse or just play games with me? I didn't know. So I asked to speak to the General Manager on site. The sale person told me that he was not there, ah, another good excuse for avoiding a customer and sell the car to someone else for higher margin. I have had enough with this shady car dealer. I'd never buy anything from them and I would tell everyone I know to avoid them. I have filed BBB complaint, and rate a zero star if I could on every single dealership reviewing website.

I've been coming to AutoNation Volkswagen Richardson for over a decade for the service needs on my VW. Their service prices are noticeably higher than nearby VW service centers, but they do provide critical perks such as drop-off/pickup shuttle service, loaner cars, complementary car washes that keep me coming back. Perhaps the most important reason to keep coming to AutoNation Volkswagen Richardson is the piece of mind knowing that your VW will not just be serviced for the reason you brought it in, but that the multi-point inspection may find items that need to be addressed before they get serious. This dealership often runs service specials which can help with the bill if you time it right.I should also mention that everyone I've worked with at the dealership is courteous and respectful of my time.

Bad experience. Took me 3 hrs on the phone to have finally an answer, 24 h after I left my car. They gave me a huge list $ 2000 on parts that needed to be change. I did not do it, but went to 2 others garages who confirm that half of the parts did not need to be replace!! really expensive garage.

It took two full days to replace two sensors and wiring but that's not the worst part. The service advisor actually left on the second day and never called me to tell me the car was ready. The poor woman at the service desk could not get any service advisor to answer the phone. She apologized several times and said it was not acceptable service. So, when I did pick up the car nobody was able to answer questions about the work that has been done. I'm actually going to trade the car so that I never have to deal with Auto Nation VW OF Richardson ever again. This is the third time I have had horrible service from them. They will not call you to give updates. You have to hound e "service advisors" to get an update. And every time, the car just happens to get done at rush hour. Avoid if possible.

I purchased my 2014 VW Jetta SE here in April, and the buying experience was great - couldn't have asked for better. Unfortunately since then, my view of the dealership has done a complete 180. Once my car got to about 1,000 miles, my brakes started making an AWFUL, LOUD noise unlike anything I've ever heard. The only way I know how to describe it is it is as though I have a family of seals, seagulls, or bats following me around wherever I go. The noise is loud enough to hear with the windows up and the radio on, but if you have the windows down you better have some earplugs. It is beyond embarrassing and something I would expect out of a 15 year old hooptie - not a brand new VW. I made a 7 a.m. appointment on Saturday with service advisor Bob King to get my brakes checked out, and he told me before they even took my car to the back that there might not be anything they can do. I of course asked him to elaborate, and I was abruptly told this is just a noise that VWs make but they'll take a look at it. Ok....About 2 1/2 hours in, I decided to check in with Bob to see if he had any news on my brakes. He tells me that everything looks great and there are no issues, as if I'm supposed to be excited about that. I ask, "What do you mean nothing is wrong with my brakes? Why are they making this horrible noise, then?" Bob proceeds to shove a piece of paper at me that apparently explains noises that are normal for VWs to make. Wrong answer. I bought my first VW in 2006 after graduating college, and I have owned them ever since. This new Jetta makes VW #3 for me. I am quite familiar with the cars, and I continue to buy them for a reason. Up until this point, they have always been reliable for me and very fun to drive. I ask Bob if there is someone else I can speak to about my brakes, and he says I am welcome to call VW. Excuse me?!?! *I* am supposed to call VW, about a fault on my brand new car that I bought from *your* dealership?!?! I didn't take that bait, so Bob tells me I am welcome to talk to the service manager. I walk inside, go into the service manager's office, and I immediately apologized because there was a woman in his office and I thought I was interrupting them. It later became apparent that he had a personal relationship with this woman "hanging out" in his office and I wasn't interrupting anything at all. I explained the situation to him, and he also told me there's probably not anything they can do for the brakes. He asked me if he got in my car right then, would it make the noise I'm talking about? I said, "I can't guarantee that, but please take my car to see." He replied, "Oh, so it's not a consistent noise." Excuse me? It's consistent in that it happens all day, every day, throughout the day, independent of the weather, outside temperature, etc. Does it happen 100% of the time though? No! And that's all I was trying to convey because I am not one to embellish details. After that exchange with the service "manager," it became obvious that I wasn't going to get anywhere with the dealership at all so I demanded they give me my car back.My plan? I have started documenting every time my car makes this god awful noise (which is a lot), I am making You Tube videos, and I will not stop until they decide to take my problem seriously. It's the only thing I know to do. I will be heard.

Being able to agree on a price for the car I wanted was only the first step in a positive buying experience. Steve Lin was as responsive to my online inquiries as he was over the phone. He took additional photos of the vehicle, procured and sent a copy of the original window sticker.Buying a vehicle online, out of state, having to fly out, purchase it, and drive it home was a first for me so there was considerable trepidation involved.Steve picked me up at DFW, took me to lunch, and made sure everything went quickly and smoothly so I could begin the long drive home.When you have salesmen who care about their customers you have the recipe for success.

The front seat on my auto required repairs. I brought the car in and was informed that it was not a warranted item. The service Manager sent photos in to VW for their approval. VW offered to pick up half of the cost. The dealership called when the cover came in and set up an appointment for the repair. Since it was going to be at least 4 hours for the repair, I was provided with a ride home. I was called twice while at home with updates on the cars status, and when it was ready, a car again picked me up at my residence to bring me back to the dealership. The car was ready, washed and cleaned inside, my bill was ready and I was on my way in 10 minutes. Excellent service, timely, and with smiles and greeting from everyone I dealt with.

Our family has purchased 5 cars in the past, and working with Steve is the best car-buying experience that we've had. The primary reason is that Steve does not have the I-got-something-to-hide quality that many sales in our experience exhibited. He is very upfront and transparent about what he/and the car could offer (or the lack thereof). Another thing is that he is very accessible even after hours. We had a few questions after getting the car, and Steve was able to address them very quickly.

I arrived at the Service Bay at 12:20 and was told that they may have to order a key for my father's car. Not that they would definitely, but that they might have to order it. 2 hours later they told me, well we have to order the key, oh and the other service to regrind the lenses on the headlights, well the guy who does that is not here today. I was not happy, but said ok, so they said it has been pulled around to be washed and you have to pre-pay for the key.Then the it became totally and utterly absurd. I waited about 20 minutes and went to pre-pay for the key at which time the service tech that was passing by told the cashier that he could not find the car. He began running around the lot looking for the car, and enlisted the sales person who had taken my information to begin with. An hour later, my father's car appeared, during this time I asked several questions. #1 How could you lose a car? Apparently if the panic button on your key does not work they have no way of locating it on the lot---note that I was there to replace a key. Does this sound a little bit like the laziest way to locate cars on a lot or is it me? Next since I had time on my hands I asked the strangest question, how do you not know if you have the key here or if you have to order it? To my shock the cashier said well we do not know until it is pulled around and put on the computer....to which I replied, so you can not tell by the year, make and model that you have to order the key? She said, no because it is done by the vin number....so theoretically it could be the same make, model, and year and you could carry the key to the red one but not the blue one?????? Go Figure!!! Those German engineers are sure well mind blowing! Needless to say, after leaving 3 hours later with nothing accomplished and just ridiculous answers I left to never return.On another note, had they just said we have to order the key, if you step inside and pre-pay we will torture you next week when it arrives, all would have been good. And just a heads up to management, instead of your staff running around baffled by the amount of business that they had during the week between Christmas and New Years, you might should give them a heads up. Like people are on vacation, and so they do not have to miss work or take a sick day to have their cars checked out, we might be busy.... just a thought I mean it would be like not warning the staff a Nordstrom that the day after Christmas was going to be a bit on the busy side. The staff were overwhelmed, befuddled and a bit on the bewildered side for my fabulous three hour observation.

Everyone with car trouble hopes to find a car shop they trust. Im 52 years (young) and since my early twenties, Id always been told the LAST place to take your car for service is the Dealer. Ive always relied friends and relatives for references for the best neighborhood mechanic, because their labor is typically HALF of what a dealer will charge and they NEVER treat you like youre just another number in the assembly line. But my confidence in Dealership Service Centers was COMPLETELY restored when I stumbled into AutoNation Volkswagen in Richardson and met Pete Nicholson and his service manager Steve Mulholland. I have since been back three times over the years to service my 2006 Jetta, and time and time again these guys continue to blow me away. Not only is their customer service over-the-top, our family mechanic of 10 years couldnt even match their prices ok, ONCE when I needed repairs they were $45 dollars higher than our family mechanic, but in fairness, our mechanic said in order to beat AutoNations bid, he would have to use aftermarket parts. I love Eddie, and my family still uses him for their Hondas & Toyota, but I figured if the DEALER is only $45-$50 more and Im getting Volkswagen parts installed by Volkswagen certified mechanics it was worth the difference! Its important to remember you're not just paying for the cost of the parts and the time it takes to install them, you're also paying for the technical expertise of the technician. The last time I went to AutoNation was 3 weeks ago, because my air-conditioner quit working. I thought it was the compressor or blower fan, but it was far worse. I needed new belts; new hoses, a new Air-conditioning control switch and the mount that held the radiator had broken lose. I checked around, and the best price I could find was nearly $1,600 my family just didnt have it. Pete and Steve knew my family and I were financially challenged that particular month, but refused to let me drive around in the Texas Heat without air-conditioning. The shop was slammed at the time and they needed to run a full diagnostic on my vehicle. They told me they would need me to leave the car for a few days. Even though they had an Enterprise Rent-a-Car next door, they gave me a Demo to drive for the 10 plus days they had it in the shop, which save my family hundreds of dollars in rent-a-car charges. But the icing on the cake, was they were able to do the repairs for just under $1,100!! If you have a Volkswagen, take it to AutoNation and ask for Pete Nicholson, then go inside the Service Center lobby and shake hands with the Service Manager, Steve Mulholland. His door is ALWAYS open and they are the nicest and most professional neighborhood mechanics youll ever meet it just so happens they work in a Dealership. My name is Bart Hermer and I am an AutoNation Customer for life.

This was simply the best vehicle purchase experience that I have encountered in all my years, and that great experience was provided by Gary Blakley. He is a true gentleman and arguably one of the best sales consultants you would ever encounter. Simply by the way he listens to your needs and shares his experiences and knowledge as if you were part of his family.The Volkswagen dealership at Richardson by far was clean and organized. The employees are really friendly. The vehicle I test drove was super clean in and out. I really thought I was driving a brand new vehicle. The vehicle was a certified Volkswagen Jetta and after consulting with Gary, it made total sense to buy a certified vehicle that had a warranty and was inspected by certified Volkswagen mechanics. I found the same vehicle cheaper at an independent dealership but with higher mileage, no warranty and not in pristine condition as the one I test drove at the Richardson dealership. As my grandfather would say, A penny wise, a dollar foolish.The sales experience does not end with the signing of the financial paper work in which the financial person named Mustafa was kind and knowledgeable, but after the financial paper work was completed, there was a young gentleman who showed us to our car and answered any questions we had with the vehicle options and setup my mobile phone to the vehicles Bluetooth phone system.To top it off, I get a call from Gary on the weekend just to check to see how the vehicle and I were doing. I totally recommend this dealership and Gary Blakley!

On July 29, 2013 I took my 06 Jetta in because it had a hesitation in it. The service was performed great to my satisfaction and I was told that I had an exhaust system leak in the EGR Cooler also told it was not an emergency and when the hole got big enough a light would come on in the dash panel and it would be time to get it fixed.. the price would be approx. $1150.00. On about Aug 13 I received a call from Jim Wilson who said he was with AutoNation and he had worked a special for me to get my car fixed for $658.00 plus tax and that it would take approx. 2 hours. I took the vehicle into the dealer on Aug 20th. at 10:30am at 1:30pm I ask if my car was about fixed and was told by Mr. King that it would be about 2 more hours. Mr. King also said Mr. Wilson did not know how many hours this would take. I received my carat 4pm and the work order said: "Removed and replaced EGR Cooler test drove vehicle after repairs. MIL was caused by intake flap motor Tech set basic settings on it. it may need intake flap motor. I left the dealership and on the way home the light came on again on the dash. I returned to the dealer at 4:30 and was then told the intake flap motor needed to be replaced which was done at a reduced cost of $264.47 by Mr. King. I left the car and was given a car to drive home. when I picked my car up the next morning at 11am it was so hot that I could not touch anything inside. I thought the heated seats had been left on. I have never been in a vehicle so hot. I find it very strange that I was told when the light comes on in the dash it will be necessary to get it fixed and the intake flap motor not fixed at that time. I do not fill I can completely trust what your mechanics tell me. Curtis B Clements

While this visit was just "routine service", the service department in general, and Pete in particular, were very considerate of my time. They gave me a detailed explanation of what they would do but, most importantly to me, gave me a good time estimate of "how long it would take" giving me the information to make decisions about when to do the work and whether or not to wait onsite.The work was completed on time with particular attention to several issues I raised before the service. The car was clean when presented to me and the "next service" steps were also explained.

I worked with Michael to sell a vehicle to the Dealership and from the moment I started to talk to him I felt he trusted me based on the condition of my vehicle and I really liked that about him. I tried to sell my car on my own online with no good luck however Michael offered me a very competitive price and gave me a price guarantee on it for up to 10 days on my car. When I finally arrived at the dealership I was there no longer than 10 minutes and he was able to review the vehicle from top to bottom and gave me a great offer in no time flat! In summary Michael was very friendly and professional and a true role model leader for the entire dealership to look up to. I would recommend him to anyone looking to trade or sell their vehicle too.

I moved from California and had been taking my car to the same dealership since I bought it. The service was exceptional there and I was concerned about finding a place in the DFW area. I initially to my car to AutoNation Park Cities off of Lemmon and I would NEVER go there again. The first time I took my car it was for an issue which Park Cities had attempted to fix three times and charged me every time they got it wrong. Everyone was very nice, professional and considerate of my time and the money I had already spent at a separate dealership. I've been at least six or seven times since my first time a couple of years ago and every time, the experience has been consistent. You will definitely feel that they care that you know you are on the road in a safe and reliable vehicle. They always ensure you have transportation to and from the service as well as while your car is being serviced. They have always been professional and courteous. I have never felt overcharged and they have always been upfront and clear on all charges prior to any work being done. Additionally (and I have had a good amount of work done on my car) they have always managed to stay within the initial estimate. Nothing worse than being told that the car will be $500 then two to three calls later you end up picking up your car and paying $1200. I would and have referred people to this dealership and would continue to do so.

First of all, this dealership is by far the best VW dealership in the DFW metroplex - it's the cleanest, nicest, has a great selection, and the staff are all very supportive and genuine. Nothing about this place is sketchy or uncomfortable. I actually feel like it's a place where I can relax and think things through - the environment removes the most basic of anxiety that comes with purchasing a new or used vehicle.Second, Josef Puhringer is the best sales consultant. He is a very calm, classy person to get to know and do business with. He does not rush you, yet he will quickly work very hard for you at focusing in to what you value in a car. He knows how to find you something that you will truly love for years to come. He is patient and will truly be your advocate. He completely takes away the anxiety of making a big decision like buying a new car. He's been doing this for a long time, knows the VW cars & brand for decades, and is a foremost expert on all things German. I highly recommend asking for him as you cannot go wrong with this location and will truly love having found Josef - you will thank me later!Off enjoying my new Passat - a great feat of engineering, thank you Josef!

I bought a used Honda & extended warranty at another AutoNation dealership farther from my home. I was told to take it here for oil changes since it was the AutoNation dealership nearest my home. When I called for an appointment I was asked to be there in an hour. When I arrived Jessica greeted me & said it would take a little longer since I had a Honda & they would have to get my parts. She said I should have called a day before! I explained that I had called & been told to come now. I asked how long & she said an hour. I'd already dropped what I was doing & driven there, so I said I'd wait. Over 2 hours later my car was finally ready. I should have asked the price in advance. I didn't expect an oil change to cost $100.94. That included a free tire rotation & car wash. Discount Tire would have rotated my tires free. (Yes, even though I didn't buy them there I've been a good customer for years & they'll take care of me.) I could have taken care of the car wash at Star Car Wash myself for $5 or paid $15 & had it done for me. I felt I was held up, but my mistake for not asking the price in advance. Then after I left I discovered they didn't reset my oil life feature, oil was spilled all over under my hood, & according to my receipt the wrong oil was used! My son did some checking & found out that my first oil change with my warranty was supposed to be free. (They had pulled up my warranty information & should have known.) He went back with me and got the other issues taken care of. The service manager was very nice & did get the problems corrected. He explained that they are a Volkswagen dealership and aren't equipped to take care of Hondas. Why didn't they just tell me that to start with? I would have gone elsewhere. So I wouldn't recommend anyone go there for service with a car other than a Volkswagen.

I purchased a new VW Toureg from this dealership. The purchase experience was great. I love the car. I was treated very well. Service after the sale was weak. They never called me to let me know the part was in or not so when its the day that my appointment was scheduled, I call and they dont know anything about it. I talked to 3 different people and every time i have to repeat my story and what i need. This was frustrating to me because I live an hour away from this dealership and I blocked off my day to bring the car in and when its time, they don't know anything about my appointment or the reason for it. When I was there the first time they needed to inspect the car, everyone seemed so busy and out of order. They seemed rushed and running around and 3 people I spoke to, although i had to tell them all the same thing, none of them seemed to have time to listen to me. Of course they will not know what I am here for the second time, because the first time they were all too busy to take the time to listen to me, care for my concern, and appreciate my appointment and the fact I came to service my car at their location. I dont want to single out one person in the service department, because it seemed like a culture of busy flustered workers.. perhaps 3 very busy people all ask if I had been helped but no one really helped me. Oh and before leaving they ask me to give them a good score on their email survey, which I did last time.

Was offered something to drink several times during visit. This is our first VW and I plan to continue a relationship with this dealership and salesperson. My situation was not idea as I was upside down on another car, but Gary worked with us and we feel that we made a good deal that wasn't as painful as a deal another VW dealership offered previously. Although their space is limited at dealership, I would highly recommend taking the time to check them out and ask for Gary Blakley.

My wife and stopped by the dealership on a whim just to look at the new Beetles. We were greeted Josef Puhringer who agreed to answer any of our questions. We explained to Josef that we were just looking. Josef took the time to show us around and was very knowledgable about the product. He offered test drives of any of the cars we had an interest in and put no pressure on us what so ever about "would we buy the car today if it was priced right" etc. it was obvious Josef knew his product and its value.We ended up deciding on an EOS. Josef worked with his management to come to the terms we wanted and has provided all the assistance after the sale we could hope for, usually more then we expected.If your in the market for a Volkswagon vehicle, we would definatly recommend asking for Josef Puhringer.

This was my first time buying a car. So, being a first-time buyer, I would have been very upset if the salesman would have been pushy and not knowledgeable. Thankfully, Steve knew what he was talking about and did a great job of making sure I was happy with the decisions I was making. The price was not "great" because the car was slightly over my budget, but I believe the car is worth it. Because I am very picky about waiting and I was really hungry, the waiting time made my overall experience only "good."

Gary Blakely is awesome as always. We have purchased our 6th VW with this dealership and with him. We were happy about our purchase even though there are things that I would change about the car we selected (Darker seat, better upgrades such as push start, LED lights and the camera, and the ability to switch out our wheels for a different kind, but we are leasing so I understand). This rating is based on our experience with Gary Blakely and the service men/women we have dealt with with Boardwalk such as Terry and Tie. We just may purchase our 7th car with Gary as well.

Josef was very helpful in finding the right Tiguan for us. He was extremely knowledgable and his attention to detail was superb. The car was for my wife and I was very impressed that he talked mostly to her in determining what we wanted. Josef connected with us very quickly and very well. He worked hard to understand what we were looking for before he tried to show us different car options. He was terrific in allowing us to test drive the car - and was exceptional in pointing out important details about the car. When it came time to discuss the total transaction price (new car value and trade in), he did a great job of discussing what the dealership could do and also in understanding our point of view. All in all, it was a tremendously satisfactory transaction.

Bob met me within 1 minute of driving into the service bay. He took my information quickly and professionally. I needed four new tires (I knew exactly the brand and model) and I wanted my alignment checked. I grabbed a complimentary cup of coffee and then settled into one of their comfortable sofas in the customer waiting room. Bob came out about two hours later and reviewed my alignment check. It needed an alignment and Bob said he could give me a $20 discount, which made it reasonable. After discounts, the price of the tires and alignment were competitive with Discount Tire. The tires also came with free rotations and balance for the life of the tires, and free tire replacement for any damage the first year. Very pleased!

I came to AutoNation Volkswagen in response to an ad listed in Autotrader for a 2010 Ford F 250. As I walked into the dealership, I was immediately greeted by Mr. Donnie Baldwin. He was friendly and solicitous of my wants. He gave me a very thorough review of the vehicle in which I was interested. He was very knowledgeable, and even shared the history he knew of the vehicle. He was not pushy or aggressive in any way, which I appreciate very much. We took a test drive, and he continued to point out various features of the vehicle. When we returned, he asked if I might like to get my trade in vehicle appraised. Donnie made me comfortable in the building as I waited and soon returned with a number I found to be fair.In our dealings on cost, he was very straight forward with me, and did not subject me to numerous trips back and forth to the sales manager. He simply asked me where I needed to be and worked with me to help me get there. Donnie also made a committment to repair a small scratch on the hood of the vehicle, which I appreciated very much.My finance session with Michael Weimer was likewise very pleasant. This usually lengthy process was done as quickly as possible, and explained very clearly and professionally by Mr. Weimer.I would and will recommend this dealership to any of my acquaintances in the market for a car.

He is one of the reasons that I came to this dealership and wanted to work with him. He worked with me through a few issues that came up with the original car that I signed me lease for and in the end still got me a great car that I enjoy.The leasing/finance representative I worked with( I do not remember his name) I found to be somewhat rude during both of my visits to pick up my car and finalize the paperwork. He seemed annoyed that I asked questions and just wanted me to sign and get out of the dealership. For someone like myself who was making their first lease/purchase on their own I was obviously a little nervous and wanted to make sure I got all the information that I needed and I felt rushed.

I am came to this dealership to buy a new 2013 Passat since I did not get the price I was looking for at a VW dealership in Lewisville. They were not willing to negotiate a single penny below MSRP, I was shocked and I am glad I did not buy from them.I started to look elsewhere and I am so happy I bought a car from Josef Puhringer! I felt like he is the best car salesman on the Planet Earth that has Ever existed PERIOD! From the moment I called the dealership in the morning to talk to sales he was happy to help me find a 2013 Passat that I was looking for. I told him what I wanted and he called me back lightning fast within 5 minutes to tell me he had the vehicle I wanted in stock and ready to sell. I made an appointment to see the car that evening and he even told me they would negotiate on the price even below MSRP and they sure did! I got a great car at a discount price that was fair for both me and the dealership. Josef ALWAYS was very professional, patient, a great attitude and had a big smile on his face for the whole duration of the sale. Once I went through finance Josef gave me a very detailed overview of the vehicle from outside to inside with an excellent explanation of ALL the vehicle features. The next morning I got a follow-up call from Josef to confirm that we were happy with the purchase and I told him yes I was and I will definitely come back and buy my next car from him. Josef treated me with great respect and dignity and he was very humble and more friendly than most people that I have ever met in my life.Bottom Line if your in the DFW area and want to buy a Volkswagen look no further than the Amazing, Superb, Most Excellent Mr Josef Puhringer, a very honest, friendly, and professional Salesman expert on VW.I also wanted to acknowledge the finance gentlemen I believe his name was Darren? and also Darrick and Michael for approving my offer on the car!

That is when I met Pete, he saw me standing there looking around and he took charge of the situation. I was immediately relieved and pleased. I told Pete why I was there (primarily an oil change) along with some areas of concern that I wanted checked out and priced but not worked on. Pete followed up via my cell later with all of my concerns addressed. I arrived back at VW to pick up my car. Pete saw me in the waiting room and told me everything was done and just needed to do the paper work. I did not wait very long and was pleasantly surprised by Pete's attentiveness (but, not overdoing it :-) ). He was polite and even offered upfront if I wanted my long-time S.A. instead. I politely declined as I wanted to see how Pete would perform (as I already know how GREAT Tie is!) and he performed outstandingly !!

Our son's car broke and we needed to replace it quickly. We saw the Springtoberfest TV commercial so I went to AutoNation for more information. Mostafa Abou-Auf was asked to help me. He very quickly understood what I needed, explained the Springtoberfest deal and took me for test drives so I could evaluate several models that were on hand. We selected a car and Mostafa and Mike Trammell made the paperwork easy. We were done within 3 and a half hours. Since our purchase, Mostafa has been very responsive and supportive of our son and his young family. We appreciate the warm response we've consistently gotten from AutoNation.

I have been looking for a vehicle to replace my 2007 BMW Z4. I considered a Porsche 911, Audi S5, Mercedes S class, and Cheverolet Camaro and the Dodge Challenger. My usual searches can last for months as I think that an automobile purchase is a very important decision. Through my search, I realized that what I wanted was a sporty car and a manual transmission. A few other features were important, but those were near the list's top. As I came closer to making a decision, I realized that I wanted to lease or buy a vehicle that was much less expensive than the high end cars that I started with ($60-$70k). Then I had a flash, get a VW in the $20 to $$30k range with most or all of the features I want. And I found the Beetle to fit that bill. As a 2012 the car was priced down to arounfd $20,000, my trade was at my target (without negotiating) and the vehicle had a 2.0 Turbo, leather and many other features available with a newer car.In this experience, I worked with Charles. Charles was a really nice guy and very knowleddgable. We talked VW and went through all of the features of the car. Charles explained what was available with regard to a lease or purchase choice. And of course the test drive. Charles took me on the road and directed me to areas were I could experience different driving conditions, ie. highway, residential, country...The experience was informative and fun. I am looking forward to enjoying my new Beetle as well as stopping in to say hello to the staff at AutoNation VW.

Mo was very good and made us feel good about our purchase until the next morning when we saw our vehicle (same vin number) being advertised for $300 less than we paid for it. They claimed it was a mistake even though we have it in print. Left a bad taste in my mouth for feeling that I received a good deal and that I could believe them. Also, when I called to make an appointment to have my license plates put on, a software update and car wash, I was told it would take from 60 to 90 minutes. It took over 2 1/2 hours before I was able to leave. I'll go somewhere else from now to wash the van. Altogether, I liked Mo and Tie but the overall experience was less than I had hoped for. I would recommend the dealership but not as much as if didn't feel like I paid too much for my vehicle.

My experience with Boardwalk Volkswagen(now Autonation) was top notch as soon as I arrived. The sales manager greeted me quickly and was soon followed by Jeff Cox. All of the employees at the dealership were extremely helpful without being "pushy". Jeff took the time to cover every detail concerning the CC I was interested in. He demonstrated all of the electronics and pointed out the advantages of each until I was comfortable. The negotiation process concerning my trade in, and the price of the CC, was without pressure or drama. Within the first five minutes of my arrival, Jeff said "if you are serious about buying a car, you will drive it home when you leave." He was right! I give Boardwalk/Autonation the highest ratings because of my experience with the dealership and they are far above past experiences at other dealerships. Jeff and Kristin have already contacted me to see if I was happy, and it has only been 48 hours since the purchase. A great experience.

I have nothing but nice things to say about this dealership. I bought a new 2011 Jetta from Park Cities VW and have been taking it to Boardwalk VW in Richardson for service. Robert King has always been amazing when taking care of maintenance and any issues. I've always liked my Jetta but really wanted a Golf. VW wanted my Jetta, so I worked with Gary to exchange it for a Golf TDI. He was very personable, professional, down to Earth, and friendly. He actually cared about my interests, found the right car for me, and got me a great deal without any hassle. All of the other service staff members have been very kind and I can tell Volkswagen of America is very customer driven. I highly recommend this dealership!

This is my second purchase from Boardwalk Volkswagen in Richardson TX. A couple of years ago, I purchased a 2009 VW Pre-owned and Certified Tiguan and Josef Puhringer was our salesman. Josef was outstanding in every respect. He was instrumental in helping make every aspect of the Tiguan purchase a pleasant experience (and I can tell you, I absolutely hate buying a car from a dealership.) I had such a good experience with the Tiguan purchase, that I drove across town again last week (I live closer to Lewisville VW) to do business with Josef. Always cheerful and knowledgeable of the product, Josef actually takes the time to listen to his customer and tailors his assistance to what the customer needs. I am a retired military officer, very picky, almost 60 years old, have owned many vehicles and am hard to please. I can honestly tell you this, by far, has been my best car buying experience at a dealership and it is due, in great measure, to the services provided by Josef Puhringer.Whenever I encounter a friend who is considering purchasing a VW, I will highly recommend that Josef Puhringer be their sales rep. My 2009 Tiguan will eventually need to be traded and I look forward to doing business with Josef in the near future. He is definitely an outstanding asset to Boardwalk Volkswagen !!!!

This was the second purchase from Steve and this dealership, the last being in June of 2012 (not very far apart). We don't live close to this store, but from our attempts at another dealership it as worth the drive out there. Both times we have been taken care of to the highest standards. We were treated the same whether we bought used (the first one) or new (the second one). The pricing was better than the local competition both times so already we were considering the distance for the better price. But the customer service definitely was the deciding factor. Our spur of the moment decision to purchase again led us out to the dealership after work on a Thursday, putting us there around 8:00 PM. The only heads up we gave them was wanting to see a couple brand new Beetles. By 8:30 we were test driving two different models, and shortly after we were working on financing. Financing usually takes the longest, as we are in a similar business and we have to stay late regularly to get this part of the deal done, and we were the customers now in that situation, the dealership closed at 9:00 but they were still going ahead with everything as if it was normal hours. We finally got things all wrapped up and drove out of there about 9:45 with a brand new Beetle with everyone still treating us just as friendly and excited for us with our new purchase. Being that late we had not even seen the car in the daylight, or had a chance to go through everything on it before taking it home. Unfortunately we found a couple cosmetic issues and one other small item, but Steve didn't hesitate to offer to pick up the vehicle, get all of our concerns fixed and return the vehicle back to us. These are the kinds of details that make a dealership stand out from the rest. To us, it makes it worth it to drive an hour to get there, and when it's time for service, we will take it there as well even though we have a dealership 5 minutes from our house, literally.

I haven't had a new car for many years and have always been partial to Volkswagon because I learned to drive on a 1966 Bug. I looked at the variety of reasonably priced small fun cars out there and the Beetle was the best quality by far. It is a very well thought out car and I am thrilled with my purchase. I got a white manual transmission 2.5L 2013 Beetle with navigation, sound, and sunroof. That particular car was in short supply, so Gary Blakley found the exact car I wanted at another dealer and had it brought to Boardwalk. The car is beautiful and I am overwhelmed with the quality of the vehicle and appreciative of the knowledgeable help I received from Gary. He really made a huge effort to see that I got the exact car I wanted. Also, Gary was able to get my family the right price so we could afford the car. If you are looking for a fun car to drive with lots of perks, I highly recommend the Volkswagon Beetle. As a die hard Honda Prelude owner, I never thought I would find anything that came close to it in quality. Thankfully, the personable, friendly help of Gary Blakley, Mostafa Abou-Auf, Michael Trammell, and Kirks McCoy enabled me to find a wonderful new car! Thank you Boardwalk!

We purchased a used 2005 GTI for my son recently. It is a fun little car, and he loves it. We had 2 occasions to perform service, and both were good experiences. On the first, we were also notified of some VW warranty work that was performed without any additional cost. Had we used our regular mechanic, we would not have even known about this. In the second case, Boardwalk quoted work on the engine that was about the same price as other non-dealers. So, it made sense to have the work performed by those best trained on the VW cars. We also are impressed with very friendly staff, with high focus on customer satisfaction.Best regards,Larry Rehn

If it were not for Josef Puhringer, I would not be a customer of Boardwalk Volkswagen. My wife, Becky and I met Josef in 2009 when we leased a 2009 CC and the experience could not have been better. It's the reason we came back last week and leased a 2013 Touareg. His knowledge of the Volkswagen line-up is beyond reproach and his ability to understand the need of his customer is unlike that of any sales person I have ever met. I would definitely recommend him above all others and if he were to ever leave and to sell for another dealership, they would have my business.

We have been happy Boardwalk service customers for many years and when it was time to buy a new car we used the resources on the internet such as a DealerRater and other buying tools to ensure others were as happy as we have been and that we could get a fair trade in and reasonable price on a new VW. We had an excellent new car buying experience with Bret and the rest of the sales team at Boardwalk VW. Trade in value was very fair, as was the negotiation process on our new car. Bret was excellent through the whole process and he allowed us to take our time, with no high pressure sales tactics as we reviewed the models we were considering. Overall highly recommend, not only from a sales perspective but service as well.

This is my second time to purchase w/ Mark and he exceeded my expectations once again. The entire process was so quick and painless. I told him what I wanted to pay and he delivered. The negotiation process was shorter than the amount of time I spent reading a magazine waiting to sign the paperwork. Both Mark and Michael were so incredibly friendly that I'm very happy to give my loyalty to Boardwalk from here on out.

On a day that was a little colder and icier than normal, Donnie went out of his way to show us the car we viewed online and get us into a test drive. The car was exactly what we were looking for and after working the pricing issues we drove away very happy customers. The bottom line is Donnie took his time to show us the car, explain it's features and listen to our input. He worked the deal quickly and efficiently without any games. Michael did a great job on the business end of the transaction. Again, he worked quickly and efficiently, but took time to answer every question we had. This is our second car purchase at Boardwalk VW. We expect to return!

Gary Blakley and Bill Gironda were great to work with. There was no nonsense and we were able to turn around the whole deal in less than 24 hours. I'm extremely pleased with the certified used purchase. The only very minor thing I might mention is that they could have let me know about the lease return fee credit you get from VW Leasing if you buy another certified VW (it was a nice surprise after the sale, but would have made my decision to go with Boardwalk even easier). Great job all around, though.

In relocating to the Dallas area from California just over a year ago, I've been very impressed with Boardwalk; especially the service staff. The service advisors are always very welcoming, knowledgeable and I've always had my car delivered at or before the time promised.On this visit, the most major service to date (40k), Terry took the time to explain the work that would be performed and gave me an excellent summary upon completion. Also on this visit, I used the shuttle service to take me home and as with the advisor, Tony was very polite, courteous and most helpful.I will continue to have my Jetta TDI serviced at this dealership and will most certainly consider Boardwalk when its time for a trade-in.

I love Volkswagen! I had a Jetta for 10 years and knew I wanted another VW, but I needed more space. After days of researching and reading reviews of the Tiguan, Rogue, and Juke, there was no doubt the Tiguan was the better SUV. After seeing the Tiguan in person and taking a test drive, I was sold. I paid more than I wanted to, but I truly feel it's worth every penny. Hopefully my Tiguan will last as long as my Jetta. Kenneth was really nice and helpful and I can't wait to go back and take my picture for the calendar! I love that he/they do that. My friend is on her 2nd VW and we always talk about how we feel like we're a part of a special group of people and other people just don't understand our love of VW.

This was the fifth new car I have purchased and it was the best experience for several reasons. It all started with a call to the dealership to confirm that they had the car I was looking for. Josh took the call and was friendly and responsive. When I went to the dealership to test drive the car they were extremely busy (it was mid-afternoon on a Saturday) and Josh was already working with another customer. I was crunched for time so another salesperson (Will) went with me to test drive the car while Darrick started the paperwork so that I could compare both lease and purchase options. I decided to purchase because the finance terms were favorable. It only took 90 minutes from the minute I stepped in to the dealership and drove off the lot with my new car. I was impressed with how the team worked together and made the customer experience the focus and priority.

I will definitely recommend Gary to anyone looking to buy a VW.

I've been a customer of Boardwalk VW for a long time (since it was Central VW). I bought a 2001 Passat early model brand new and it has served me well. I brought it in for some service with Robert King. Robert is a great guy and he is honest and doesn't try to tell you that you need repairs that you don't need, which I have experienced with a Fort Worth dealer. While I was waiting for my car, a friend of mine and I were talking with Gary Blakley. I've known Gary for years and on my last review I said if I buy another VW it will be with Gary. Turns out I'd been thinking about another car because my car was getting to the point of having to put too much money into it. Gary was saying the same thing and he helped me(in a big way)get into a really nice 2010 certified preowned CC. He worked it so I got a great trade-in price for my 2001 and low interest on the loan so my payments are really manageable...and this was after most people go home from work. Gary is a cool head with a good heart and I recommend him highly. What makes him happy is to see other people happy. I drive a long way to this dealership because of these guys.

We had been looking for a new car for quite some time to match my wife's needs and settled on a 2013 Golf TDI. We went in to the dealership on a rainy Saturday (9/29) and wanted to test drive the golf in rainy conditions because we are concerned with safety and handling under adverse conditions. We had no intention of buying a car that day but thanks to Todd's help and kindness, we came home that night in a brand new car! We had very specific questions that Todd quickly answered for us and did his best to meet our high demands. He even had a car delivered in the color we wanted from another dealership before we even spoke the the gentleman in finance, who was not nearly as cordial BTW. In fact, we were so turned off by the initial words spoken to us in finance that we walked out the door. I happened to catch Todd on our way out and explained what happened and he convinced us to stay and give them another chance. Todd did everything he could to get us in our car that day and he is the reason why we have a car from VW Richardson. Since it was raining, he made an appt for us to get the car detailed on another day after we left. Todd has been responsive to every text and email and continues to prove that service is important. Thank you Todd!

First, let me advise that I hadn't purchased a new vehicle in 26 years -- since my last sports car as a single woman! Once the kids came, I was in hand-me-down minivans up until now. Choosing my VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI (to haul the dogs now, not the kids!) was easy after the first test drive. From my first phone conversation with Mark Sayers, fleet sales, I felt comfortable to cut to the chase with him and get our business done! He was always courteous, professional, knoweledgeable, flexible, understanding, and amenable. He answered his phone all the time, or returned my calls within a very short time frame to answer the many questions I had about the vehicle and our 'deal'. He made it very convenient for me to meet him at the dealership even if was not scheduled to be there (twice!) to meet at my availability. That impressed me. I always felt respect from him and that earned my trust, making the car-buying experience so much less stressful, and even - yes - easy. What also impressed me about Mark is that he didn't pretend to have all the answers, but he always knew who would. That exposed me to others at the dealership who were always friendly and helpful. This tells that the Boardwalk VW mission/credo obviously values the customer by providing excellent service and care, and for a new car buyer re-entering the market, that is a very welcoming attitude, and important differentiator! Thanks, Mark! I will definitely refer all my friends and family in the market for a new car your way.

A friend of mine referred me to Rick Bayon at this dealership and I was working with him for a couple of months back in June between a VW Tiguan LE and a VW Golf TDi before ultimately deciding on the TDi due to superior fuel economy and outstanding resale value. Then in August, I finally had a chance to visit the dealership so I can take advantage of the special incentives for TDI's, and Rick referred me to Jeremy Heuss who was a fellow enthusiast and definitely was able to relate to him on that level. At the visit, I somehow was stuck in a dilemma between a GTI and a TDi, and he let me test drive the two. After some thought between the two, I ended up deciding on the TDI finally and went straight to the dealership on Saturday August 25. During that time Michael Trammel, the finance guy, was very helpful with the purchase process and was able to explain all of the options available to me at the time. After being qualified for 1.9% went on to do some more signing and then got my keys to my brand new vehicle which marks my entry into the world of German vehicles and cannot be ever more satisfied with it. If you are looking to purchase a VW I strongly recommend purchasing one from Jeremy as he will be extremely helpful in shaping your purchase. Not only is he friendly but also very knowledgeable about VW's in general so rest assured on that. I am very happy to be driving my TDI with its 40+mpg and insane torque, and I will be referring everyone I know interested in purchasing a VW to him. Thanks Jeremy, Rick, and Michael and the rest of Boardwalk VW for everything!

I had a very positive experience at Boardwalk VW in Richardson, TX. I was particularly happy with my salesman, Yogesh Sheth. He was not a hard sell at all. He explained the different options very thoroughly, and he seemed very knowledgeable about the cars and the payment options. He didn't rush me at all. I felt like he was really helping me to arrive at a win-win solution. Connie Flores was great too. I got a very fair offer for my trade in, which had mechanical problems (I was very open about what the problems were), and I believe I got a good deal on the 2009 CC that I purchased. I definitely give Boardwalk, Yogesh and Connie a 2 thumbs up recommendation. Colin Wheeler

I have been a long-time and repeat customer of Gary Blakley and Boardwalk VW, and there are many reasons for it. Most recently, I went in to purchase a supplemental car for our family. Even with us being indecisive with several cars, Gary was very patient with us. Thanks to Gary, we found the exact car that met our "needs", as well as our "wants." There's something to be said for Gary earning my business for more than a decade. With help from Darren Medeiros, we were able to secure very favorable financing with the lending institution. Darren went the extra mile for us. We voiced our concerns regarding previous experiences with "spot deals" and driving off in the car, only to find out a day or more later that the terms either change drastically. Darren directly spoke to the lenders while we were present in the room and quickly got the approval. Gary, Darren, and Darrick (Sales Mgr) all worked diligently to get the final price/monthly payment exactly what it needed to be. Even though there is another VW dealership that is 5 minutes away from us and 20 minutes closer, we will continue to see Gary and the team at Boardwalk VW. Thanks all!

Since I was driving my fourth VW, and had spent a lot of time on the Boardwalk website, I had a good idea of what I wanted in a new Jetta. I met a gentleman in the parking lot who took a couple of minutes to talk with me even though he was already working with a customer. When I walked into the showroom I was greeted and made welcome by Josef Puhringer, as well as a couple of other gentlemen. Josef actually listened when I described the features I wanted and the color I was considering. After discussing these features as well as asking questions about things I had not even thought of, he found the perfect car and we took it for a drive. I loved it! We completed the paperwork and Michael Trammell in Finance completed the sale. Michael has a great sense of humor, by the way. I must say that this was the most pleasant experience I have ever had buying a new car. Thank you Josef for making it so.Linda T. Miller

We would highly recommend both Boardwalk Volkswagen of Richardson and Josef Puhringer. This was our first experience (9/15/12) purchasing a Volkswagen and we were extremely impressed with the high level of customer service. Josef was very friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. How fortuitous for the dealership, and us, to have a terrific native German salesperson representing VW in Dallas, TX. The dealership would likely sell even more cars if they only had more Josefs!!The bottom line is that he was able to quickly identify our needs and close the deal at a price that was right for us. The entire experience was organized and expeditious. We are totally enjoying our new turbo Beetle bug, and Josef made our purchase more fun and authentic! Fahrvergnugen!! Thanks for the awesome driving experience. We look forward to being customers for a long time!Sincerely,Christi and Craig Roberts

While your customer service is great except that you let Billy Cannon leave :) The price on repair parts is grotesque, especially when it comes to safety related parts.This the second time in 6 months I have come in because the air bag light was on. Last time it was a 3" cable harness at a hideous price. This time it was a $500 part. It's almost if the airbag light will come on at certain intervals and for a different reason. I've driven VWs since 1968 and never have I been picked to death on repair bills. I'm not sure if I'll buy another VW.

I went into the dealership to see about a check engine coming on. I told the service guy what happened and said it could take up to an hour and a half to check it out. I told him that was fine and I waited in the lobby. I would say about 30-45 mins later he came back and told me I needed replace a fan in my car and came up with a quote price with 15% off. I told him I didn't have the money for that right now, but would come back. Jose went over monitoring the temp in my car with one of my fan's not working. He than went to get my car and finish paperwork. When he got back with the paperwork I asked him which fan wasn't working because my car has two fans a big one and a small one, he went on to say both of them weren't working. This is when he originally told me that only one fan wasn't working. He than corrected himself and said only one was broken. I asked him which one and he said to pop the hood and I would be able to see. I was turned off by that response. I think as a service person of a VW dealership I think he should know his facts before saying a smart remark like " pop the hood and you can see." I always take my car to this dealership and have never felt more taken advantage of until now. After I left the dealership I noticed my check engine light isn't on anymore and I checked to see if my fans were working and bother are currently working fine. I go to a VW dealership because I thought they always look out for their best interest of the customer. I left feeling like he was just trying to get money out of me for a service my car didn't need. I don't to take my business elsewhere but I feel its the best interest for me to get honest service.

I took my daughter's car for an extended warranty repair. It had already been to one dealership, who charged me for the deductible, and non-warranty repairs. They did not fix the original problem, and said that they could not reproduce the problem, while they had the car. I had advised them that they had to drive the car, for a while, in order to see the issue.Kirks truly listened to my explanation of the problem, and made sure that they thoroughly checked into the problem. They found the exact problem we were having, repaired that and a couple of other minor problems, as well. They did not charge me beyond the deductible. There was a mix-up on the date the car would be ready for pick-up. Although this was not a big inconvenience, Kirks went above and beyond to make up for that small error.My daughter's New Beetle runs better than the day we purchased it (used, from another dealer). Boardwalk detailed it, so now it looks better, than when we purchased it.Kirks, and all the staff were friendly and showed great customer service.I would not hesitate to return or send friends to Boardwalk VW of Richardson. In fact, a couple of the other Boardwalk dealerships would do well to model their customer relations skills after the folks in Richardson.

It is well-known that it is difficult for auto business to earn trust and recommendations from customers. However, Bob King and Jason Lederer at Boardwalk at Richardson impressed me by their professionalism and ability to get to the bottom of the situation which every customer could experience at a dealership. I sent my Jetta TDI to their dealership for regular maintenance and found the windshield was broken after I had taken my car home. This situation is of course frustrating in any way. But when I went back to the dealership for an investigation, Bob King, Jason Lederer and certainly myself followed a standard and professional procedure to deal with this situation without any unpleasant argument. During the whole process, Bob King, Jason Lederer demonstrated a strong commitment to great customer service which should be highly commended. This incident has convinced me to do business with Boardwalk for years to come.

I have been a VW owner for the past 12 years and I have been very pleased and satisfied with my VW's performance, reliability and especially maintenance and service. Boardwalk is very customer sensitive in that they will go all out in their personal relationship with me the moment I drive in. Not only that but they have an excellent service area lounge that is very clean and comfortable and even provide me with coffee or tea and other goodies. Boardwalk even welcomes my big boy Mac, an English Labrador retriever.People waiting in the lounge love to come by for a little pet therapy when they see Mac.The world class service team here are a special breed of people who actually appear to love what they do - that is, to please the customer, me who came in for service.My repairs have always been done right the first time. Not only that but a couple of years ago I had a very unusual but minor problem with my [Pre-owned certified] 2005 Touareg that required much diligence and time to identify and correct. Well, I was more impressed than relieved to know that they actually identified what the problem was and replaced the defective part without question. Thank you my friends at Boardwalk VW, you have proven yourselves to me and now I'm a customer for life. HK

Once I test drove it and a final price was agreed (which did not take long at all), Mr. Joseph took the time to explain every little detail about the vehicle.

I brought my 2008 Jetta that I bought at Volkswagon boardwalk back into boardwalk last week because my check engine light was on. The service upon dropping my car off was friendly and I was told that I would get a diagnosis in a couple of hours. I received a phone call from Terry a few hours later explaining the diagnosis in detail and also that my battery was weak. The problem were my engine fans were blowing on high all the time, they would have broken soon. He told me because I had been a victim of the millennium scandal when I bought my car there, that they would be able to take care of the fans if I bought a new battery. I agreed, happily, and was to it would be 3 or 4 hour job. When I returned the lady who checked me out, terry, and a manager were all polite and used terminology I understood to explain what had been done and also answered some questions my husband and i had.

I hit a huge pothole in Dallas and knew that I could take my 10 year old beetle to Terry at Boardwalk VW and could trust that they would do a great job on it. I had a few weeks previous to this incident, taken my beetle to Terry to have the alternator replaced and was very happy with my service and treatment here.Terry has treated me respectfully and courteously, called me often and kept me updated on my vehicle, and has let me know what needed to be done more cost effectively.I really appreciate the way I've been treated by Terry and Boardwalk VW. In the past, I've gone to Rusty Wallis and been treated horribly and refuse to go there, so my trust of dealerships is pretty low. But so far, Terry has raised my trust up considerably. I will continue taking my beetle to him for service.

Boardwalk Volkswagen Richardson is EXCELLENT! I purchased by car back in 2005. The service was excellent then and still is. I moved to Houston, TX and brought my car to several of the so-call Volkwagen dealerships here in Houston. I always left with the same problem I started with. I gave Houston a try but after spending more money and time to continue with the same car problems, I decided to just take it back the Richardson TX Boardwalk Volkswagen Dealership. I called ahead and scheduled for my car service and repair for June 28, 2012. I was greeted by Ron Hollomon as soon as I drove up. I met the mechanic guy who was going to work on my car. He was the best and knew about Volkswagen/German cars. Please keep in mind my car was not driveable anymore. I had to carry it on a Uhaul tow. Not even 5 minutes after my car was there, the problem was discovered. A loaner car was given to us until my car was fix. We were also offerred to be driven to any destination if needed. The price was right considering all the work that was to be done. My car was cleaned and was never charged a fee. My car is running excellent now just as if it was brand new. I just want to thank Ron, his mechanic, and everyone that assisted us with our visit. There is no other Volkswagen dealership as great as this one. I will always bring my car there for all problems. Thank you, thank you, thank you....... My 18 month old son who was with us at the time is smiling now he can ride in Mommy's car safely again....

We called him on Wednesday and told him what our budget was and he worked to fine my son a car. When we arrived at Boardwalk Volkswagen Gary had the car ready for us to see and drive.

My husband and I were physically and mentally ready for a long and draining process, but we were taken by surprise at this dealership and with Margaret. I am so impressed with their great customer service! I did not feel pressured at all, I loved how her focus was on "our" needs and how she could help us meet them. We ended up driving out with a brand new car and the experience was amazing! I have already begun to recommend Margaret and Boardwalk VW. Great experience, friendly staff and amazing service. Absolutely thrilled with my choice of dealership and vehicle!

Terry Granger and Bob King were both absolutely wonderful to work with. I had an accident as well as some repairs that needed to be done and all were done great. Terry was super nice and friendly and did a good job communicating with me about the progress of my repairs. He was always very respectful and helpful and I honestly don't know what I would have done without him giving me a loaner car during the time my car was in the shop. (I am a teacher for Richardson ISD and was moving from one school building to another at the end of the year so not having a car would have been extremely difficult.) The other work I had done was my window was not rolling up. I was expecting a huge bill for this but Bob was able to get most of the repairs authorized through my warranty, something I didn't expect. It took a lot of back and forth but you got it done perfectly, without costing me a fortune. Bob has helped me many times and it has always been a great experience. He really listens to my concerns, which has not always been my experience at dealerships in the past. Accidents and car repairs are never fun but without all of Bob and Terry's help it could have been a horrible experience. In the end, it was not a big deal at all. I am very pleased with my expeience at Boardwalk. You have a customer for life!

Josef was very patient and helpful for me to find my new Passat. He was willing to go an extra mile for me. When we couldnt find a Passat with very low mileage at the dealers parking lot, he didnt mind to drive to their remote inventory lot to find the one with very low mileage on it even after 8:30pm. As a result, I got the one with only 12 miles on it.

Had searched internet before arriving so I knew exactly which 2 cars I wanted to see and I didn't want to be made to feel like I was being handled. The salesman was very accomodating and responded to my requests quickly. I have always been a "sleep on it person" when it comes to making a major purchase - even when it's the deal of a lifetime. I did not feel pressured into making a decision and because I felt comfortable dealing with the salesman and sales manager, I ended up making the purchase that same day.It seemed that everyone focused on making the experience pleasant - from the employees who purposedly stepped in front of me to ensure I never touched a door, to the finance manager who took the time to not just explain package options (the what) but made sure we understood (the why).Overall a pleasant experience and the best part is I now drive a beautiful car!

I visited the dealership concerning a warning light on my 2006 Tourareg. Terry listened carefully to my explanation of the problem and indicated that he would get a diagnosis as quickly as possible and provide me with a service plan. He directed me to the lounge and told me he would let me know as soon as a diagnosis was made. In a matter of minutes he was back with the diagnosis and plan. He explained that a part was needed but it would need to be ordered but the car was safe to drive. Terry indicated that he would call when the part arrived. It turned out that the part needed to be sent from Germany so it was a couple of weeks before the actual service was provided. When the part was available Terry called me and set up an appointment to service the car. He said he would get to work on it as soon as I got to the dealership and that I could wait for it to be completed. He was a man of his word and I was ready to go in less that two hours with a clean and fully functioning automobile.Not only was Terry pleasant and easy to do business with he was also very considerate of my time. He gave me the option on both of my visits to either wait or be taken home by one of your outstanding and courteous drivers.In summary, I was pleased with the service I received and will return without hesitation the next time I need service.

It was good as far as the services my car received, however I sat in this dealership for 3 and a half hours. The first time I was even updated on the status of my car I had already been sitting in the waiting area for over two hours. Had I known it would have taken that long to do the 30,000 mile servicing, I would have had a friend come and pick me up instead of sitting in the lobby listening to a screaming child for 2 and a half of the hours. Not exactly my ideal Saturday.

Jason Villa is one of a kind and never pressures you into making a purchase like most people in sales. It was a very pleasant and beyond satisfying experience. No matter where I am in the country, I will gladly jump on a plane to purchase from Jason again.

He went above and beyond to not only match us with the perfect car but to also make sure that we were getting the best service from the dealership after the purchase was made. He even called to make sure we arrived home safely after our three hour commute back to our home town. Steve was very patient and thorough in explaining all of the vehicle options which gave us confidence when we made our decision that it was the best option for us. Making the final deal could also not have been a more smooth and stress-free process. I know that for my next vehicle purchase I will be coming back to Boardwalk Volkswagen and asking for Steve!

Words cannot possibly describe the satisfaction that I have received from this dealership. I've owned a lot of cars in my life and dealt with a lot of crazy dealerships in the past. Boardwalk has to be the most professional and friendliest places I have ever purchased a car from. Jason Villa is not only a great sales manager but, but he's a fantastic leader of the best sales team I've ever had the pleasure of working with. When I walk in, everyone has a smile on their face and is happy to see me. And that's not just because I bought a car. They are happy to see me even after the buying experience and every time I come in to get my scheduled maintenance performed. Speaking of maintenance, the service department has been nothing short of excellence and treats me like a human being each and every time I come in. In my book, that speaks volumes. I have now purchased two vehicles back to back from this dealership and frankly, I won't go anywhere else as long as I own a VW. I have been nothing but satisfied every step of the way and I would recommend this dealer above all that exist.

The wife and I worked with Jason Villa and Brian Swarvar for our TDI purchase. This was not only a hassle free and enjoyable experience, it's the second vehicle we've bought using the same guys - and I can say that it won't be the last. The trust is what I felt will be bringing me back, both Jason and Brian do not have to worry about being labeled as "typical car salesman". I never felt rushed, pressured, or talked into something that I was not comfortable with. After the purchase(s), any question I had about the vehicle was only a phone call away, no matter how small. We have a Jetta TDI, we've already put over 30,000 miles on it and it drives just like the day we drove it off the lot. Whatever vehicle we buy next, I will be calling Jason Villa first.

My experience began with a phone call from Jeremy Heuss in response to an email I sent to various dealerships inquiring about availability of a 2012 Passat TDI. Jeremy promptly responded to my inquiry, and from the beginning of that phone conversation impressed me with his professionalism and knowledge of the vehicle. We scheduled an appointment for the next morning, met with Jeremy and Jason Villa, which confirmed my initial phone impression of Jeremy's professionalism and knowledge of the vehicle. That was my first contact with Jason Villa and he also impressed me with his professionalism and approach to evaluating my trade-in. They gave me a written quote on the new car and the trade-in in less than an hour, I went back home and thought about the transaction, called Jeremy back that afternoon and bought the car. Took it home that night. The time to complete the transaction was minimal, Jason Daniel completed the transaction in a very efficient manner (loved all the electronic "paperwork" process) and my wife and I were on our way home with a new car in less than 2 hours. In our opinion, this transaction could not have went smoother.

I have purchased cars at several different dealers and this is the first time I was able to walk in and drive out with a new car in a few hours. Charles Currier took the time to find out what I need in a new car and what my options were. This was not my first Volkswagen and Boardwalk in Richardson was not my first choice in dealers, however when I walked into the Boardwalk area and saw all the choices in colors and models I was impressed. I enjoyed my experience and am happy with Boardwalk dealership sales. Now begins the time I will need Boardwalk service, and my brief encounter with service has been great.

This was by far the best new car buying experience my wife and I ever had. All of the individuals we dealt with were courteous, professional, answered any and all questions, etc. There was no pressure - just an atmosphere of making the deal work for both us and the dealership. We are very happy to have purchased our new Tiguan from Boardwalk Volkswagon of Richardson.

Overall, Im pleased with my experience at Boardwalk Volkswagen. The bottom line is I trust them to work on my car. As a result, theyve been the only ones to service my car during the 8 years Ive owned it. Im guessing I could find cheaper rates elsewhere, but Im not willing to trade trust for value. The shuttle service they provide is something Ive grown rather fond of as well.

Our 2006 Touareg had been in for routine service the day before. The day prior to leaving for an extended journey, with the Touareg, an airbag fault illumination appeared on the master caution panel. With no advanced notice, the Touareg was brought to Boardwalk Volkswagen where Tayari Johnson greeted and immediately started to process the maintenance task. The service was enhanced by having the necessary parts on site and within a three hour window, the vehicle was fully operational. MS. Johnson kept us fully up to date with the progress and was very knowledgeable with her explanation. Her assistance with all matters relating to the service was greatly appreciated. The professionalism of Ms. Johnson and that of her colleagues eliminated a potential delay to the scheduled journey. Well done!

I saw a new Passat for sale on their website and talked to a sales rep regarding the published online sales price. He confirmed it and encouraged me to come see it in person. I took a test drive and the rep touted all the car's features. We went to his office and he went to his manager's office to get the price (even though I thought I knew what it would be based on our phone conversation). The price he showed me was $3000 more than the online price- not to mention and additional $800 for all the features he touted- and he was incredulous when I asked him what happened to the internet sales price. He finally explained that the online price was for leasing, even though this was not stated online and he did not mention this when I asked him about it on the phone. I voiced my displeasure and he then had the nerve to ask me If I still wanted to buy it. I firmly said no and left right away. Ten minutes later-once I am home- he calls me and tells me "you won't believe it, I got one thousand knocked off the price for ya." I tell him not to call me again as I am not interested in playing games and would not buy a car from Boardwalk even if they lowered the price five thousand dollars. Very disappointed in their misleading sales strategy and questionable business philosophy.

Although I have only had my Passat for one week, I am extremely happy with my purchase and even more happy with the gas mileage. More importantly, I felt very comfortable being in the showroom and with a friendly staff. The best part of my purchase was the quick buying process, Michael and the finance team had me in and out in a reasonable time. I would recommend Boardwalk VW to all my friends.

The entire experience was exceptional. My sales representative was friendly, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable about the Volkswagen product line. He had a great talent for bringing to my attention important features that I had missed without coming off as pushy. Boardwalk managed to get me a SEL Premium which are extremely hard-to-find at the moment. The financing team was excellent as well. Far from pushy, they help me select the best package for me.In short, this dealership realizes that they have an excellent product line and they provide correspondingly excellent service. Boardwalk will be my first stop the next time I need a vehicle.

It's been several years since I walked into Boardwalk VW in Richardson and knew the Jetta sitting there was the car for me. Today I can unequivocally say that I made the right selection -- not only for the car, but for the excellent service that has stayed with it over the years. Recently, I needed to call upon Boardwalk VW for maintenance on my car's interior headliner. Kim Lewis and the entire service team provided excellent and thorough service. Thanks to the VW team and a wonderful car, I remain a very satisfied VW owner. Best regards,Carol Griffin

Kim Lewis was very attentive and responsive to our needs. Having had his help recently on some major repairs to our vehicle, we had an urgent situation arise when my daughter came home from college and a problem developed in the car while she was on the highway coming home. I contacted his cell phone, and left him a message on a Saturday. He responded on Sunday, with instructions about what to do when bringing the car in for service early Monday morning. We needed to get the car repaired so that my daughter could get back down to school on Monday, and he worked hard to get our car repaired and she got back on the road on Monday afternoon. He worked with me on finding a small discount on the price (Volkswagen parts are not cheap), and was very friendly, responsive and attentive. When my wife and daughter picked up the car, he made it a point to greet them and had good customer contact. We appreciate Kim Lewis' customer service very much.

Steve Lin and Rick Bayon were very helpful during my new VW purchase process. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the vehicle I wanted in Ohio so I contacted Boardwalk VW after I found they had the VW gli that I wanted. After speaking with Steve and Rick several times we worked out a VERY good deal on the purchase of the car. To get the car in my hands I flew from Columbus, OH to DFW to drive the car home. Steve was waiting for me at the airport curbside pick-up to take me to the dealer.After a quick test drive and a few minutes of finalizing the paperwork I was on my way home. Steve took good care of me for my long trip by stocking the car with snacks and water. Great car, great experience, friendly dealership, couldn't ask for anything more!

I must admit, CarMax is my used car dealership of choice. I really wanted a Beetle and they didn't have what I wanted at Carmax this time, so I had to go to a Volkswagon dealer. I truly do not like the haggling and would have walked out if my husband wasn't there. Aside from that part of the experience, everyone was super friendly and personable. However, I personally would go to Carmax in the future just for the easy process of the purchase. Steve was easy to communicate with via email before I could visit the dealership unlike Lewisville Volkswagon - which I had to tell that I sent in an application for financing for them to look into what I wanted. Jason, the finance manager, was quick and efficient. Bill was straight forward which I respect. All in all, all 3 very nice guys. Just wish haggling would disappear at some point.

After seeing the "used" (it only had 6,500 miles) 2011 Golf TDI, I stopped by to take a look at it. I talked to Herr Puhringer who accompanied me on a test drive. He did an excellent job explaining the features of the car. He even taught me a few words and phrases of German!Jae in the Finance department was helpful, as well. From the time I walked onto the dealership until I was driving home, only 2 hours had elapsed. My time is valuable and I appreciated the speed at which everything happened. I never once felt as if I was being "gamed". No repeated trips to "run this by my sales manager," no hard-sell, high-pressure, and no surprises.Overall, I am extremely pleased with my service and treatment at Boardwalk. I highly recommend this dealership.

Friday, June 22, 2012 was the second time, in my adult life, that I've had the luxury to purchase a new vehicle. Although the circumstances were unexpected--my car sustained irreparable damage due to a catastrophic hail storm--my experience far surpassed my expectations. When I purchased my first car, I felt as if I had been stalked, harassed, and pressured into a sale. This is not to mention the lengthy time spent at the dealership haggling a price with the salesman and financial team for several hours. I did not experience any of these feelings when I arrived at Boardwalk Volkswagen. My partner, having done previous business with Gary Blakely at the same dealership, respectfully requested him when we arrived the first time we visited. Although Gary had gone home for the day, we were met by another salesman, Tony Azami, who took us on a test drive of the 2012 Jetta GLI, which I promptly fell in love with. My partner and I indicated that we would return to the dealership when the terms of my insurance claim had been finalized.Once the insurance company disclosed that the vehicle was a total loss, we decided to come back to the dealership to take the Jetta GLI and Jetta SE for second test drive to make sure this was the vehicle I wanted. While I could not purchase the vehicle on my second visit, due to the waiting period necessary for my insurance company to process my total loss claim, I was again surprised by the customer service we received, this time by Gary Blakely.Talking to Gary was like talking to an old friend--a rare and unique quality that is, sadly, missing from many salesmen of any trade. Gary asked how my partner's life had been since the last time he'd purchased a vehicle and, all the while, treated me with respect as both an individual and consumer. Having told Gary of the reasons behind my purchasing a new vehicle, the trouble I was having trying to obtain a rental car due to unavailability, and concurrently knowing that I was very interested in purchasing the car, he offered me something I never knew existed, the Borrower's Vehicle Agreement.Not only did Gary provide me with a stress free purchase, he gave me the opportunity to ensure that the Jetta GLI was the right car for me. Unexpected catastrophic events aside, I hope to have my new vehicle for a long time and I look forward to doing business with him in the future.

Tie Johnson is the reason I decided on a VW well the great design too but Tie was a big reason too. A friend of mine had a VW and of course I really liked and enjoyed his car and appreciated the attention to detail of the VW brand. One day I went along with him to Boardwalk VW b/c he was having car issues, and he got helped by Tie, she was so genuinely friendly that I was convinced that the VW brand was a great brand to be part off, smiling faces at the car shop, color me surprised! Well when the time came for a car purchase of my own I immediately went to VW, and on my first little battery issue I took it to VW Boardwalk and was excited to see Tie, she even remembered my friend and the situation of his visit months if not a year ago. I was and am very impressed and so excited to have her as a helping hand. I am a world class procrastinator and havent responded in a timely manner, but after a not so pleasant visit at the VW on Lemmon (although same owners.) I was reminded of how much better Tie and you all were, I will definitely drive that extra mile to go to boardwalk VW Richardson even if I am just a block from park cities VW, b/c you guys have Mrs. Johnson.In summary Tai is a very important part of your team!

Steve and Rick were both VERY helpful! They answered all my questions and I never felt like I was being pushed or "fast talked" into making a purchase I wasn't comfortable with. In addition Jae was very patient with me as I am the person who READS everything before I sign it. I never felt rushed and he was also very helpful in answering all my questions. While everyone was very helpful and friendly I would like to point out that Steve went above and beyond! Considering I drove up from Austin, Steve called to make sure I arrived home okay, and even looked up directions to one of my favorite restaurants (which they only have in Dallas) so that I could stop by on my way home. While they may have been small things they added the personal touch which makes all the difference.

I advised that the AM radio in the car wasn't working, which the employee wrote on the sheet, but didn't enter into the computer. As such, it wasn't working when I arrived to pick it up sicne know one knew to look at it. Granted, she was apologetic, but I was a bit irritated since I had specifically asked that it be checked out, along with the other issues (scheduled maintenance and replacement of the intake manifold.) I also found it a bit troubling that neither she nor the associate working at the desk where I came to make payment knew how to enter the code for the deductible. Given the time of day (around 6 PM on Friday the 8th)and that there were other customers in line behind me, this came across as slightly unprofessional. The car we brought in (2009 Passat)is the 4th car we have purchased from Boardwalk since 2005, and this is the first time I've had such an experience. I hope it is only a one-time fluke.

Gary did everything to make our buying experience pleasant, fast, and fun. Of course, we've bought cars from Gary at Boardwalk Volkswagen before - and we intend to buy from him as long as we buy cars. We make all our friends listen to our enthusiastic recommendations of Gary before we let them ride in the new car, and I know some of them have bought from you.I am so impressed with the way that Gary knows how important our time is to us. He makes all the details of buying a car a pleasure. He definitely takes his time to make sure he finds whatever we want, no matter how difficult it may be.Each car I buy from Gary seems better than the one before - or maybe it's just the reminder of what a fine salesman and person he is.I love my yellow Beetle, and I look forward to our next buying experience with Gary!!Very sincerely,Nancy Smith

I had my Passat repaired by an out of town facility (I had an accident while out of town - couldn't take it to Boardwalk). The original estimate was $8,200. When I went to pick the car up, I was given a bill for $9,600. Without any notification, unauthorized work had been done (unrelated to the damage caused by the accident) and the work that was authorized to be done was not done correctly (different color grill segments, engine light on, a/c not cooling, parts not aligned, etc.). I immediately took the car back to Dallas and dropped it off with Ron Hollomon (Boardwalk VW) and explained the situation and asked him to have the car checked out and let me know what it will cost to get the incorrect repairs corrected. Ron gave me a time when he would call me to discuss what was found. Low and behold, Ron called me when he said he would, told me what was needed, how much it would cost, and how long it would take. I approved the repairs and they went to work on it. The car was done when he said it would be, it was repaired correctly, and it cost a little bit less than expected! In addition to taking care of the repairs, Ron also went the "extra mile" by going over my bill with me (from the other repair facility) and put a copy of it in my file with Boardwalk so they have a record of what had been done to my car for future reference. It is important to have a service center that you can trust. Boardwalk VW Service Center (Ron Hollomon and the mechanics he works with in particular) will take care of you. These cars can be expensive to maintain and they require trained personnel to work on them. At Boardwalk, I know I'll get the best quality work at a reasonable price and never, ever have to worry about work being done without approval.

I visited Boardwalk VW in the hopes of trading from my touareg into something newer and more gas efficient. Bret was exceedingly knowledgable and helpful as we looked at several models and options. He went through each model and gave me the break down of the differences in each. He was very down to earth and honest, which I greatly appreciated. I worked with both Jason and Bret as we tried to figure out the best option for me. They were patient with me as I went back and forth, and neither one was pushy or tried to push the "hard sell" act. When I finally had mad a choice, Jason worked tirelessly to get me the best deal possible. I am still amazed at the magic he was able to work. Ultimately, they were able to get me out of a car I needed to get out of, but did not really want to, and get me into a FABULOUS new car and help the transition and the process of getting rid of my touareg. They were professional and efficient, and again, truly did work very hard to get me a fantastic new car! I have had volkswagens for about 10 years now, but I can honestly say that I will always go to Boardwalk from this point forward. I have no complaints when it comes to other VW dealerships, but Boardwalk truly goes the extra mile. They take care of their customers and it is clear the people matter more than the "bottom line."

I visited Brian three times over a 10 day period. He was very helpful, but not too pushy. I never heard the old "what do I have to do to get you into a car today" line. Brian listened carefully to what we wanted and addressed our questions. Most importantly...he listened! During delivery he focused on my wife's concerns. He even programmed the car's bluetooth with my wife's cell.Overall, Boardwalk is an outstanding dealership that is friendly and very service oriented. The dealership is spotlessly clean and (most importantly) does not intimidate my wife who has had bad experiences at other places. The service department is just as friendly, helpful and proffesional as the sales department. They offer free car washes to customers and have a nice, clean waiting room. Bottomline...Boardwalk treats you like you are buying a much more expensive car.

I have been to many different dealers over the years. Boardwalk VW has been the only one that considers my time and getting me out as quickly as possible. They also, keep you inform on progress and if necessary take you back in the shop and show you the concern that has happen.I found all of the service department to be friendly and they would do anything in their power to make your visit as pleasant as possible. I've have worked with Kim and have found him not only to be friendly but, a service person that not only advises you but explains why something should be done. Other dealers I have been to in the past just don't consider your time and treat you like you don't have a choice in were you take your car for service. Boardwalk is different, only takes one visit to see why they are #1 in their field.

Wow, where to start...Josef was extremely pleasant to deal with. Very straightforward in a friendly way. I enjoyed talking with him. He was able to mix discussions about the car and light conversation without a hitch - very natural and genuine. His enthusiasm about the Tiguan was strong, but not overly 'salesy', which made me feel good about the purchase. Josef's level-headed excitement was definitely a motivator in my decision making process. Josef was attentive, helpful and quick to respond to my questions. He explained every detail about the Tiguan, and made sure I had everything transferred out of my old VW into the new one...even locating a pair of sunglasses that had dropped beneath the seat! I'm glad Josef is part of the sales team. I would definitely recommend Josef to my friends/family should they become envious of my new Tiguan, pine for my 2008 Rabbit, or just like the feel of driving VW's. Thanks again to Josef!!

I was coming back from playing a round of Golf at Canyon Creek CC and decided to drive by the Jetta at White Rock Lake since it was such a beautiful day here in Dallas, Tx. I was about to turn around and head home when a Beetle smacked my windshield. I swerved and almost hit a Rabbit. I yelled out "you little Passat, you almost made me wreck my car". Anyway I got over that and drove home. Sorry, I couldnt resist that..... now the truthI gave Bob King and the crew at Boardwalk a very high rating. Here is why:Reason 1: from initial call to talking to someone with knowledge, about 1.50 minute(s).Reason 2: I held the phone to the engine and said "Bob listen to this" (my Passat sounded like an old pick-up with a bad muffler) and Bob said "that sounds like (blah blah whatever, i can't speak car tech talk) and that is probably covered by the 8/80k warranty".Reason 3: Bob arranged to have my car looked at immediately. And they brought me home.Reason 4: Bob arranged to have other expensive stuff fixed thru another warranty I had purchased when I bought the car pre-owned.Reason 5: Bod saved me a ton of money. Reason 6: I was treated with respect and diginity.End of story.

I feel almost insane for writing such a bad review, especially when one considers the overall rating for this dealership, but such a case only makes me more upset at what happened today. I will admit that my experience was initially positive for some time. I came with my dad intent on buying a car. Brian was very knowledgeable and friendly to us, making us more secure about our eventual decision on a Jetta. There was some negotiating back and forth, but we eventually agreed upon a set price, with him saying he'll "throw in some tinted windows" after he SHOWED us a paper SAYING that we'll get it. Big mistake. But we believed him and moved forward- signed papers agreeing to having my dad's credit report drawn. It wasn't until AFTER the credit report was drawn that he came back saying that they couldn't pay for the windows. Again, we stuck to our set price. I don't know who it was, perhaps a manager or finance manager, came into Brian's office and asserted himself in our faces and said no- something about how tinted windows weren't in the sticker price, how they're losing money, etc. It was in the most aggressive and abhorringly rudest manner that left my dad and me shocked and offended and confused.Why would Brain say yes, have us sign papers, and then have this other rude man essentially bulldozing us over and saying no? It was unnecessary and my dad was very livid considering how not only were we lied to, but his credit score was going to be affected.Brain came back later saying that they'll agree to the tinted windows, but never did he nor the rude man apologize for the way we were treated. Tinted windows weren't that important, but it was a big indicator to the trustworthiness of this dealership.

I recently completed my purchase of a 2012 Passat TDI and was very impressed with the sales and financing service I recieved. Both Charles and Jason were very informative and I appriciated their laid back attitudes. Not owning a volkswagon in the past and coming from owning a Lexus getting serviced at Park Place I was hesitant as what to expect. I dont feel as though I have given anything up with how I have been treated at boardwalk. I chose "good" under the price catagory just due to the supply and demand on the TDI's. They are going for sticker price and I knew to expect that from the beginning of my car shopping with other dealerships in the area.

After my rolling death-trap of a car crapped out on me on the side of the highway, I had no option but to purchase a car. A task I kept putting off, I knew my best bet was to look at certified pre owned VW's as my family has had a VW at one point or another. Matter of fact, my brother recently said good bye to his 04' Jetta that took a massive beating but still stood strong. To say my over all experience with Boardwalk Richardson was great is grossly understating it. From the very beginning my time was respected, appreciated, and felt my sales associate did everything and anything to ensure my purchase was smooth. I initially had my heart set on a red Golf which was sold the morning I was in transit to purchase it, Bret had several cars waiting for me to test drive. Like Goldy Locks and the Three Cars, I found my perfect car in a certified pre owned Rabbit. Everyone from the sales department to the finance to the service department when I went in a week later to have the car washed have been absolutely amazing! The employees make it an effort to give you a completley satisfactory experience and not treat you like you're some commission check walking through the door. Thank you, Boardwalk Richardson Team for making my first VW purchase so easy and awesome. You all don't get nearly enough credit for all the hard work y'all do.

I can't tell how pleased I am with the entire experience at Boardwalk! This is my 3rd VW, and my previous experiences with 'the other' VW dealer in Dallas has always left me with that proverbial 'used car salesman' feeling. Although I live less than a mile from that 'other' dealer, I will be more than happy to drive to Richardson for regular maintenance, etc. If I could give you a 10 I would!! Even though it was late in the day, Mark was friendly and helpful. Jason made the paperwork process easy. Thank you, both of you!! It was almost 9:00 pm before the process was complete, but never did I feel as if anyone remaining at the dealership just wanted get it over and go home.

During the process, as I was waiting, he made sure to keep me updated on how long it would be or where they were in the process. I needed new breaks, tires, CV boot, and wiper blades, but he walked me through how long it would take, what it would take, how much it would cost, so there were no surprises along the way. I will return to this dealer for cars or services.

Everytime I go to Boardwalk VW, I am greeted with smiles and happiness all around. They don't ever pressure me into getting things I don't want, but they are certain to tell me things that I evntually need done, or those that can be pushed to the side of the road. Ron and Bob nailed it on every front, and as long as I own a vehicle, I will continue to take it to Boardwalk. They do quick and efficient work and you never feel like you just got run through the ringer.

My daughter's 2005 Jetta had a wiring harness failure in the driver's door that resulted in the operational failure of windows, door locks, and even opening the gas filler door. Having recently moved her family from California back to Texas, she had great experience with a VW dealer in the Simi Valley area, but no relationship here. I assisted her in dropping her car off at Boardwalk -- driving in on "fumes". Without appointment, Kim Lewis quickly diagnosed the problem and arranged to replace the cable harness, as well as point out other needed repairs. All were done on the same day and she was on her way -- a very satisfied customer.Roy Wilshire

From the moment I pulled in, Kim was so nice and helpful. I had already planned on having someone pick me up, but he was offering me a loaner car before he knew I was set. He then gave me his cell # and I called quite a few times on his day off (not knowing it was his day off) and he was still being nice and calling the dealership and giving me updates. They checked my car and fixed some extra things for FREE that I didn't even know I needed done. There have been times in the past where I felt like I just sat around at a dealership for hours and no one remembered I was there or couldn't be bothered to help. This was not one of those times! He really made me feel special and important and it was a great experience. I will definitely be back to Boardwalk VW and I hope I get Kim!

I and my wife went to Boardwalk to buy a new GTI. Over the last two years, we have bought 2 cars and have visited at least a dozen dealerships, but this is the best experience we have ever had. Both the sale and finance contacts are extremely friendly and made us really comfortable through the whole process. Our sales consultant Josef Puhringer is THE BEST. I wish every car dealership had a person like Josef. We strongly recommend Boardwalk and more specifically Josef, if you are on the market for cars.

It was crazy busy on Saturday 4/14/12 when I visited Boardwalk to test drive a 3.6 Passat that I had seen online. I had made an appointment with Brian online to drive the car at 11:00. I showed up for my appointment exactly on time. Brian was busy with someone else. I waited about 30 minutes before I was greeted by Alec who was very helpful. He was somewhat knowledgeable about the car but gave me some misinformation. They did not have the black Passat there so I drove a similar car. I was very interested in the black one and wanted to drive it before I committed to buying it. I came back to pick up the car and Brian helped me. I had 3 hours to test drive the car and we agreed that I would return it at 7:00p.m. which would give me enough time to complete the buyer's paperwork. Brian was not available so Alec helped me again.The misinformation that Alec gave me was regarding the car battery. I saw that the battery is located in the trunk, which was unexpected for me. When I asked Alec, he suggested that maybe it was a "back-up" battery to the main battery that should be located under the hood of the car.The paperwork signing process was hurried and Jason admitted that he was very tired. We finished about 9:00p. He did not realize, nor did I until the next day, that I had not even left a check for the downpayment. While the information that he gave me is routine to him (such as the offering of additional warranties on the car), it is not routine to the buyer and should not be hurried through. I chose not to take any extended warranty because it was not explained at a level that I was comfortable with. I even suggested to Jason that I could come back on Monday and sign all of the paperwork if he was tired.The sales experience was disjointed despite the fact that I had made an appointment. I felt "passed off" between 2 sales people. Having said that, I absolutely love my new car and hope that the experience with the service department is much better and much less disjointed.Buying a car is a huge commitment financially for me and I feel that my purchasing experience was treated very hastily and inefficiently.

Having contacted the dealer via their website prior to my visit they knew what I was looking for. They had the perfect vehicle already pulled up and there was little hassle with trade-in and/or purchase price. There was a snide remark made by the finance guy that almost derailed the deal but Steve had earned my business and he had made a sale I intended to complete.Overall my experience at Boardwalk VW and Steve Lin were excellent.

He took care of the situation, changing to the spare tire, and I was able to get the repaired wheel and new tire back on the car the next morning as promised. Whenever I visit service, you can tell Terry is very busy, but he always greets me by name, friendly and courteous. He always makes me feel like I am the most important person he gets to work with. He is the main reason I will continue to visit Boardwalk VW for any service, or questions I have pertaining to my CC.

My VW Beetle had a couple of minor issues and had been serviced by another service center three previous times and the problems re-appeared within 7 days of my visit every time. After visiting this service center, they have not re-appeared. Boardwalk Volkswagen took better care of my and found the root cause of my issue.In addition, I mistakenly left my proof of insurance at home when setting up the appointment. Bob King called me and told me that it was missing and they could not do a state inspection without it, so I faxed a copy to him. When I picked my car up the had printed it out and it was sitting in my car.

Having bought the car here, have always been going back to the same dealer for its maintenance and they have been exceptionally good with their customer service and give utmost importance to customer satisfaction. Out of almost 15 visits, only one visit was not upto par, but the dealership totally made it up to us by being genuinely apologetic. They not only set things right, they also extended some freebies for all the inconvenience it caused us. That being said, errors and mistakes do happen at times, but to own up to it and rectify it is really the most important aspect that makes or breaks the whole deal. This dealership absolutely excels in the art of retaining customers.I definitely recommend this dealership and give it a 5 star rating as their waiting lounge is very organized, their refreshment bar is always stocked and clean. The restrooms are very well kept. The free wifi is a blessing. Not to mention, the service consultants and the support staff are very courteous and cheerful. On the whole, it is a pleasant place to be.Thanks for reading.

We went to Boardwalk VW to look for a new Jetta TDI to replace our 2003 that was totaled in an accident. We chose to come here versus other VW dealerships because of the reliable service that we had gotten with our previous car. As we were looking around at the cars on the lot, Josef cordially introduced himself. He was able to quickly figure out what our key factors were in selecting a new car. We were pretty set on the type of car that we wanted and he was not overly pushy in showing us something else or up-selling us to the higher options. He was very knowledgeable about the vehicles and the various features and was very patient while addressing all of our questions and concerns. He also told some interesting side stories which made the test drive enjoyable and not awkward. Josef was willing to walk us through the entire selling process at the pace that we were comfortable with and did not show any signs of trying to rush us out to get to the next customer. He seemed to truly care that we felt confident in our decision and even stepped out of the office several times to allow us to speak privately. Overall we were very pleased with the entire process of buying a new care and walked away feeling like we got great care and a very fair price. Josef made our new car purchase an enjoyable one and we feel confident that our new car will be well cared for by all the people at Boardwalk VW.

Without question he put me in a rental, sent me on my way and said he would call me in the morning when he had some news. After investigation, my car had over $5,000 worth of work to be done and Kim was able to get $4,000 of it covered under my extended mile warranty....whew, has that thing paid for itself!! I was extremely happy with the service at this location and make the extra trek to it...I actually live closer to the Lemmon location but make the drive because I prefer the Richardson location and the people I get to deal with.

I visited the dealership twice and bought my VW Golf TDI on the second visit. I dealt with Mr. Blakley about 10 years ago when I bought a VW Beatle and I had excellent service then. I drove from Denison, TX to deal with him again. The dealership and Mr. Blakley were very professional, courteous and after the deal was made, the paperwork was done quickly. Everyone I dealt with was professional and listened to my concerns. Mr. Blakley gave me a good price on my new car and the dealership had the exact car I wanted. I thought I wanted a different color at first, and he looked up where the car was and said he could get it for me. I really like this dealership since I first bought my Beatle and that is why I went online and looked up Boardwalk Volkswagen in Richardson TX to see if Mr. Blakley was still a salesman there. My VW TDI was clean and ready to go after the paperwork was signed. I was treated very well and would go back to this dealership again and recommend this dealership to my friends.

Very pleasant experience. I really liked our sales associate, Brian Swarvar. He was very friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable of the products. I have been to other dealerships in the past and I would say that this was the best experience that I've had purchasing a car. Everyone one was very friendly and the dealership was run like a finely tuned machine.I would like to say again how much I liked working with Brian. He is the most knowledgeable sales associate that I've ever bought a car from. Most sales people are too lazy to really learn the products that they are selling. I talked with 3 sales people at various dealerships in the last month during the lead up to our purchase. None of them was half as knowledgeable about the features and specifications of the cars as Brian was. He is a real car enthusiast and it showed during our visit. Most of the sales people didn't know nearly as much about the products that they were selling than I did.

I have been taking our 2009 VW Jetta Sportwagen to this dealership for service since we purchased it used with 20K on it. Previously, I had never taken a vehicle for service, anywhere, regularly, much less to a dealership, thinking it was unnecessary and the prices would be too high. Actions speak louder than words, and the consistently excellent service, customer focus, and friendliness of the employees at Boardwalk Volkswagen in Richardson has made a believer out of me. To give you an idea of where I am coming from on this, I am quite stingy with my family's money, and the higher the price I am paying for something, the more picky and demanding I can become. In this case, I have always been happy, 100 percent of the time. I have always felt they really value me as a customer, especially Tie, my service advisor, and they put their money where their mouth is by offering discounts on service, honoring those discounts even when I forgot my coupon, or in some cases making a repair for free if they felt it was an issue that should have been recalled by the manufacturer but wasn't. That final item, to me, is above and beyond the call of duty, and is something that obviously would not happen if I took my vehicle to a mechanic who was not also a VW dealer. -MHamtil, Dallas, TX

I just purchased a 2012 CC from Brian at Boardwalk. I think that it was the single best car buying experience I have ever had. He was easy to work with, they were very helpful, he explained everything for me, and even set up my service appointments. I will probably buy a VW for my wife's new car when its time just because of Brian and Boardwalk. I also received emails from both the sales manager, and general manager of the dealership after I bought the car thanking me for my purchase. If you are interested in a VW and live in North Texas, don't waste your time, just go to Boardwalk. You wont regret it. I usually never write reviews for anything, but I am absolutely 100% happy with this purchase, and like I said, it was the easiest best car deal I have ever had.

I have to tell you, I have never felt more comfortable about a car purchase - I usually drive away feeling as if I was taken advantage of - But that is not the case this time - Your folks did a wonderful job of talking with me about the car, how it is priced, why it is priced that way, and then they gave me an opportunity to explain what I was offering to pay and why I felt that was a fair price - Through this process, we came to a price that both of us were happy with - It was an honest and enjoyable and comfortable process - I am very satisfied with the result.By the way, if it were not for Brian's persistency, I would have never purchased this vehicle - He initially contacted me and then left me alone for a bit - Then he followed up again and it is good he did because I had taken this car off of my list of cars I was interested in - He followed up with me, reminded me that this car had just about everything I wanted and arranged for my daughter to test drive it for me - I live in Tulsa - Also, Brian was not afraid to let me have an Auto Critic guy come and check the car out before I bought it, as this is my normal practice when buying a used car.Finally, Michael was awesome on the finance side - I was borrowing money from my Credit Union in Tulsa and they were having phone troubles that day - Michael was very patient and understanding and he made it all very easy for us - I know he had to do some special things to work through our Credit Union's phone problems as well as having to do part of the paperwork with me and then wait for my wife to come in later to sign her parts - As it turned out, it took several days before our Credit Union actually faxed the draft details to him and he was very accomodating - It is very nice to work with people who are trustworthy and also trust me in return - Again, I have never felt more comfortable doing a car deal (and my father was a car salesman so I grew up around a dealership).I appreciate all of you and am completely happy with the car, the deal, and the process - Thank you!

Daniel was very patient, helpful and professional. I bought a 2012 Passat from Boardwalk VW last week, and my experience was great. He introduced all the features to me in detail for three models, and answered all my questions professionally. After the purchase, he sent me several follow-up emails and scheduled a courtesy maintenance for me. I would highly recommend Daniel to all my friends.

This is the second Volkswagen I have gotten from Boardwalk VW. I could not be more satisfied with the overall service I received from Charles Currier. Charles helped me with both of my VW purchases of a 2006 Passat and 2009 CC. He was very helpful in every way on both of my purchases. The quality's I like about Charles is that he is very warm and inviting. He is what a salesmen should be "genuine". It was worth the 2 hour drive from Waco both times to get a quality Volkswagen from Boardwalk and to receive great service from Charles.

My first encounter with Boardwalk Volkswagen was when we purchased my son's 2010 golf. The quality of customer service and overall purchase experience was absolutely wonderful, so of course when it was time for me to lease a new car there was no hesitation with my choice of dealership. I first spoke with the Internet Director, Rick Bayon who set me up with Jeremy Heuss. Jeremy was very informative; He spent a good amount of time discussing the features and options of the vehicle.I was able to get a great deal on my trade in, and a great deal on a lease for a 2011 Jetta. Amazing Experience. Will be returining here for all future purchass.

I was quite interested in purchasing a brand new 2010 golf about a year and a half ago. As I researched prices and various local dealerships, Boardwalk Volkswagen just stood out. A friend of mine had purchased a GTI from this same dealership, and raved about the quality of the customer service and over all purchasing experience. I contacted Boardwalk Volkswagens internet sales manager and began to discuss the type of car I wanted, with all the specifications. Rick Bayon responded to my request almost instantly and set up an appointment for me to meet with Jeremy Heuss, a sales specialist. I arrived to the dealership and as soon as I stepped through the door I found Jeremy Heuss with Rick Bayon waiting for my arrival. We sat down, talked numbers, and cracked a few jokes. Jeremy and Rick were both very helpful and down to earth, and I knew after just a few minutes of speaking to them face to face that I was going to have a great experience. I was able to buy my car just $200 over invoice, and Jeremy Heuss even added a few minor things that were not included in the package that just made me seal the deal. The price was right, the quality of work was above and beyond, the overall experience was great to say the least. Rick Bayon and Jeremy Huess did me the favor of importing my car from a distant dealership to satisfy exactly what I was looking for. This extra effort combined with their flawless customer service is what will have me coming back to Boardwalk Volkswagen.

I do not recommend many service dept or advisors BUT Kim Lewis at Boardwalk Volkswagon is the BEST experience I have ever had. I have had tons of bad experiences with service departments. This is one advisor is friendly, very thorough and the best part you do not find very often anymore HONEST. Also does what he can to beat or meet competition. Service is expensive everywhere nowadays. But Kim Lewis tries to get you the best and most for what your paying for. Want the best service you have ever experienced at a dealership service dept?

Jeremy Heuss and Boardwalk Volkswagen are a winning combination. If your in the market for a new Volkswagen I highly recommend speaking with Jeremy before making any final purchase. The moment I spoke with Jeremy I knew I had found the right guy that was truly passionate about selling cars and had my best interest in mind. Jeremy worked several days and late into Friday evening to make sure I found my dream car at an affordable price. I can't thank this guy enough. It was a pleasurable car buying experience, not a disappointment like so many other dealerships I talked with. You guys have earned my business for life and anyone else I can send your way.

Jeremy Heuss really helped to make a bad experience better. My 2009 VW was totaled, and he quickly helped me find a new car with the options I wanted and at a good price. He kept in touch with me while I waited for the insurance money. On the day of purchase, he made sure that I had everything I needed and that the car and paperwork were in perfect order. There's a VW dealership closer to my home, but it doesn't offer that kind of friendly service and sympathetic concern. That's why I'm a repeat customer at Boardwalk. Thank you, Jeremy.

Ms. Johnson has always been a wonderful service rep to me. She is always very personable and friendly. She has always gone above and beyond in helping me. I've had some majorly frustrating promblems with my pre-owned VW over the past year. Ms. Johnson's help in the service department was greatly appreciated during all the things that had to be fixed. There was one time that I brought my car in for servicing and ended up with another rep. The experiences could not have been more apposite. After that I, refuse to work with any other rep other than Ms. Johnson. If she is not available I'll wait until she is available, even it means having to leave my car for a few days. I have worked in both the service industry and as an educator, and feel that Ms. Johnson's customer service skills are invaluable. She is wonderful asset to the Boardwalk VW family.

The Volkswagen:After a few months of test driving every sedan known to man, I settled on the Jetta - Not just any Jetta, but the GLI. I needed a family sedan I could also feel comfortable taking high level executives around in from time to time. What I wanted personally was something fun to drive, and the GLI does that, in style. The 2.0 Turbo taken from it's GTI brethren loses no amount of enjoyment in a Sedan. The aesthetics inside and out are extremely pleasing, with all the usual well thought out German gadgetry. I went for the AutoBahn edition because of one thing: The Fender sound system. I have heard upscale stock radios before, but this thing was simply stunning. Of course, the stylish rims and leather were a bonus as well.The Dealership: There were currently just 70 Standard GLI AutoBahns in the nation for sale. The one I found at a closer to home VW dealership was traded to Boardwalk before I was ready to buy. Bottom line: They had the rare car I was looking for and did not make me overpay to get it even given that I had chased after it from another dealership. All of the ancillary people I met were extremely polite and helpful. The dealership was spotless and there were plenty of amenities. The Salesman:Mark Sayers was very easy to work with from the minute he took my phone call. I could tell he had years of experience behind him and utilized that to make the whole process easy and streamlined. The price was easily negotiated and, after having done months of research on these cars, I was happy. On a very rainy day, Mark found a dry service garage to swap my belongings out of the trade. When I came back to drop off some missing paperwork a few days later, Mark had a detail guy take out a small scratch I put in while cleaning it. The Paperwork:Jason, the "finance guy", was extremely polite, conversational, and expeditious. While he quickly worked through the mountains of paperwork that are the less than fun moments of car buying, we talked about similar interests and life in general, making the times go by much easier. In a 2010 car purchase, the finance guy was extremely high pressure on extended warranties, effectively souring the whole experience for me. With Jason, there was no pressure. I think he sensed my apprehension. The Experience:I was in and out of the dealership in about 2 hours. I consider that a win given I had not had but one small phone conversation with Mark 30 minutes prior, had a trade, and needed to do all the finance work.The Reward:Boardwalk will certainly earn my business again this year when I trade my wife's car for a Volkswagen.

As a long-time Honda customer, I was concerned about buying a product with a different nameplate. The Passat seemed to be a better choice for our current needs so we visited Boardwalk VW. We were greeted quickly but not "smothered". Josef was polite and very informed about the details of the Passat and several other models about which we inquired. He followed up with information that was both helpful and informative, not just another review from some magazine.Josef understood my decision process and waited for me to get comfortable with the buying decision. On a day when he was out, my call was returned by Jason Villa who also helped immensely. Throughout the entire process I felt that the staff at Boardwalk, even those in the transactional end (sales) cared that I was happy with the purchase decision and that I would be a Boardwalk customer after the sale as well.A special note about Josef: he is comfortable to work with -- focused but not pushy. He is someone that when I had a question, I enjoyed calling as he seemed pleased to help. Probably the best salesman with whom I have dealt in thirty years of car buying.

I live in Oklahoma City and was looking for a car that is hard to find. My local dealers simply didn't stock what I was looking for. I checked around the region with dealerships in Dallas, Kansas City, even as far as Albuquerque, and finding anyone with this particular car was difficult.I made contact with Michael Trammell from an initial internet inquiry. He called me to confirm exactly what I was looking for and told me he would be on the lookout if one came into his dealership, Boardwalk Volkswagen in Richardson, TX. After about a week or two, Michael called to tell me that the dealership had just received the exact car, trim line and color that I was looking for. I arranged to drive down to Dallas on a Saturday morning and test drive the car. The test drive went great and I loved the car. We hammered out the details fairly quickly, including the terms on my trade-in. I felt the offer he made on the new car and the trade were very fair. Michael introduced me to Jason in the Finance Department and we had the financing done and paperwork signed in well under an hour.Overall, I'm very pleased with the service I received and would strongly recommend Boardwalk Volkswagen. Michael did a great job, as did everyone else at the dealership. 9.5 stars out of 10!

2nd time I bought a car from Boardwalk VW. If I am the owner of the dealership, I would just figure out how I can find more Garys. Great shopping experience due to Gary's knowledge and help you first attitude. Basically, the customers needs to accept the fact that, the dealership will make money regardless, but for you to get a better deal that you are comfortable with and to have a great shopping experience, just go to Gary. He doesn't ask you to sign on a piece paper to buy if he gets you the deal on paper. I bought a car from him in two weeks, he was prompt with follow up calls.Just go to Gary.

We have always had our VWs serviced at Boardwalk because they've treated us so well. So when my mom's car, which had been ours, needed service, I knew where I was taking it. Even though that meant driving 45 minutes out of Dallas to pick it up, drive back, and then on to Richardson.Kim and Gary both were great to work with. Kim made sure my mom's car got the service it needed versus service the dealer would like to sell me. And when I mentioned that I'd like to test drive a GTI, he connected me with Gary. In turn, Gary was not pushy about the sale or about selling me more car than I needed. I was able to come back the next day and finish the sale at my leisure instead of being pressured into the sale. Very refreshing. They both made the service and sale very easy.

I test drove the Volkswagen cc with Charles and he was very friendly and informative about the vehicle I was driving. I saw a more loaded version of the vehicle at another dealer's website for a better price. Once I went to look at the vehicle at the other dealership, they didn't have the color I was after and didn't know if they could get one. They also kept upcharging everything on the vehicle such as tint, warranty, interest rate, etc. I called Boardwalk Volkswagen and told them exactly what I wanted and they found the vehicle for me at another dealership and threw in the window tinting and had the pricing negotiation and everything over the phone. The sales manager had the vehicle ready for me the next day with tint, pricing, warranty, and all the paperwork true to his word.

After beginning wiht a different dealer in our search for a new VW Turbo Beetle, we stopped in at Boardwalk and met Michael. He was great from the beginning and really spent time with us to determine what we wanted and how his dealership could get us into the perfect car. Even though there were no turbos to test drive, we did drive a non-turbo just to see how it handled. As time went on while we waited for my car to get in, Michael always kept us informed of the status and reason for the delays. He and Boardwalk went above and beyond normal efforts in trying to find a way to get us the car we wanted when the sun roof became an issue for Volkswagen's production, and even ordered us a car without the sun roof for after-market installation in order to get the car to us faster. He did not stop at this solution and finally found the car we wanted listed on another dealer's manifest and made a trade to get it for us. It took 4 months from the time we originally ordered the car, but Michael and his team at Boardwalk never stopped doing everything in their power to get the car as fast as possible and kept us informed at every turn. He also was able to keep our trade-in at the same amount even though 4 months had passed. Overall, a great experience with the dealership, especially when you consider the popularity of the car and production issues along the way.

I could not be more appreciative of all the help that Charles Currier supplied me while making my car purchase. He is by far the most informative, respectful, helpful, and knowledgeable sales person I have come across in my history of buying cars. Mr. Currier went above and beyond his "job description" and was able to help with all aspects of the car buying experience. Buying a car should always be a good experience and a learning experience for the buyer; as a teacher "I" walked away feeling like I made an A+. I am extremely grateful for all that he did with preparing for my visit and not wasting my time; following through on "his word", and getting the LOWEST price possible. He is one of a kind.

What a great purchase experience. I was all set to purchase a Certified Jetta for my daughters birthday that had 51,000 miles on it. They informed me that a same year model Jetta came in with only 9,000 miles on it and sold it to me for almost the same price. The car was like new! There were some issues with the tires when I got there...NO PROBLEM! Rick and the gang told me to bring the car back, and they would replace all four tires at no charge to me. That is above and beyond customer service. They even drove 60 miles round trip to pick up a trade in that was only worth $1,000. I could not have asked for a better experience. I will send anyone that is looking for a VW to Rick.

I took my car in for maintenance regarding a knocking sound in the engine. The dealership quoted me $1000 for a bent AC rod within the engine, but they specifically told me they were going to take it apart and verify that it was the problem. As it turns out that was not the problem the Dual Mass Flywheel was very worn resulting in the sound I heard. This doubled my quote to $2000, but they also changed my oil, found a problem with my transmission flush and repaired it, and fixed my backseat cup holder I had broken a while back. I would say that was well worth the quoted price. Did I mention they also washed and cleaned the car inside and out. Kim was also very honest, friendly, patient, and updated me on the progress. During peek operating hours if I could not reach him he always called back as soon as possible.

I go in and out of dealerships on a daily basis as part of my job and our experience with the professional and customer driven staff at Boardwalk Volkswagen exceeded expectations. Boardwalk VW in Richardson, and the Boardwalk Group in general, are well ahead of the curve in helping customers shop for and buy cars the way customers want to shop for and buy cars! The process was easy and hassle free; if anything it was our 3 kids running around the showroom that were the most difficult to deal with! Donovan took my wife through the 2011 Routan and was extremely knowledgeable. We were originally considering another van and after we inquired about the VW Routan, he pulled them side by side and spent so much time comparing features of both and allowing us to look at both at our pace. Donovan was terrific. Rick, the Sales Manager, was excellent as well! They have a huge selection of great cars, vans and trucks to look at and are just so easy to work with. Thank you Donovan, thank you Rick, and thank you Boardwalk Auto Group! My wife loves her first minivan, her first Volkswagen, and our first experience with Boardwalk VW in Richardson!

First and foremost, Steve gave me a direct quote over email and that was exactly what I paid for the car. No negotiating necessary. I showed up and took a test drive and within two hours walked out with a new car. When it needed some service not only did they give me a beautiful loaner car to drive in the meantime, but Steve drove over an hour to bring my car right to my door when it was ready. They were amazingly fast and professional. I plan to buy from them again. Thanks for being a great guy Steve!

I went to the dealership for an oil change, 4 wheel alignment and a new fuel filter. Tie greeted me as I arrived with a big smile and positive attitude. I explained what I needed and that I needed the work to be done as quickly as possible. We discussed the estimated time and it fit within my parameters. Price was also discussed and all appropriate discounts were applied.While waiting in the customer waiting area Tie came to me and told me that the alignment would take longer than expected due to the suspension on the car and gave me some options. She also found out that the parts department did not have any fuel filters in stock but had ordered one for me. We agreed that I would bring the car back the next day to finish the work. Tie was concerned that I had to return and offered to apply another discount to the service because of that. She also offered a loaner car. The remaining work was completed the next day and the car was returned to me ahead of the scheduled time.I feel that Tie demonstrated a sincere approach to serving her customer. She was considerate of my time and inconvenience and did everything she could to make my experience pleasant. There were several opportunities over the two days that could have been perceived by the customer as irritants but Tie was able to diffuse those situations with her pleasant manner and show of concern.

This is the best car buying experience I have ever had. I was already seriously considering a couple of cars at other dealerships, but I wanted to drop by and check Boardwalk VW out because I had seen the 2012 Volkswagens were Ranked #1 by U.S. News and World Report. I walked out the same night with a 2012 Jetta lease, and Im so glad I did. It was my first time to visit a Volkswagen dealership, and Jeff Kaufman and Jason Daniel (finance manager) were outstanding. I was treated with professionalism, courtesy, and patience. Ive been to other dealerships, and it can be a pretty draining process. Thanks to Jeff and Jason though, getting my new car was actually fun. Edward DeNice (sales manager) and Darrick Thompson (sales manager) both stopped by during the process to introduce themselves and let us know how to reach them if there was ever anything we needed. I cant recommend highly enough Boardwalk VW for anyone who is looking for a lease or purchase.

Great car buying experience! Donovan was an outstanding no pressure salesman. Very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in us getting the right car at the right price. However, when we went to the finance person, Michael, he utlized high pressure sales tactics and tried to sell us additinaly items like extended warranties, paint protecdtion, and other junk that we were not interested in. He seemed arrogant and irritated that we were not interesetd and also that I wanted to verify his math calcualtions on the financing. Buying a new car is a big decision full of stress and I would prefer to have someone more supportive during the finance portion of the deal. Outside of the finance guy, the salesman, Donovan Guillory, and his manager, Rick Bayon, were exemplary during the process.

We have been dealing with this dealership since 1996 and have experienced only the finest examples of honesty and helpfulness. We have about a 19 mile one way trip to the dealership and have to pass one on the way. We have never considered going to another dealership. We have full confidence that if we are told there is a need for a repair, then there is indeed a need. Everyone goes out of their way to be helpful(even to coming to out house to drop off an item). Our only disappointment is that VW Corporate has chosen not to offer a diesel Passat Wagon this year; we were waiting for it and ready to buy. Sadly, there is not one to buy at this time. However, this is certainly not the fault of the dealership; I"m sure they wish there were a diesel Passat wagon to sell us! Since we have only 54,000 miles on our 2004, we can wait and enjoy the one we have!Merita and Steven Hurst

I can't guarantee Mark would deliver a car to your home, but I can safely say that Mark will go out of his way to get a deal done on creative and fair terms.

I arrived at the dealership close to closing time, and Bob assessed and gave me his estimate of what he thought was wrong. He was quite accurate. We agreed it would be best to bring the car back early the next morning, and Bob assigned me to Terry Granger, saying he would make sure Terry had the whole story. Their connection was great, so that I didn't have to repeat the explanation the next day. I got a ride to work, which turned out to take a long time, in the rain with morning traffic, but the driver (Frank? sorry I'm not sure of his name) was very pleasant and drove carefully. Terry updated me by phone when part of the assessment was done, and then again when it was all done. It was important to me that when I decided not to have one non-essential part fixed, there was no pressure. I questioned another, and Terry put it in short, plain terms that the inspection would not pass without it. He got me a 10% discount for one of the items. The car was ready to go after work, so I didn't have to wait after I arrived. It was shiny and clean. Bob came to make sure I got an clearer explanation about the reason one of the parts had broken. I haven't had to take the car back for inadequate repairs since then. I don't believe it was coincidence that Terry was assigned to me, as he had been for my husband on his last visit.

I took the car in for an oil change, a mystery noise, and complete detailing. Billy and the team identified the source of the mystery noise and found an oil leak that I had not noticed. They notified me promptly with a complete list of the issues that needed repair and the cost and the time required for service. Some of the repairs were discretionary and Billy helped me think through that. I also suggested it might need shocks and he said no, thereby passing up the opportunity to sell me something I didn't need. The car was ready at the promised time and price and it looked like it just came off the showroom floor, although it's nine years old. I have dealt with Billy for service since we bought the car from Boardwalk in 2002. He's the reason we keep going back there for service even though there are VW dealers closer to us.

My husband and I bought a pre-owned 2010 Beetle for our soon to be 16 year old daughter from another used dealership. We only had it a few weeks when the engine light came on and the alarm kept going off for no reason. I called Boardwalk's service department and they got me an appointment at the time I needed without any problems. Within a couple of hours of dropping it off with Bob King, he called me and advised me of the 2 problems in detail. I called him back with some issues I was having because this car was not under warranty anymore and we didn't buy an extended warranty. I explained to Bob that we are teaching our daughter about the costs of a car and that she is helping with all payments and if there could be any way he would be able to help us out since we only had it a few weeks. Without hesitation, he told me he would call me back after he checked into this. He actually went above and beyond what I expected and we are so grateful that he took the time to see if he could help in any way to cut some of the cost back. Our first experience with Boardwalk was great and we will diffinately go back in the future.

I bought my 2007 VW Passat wagon at Boardwalk in March 2009. I didn't have any trouble with the car until recently. That's when Bob King and Nikki Cloud stepped in to help me understand my warranties (Yes, I have two!) and what was covered. You see, I got all this information when I purchased the car, and didn't pay much attention to it until I needed it. That's what consumers do: They depend on their reputable car deailership, the place where they purchased their car, to inform them of what's needed and what's covered by warranty. Bob and Nikki did that with professionalism and grace. They deserve raises as far as I'm concerned. It was the first time (This was December 2011) that I visited Boardwalk's service department and did not feel like I was going to get stuck with a huge repair bill. As a matter of fact, it was the first time my warranties were even mentioned.And another thing: The diagnostics you ran on my car provided a visual record of what needed to be repaired. That was very impressive.My best to Bob and Nikki. Promote them!

We have never been treated so wonderful at a car dealership in our lives. Everyone we dealt with was very friendly and professional. We are purchasing a car because our car was totaled back in december and my back was hurt. They were gracious enough to give me a back support while I was there so I could be comfortable. I feel they went above and beyond what they needed to. This will be the first place we go from now on should we need to purchase a car. New or Used.

My Beetle had the engine light come on and we took it in right away. Terry was quick to get it diagnosed and found the issue as well as a few recalls that they went ahead and fixed. My parents bought and service their car here and from my experience I understand why. Terry takes the time to explain the problem and cost before any work is done and then gives tips on future care. To my surprise they even washed my car for me. This is great first rate service and I will be back.

The experience at Boardwalk this weekend was superior to any other sales experience hands down that we have ever come across. We not only walked out with the perfect vehicle for our "expanding family" needs that surpassed our expectations, your amazing team made it happen when we were dealing with some "finance obstacles". Steve Lin went way above and beyond working for us and without the initial help from Jeff Kaufman, we would have not been educated about all our trade in options. These guys were amazing to work with and I wanted to pass along our thanks and true gratitude directly to you.Boardwalk VW of Richardson is an amazing dealership to work with and I highly recommend a VW to anyone looking for their perfect car; from our barely used "like new" Routan to the sleek new look of the Beetles!

It has always been a great experience dealing with Bob King, service representative. He is knowledgable, helpful, values customer time, if it is something quick e.g checking tire pressure, he would do it himself rather than making you wait and go through the whole process. He is one of the few service people that I have found that gives advises that saves customers money in the long-run without compromising service.The waiting area is onvenient and well maintained. The shuttle service is fairly quick. The drivers are courteous, cars are clean.This is almost my second year coming to this dealership. I specifically request to work with Bob King whenever possible so far my experience has been good.I would recommend to others.

I needed to decide between the TDI and a BMW x5, I chose the VW because of the way the dealership treated me. The entire experience and all team members I encountered at the facilities reinforced my decision. Josef Puhringer was fantastic, he is the primary reason I bought the car! He was cheerful from the moment I arrived and he was never "pushy", his congeniality and courtesy stood out even at a well run dealership. Thank you

Tayari is great to work with! I had an emergency last year in trying to get my daughter's car inspected before she left for college the next day, that we purchased used from a car dealership in 2010. After going to 5 different places trying to get it inspected, I finally called a VW dealership, and it just so happened to be Boardwalk Volkswagen, and Tayari Johnson saved the day! I explained my issue, she asked me a couple of questions, and she told me to come over at 400 that afternoon and she would get my car in the shop and find out what was wrong and why it would not inspect. She also had an idea of what the problem was, before the mechanic looked at it, and she was right. The previous owner took out the original radio and replaced with a non manufactor radio, and they spliced it into the K wire for the OBD reader. Your mechanic, Josh, was able to correct the problem and the car was succesfully inspected, and they had me in and out of the dealership within about 2 hours. I was so pleased with the customer service and the determination to fix the issue. Tayari also offered me a small coupon discount, because I was expecting to only have to pay 40.00 for an inspection, and it cost me over 150.00 for the inspection. They also did a 27 car inspection and car wash for me for free, which I was very surprised. This year when I needed the car inspected in 2012, I picked up the phone, called Tayari and she made me an appointment and the car inspected just fine. Problem was resolved! Tayari is very friendly and has great customer service.

Email I sent to Jeremy's manager: I wanted to send you a note to say what a great experience we had recently when we purchased our new car. Jeremy Heuss was perfectly professional with us - I was really dreading going into a dealership because of my experience buying a car a few years ago was so painful, but Jeremy was great. From my initial experience with him, to the test drive with my 2 kids in the car, to the negotiation, he was really a pleasure to work with. The car was missing a key and they even found it and Jeremy sent it to me later. I couldn't believe that - I thought I'd never see that key! I should also say the finance experience was super easy too. I didn't have to sit through a big pressure session on why I needed to buy an extended warranty. I really appreciated that. I think the whole thing only took 1/2 an hour. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeremy or Boardwalk Auto to my friends.

Just purchased a new VW Passat from Boardwalk VW and I love my new car.I had been looking for a new car for over a year and was very reluctant to buy because I was so pleased and comfortable with my old VW Cabrio. I had owned it for 11 years and bought it brand new from Gary in 2000. He special ordered the white VW top for my white car, made sure that I had a fully loaded top of the line VW.....at the time. My husband and I wanted to buy from Gary because he is a fellow musician and he goes out of his way to make sure that you have the car that you want.I went to the dealership thinking I wanted a VW Jetta Wagon and when I saw the Passat in the showroom, there was no other choice for me. The light blue exterior with the light interior is a dream car. Love it!! I'm sure I'll hold on to my new VW for another decade. FYI - This is my sixth VW since 1976. Thanks Gary!

the experiece was exceptional . I say this because the normal process of buying a car is not somthing to look forward to. in this case, we were purchasing a car for my daughter, her first. Gary was extremely patient, and allowed us to look at eacha nd every vehicle my daughter wanted to see. once we selcted a car, he took time to explain all parts of the car to my duahgter, including what to do in the case of an emergecny. the pricing of the vehicle went very smooth, as we felt that we received a very favorabel price for the car. Most importantly, Gary was friendly, especially to my daughter, who otherwise could have been extremely intimidated by the process.

I live in central Arkansas and was looking for a used pickup truck. Found the truck I was looking for through AutoTrader.com at Boardwalk one afternoon. I called around 5:00 pm and spoke with Donovan Guillory. He answered many questions about the truck and actually walked out on the lot to verify the truck was still there before I made the trip to Dallas. At 12:30 the next day, I was at Boardwalk talking to Donovan about the truck. He had done his homework and I was impressed that a Volkswagen dealer knew so much about a Chevrolet pickup. After I decided to purchase the truck, the process was smooth, quick and efficient. Since this was an internet purchase, the only negotiation was my trade in which I believe was a fair deal. After that, the paperwork was complete and the only thing left to do was pay for the truck. Donovan even DROVE ME TO THE BANK so I could get a cashiers check!! The entire process only took a few hours and I was driving to Love Field with my new truck. Since the purchase, I have been contacted a few times not only by Donovan but also by other Boardwalk employees to make sure I was happy with my truck and the service I received from Boardwalk. I cannot say enough good things about Donovan and the entire staff that I came in contact with at Boardwalk. Overall, a GREAT experience!

Steve was fun, informative and easy to work with. I shopped on line for a used car and got the price to where I wanted it with ease. The next step was to test drive and then the finance department was the last part. Everyone was friendly and not condescending. The car had just been available for sale and hadn't been detailed. My son had to go to work so there wasn't time for detailing--much to Steve's dismay. He profusely apologized and encouraged us to return for another tank of gas and detailing! I highly recommend your dealership.

Josef Puhinger was the sales consultant who helped us, and he was very informative and knowledgeable when assisting us. He was even able to negotiate a lower price for us, which really helped as our last car had been totaled.

I recently had an electrical problem with my 2004 Tourareg and had to have it towed in to Boardwalk Volkswagen on a Sunday afternoon. I left a note for Billy Cooper my service adviser for the last 10 years or so. Billy called me on Monday morning and confirmed that he had the vehicle and that he would call me as soon as he knew what was wrong with it. In about an hour he called back and told me it was a dead battery and gave me the bad news about the cost of replacing it. He also told me that I had gone over four years since the battery was last replaced. I also had asked Billy to do an oil change while the car was there and he confirmed the price of that service. While I was on the phone he reminded me that I had not had a radiator flush since I owned the car and I was overdue for that service. He added up the total service bill and gave me the total. I asked if any of the service specials that I had seen lately would apply to my service and he assured me that he would research it and apply all of them that were still in effect. I asked when the car would be ready and he said it would be out by 4:30. Since I had no appointment and it was a Monday I was delighted.When I picked the car up it was promptly delivered to me sparkling clean. The bill was less than Billy quoted and I saw where some discounts had been applied.Billy Cooper is a special person who is totally customer focused. He provides honest and straightforward information and establishes complete trust with the customer. Because of his attention to my cars after the sale I will continue to be a Boardwalk customer. I currently own two Touraregs and have previously owned two Passats.

Yesterday, my wife and I bought a pre-owned VW from Mark Sayers at Boardwalk Volkswagen. I had never bought a car from this dealership, nor had I ever met Mr. Sayers. First, the on-line advertising copy was correct and honest. My initial and lasting impression of the dealership is that it is spotless (including restrooms and refreshment counters,) and very "customer friendly". There are no looming showroom manager towers or one-way glassed offices. There are no clusters of idle salespeople standing around looking confrontational. When I was introduced to Mark Sayers, I had a good feeling about how my time spent at this dealership was going to go. Mr. Sayers was friendly, well-informed about the product and he was very efficient...staying on-task with paperwork and details while answering our questions. I appreciate it that Mr. Sayers understands that there is a huge difference between attempting to "sell" a car and helping someone BUY a car.

Gary was an excellent sales rep. Even filled my car up my new car in the driving rain. I was a little pressed for time and the process was quick and transparent. He worked with me on price and they let me take the car that night allowing me to bring back the title for my trade in later. It was the quickest trade in valuation too - probably took 15 minutes. I wasnt finished looking at which car I even wanted to test drive (out of only 10) before that was complete. Overall a quick and easy process.

I first met Gary when I purchased my first Jetta. Gary was the first dealer at Boardwalk to stop and say hello and offering his help. Most dealers seem to look at a person's attire, hue and even other aesthetic characteristics like gender, race and credit score, but not Gary. I was so impressed because I am disabled and Gary did not show any difference with me. He was kind, offered me something to drink and even made sure I was comfortable. Gary listened to my concerns and then went about trying to find the care I wanted. I left Boardwalk two hours later in a new Toffee Jetta 2.5. Second time around I was upset and spoke to someone in service about my bad experiences with my car. It had been serviced on more than seven occasions and two of the problems having to do with my safety. The night before I picked up my grand kids and we were on our way home, then suddenly a car jump in front of me and was coming over on me and I went to honk my horn and it would not work. I was very frightened and nervous afterward. The next morning I called service and let them know what happened. They gave me an early appointment and me and my daughter drove my car in to be serviced. After the car was repaired I began to think about the Lemon Law and went into the dealership to ask questions, which my daughter handled. After being there for about twenty minutes Gary walked by and recognized me and asked why I was there. I told him I felt very uncomfortable and unsafe in my car because of several repairs and the engine failing while I was driving. Gary immediately went in to talk with the manager and came out to make sure I was comfortable, offered me something to drink and even a snack if I was hungry. After a few hours I was told to go and look at my new car, which was the same color (yay!!!)inside and out as my other car. Gary told me to look the car over and make sure it's the same car etc... I drove away with my daughter with all smiles and feeling better concerning my safety and the safety of my grandchildren. Here's the kicker! It was not until two days later that I began noticing the car's interior seemed a bit different, the seats were and I began thinking I had another car. Once again Gary had made me very happy! The car was a 2012 Jetta! I called Gary and told him I finally noticed the differences and he laughed and told me he was happy that I finally noticed the surprise and he would always be there to help me. He further told me to call him if anything concerned me no matter what it was. Gary is the best dealer I've ever worked with and I received "World Class Customer Service" and a "heartfelt experience with my dealer, Gary!

I was getting a new car for my son, I went in one day just to see what they had at that moment and was slightly interested in one car. The price isn't what i was looking for but the salesman gave me his card and said to keep in touch because he would be able to get me into something that could fit the budget. We called again and was able to find a new car, everything was easy and he was willing to stay slightly later than closing to finalize this deal.

Billy Cooper is the Service Consultant that I have always trusted to take care of my car! When I bring my car in for service/repair I never worried about what is going to happen to my car when it is in his care. I know it will be take of correctly. The Service Center staff has been been great in repairing my Passat and returning it to me looking good with a great car wash. The Staff at the payment center have always been very nice. I would never take my car to any place but to the Boardwalk VW for service. In fact, I never have!!!!!

Went to order a new passat tdi wanting a car that gets ok mileage and is bigger than a prius. I wanted a black with black interior premium sel. They had a guaranteed sale. I had financing already and money for a deposit to order the tdi. Well, they wouldn't budge off the msrp price. Charles kept going back and forth in negotiations with Edward. Only to give the typical song and dance excuses about why they won't come down from the msrp. Finally, I just said forget it and started to leave when Edward rushes over with a truecar printout that shows what others in the area paid which was comically an average of $750.00 less than the MSRP. I tried to explain to Edward this paper is just reiterating why I want some off the MSRP. So I just said ok we just aren't going to be able to meet on this deal, but thanks for your time. So I'm leaving and he became livid and stormed off and all the way from across the sales floor says "have fun wasting all your gas looking for a deal." Unbelievable that he would talk to a customer this way. Ok, we couldn't make deal, but you do not have to be rude! I will never be back, Edward!!! Now I am looking at toyota and honda cars because I can't stomach the thought of a Volkswagen. Thanks for showing true customer service before I am even stuck as a customer. I have never owned a Volkswagen and never will.

The entire crew at Boardwalk VW has been great - especially Kenny Smith (Service). Kenny takes the time to fully understand your service needs; and, then remains in contact with you during the service process. Doesn't matter if it's for a simple oil / filter change or other (BTW - we had only two warranty visits for our CC, both relatively minor). The extended service hours, including Saturday, are much appreciated.

The above scale is so broadly defined that there is no differentiation between the service writer, Jeff Mauldin, who we have every confidence in and would rate the highest marks and unknown technicians who we have much less confidence in and would not provide a rating that is nearly as high. When you have what my wife and I consider to be a car that has more problems than we expect a Volkswagen to have, it tends to color your perception of the customer service experience in a slightly negative way even before you bring the car for service. The problems always seem to be eventually repaired and the car gets back to running fine, so I guess all is well that ends well.Everyone we have come in contact with at the dealership has been extremely courteous and friendly. Even when we have had serious issues resulting in our meeting with Service Manager, Jason Lederer, he was attentive to our concerns and addressed our needs in a completely satisfactory manner. Baseed on the above, it is easy to see that a good rating is all that I can give for Overall Experience. When things break in the car that you don't think should break and you have to pay for them, then it becomes hard to think your getting a great price.

I bought my New Beetle 2-1/2 years ago and except for a flat tire, I've not had anything go wrong with it. So I've been a somewhat infrequent visitor to Boardwalk -- just oil changes and inspections (and the tire thing) And I sometimes stop by to get my tires aired up. But Gary Blakley, the fellow who sold me my car, has continued to send cards and letters and keep in touch with me and make me feel like he really cares that I'm happy with my car and with the service I get when I do go in for something. And everyone there is just as nice as he is -- I really don't know where they get those people! Sensitivity training? Everyone, and I do mean everyone, that I have dealt with at that place is just great. The price is ok, I haven't shopped around to see who charges what for oil changes, but I'd rather have it done there anyway.

I purchased a 2002 New Beetle in 2004 from a private dealer, and started using Boardwalk Volkswagen Richardson for servicing my "new" (to me!) vehicle. I chose the dealership only because of the convenience of the location but soon discovered how lucky I was. The service team is absolutely wonderful, always attentive and patient. They treat their customers with respect and if I could give them a higher rating than 5, I would. I especially have to give kudos to Billy Cooper who is usually there on Saturdays when I visit and has always been so very helpful.Whenever I would bring my New Beetle in for service, I stayed far away from the Sales area, because of bad experiences with other dealers. That was remedied after meeting Gary Blakely. After 8 years of driving my New Beetle, it was finally time to get another vehicle. Jeff Fagan pointed me in Mr. Blakely's direction. Gary was polite, funny and so kind to me. He listened to what I had to say, and let me drive a 2012 Beetle for the day to help my transportation issues since my old car was not drive-able. After much consideration, I have leased a 2012 Jetta, and could not be more pleased. Gary asked me to stop by to say hi the next time I'm visiting, and I get the feeling he's not just saying that - he really means it.At each step, every employee I encountered asked how I was doing, and if I needed anything. Jeff Fagan was especially kind and wanted to make sure I had a good experience. I could buy the same class of car for less from another company, but it's worth it to me to continue to bring my business to Volkswagen, all due to Boardwalk Richardson.

The service at Boardwalk VW is excellent. The service adviser's keep you informed of the progress of the work that is being done on your vehicle. As usual the cost of repairs at a dealership tends to be a lot higher than at other places. Apart from the cost I will recommend the dealership.

My most recent service was an issue related to an accident last spring in which a part failed that should have been replaced as part of the body work related to the accident. Bob King identified this as an issue that needed to be covered by insurance through a supplemental claim. When it was difficult to get the insurance company to respond on a timely basis he put me in a loan vehilce and continued to 'bird dog' the insurance people until they approved the work. Bob was persistant, polite, and very professional. I enjoyed working with him.

We were contemplating a purchase of a new vehicle for few months and my husband had test driven VW Passat TDI SE earlier and was impressed. He had asked to me to visit VW dealership and take a look but I never had time for it. Finally, Thaksgiving Day I started looking for dealerships and went on VW website and requested a quote from all local dealers. Within an hour I had an e-mail from Steve Lin at Boardwalk VW and all he did was wished us a happy Thanksgiving and that he is looking forward to meeting with us. I was impressed - right there I felt that there was no pressure, just a pleasant, thoughtful note. Finally on Friday evening, we had the opportunity to call him and went to see him. We were pleased with our meeting. Steve was very professional yet friendly, enthusiastic and easy to talk to. We were in luck! Not only did we meet a very nice person, the dealership had a 2012 VW Passat TDI in stock and we purchased it. We love it!

Brought my 2005 Passat Wagon into Boardwalk Service Department because I had observed a coolant leak. Despite not having an appointment, Brandon was able to have my car looked at; the mechanic diagnosed the problem (leaking coolant flange) and was able to repair it properly within a few hours. We also have a 2004 Passat Wagon that had a minor issue, Brandon got us a quick diagnosis on it while we were picking up the '05, and let us know it was something to keep an eye on, but didn't require immediate attention. When Boardwalk moved a bit further north on North Central, we had our cars serviced by others that were more "convenient", but we were not always happy with the work. Our recent experience at Boardwalk was great, Brandon was friendly and attentive to our needs. We look forward to having our cars serviced at Boardwalk.Want to also mention that we purchased our 2005 from Gary Blakely and Jim Duke, which also was a good experience.

As for price, they have always been fair with the repairs, don't argue what is not needed, etc... And for friendliness, I listed few of their employees which I remember because they specially helped for one reason or another and I happen to have their cards, but truth is that all were good.

I contacted Mr. Hatley on a Wednesday and asked him for availability of a Jetta Sportwagen S Manual suitable for the lease deal advertised by VW North America. He did not have one in stock, but we made an appointment to discuss ordering one. He called me back within 24 hours having found a vehicle that was exactly what I wanted. I went to the appointment and told him I had changed my mind and now needed an automatic. He was very responsive. He located another vehicle that fit my needs almost immediately, and ran the negotiations for the lease price expertly and efficiently. They agreed to my offer, and I went in the next day and picked up my car. Total time in dealership - about an hour and a half. Very fast, excellent service, amazing car. I am very impressed with Boardwalk, their management and with Mr. Hatley, a gentleman and scholar. I recommend him to others. Doug Eckel

Service was performed quickly. Service manager honored VW competitor coupon which made the price outstanding for an oil change. Techs who service the car are not as careful cleaning up (thorough wipe down of minor spills/drips) after performing the work as I would prefer. Nice touch is the courtesy car wash provided. The service hours meet my needs well. The waiting area is very comfortable, WiFi capable, television and well stocked with snacks and beverages.

We all know Volkswagen is stellar in customer service. My last visit was no exception. I did not make an appointment - took advantage of the quick service offer. I own a 2009 CC (bought it in '08, which makes me among the 'first' to own the sleakest ride in the nation!). So on this visit, I arrived at 3:00pm and needed a headlight replaced, oil change, and inspection. I also had a prescheduled 5:00pm important appointment. When Jeff Fagan offered to assist me, I informed him of all this and asked if I should return on another day (there were several cars ahead of me). But he promised to take care of me. He did just that! Instead of my having to worry and wonder, Jeff not only took the time and visited with me twice in regards to the progress, but he also checked on my warranty coverage. So not only was the process handled in a superbly expeditious fashion, but I arrived at my 5:00pm appointment turning heads (my vehicle was spotless!) with 15 minutes to spare!

My first connection with Michael was on the phone. I called about whether they had the new Passat diesel available to test drive yet. Michael's positive attitude and exhuberance came through the phone as he assured me they had one here and that I could come out anytime and he would be glad to help me. I made sure to jot down his name and ask for him when I went out to see the car. When I arrived, I asked for him and he was prompt in coming out immediately to see me. Another salesman had the car out on a test drive so we chatted about the car and it's details while we waited.Once we were in the car, Michael methodically went over each feature detail by detail. It was very impressive as to the degree of his knowledge of the car. That first visit sold me on the car along with Michael's help. I brought my wife out to see and test drive the car within a few days. She was very impressed with the car and with Michael. We decided on that visit to pre-order the car with exactly what we wanted on it. Michael helped us through that process quickly and easily. That was on August 6, 2011. Michael told us it would take 60-90 days for our car to arrive. Each time I called out to talk to him about how soon the car might arrive, he went out of his way to check on the progress and let me know either while I was on the phone or by return call what to expect. Never did I feel like I was bothering him or keeping him from other business during our conversations. He made me feel as though I was his only customer in the world. When the big day arrived, he was as excited as we were. He had the car processed and detailed, all the paper work taken care of, and had put the car inside one of the showroom areas overnight. When I got there, the car was inside and ready for us to go over some more details. We took it on a short test drive for him to point out some features I may have forgotten. The closing was fast and simple, the dealership allowing me to charge a portion and write a personal check for the balance. Wonderful. I brought the car back two days later to have the ceramic tint installed that Michael told me about. Again, he was there to talk more about the car and help out with a loaner while it was being serviced. I look forward to seeing Michael frequently in the future whenever I visit your dealership. His profession courtesy and knowledge warrants him the highest marks on any scale of service. The dealership should be extremely proud to have Michael on their team

Over the past several years I have bought five cars from Gary B.They were/are: Beetle (Gary let me drive it home to see if it would fit in my garage, as i have a 1950s house with a one car garage. Enjoyed the ride so much that I called&said it was mine when I returned in about 40 min.Next was a Jetta (comfy but not enough rear view vision over the long haul!! Went back and, as before, asked for Gary but he was away that Sat. . . .so i called midweek for the following Sat.He is so gracious, cheerful & great about answering questions that a Rabbit was mine with no hassel paperwork.The following year my nephew was visiting from Univ of Alabama; needing a car, so I called Gary who said he'd look for a solid, decent mileage car if he could have two days max (nephew leaving shortly). Found 3 yr old Jetta & it is still doing fine in CA today!!My office was really amused when I said it was time for a change again!! Went. back and on Monday I came in with a Rabbit . . .due to Gary's salesmanship,personality, &the fact that he makes each cutomer feel that they are getting his full attention and is doing the best to get a fair deal . . .(including coffee, drinks, and Beetle choice of flowers . .until no longer offered).2009 was last purchase, and he just laughed when I called to see if he would be working that Saturday so that i could support his retirement fund by looking at a New Beetle!Gary cannot even SPELL high pressure. . . .a real positive over all these years. He is quiet with a fun sense of humor and somehow manages to think one step ahead of what a customer will be asking!!Betting that he has built a large following of customers who are happy to mention his name when friends/family are inquiring about cars.

I recently had some service issues with my VW Jetta and used your dealership for the first time. I was fortunate to be helped by Kenny Smith, who addressed all of my concerns and offered solutions in a professional, knowledgeable, and friendly manner. It is for this reason that I have rated Customer Service and Friendliness at 5.I rated Quality of Work at 5 because there is no indication that it deserves another score.My overall experience was a 5. The waiting room is designed with the customer's comfort in mind. Also, Kenny would come by from time-to-time to give me an updated status of my repairs. I rated price at 5 because this was warranty work.I will continue to use your Dealership for my service needs as I was most impressed with your desire to provide superior customer support.Thank you.

I bought a new Jetta TDI from Boardwalk VW last week, and my experience was great. I had 10 months left on my lease, and they worked with me to get out of the lease without incurring significant penalties. They also gave me a great deal on my new car. Within 24 hours of having the new TDI, it had a scratch on it. I was devastated, but they fixed it right up! I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the market for a VW.

I didn't schedule an appointment to have an oil change but I definitely waited a long time before anybody came to me; about 2 minutes or more. And I saw several service reps and only one of them was on the phone while the others were in front of their computers. The gentleman who greeted me went to one of the service reps and the service rep came over to the vehicle. He didn't share his name with me but said that he was busy doing something on the computer. I told him that I just needed an oil change and I would stay while it was being service. I appreciated the time it took to complete the task plus wash and vacuum the car. But I was disappointed in the service rep. After the car was service he didn't personally come over to me or anything. He gave the paperwork to the cashier and walked back....wow.I actually wanted to talk to him about the car. Since I had over 80,000 miles, I thought he might share with me some needed serviceable items in the near future. He missed an opportunity. Despite the fact, he didn't go over with me what was done. Yes, it was a routine oil change but the mechanics may have put something in the notes after changing the oil. Basically, I felt ignored. Lastly, the cashier did have something bring up the car so I wouldn't have to go over to it... I appreciated that small gesture.

Car in for its 24K Service cost covered by VWoA + Recalls + WarrantyGreat Service Team to work with.My only comment is that Dealership recently removed their late opening hours (->22:00) and now close at 19:00 which meant they had to keep the car and complete the recalls the following morning. I miss these late hours..

I purchased my Jetta SE from Volkswagen in Richardson. MATTHEW SMITH helped me test drive a couple cars and was extremely cooperative while I was making decisions for everything. This dealership has a great atmosphere and has incredible sales people to help with anything. GARY BLAKLEY helped me with the official documents. Nobody here will force you to make any decisions on the spot and they won't push you towards making a decision if you're not ready. They make sure you are completely satisfied before you sign any papers. Overall, my experience in this dealership was wonderful. I got the car I wanted for a reasonable price and I had the help of some wonderful people. A big thank you to Matt and Gary for a good experience!

Overall, the service department at Boardwalk is awesome. They are very friendly, take care of their customers and do great work. The most frustrating thing about my 2006 Passat is the Cost of Ownership. The engineering, in my opinion, was poor. For example, the price to fix a bad sensor for my electronic parking brake was $350. For my recent visit, to fix a bad temperture sensor was $600 - almost all of this was labor. I am very disappointed in the German engineering that went into this vehicle. Even simple things like the interior have worn much faster than expected - material is peeling off of the interior door handles and the center console knobs have paint flaking off. While the car drives really well, the attention to details by the German engineers was extremely poor - they did not design the car with service in mind.

I cannot say enough about the great customer service provided to me at Boardwalk VW of Richardson. In a situation where I was forced to begin searching for a new car, I listened to the advice of a friend--and current VW owner--and landed at Boardwalk VW.Will Fail, my Sales Consultant, demonstrated a true interest in my needs, my financing preference, as well as the realistic parameters for my next car purchase. His customer communication skills are to be commended!Additionally, Will's quality customer-focused approach, combined with a no-pressure salesman attitude, convinced me that I was at the right dealership and I was selecting a quality vehicle.After my car selection, it was a seamless transition to Patrick Carroll, the Finance Manager, to finalize my paperwork. Patrick made me feel quite at ease and completed the required documentation in a timely manner.Overall, I felt that I had landed in the hands of two big brothers--although I'm certain that I'm older than both of these great VW employees!Thanks again to the folks at VW Richardson!- Sharon Fletcher

Gary Blakely at Boardwalk VW in Richardson, TX was referred to me by a neighbor about 10 - 12 years ago. Since then Gary & the folks at Boardwalk have provided very good to excellent service in each visit, whether for purchase or car service. Gary specifically makes new or used car purchase as easy as possible. It would be very hard to consider buying a vehicle from anyone else.

I have been taking my two Jetta VWs for service here since 1985. I have always received great service at a fair price. Being a female it is comforting to know that the car is maintain correctly and they check out and suggest repairs that I am not aware of needing. Just this past week I was taking a long trip and knew I needed tires before leaving town - what I did not know is that my brake pads were in dire need of replacing - thanks to Kenny I drove out on Saturday morning knowing that the car was at it's optimal safe condition!

Me and my fiance went in to trade in our Kia Sorento to get a VW Jetta. Upon arrival we were very please from the beginning. There are not sales people waiting outside to bombard you like there are at every dealership. Gary our sale guy was awesome. He really made sure that we are okay and was constantly asking if we needing anything throughout the car buying process. We had 2 of our children with us, they had a kid room for the kids to play in, and all types of refreshments to help keep them busy. We have already decided that when we are ready to buy another car we will be going back to Board Walk VW in Richardson, Texas and we will be meeting with Gary again. He called to check and see how we like the car and we love it. Everybody up there was extremely friendly, and I would highly recommend them and Gary to anyone. I have bragged to all of our friends in family members how great they are, and they are shocked at our happiness coming from a car buying experience.

The staff at Boardwalk Volkswagen of Richardson treated us awesome and made our first time buying a car the best experience. The salesman, Donovan Guillory, was very helpful and thorough throughout the entire process. We really appreciated how upfront he was, that he "did not beat around the bush" so to speak, and how thorough he was. He took extra time to show us all there was to know about our new car and that really meant a great deal to us. Also being the first time to buy a car can be a really nerve racking situation and Donovan was able to make it a fun one. Being the first time to lease a vehicle, Donovan Guillory and Patrick Caroll made the process very easy, explained everything to us several times, and straight to the point. We would definetly recommend Boardwalk Volkswagen of Richardson to our friends and family!!!

I recently bought a used Volkswagen EOS in Flowermound. The dealership I went to recommended that I try the VW dealership out there, which I did. The quality of work they did was wonderful and they were very friendly when I was in the store. The problem was they never returned any of my calls or emails when I asked for quotes of future work. Overall the communication even about the work I was having done in there shop was poor. Therefore, I decided to give Boardwalk a try. What a GIGANTIC difference in service, and even friendliness. Bob was extremely professional, prompty attended to me even though I was a brand new customer and my initial service was kind-of small. He thoroughly checked out my car, adviced me about things I did not know about, and really made me feel welcomed and appreciated as a customer. Just recently I went in for another service. Same wonderful experience and they even washed my car...which it needed!! He promptly priced future work I wanted done and advised me about when to do certain maintance as well. I will definately be back. I love, love, love my EOS and plan to be a long-term customer! Thank you so much!!!

I have an intermittent problem with my A/C unit that has been difficult to diagnois. My service rep, Jeff Mauldin, originally recommended that we put a dye refrigerant in and come back in a month or so and see whare it was leaking. That visit cost me about $350. I brought the vehicle back in a second time and this time Jeff said that the tech had looked at the log in the on-board computer and found that the condesation unit's fan was cutting off when at idle and that this was caused by a bad battery. So, they replaced the battery (at a cost of almost $400) and sent me on my way. When I asked why they had not diagnosed the problem correctly on my first visit, I got immediate respones indicating that they would make it right. When I brought the vehicle back in to have a part installed that I had ordered, I reported that the A/C problem had occurred again. This time they kept the vehicle 2 days but were unable to reproduce the problem. I told them that I would continue to drive the vehicle until the A/C stayed broke. When I when to check out, I found that Jeff had comp'ed the price of the part that I had ordered ($130) and the entire amount of this visit's service as well as putting a $170 credit on my account. I appreciate Boardwalk VW's desire to get it right and do right by their customers.

Since moving to Richardson 7 years ago, we have been to Boardwalk for ALL of our service needs. I own a Chevrolet while my wife owns a VW. I have to admit that when we come to Boardwalk I feel absolutely comfortable that my wife's car is taken care of and that all service recommended is reasonable. Unfortunately I do not feel the same when I take my vehicle to the Chevy Dealership. Believe me wife does not let me forget it. But I have to admit, Boardwalk is simply better. The work is done in a timely fashion. The staff tells us what to expect, we have had no unpleasant surprises. One of the reasons we feel so confident in the service we receive is the people. For example Tie Johnson is, "Da Bomb." Like the rest of the staff, she has a smile on her face, when/if you meet her you will find that she is engaged and knowledgeable. When you meet people who care they stand out. I am thankful that we have Tie to call upon. Tie is not alone, she is supported by Service Director Jason Lederer. I was so impressed with Tie, I felt compelled to share our experience with Jason. I think the fact that Jason recognizes that Tie is an asset speaks volumes about him and the organization.As long as we keep getting this level of service Boardwalk has our business.

Donovan took his time showing me around and never complained about the extra time he had to put in after the actual transaction was completed. I would recommend Donovan to my friends and family.I was not to impressed by Jason the sales person. He was not professional at all times especially when I called my friend to makes sure all the financial regulations did not have a catch. He responded quite rude to additional questions I had and he tried to rush me into a purchase. He did not want to grant me the extra time. He recovered the next day and it went quite smoothly.

He was friendly and kept me informed on the progress throughout the process and the service was done in a timely manner. Boardwalk VW provided me with a loan car while my car was being serviced.

I'm on my second Jetta Diesel (unfortunately I was hit on Central Expressway at 65+ mph- I didn't didn't a scratch but my wonderful car couldn't be saved....so I got another as soon as I could)One of the best qualities of my VW is dependable TRUSTWORTHY service. And the best news I've have lately is that they'll service other "brands" of cars so I can trust them with my children's vehicles.My 100,000 checkup was completed timely at a very affordable price.

There should be a way to customize a car at the dealership, like the global VW website offers, and search for an instant match on the property. Overall, good experience.

Jeff Fagan at Boardwalk VW in Richardson is by far the best Service Adviser I have ever dealt with on any car that I have owned. He called us everyday with service updates and advised us on what work needed to be done. Everything was above board, and we absolutely appreciated to continuous follow up until our service was complete.

My overall experience with working with Terry Granger and the VW team was great. Terry was very helpful and even researched a prior service ticket. I am still waiting on a phone call regarding my center console for my 2006 Pasat. Apparently the part was returned or given to someone else. As soon as it arrives I would like to know so it won't happen again. Terry was on top of this issue and made the necessary phone cals to get another one ordered for me----I truly appreciated his extra efforts.The only reason I gave "price" an okay is because I can never seem to get out of the VW dealerhip with repairs less than $1000. Would appreciate any coupons to assist with the cost. I did utilize my 10% coupon for this service visit.Thanks, Martha (Marti) McCune

I bought by New Beetle a little over 2 years ago and have been back to the dealer maybe 4 or 5 times for oil changes, a new tire, and a couple of minor things. Every time I was there, without exception, every person I dealt with could not have been nicer, more friendly, or more helpful. The waiting area is nice (flat screen TV, tables, chairs, magazines, drinks, food--even free cookies--the good kind!), nice restrooms -- and if you don't want to wait, they'll take you wherever you want to go. And they always wash your car for free. As for the price, I don't know how it compares to other places because I don't WANT to go anywhere else -- so my "ok" rating is not really a reflection on Boardwalk Volkswagon's price -- I would just naturally rather pay less.

I was welcomed into the dealership by Brandon Lucido. He greeted me in a very warm and professional way. He took me step by step into what I am looking for in a car and also stayed within my budget. From there we went on a test drive and it was followed by an overview of the car, which I hadn't experienced before at the VW in McKinney. The best part about my experience with VW of Richardson is that Brandon took the time to explain the process from test driving to buying to finance, since this was my first car purchase ever since college. I would without a doubt recommend this dealership to friends and family, and especially the cutest sales man Brandon ;)-Jackie-

Josef Puhringer at Boardwalk Volkswagen made shopping for a new car a fun and easy experience. I've had my eyes on a VW convertible since I was 15 years old- back when it was the Rabbit! When VW came out with the EOS I knew that was going to be my next car. I was able to take a test drive around the neighborhood, and also on the highway for a speed assessment. Josef showed off all of the spectacular features of the car, and of course allowed me to put the top down in order to make the test drive as fun as possible. Josef has also followed up with me on several occasions to ensure that I am still happy with my purchase, and to see if there is anything else I need from the team at Boardwalk Volkswagen. I really do feel like my car is in the hands of a team that treats their customers like family!!

I came by the dealership because I had purchased a new VW Jetta from D & M Leasing and wanted to get a service warranty check on the vehicle. Ms. Cloud advised I could get a 27 point inspection at any time. I figured that would be ok but it was really not what I was looking for---I wanted the vehicle to be checked out under the service warranty of the vehicle to make sure all was good and if anything needed to be replaced under the warranty before the milage expired out.I was satisfied for the time being.

We met with Tony Brown in July, knowing our car would not be available until October. We were able to pre-order our car to our liking and Tony was able to have it delivered to the dealership early. The whole process from ordering the car to purchasing was fast and easy. Tony kept in touch with us on the status of the car and informed us when a car was available for a test drive. I had just had a baby and Tony offered to have the car sent to hour house, so we wouldn't have to make the trip to the dealership. We went to the dealership, but it's customer service that goes above and beyond is why we keep coming back.

Took a long time and far too expensive. Just because you are the only people who can perform a 4-Link alignment doesn't mean you should gauge the service-price. Also, I saw an advertised online price of around $100 for the 10k mile service (oil change, tire rotation, etc) and it was about $150. Why?

I scheduled my car for a regular oil change. I also asked that a noise that I thought was unusual be investigated. Ms. Johnson saw me come for the appointment, and even though it was past time for her to go home, she greeted me enthusiastically and took over the checkin of my vehicle. It had been several months since I had seen her last; I am amazed that she remembered my husband and me so clearly. She listened carefully when we described the noise and she made appropriate notes, promising that the technicians would listen both when the car was started cold the next day and also as it was being driven. Then she did something I have never seen a representative do when we brought in a vehicle. She checked the oil level! She verified that it was fine. When she called the next day, her message was cheerful and professional, stating that the car was ready. As I was leaving and having a conversation with one of the personnel about my confusion concerning how a coupon I used had been applied, Ms. Johnson approached and in a few sentences explained the whole situation clearly to me.

With the amount of miles I drive on a weekly basis, I was looking for somehting that wouldn't take me to the poor house. I ended up with a 2012 Jetta TDI. Yes, the payment did go up, but I will save more than the increase in payment in fuel costs so it is a win, win situation. I absolutely love my new Jetta. This is now the second Jetta that I have bought from Boardwalk, and I recommend Jason and Brian to everyone I know.

It's been a super car and a super mechanic, Martin Roth (great attitude), does a great job with repairs and in keeping me informed on what the car needs. There's two other guys I need to mention because they are so helpful and frienly, Billy Cooper and Robert at receptions. I didn't buy my car from Gary only because I didn't know him back then or I would have. Over the years I've gotten to know Gary and he is a great guy, very friendly, upbeat, good sense of humor, courteous and professional with customers. He's really very customer oriented and approachable. A friend of mine and I like to shoot the breeze and talk VDubs with Gary when we happen to be in. There's also a Lubbock connection as I lived there from 1962 - 1969 and he was Buddy Holly's drummer! Gary, Billy, Martin and Robert get my votes!!!!

I have found that in most instances, when purchasing a new car, you need to have all defenses up, and I end up feeling taken advantage of. In this case, I never once felt that way. The experience was the best I have had. I was made to feel very comfortable the entire time, and was treated like an equal human being, not just some one whose money the dealership wanted. Needless to say I will be returning to Boardwalk in the future, and will be recommending Michael Savoie to everyone I know.

Our service was hands down the best car buying experience that I have ever had. Jeremy answered all my questions quickly and completely new his product and knew things that I did not think about but gave me the option to choose when something came up my car was delivered on time looked great. This was the 1st time that I ever bought a car and did NOT come away from the experience hating the fact that I had to do it.

I went in looking at the Eos. I had looked at an Eos at another dealership and wasn't that thrilled with their inventory. I really wanted the Black Oak Brown. Boardwalk just so happened to have exactly what I wanted. I spoke with Charles Currier initially and he was extremely helpful and took me for a test drive. He let me have the car overnight to make sure it really worked for me. The next day I came back to see if we could do a deal and Charles was with someone. Charles introduced me to Donovan Guillory. Very easy guy to deal with. I got the deal I wanted and went to finance and met Jason Daniel. He was very pleasant also to deal with and in fact helped me make some good decisions in the area of financing. This was the 2nd VW purchase for me from this dealership and they really don't make me dread the whole car buying experience. Thanks again and will recommend.

I have bought atleast 4 cars from Gary over the years, when I even try to buy a car somewhere else, Gary has stepped up and made a deal happen. With my most recent purchase in June 2011, I had already put a deposit down with another dealer, but Gary was able to beat the deal I had made and I bought the car from Gary after all! I joke with Gary that our relationship is like winning gameshow luggage, I never wanted it, but wouldn't go anywhere without it.

My check engine light came on and my car was doing weird things. When it was in park, the engine would start to rev and my rpms would be all over the place. I called Terry on Thursday and he was able to squeeze me in for service on Saturday morning (the busiest day at Boardwalk). When he called me and told me the problem I asked him to check and see if my extended warranty covered the service. Even though it didn't :-( he kindly gave me a discount on the service as well as a discount on a much needed oil change. He was very patient with me and my request to check with my extended warranty company because he had to wait until Monday to get a response. The shuttle driver (I believe his name was Edmond) was very professional throughout the entire process as well. Overall, I had a great friendly experience at Boardwalk Volkswagen and I would definitely recommend them to others.

My first visit to Boardwalk. Ms Johnson was attentive, courteous and helpful. Three minor issues; she took care of one right away, and others were taken care of correctly and in a timely manner. They provided a ride to/from work-very nice. I had to wait 10-15 minutes for car, which was surprising, since I was picked up after I received notice the work was complete. Ms Johnson followed up to minimize the wait. I appreciate her help and attitude throughout.

"I just want to say that Rick and Jeremy are THE BEST!!! This was our 3rd purchase from Boardwalk and we could not be happier!!! Our sixteen year old son totaled his car so we working on a limited budget and not once did your sales staff try to sell a more expensive car. Todd called Rick told him what happened and he and Jeremy worked to find the best car in our budget! The car we bought was a used car and it had a few dings on it when we first look at it. There was one on the bumper I though would not be repaired due to the severity, to our absolute surprise and amazement Rick and Jeremy had it fixed and a few other items. The car looked BRAND NEW when we went to pick it up. We LOVE Rick and Jeremy both they make the car buying experience WONDERFUL!!! Keep up the great work!

I have visited with Gary several times since we purchased the Rabbit. Looking at the 2011 Jetta and recently the 2012 Passat. I regard Gary as friend and great automobile salesman and would recommend him to anyone who in the market for a new VW. Boardwalk VW has serviced our Rabbit since we purchased the car. I am very pleased with the Boardwalk service department. I have been able to arrive at the service department early in the morning without an appointment and recieve the best of care.

My right front tire was bulging and after being told by a reputable tire company that no way would my tire be under warranty and that I needed to purchase a new left front tire so they would be the same age, I went to Boardwalk VW. Brandon Bolden came up to help and right away took charge of checking for the wear and tear on the tire and warranty coverage. It was covered and he saw no reason for me to buy a replacement for the left front tire. Instead of buying tires that day, I chose to do my 40,000 service instead. I really felt that I was in the hands of a young professional that day. And I'm glad I checked with Boardwalk VW before i made my final decision.

I was very relieved to find that there was a solution to the problem I was experiencing with repeated tire pressure alerts. Park Cities Volkswagen continued to tell me that it was the weather when the alert had triggered every weekend for four weeks, Park Cities service department told me there was nothing in the tires even though the alert would go off regularly on the same interval. Finally when the Park Cities service representative told me that they could take the tires off and submerge them in water if I were willing to pay $150, I decided to go back to the great guys at Boardwalk in Richardson despite the distance from my home, and I am glad I did. The Park Cities person told me that if it were her she would just go to Tire Discounters across the street. She didn't even bother to check the computer to see that I had extended tire protection, which Billy did tell me when he and his crew spotted a huge construction nail in one tire in a location that couldn't be mended and a smaller nail in another tire that could be repaired. I will continue to have my New Beetle Convertible serviced a Boardwalk, and if I decide to lease another VW in 2013 it will be from Boardwalk NOT Park Cities. Interestingly but not surprisingly, I have had several encounters with Park Cities but have never been asked for feedback after the service. Sorry this review was so much about them, but I'll close by saying that the dissatisfaction I had with Park Cities was displaced by the satisfaction from working with Billy Cooper and his crew. Thank goodness if there has to be a really bad one there is an even better good one in the same area.

Previous 2 purchases were for my daughter and being a father himself, he understood my concerns as a parent about safety, reliability etc., of the 2 Jettas I purchased for my daughter. This purchase was for Mama and she's very happy with the new addition to the family. Thank you.

Gary has a positive attitude that makes things "happen". You can list him on your financial balance sheet as an asset!!He left no stone unturned to help my girlfriend get financing on her new Jetta and an even lower price than she expected. At first she was turned down and then Gary crunched and re-crunched the numbers and cajoled the credit people. She left with a new car- and all her payments are on time(lol). She came feeling rejected but left with a big smile.Last week he helped me get the new "hot" Jetta GLI that is so much in demand. There were only a few in stock in the Dallas area and I wanted a specific combination of options. Gary located the one that fit my requirements down in Houston and I had it in a day.We have recommended the Blakley/Boardwalk combination to our friends.

Charles was knowledgeable, professional and very pleasant to work with. My experience with him and everyone else at Boardwalk is so exceptional, that I have purchased two cars in two years from them. The car buying experience is very different here compared to what I have experienced with other dealers. The sales people and managers are respectful, and you never get the feeling that they are playing games during your purchase experience. They really try to help you find what you want and try hard to accommodate your needs.

I would not hesitate to recommend this dealership and Gary Blakley in particular to any of my friends and acquaintences. In fact, I have recommended Gary and VW to three people. One of them bought a car from Gary. He does everything he can to make you feel comfortable. What I really loved is that he let the car sell itself. He was knowledgable but did not force anything on me. He let me know he is proud of the product and why. I was very satisfied when I drove off knowing that I had a quality product. By the way, it is the easiest car to drive I have ever owned. (VW Jetta wagen)Lora C.

Jeremy Heuss spent over 3 hours with me driving the Tiguan and explaining all of the features of the car. He kept the process fun and easy and not stressful! He did not give me a hard sell but rather worked with me to make the car affordable and gave me the time I said I needed to think it over and make my decision. He helped me to get a good trade in on my old car too. His follow up with emails was a nice way to keep me interested but not bothersome as phone calls can be. He also remembered things I had told him about myself and brought those up in the emails, a nice and personal touch. It showed me he cared not only about selling the car but about me and getting me in the right car that fit my needs and lifestyle.

I purchased a 2012 Jetta TDI. Donovan, the sales staff, and the finance manager at Boardwalk VW Richardson were great to deal with and straight forward. I was looking to buy a car on Saturday and visited another local VW dealership, which ended up being a horrible experience. The sales staff was ok, not great; however, the sales managers tried to be very tricky. After about the 8th time of the sales person going back into the sales office, he came back with a bottom line offer which was over $100 what i ended up getting. The other dealership negotiated based on payments; Boardwalk VW Richardson was straight forward with the sales price, trade amount, and final amount to finance. I don't need them to let me know what my payments are going to be; i have an app for that. I ended up getting a much better deal at Boardwalk VW Richardson; and on top of that, it was an excellent car buying experience. If you are in the dallas area, i would recommend Boardwalk VW Richardson; and Donovan Guillory as the sales person.

Jeff promptly came to my car, welcomed me, and asked what service I needed. I told him that I needed my tires checked since my low tire pressure tire light was on. He said that would be absolutely no problem, and he said he would also have them wash my car while I was there. A few minutes later, Jeff brought me out to my car to show me a screw that was in my tire, and to show me the tread was severely worn on my tires. So, Jeff worked with me to get the very best deal on tires and alignment from Volkswagen. He allowed me to what other deals I could find and assured me that he would match or beat any competitor's price. He wanted to make sure that I stayed at Volkswagen to ensure the best service. I called around, and I found one place that could do it for a bit less money, and he made sure he took care of me at Boardwalk. As soon as I gave him the go ahead, he took care of it that day, updated me frequently on where they were on the service and how much longer it would be to completion. He worked with me until I drove off. He also followed up with me to make sure things were going okay. I am extremely pleased with the level of service that I received with Volkswagen and Jeff Fagan, and I will definitely make sure I let others know about the great service I received.

I bought my vw rabbit from here back in 2008 and it's been running like a champ. I've always had my service done here and have been happy until my last service visit. Ever since i purchased the vehicle, i've complained to the service department about a knocking noise coming from the rear passenger side in the mornings or after the car has cooled off. after 2 years of chasing this ghost noise and numerous visits to the service department, they advised me that the noise was normal and common in my model rabbit.If i would have known the car had that issue, i would have never bought it. after asking them to even replace the pump making that noise, they refused and said i would need to contact VW customer service directly and never followed up on the issue. this is truly bad customer service and vw has lost a very loyal customer.

Jeremy Heuss was great to work with. I had my list the vehicles narrowed down between two different models that I was interested in when I walked into the dealership, but Jeremy very patiently showed me around both models and explained the differences between them and the options. He was very knowledgeable about the cars and was able to listen and understand my needs and match me to the right car. I also found it impressive that he personally owned one of the models that I was looking at and showed me some of the customizations that he had done to it. The fact that he personally drives what he sells speaks volumes.The dealership did a great job working with me on a lease arrangement that fit my budget and seemed like a fair price. And the whole process to do all the paperwork and drive out with the car was very smooth and relatively quick. The dealership was very earnest in making sure I understood and had all my questions answered on the details of the purchase and leasing arrangements.

Awesome Experience - Excellent Prices on Great Used Cars !!!!!!!!!I was in the market for a used car and came to Boardwalk Volkswagen because they had an excellent price for the vehicle I was looking for (a used toyota corolla). This dealership had very competative pricing on its used vehicles compared to other dealerships in the Dallas Ft. Worth metroplex, so I didn't mind driving to Richardson to give it a try. I was prepared for any sales experience to find the right car but after visting several other dealerships, I was unexpectedly suprised by the wonderful treatment I received at Boardwalk. Just 15 minutes before I arrived at the dealership on a Saturday afternoon, I called ahead to make sure the car I was interested in was still there. When I called I didnt have to wait on hold to finally get to a sales person who didn't know anything about the the car I was interested in, instead I was connected directly to a someone who knew everything about the car right then. When I arrived at the dealership 15 minutes later, Andy Ketch, sales consultant, had the car ready for me to test drive with the air conditioning already on (it was over 100 degrees that day). After visting many other dealerships in the heat, he was the only salesperson that didn't make me test drive a car that felt like it was 200 degrees inside the vehicle. This was greatly appreciated. The salesmen at this dealership, particularly Andy, are experienced and work hard on the details to make your experience great. The dealership sales approach was not rough, pushy, or egotistical.Unlike other dealerships where pushy people are trying to sell you something that they dont even know much about in 100 degree heat. Andy was great during the purchase negotiations, and did not forget to make sure I was still comfortable with something to drink, even helping me charge my cell phone so I could talk to my husband. He remebered the details and did not rush me into my decision to purchase the vehicle. The excellent sales experience along with an excellent price on the car (which was a beautifully clean and shiny used car with a 1 owner car fax) made it easy for me to feel comfortable to make the decision to buy the car. I would definately visit this dealership again either for a used vehicle or for a new VW, and look forward to doing business with them and sales consultant Andy Ketch again. Thanks Boardwalk!!!

I am a first time car buyer and I was a little nervous purchasing a car but Steve was great about helping me find a car that fit my budget and lifestyle. He showed me different makes and models and talked me through the ins and outs of buying a car. At no point did I ever feel like I was making the wrong decision and I cannot be any happier! If you ever need a car, call Steve.

I contacted Boardwalk Volkswagen after I learned the insurance company totaled my 2009 Jetta. I was not really ready to purchase a car and was mostly seeking information. I spoke with Josef Puhringer who exhibited a 'can do' attitude from the very beginning. I preferred to speak with him in person to gather information and told him about the car that I wanted. I came from the far side of the metroplex and was not able to get to the dealer until nearly closing time. He identified the vehicle from their inventory and had it available upon my arrival. After demonstrating that we could make the purchase that evening, we went forward to make that car mine. I got a deal I am very happy with and Josef Puhringer, the sales manager, and the finance manager all stayed well past closing to put me in the car. Even with the late hours, they did not cut any corners on courtesy. This was an overall great experience, thanks to their efforts.I have owned innumerable VW's in the past and this was my third Jetta. I will continue to purchase VWs and will revisit Boardwalk Volkswagen when the time comes again.Thank you Josef Puhringer!!!Gary C.

I went in looking for a lease on a new jetta advertised by volkswagon. Other area dealerships told me the price (2199 down plus first month) was non-negotiable. Vw boardwalk let me trade in my golf for the down payment and first month. It was my first time leasing and they made the process very easy and hassle free. Mr. Guillory was very nice and didn't try to convince me to upgrade, he worked within my price limitations. Pat Carroll made the financing worry free as well, I was in and out of the dealership in two hours with my new jetta! Incant recommend these guys enough. Great service, super friendly and welcoming. They set up my first servicing right then and there, and even topped off my gas. If you want a great car experience I suggest boardwalk vw!

I have already and will continue referring friends to Boardwalk VW. Its Not your dealership that impressesed me nor was it the selection of used cars. I found my car on line, I live two and a half hours away. Made it to Boardwalk met Mark and drove the jetta i was interested in. LOVED it from bought it. Drove it home, on my way home ck engine light comes on. I take it to my certified vw mechanic and finds no oil on dipstick. I painic I immediately think engine. I was called earlier by Bill Gironda following up on my purchase. When i told him of the no oil he asked me to bring it in.Not until i brought it in and mechanics checked it and the timing belt{My other big concern}Light went off drives smooth and got the ok till closer to 100,000 on timing belt. For the first time on my ride home did i open the sunroof crank the radio and cruise on back with peace of mind. Thanks to Bill and really following up and seeing the car was exactly what i thought i was buying. Money is tighter and tighter everyday, its such a blessing to know Boardwalk appreaciates you choosing them and truely want to take car of their customers. It matters! Thanks again guys I love my jetta!

I've been a VW fan for life. I've had 4 VW in the past 22 years. I purchased my last Jetta from Boardwalk and kept it for nearly 10 years, always having it serviced with their service department. When it came time to purchase my new VW, the CC in question there was no question about where to go in order to get the best experience possible. Boardwalk Richardson.Quite frankly for location convenience and trying to stay in the family, I had my first two warranty service visits done with another VW dealer closer to home. For this visit, I stopped by the Boardwalk Richardson service department on my way home, after having my battery drained due to the extreme heat we've been having. Unannounced and unscheduled by the way and 30min from closing. I was promptly attended by the service advisor who was extremely helpful in finding me a loaner vehicle (instead of having to drop the car off the next morning) and took my car in for service the next day. In 15minutes I was on my way home.The service crew not only resolved the battery issue, performed the 30K mile revision work, and state inspection, but was able to resolve a radio issue that was unresolved for months. Boardwalk VW of Richardson Service Advisors, Cashiers, and Technicians are 5 Star material. All were extremly helpfull and resolved my service issuses, even one that other service places could not resolve. Even with a dealer closer to home you can be certain that all of my VW vehicle service needs will be with Boardwalk of Richardson going forward.

Our car stopped moving AGAIN. It is time to grab a new one. But we have 1 boy at summer break and other 4 month baby. They don't give us much time. Plus hot temperature, it would be horrible for us to go out for looking a new car. Steve did help us out of the trouble. His kind and quick service saves us a lot of time and the most important we find a car we both love. I really appreciate all things Boardwalk and Steve did for us.

I found a great car while shopping online on a Friday night about 9pm. I had a couple questions and the website offered a live chat feature. I used it and within a few moments I had connected (through email) with the saleperson who would sell me a car the following day. I really appreciate the dealership being abreast of the best of technology - including online scheduling for service appointments. This tells me they understand their customers needs (we don't talk on the phone much anymore!).I was phoned the next morning first thing by the sales consultant, Mark Sayers, who had emailed the night before. By 10am I had an 11am appt set, the appt was confirmed with another phone call. By 1pm I was driving away in my new (used) VW completely happy with the day left to spend with my family. Quite frankly, I think the transaction could have been even faster, had I been more prepared and not made small talk with Mark! We really appreciated his sales "style". A very authentic man, who made us feel comfortable as we exposed some personal things to him (regarding credit challenges). I felt only comfortable with him and the entire experience was positive. Mark was confident in his abilities to get me the car I desired and I felt reassured by him and his commitment to the customer. His years of experience showed in our transaction - me a bit worried (about my limitations) and him telling me it was going to be ok! And it is. I absolutely love my VW (my third) and my husband plans to buy his next car from Mark and Boardwalk VW. You have an equally great finance guy in Mr. Weimer (I've blanked in his last name). I purchased the platinum extended warranty and I couldn't be happier. Everyone at Boardwalk VW was great. If you want an easy/no hassle/ no craziness car buying experience (in and out in under 3 hours) this is the place! Thanks Guys!!

After having recently been in a car accident I was in the market for a new car. Secondly I had previously owned a VW and was looking to stay with the brand. Having had a friend suggest we check out Boardwalk we did just that and I am very happy with the results. Our sales advisor was Andy and he did a fantastic job in providing all the information needed to be happy with purchasing our car. He made sure to reassure us of every detail that is relevant to the car and stayed with us throughout the evening to make sure we were happy and satisfied with our purchase.Overall I would recommend Boardwalk - VW - Richardson and Andy Kitch to anyone in the market for a new car.

Jeremy went the distance for us to help us make our purchase. Didn't feel pressured or glossed with a "Sales Pitch". We discussed facts and dealt with a professional getting what we wanted at the right price! This includes the Sales manager!Jeremy made sure we knew all about our new purchase including a tour of all features and assistance with set-up. It was a pleasure doing business with a team that knows how to provide quality service. We look forward to maintaining a relationship with this dealer.

I found the exact model of VW GTI I wanted online at the Richardson (TX) Boardwalk Volkswagen site, I clicked "request a quote" and was contacted via email by Jeremy Heuss within a couple of hours. His email included all the details of the car including the MSRP and Invoice price. Later that day I went to the dealership to see/drive the car and loved it. We closed the deal and I drove it home that day.Working with the dealership and Jeremy in particular was great, he gave me 200 over invoice without any haggling (always start over the internet in your car search, you basically get the price you could haggle to automatically). I've had a couple of questions since I got the car and Jeremy has been just as helpful as the day I bought the car each time I call.I couldn't recomend the Jeremy and the dealership more highly.

The Boardwalk dealership has always gone above and beyond anything I have experienced in buying and having cars serviced. From giving us a great low interest deal on our 2008 Beetle to the extended elements of the warranty. We were having budget problems when the car was dead and my wife needed to go to work. One cannot work on the battery yourself it is a special design only a dealer can properly handle. We were in a bit of panic worried about towing and labor we could not handle at the moment. Even the battery itself was $110. Boardwalk looked up my warranty info and provided a towing service to come and get the car and loaded it up with the utmost care and concern. They also came and picked me up with a shuttle and took me to pick the car up. Service was done, and they had cleaned the car also performing a points service check for free. The battery system was replaced and they even managed to have the time on the clock and our radio stations still programmed. The CD exchange mechanism had also stopped working and they ordered a new replacement radio as well. Simply amazing service. Despite having lost money on a tire replacement contract 3rd party that went bankrupt and kept our money, no blame was on the part of Boardwalk and their continued courteous and thoughtful service will assure we do our utmost to buy another car from them in the future.

This was my first car buying experience, and I had heard nightmares of the hassling that can come from car salesmen especially towards a female buying a vehicle. My experience at Boardwalk Volkswagen was far superior to the horror stories I had been told. From the moment I stepped foot on the property, I was treated with the utmost respect from everyone at Boardwalk Volkswagen.I came in to Boardwalk Volkswagen with the mentality that I was only looking for which car to purchase - but I informed Josef that I was probably 3-4 months from purchasing a vehicle. Josef respected me saying this and did not push me, but the information and knowledge he provided on the Jetta TDI brought me to purchase the vehicle that day. I could not have asked for a better experience in my car buying. Josef was 100% responsible for the decision I made and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Josef!

I WAS SHOPPING FOR A MINIVAN (AFTER SHORTLISTING BETWEEN TOYOTA SIENNA, HONDA ODYSSEY AND VW ROUTAN) AND FINALLY MADE THE DECISION TO BUY VW ROUTAN. VISITED BOARDWALK VW SHOWROOM ON JULY 5TH AT 2:10 P.M. (FIRST SHOWROOM VISITED - SINCE THE RATING WAS VERY HIGH, I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE A BETTER DEAL AND BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE) I BROWSED THE WEBSITE BEFORE GOING TO THE SHOWROOM, I PICKED THE MODEL AND THE FEATURES AND SHORTLISTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AND OBVIIOUSLY IT WAS LOCKED. I LOOKED AT THE COLOR AND THE EXTERIOR IN THE SUNLIGHT - WHICH MADE PERFECT SENSE., THEN MADE MY WAY TO THE SHOWROOM (APPROX AROUND 2:20 P.M.) TO INSPECT THE INTERIOR FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS IN THE SHOWROOM TILL 2:45 P.M. CT. I DID NOT BELIEVE MYSELF THAT I WAS NOT GREETED BY ANYBODY INSIDE THE SHOWROOM DURING MY PRESENCE (THERE WERE APPROX 7 TO 8 EMPLOYEES) NOR I WAS OFFERED ANY HELP. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. NOT TO MENTION THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CUSTOMERS IN THE SHOWROOM LOBBY. ALL THE EMPLOYEES WERE IN THEIR OFFICES WORKING ON SYSTEMS. I STARTED LOOKING AT THE ROUTAN INTERIOR (WHITE - SE MODEL PARKED INSIDE THE SHOWROOM). I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE INSIDE THE SHOWROOM FOR ATLEAST 25 MINUTES. IT WAS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE THAT NOT EVEN ONE EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGED MY VISIT. I HAD QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS. BUT NO HELP FROM THE STAFF - VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING. I HOPE THE APPROACH CHANGES GOING FORWARD. I WENT TO OTHER VW SHOWROOM AND FINALLY PURCHASED MY ROUTAN ON JULY 11TH. I WAS RECEIVED, ACKNOWLEDGED AND THEY WORKED WITH ME TILL 10 P.M. TO OFFER THE BEST DEAL AND CLOSE THE SALE. I GOT WHAT EXACTLY I WANT. I HOPE THE MANAGEMENT AT BOARDWALK VW RICHARDSON WILL LOOK INTO THIS AND CHANGE THEMSELVES IN THEIR APPROACH.

Jeff Fagan provided truly exceptional customer care- as a female in a car repair shop I have not always been treated with respect, but Jeff was both courteous and considerate. When an unforseen problem arose with my car he called and explained, and made sure I was comfortable with making the necessary repairs before he proceeded. He was indeed forthcoming about the entire process- and when my car was ready he personally brought it around for me while I was with the cashier, parked it in the shade, and thoughtfully left the air running! I will definitely be requesting him next time I need repairs. I did not interact as much with the other members of the staff at Boardwalk VW, but I was left with a sense of professionalism and pride in their work.

Boardwalk Volkswagen of Richardson is far and away the best VW service center I have been to since I have owned my car. I was immediately greeted by Terry when I pulled my car up in the service garage. Since I was not going to wait for the service, he asked me if I needed a ride to my next destination. After only a little over an hour, Terry promptly called me to tell me that my car was finished, and again, he offered me a ride back to the dealership. With regard to the actual service on the vehicle, I couldn't have been happier. Terry actually listened to me when I requested a check of certain parts of the vehicle. The areas of concern were addressed quickly and thoroughly. Overall, I would say this is one of the best dealerships for VW service in town. Everyone was quick and informative, and I highly recommend working with Terry if you need to bring your car in for service.

Went to Boardwalk Volkswagen for the 90 service check-up for my 2011 Jetta. Brandon was right there at the scheduled time and was friendly and gave me an idea how long it would take and where my son and I could wait until it was finished. There were two recall notices that he informed me of during the process and asked me if I had the time to have these fixed on that day. I appreciated the fact that he was aware of my time and that I had a 5 year old with me. Everyone at Boardwalk was friendly and helpful and I enjoy catching up with Jeremy Heuss, the salesman who leased me the vehicle. I had my wife's Jetta serviced here as well and that was also a positive experience. I've never had an issue scheduling the day and time I wanted. I would definitely recommend Boardwalk Volkswagen for current and future Volkswagen owners.

I have purchased multiple vehicles from Rick over the years and would not hesitate to do so again when the time comes for another. Always a fair price and no BS negotiations. Always willing to make the deal right not only for the customer but also for his business.

Service Drive Manager Jeff Fagan is a class act. I was a customer of his at another dealership before following him to Boardwalk VW. In Jeff, you have a proven winner, someone who understands all aspects of VW service and can relate to customers, advisors, techs, and supervisors alike. He is conscientious, knowledgeable, and has great interpersonal skills. Boardwalk VW has hit a home run in hiring Jeff Fagan.

He went above and beyond his job, dealing with my warrenty company, in making sure that everything was covered leaving me with as littledebt as possible. Jeff is truly a remarkable, one of a kind individual. I plan on getting all of my repairs in the future through this service department. I would like to extend my appreciation to him for all of his hard work on my behalf once again. Thanks Jeff

Best automotive service visit we have ever had. Our service advisor (Jeff Mauldin) exceeded our expectations with overall visit to the dealership. We dropped off our vehicle and Wolfgang shuttled us to the mall. After the service was completed Wolfgang returned to the mall for drive back to dealership. i have purchased 20 cars in my 53 years and have never had a great experience like this. We are from another city that is 400 miles from this dealership. Thank you Jeff Mauldin and Wolfgang.

He was very fast with answering emails, and was an overall pleasure to work with. I prefer a more casual feel when I comes to buying a car and that is exactly what I encountered.Bottom Line... I would recommend this dealer and especially Mark Sayers, the sales rep that helped me from beginning to end. A+!- Jacob

From the moment I walked in the dealership, I was treated with respect and a genuine sense of friendliness and care. My salesman issued great patience for all my questions, and was not snide in his remarks towards any pricing offers given. Instead, simply worked with me so that we would both be willing to come to an agreement on a great vehicle. So far, I am loving my 2010 VW Jetta Limited, and if the way i was treated by every staff member throughout the process is a telling sign, I believe I will continue to appreciate the excellent customer service. Finally, they took "going the extra mile" literally, as they delivered my car an hour away due to paperwork, and were so willing to work with me no matter what the sacrifice incurred for them. So glad to be back in a Jetta..Simon

Josef assisted my husband in surprising me with a much needed gas saver vehicle for my birthday. I have to say that it was an amazing surprise as I pulled up the car on your website and showed him the exact one I wanted. To my surprise it arrived today, the exact one that I pulled up. The website eliminates the idea of going in and feeling the pressure of car shopping, however Josef made this experience a memorable one as it was not your typical car buying experience which was the reason my husband dreads purchasing cars. There were no tips and tricks with this experience and I would for sure send my closest and best friends to see him. He was very knowledgable with the 2010 Jetta model and knew the ethics of his job. It was definately a pleasure to work with him and we appreciate the fact that he was different and so was your dealership. The atmosphere surroundings were extremely professional and Josef just adds to that quality of your dealership. He has no idea what he has done for our family in this economy while we traded in a gas guzler and I drive over 70 miles a day. Thanks so much and you Josef you are awesome...I can't wait to refer my closest to you :)

I visited Boardwalk Volkswagen of Richardson on 5/19 to look at the new Jetta TDI as my current TDI lease was expiring. I was approached by Josef Puhringer and he was very helpful and engaging. He walked me through the new 2011 Jetta TDI features and we discussed the current inventory (only 1 in stock) and the next batch arriving the following week. I would have been satisfied to wait but I wanted to take a look at the CC.Josef took me for a test drive in a 2012 R-Line CC and I loved the features and performance. We then started looking at options to buy a CC as VW is running the 0% interest special. We test drove the CC I would eventually buy and worked out the numbers. Once I got to finance, it was about 10 minutes with Patrick and I was the proud owner of a new CC.The whole process took about 5 hours from walking in the door and driving off. I made the process longer because I was not planning to drive off in a new car that day and was unsure if I wanted to buy that day. Josef was very patient with me and clearly discussed my options. I am very satisfied with his service and sales style. It was not pressure based or overbearing as I have experienced in other dealerships in the past.I returned on 5/21 to finish the "delivery" with Josef as I ran out of time on the 19th. He walked me through all the features of the vehicle that were new to me compared to my 2006 Jetta. He also helped me with the parts department to try and located an MDI connector that might work with my iPhone in a bumper case.Overall, this was a very pleasurable buying experience. I did not feel hassled and I would gladly recommend Boardwalk VW Richardson and Josef Puhringer to my friends looking to buy a new car.Thanks Josef and VW Richardson!Justin G.

After making an enquiry via the Internet I had to wait a couple of days for a response apart from the automated response. From there on in I had pretty good service, the staff were friendly and courteous and explained the process very well. The only reserve I had was I felt like I was being rushed a little when they got a finance package agreeable to me and I felt a little more time to go over the details would have been nice. On hindsight I guess I could have held back on signing and gone over the paperwork more but the way the package was explained to me was pretty clear and I was happy enough to sign. The car was made available to me with all the items sorted they had mentioned to me and so far am very happy with the car.

Boardwalk Volkswagen was my second Volkswagen buying experience within the same week. I had assisted a family member in buying a new Volkswagen at a different dealership. The difference between the 2 dealerships was like night and day. Boardwalk Volkswagen was a far superior buying experience than the other dealership. When I arrived at Boardwalk, I was greeted by smiling employees. I asked for Jeremy Heuss whom I had been in contact with via emails prior to my visit. Jeremy Heuss was extremely knowledgeable about the car and was very enthusiastic when discussing the vehicle. As a car enthusiast, it really felt good talking to a salesman who knew the car and wasn't just reading the window sticker to me. The price was also better than the other dealership. The other dealership tried to add a $2500 "market adjustment" on the TDI cars. Everyone that I dealt with at Boardwalk was friendly and knowledgeable of their department. In the weeks after the purchase I have been contacted several times by members of the Boardwalk team to assure that I am happy with the purchase and asking if I have any questions or comments. Their level of customer service goes above and beyond what you would expect from a dealership. The entire buying experience was a pleasure and I will definitely recommend Boardwalk to family and friends.

I first visited Boardwalk VW in November 2010 because I knew I would be in the market for a new car in the summer of 2011 and I wanted to get a head start on my research. I told my salesman, Mark Sayers, about my intentions, and he still treated me with kindness, humor, and generosity knowing that I wasn't going to be serious about buying until months later. That stuck with me. In fact, even though I did more online and magazine research about different makes and models across the board (not just VW), I still remembered the test drive I took back then and the pleasurable experience I had. When I saw in May 2011 that VW was having a national sales incentive on the same model I test drove earlier, I contacted Mark who remembered me and acted like the past several months hadn't passed. Having a lot of retail sales experience myself, I was very impressed with this because any and all salesmen see hundreds of people every month, and to remember one (especially after only dealing with them a few hours one night months ago) is a skill that few rarely achieve. Even though my credit rating was not perfect, we worked out a deal that was cheaper than what I was paying per month and saved me the hassle of turning in a leased car that I know would have incurred additional fees due to minor cosmetic damage. At that time, I was handed over to Jason Daniel in the Finance department to finalize the deal. Jason was more introverted than Mark but he REALLY knew his stuff. I asked him specific questions and he would either know the answer off the top of his head or looked the answer up right then and there. With the help of some down payment money, he was able to make a deal even better than what Mark offered me earlier! I should also mention that I didn't even see Jason until after the dealership closed at 8pm, but I never got the impression that either he or Mark were irritated or annoyed that we were all there that late. Again, customer service skills like these are rare to find, and I believe, based on my experience, that Boardwalk VW screens their employees to make sure that they are nothing but the best! :)

I can't say enough good things about Boardwalk VW of Richardson! They have the best Sales and Service staff around. Leasing a VW has always been an easy experience. They continue to make it easy to do business after the sale. I like that you are able to set up service appointments via their service website...no need to make a call. I also love that the service department has late weekday hours as well as Saturday hours which makes it easy to keep your VW in tip-top mechanical condition. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the service waiting area is very comfortable should you want to wait. I've leased/purchased from at least 4 VW dealerships in the DFW metroplex and I think Boardwalk VW or Richardson has provided the best overall experience!

I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how grateful I am to each of you for the great service I received when buying my 2010 GTI yesterday. Harold is a tremendous salesman that really knows his products and he made my car buying experience outstanding. This is the second car I have bought from him and I will reach out to him again when it's time for my next new car. Kai was very instrumental in helping me resolve a small issue I had with the new car. When I came back into the dealership at 7pm on Friday night instead of asking me to make a return trip to the dealership the following day he was able to work me in and made sure the issue was resolved that night before I left. Tia in the service department has to be the kindest most eager to serve adviser I have every met. She worked with one of your most knowledgeable mechanics Greg to insure the problem was fixed before returning the car to me. When they presented the car to me on the service drive Tia and Greg explained what the problem was in detail and what was done to correct it and I have to say it's employees like these that will keep me coming back to Boardwalk VW for many years to come. Again thanks to all of you for going above and beyond my expectations in helping resolve this issue and for the absolutely awesome customer service!!! Thank You,Bobby

If you go to Boardwalk Volkswagen to shop for a new car, ask for Josef. He has represented us on the purchase of two new VW's. Josef knows his products and will fight for you for the best possible deal on your trade in. Go to Carmax first and take their appraisal to Josef AFTER Boardwalk makes their offer for your trade. Then go up from there until you are comfortable with the trade.

The Richardson VW dealership understands what car buying should be.I cannot say enough good things about this dealership. We visited many other car dealerships and went to a lot of websites when we were looking for another car. This dealership just exemplifies GREAT customer service.Their website is very complete, user friendly and well laid out. They have lots of pictures of the vehicles and a good description of the car's features.Every call or e-mail was responded to quickly and completely.Their showroom is clean and orderly.Staff are polite and professionally dressed.When we saw the car, it was exactly as described. Mark was just a pleasure to talk with and he patiently answered all of our questions.Mike in Finance was very polite. He said he couldn't give us a lower APR, but I guess I have to believe him!Over the years, as we have travelled with my job, I have purchased cars in OH, IL, IN, VA and now we live in OK.There is no question that this is the BEST car buying experience I have ever had. So, why did we drive over 4 hours to see a Used Car? If you contact Mark Sayers at the Richardson VW dealership you will know why.

I couldn't get the car out of my mind, and a week later it way mine! I had recieved horrible customer service with Ford. But it wasn't until I experienced great service at Boardwalk that I realized just how bad it was. Unfortuantely, I can't recall my finance guy's name, but he really did a great job working with me and seemed to be in my corner. Everyone even stayed late to help us, and we didn't feel rushed at all.I am in LOVE with my car. I've only had it a couple of days and I still have to tell myself that it is actually MINE.

Before I visited Boardwalk Volkswagen in Richardson, I knew the model (CC), transmission (manual), and color (White Gold) I wanted. This proved very difficult to find locally. At the time I was looking, there were only 6 in the entire United States, and none of these were close by. Josef Puhringer understood that I was not flexible on these requirements. Josef offered to look for this vehicle, and let me know when one was located in our area. During the next three months, Josef called me every 4 weeks, asking if I was still interested, and letting me know he was still looking. Josef found the trim level and color the day the car arrived at its port of entry. I was expecting a 2011 model (it was February 2011), but the car turned out to be a 2012. I asked Josef about differences between the 2011 and 2012 models, as there was no literature available yet for the 2012. When I stopped at Boardwalk to leave a deposit. Josef had the details on all differences between the 2011 and 2012 models. I had the car within the next week. This is our sixth Volkswagen. What I enjoyed about working with Josef is that he has extensive knowledge of Volkswagens products, past and present. He is a good listener, and very thorough in all his communications. I would say Josef the best car salesperson I have ever worked with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others. The car is everything I expected it to be, and drives and looks like a car costing much more.

I sent requests for quotes to several dealers, and ended up buying from Boardwalk for three reasons:1. They were the quickest to respond to both my initial inquiry and to follow up when I had questions.2. They had the best price on the car -- the initial quote was only a few dollars off the best quote, and when I told them the difference, they quickly matched.3. Ty was very easy to work with, and the entire transaction was quick and easy from start to finish.

I did my research on the internet from VW's website. I used thier chat feature to ask a few questions. When I determined what I wanted, I exchanged a few emails and actually worked my deal without ever walking into the dealership. I called and emailed around to shop my deal and while I could match it, something about Richardson and thier almost immediate reply to email sold me on buying from them. They literally put me in the driver seat of my new Jetta TDI. In short, they made me feel like I was the only customer. I agreed to the purchase on a late Friday afternoon, asked if they could have it ready on Saturday morning. And they did just that. They got EVERYTHING right! Brett was outstanding in giving me the lesson on the car. I drove myself down and asked if they could take the car to my house. NO Problem! I got follow-up emails on Monday to insure that I was satisfied and to invite any questions. Patrick?, the finance guy answered all my questions about lease vs purchase and did not hurry me. Heck, he even made sure I understood. When it comes time to get my next VW, why go anywhere else! Thank you all for making car buying what it should always be!

Brett's energy and attitude has been evident in each of the three visits we have made to the dealership. He knew absolutely everything about Volkswagen's company, local dealership, and its cars. I went on 5 test drives and each one was treated with equal attention and focus on Brett's part. His follow up was appreciated and never too aggressive. After making the purchase of my new Tiguan, he offered to be the point person for my further appointments- license plates, tinting, 90 day follow up, etc. He also assisted me with the set up of all the technological features of the Tiguan. I would insist that anyone, interested in checking out a Volkswagen, go see Brett.

Gary and Pat did their utmost to help put me in a new car that I could afford. I actually drove home in my new 2011 Jetta with a very minimal downpayment and am paying less that I did for my 2006 Pontiac. I was so excited to show the new VW to my children who all wanted me to give them a test ride.It was an uphill battle for them because of my financial rating. I was apprehensive at first because I expected to be turned down. They used their good contacts to get me a competitive finance rate. They assured me that they would help me and treated me like a family member. They explored various finance scenarios, including a larger downpayment or a co signor. In the end I got my car with only a very minimal downpayment and without a co-signor. I am also on the road to restoring my credit rating. Not only did I leave with a new VW, I also left with my self esteem restored. Karole

Josef Puhringer was my sales associate and was great to work with. I went into the dealership initially about 6 weeks ago looking at a new 2011 Tiguan. Josef was extremely knowledgeable about the Tiguan and we went for a test drive that night. I went in the following week and he let me take the car myself for a couple of hours. I wasn't entirely ready to buy yet at that point because I still needed to sell my 2004 BMW 330i ZHP. I was initially disappointed at the trade-in value offered, but it's only reality that a private-party sell would attract a higher sale price. So after a ZHP enthusiast purchased the 330i, I was back into the VW dealership within just a few days. Josef went to bat for me in regards to the down payment. They were kind enough to allow me to split up my down payment. I put a portion down that night and they accommodated me by holding a 2nd check for a week until my tax refund came in. But what I was most impressed with is the speed in which Josef located the exact vehicle I wanted and had it brought via trailer to the Boardwalk location. I was set on a white exterior and charcoal interior; however the sandstone interior was the prevalent color I noticed everywhere. I left Josef an voice message one morning and by the same evening he had the car on his lot, detailed and ready for me. I drove it home the same night! My experience with Josef and the everyone at Boardwalk was good and I'm looking forward to having my Tiguan serviced there regularly. What service shop could beat hours until 10:00 PM? How convenient! I will probably be back to Boardwalk in about 3 years to purchase my daughter a cute little used Beetle!

Everything about my experience here has been great. I bought a new 2011 Tiguan in December of 2010 after shopping extensively. This was the best deal and the best customer service I experienced. The service advisor I had on our first service was friendly and proactive in getting everthing done right and then even had our car washed before she gave it back to us.

I went into Boardwalk Volkswagen strictly because I drove by, and I'm glad I did. Even though I eventually decided on another make and model, I have only good things to say about Ty Patterson. I never felt pressured and always felt that Ty had my best interests at heart. I felt he was always honest with me and truly wanted to help me find the right vehicle at the right price. And, if I needed anything else to admire about him, Ty served our country in the Air Force. I would recommend Ty and Boardwalk VW to anyone out there looking for a good car and an honest, thoughtful person to help them find it.

My wife and I have been Volkswagen owners for over a decade. We decided to trade in our Rabbit for a larger vehicle and the Jetta fit the bill. I contacted Boardwalk via email and they got back to me right away. The internet sales staff was great. Jeremy Heuss helped me with the trade in and got my wife a 2011 Jetta for almost the same as what we were paying on a 2007 Rabbit. We were so happy with the Jetta that we decided to trade in our 2008 Saturn Aura as well. We didn't have the equity on it like we did the Rabbit but Jeremy and Ed, the manager, worked with me and got me a solid deal on another 2011 Jetta, with convenience package! I would highly recommend Boardwalk and Jeremy specifically. Friendly staff and they didn't mind my 5 year old running about the showroom.

Let me just start by saying that I live ten minutes away from Lewisville Volkswagen and I ended up doing business with Boardwalk in Richardson. The long drive to Richardson was well worth the great treatment I received here. The deal I got here was only slightly better than the one they offered me at Lewisville. However, the difference for me was how coretous, firendly, and straightforward the VW employee was with me (his name is Ty). When we walked in Ty was very honest and open from the very beginning. He truly worked with me to get exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price. Again, I was very dissapointed with Volkwagen after I first visited Lewisville Volkswagen. I am thankful that I went to Boardwalk VW and that Ty helped me out because I was ready to forget about VW and buy from another car company. Two thumbs up!

From my Senior Service Advisor Bob King to the courtesy valet Javier - everyone associated with the service on my vehicles are courteous, knowledgeable and dependable.

We arranged to look at the car on Friday. We also wanted our Daughter to experience the whole car buying process. Mark Sayers was the perfect salesman for the job. He was courteous and answered all our questions as well as our Daughter's questions. Mark was not your archetypical salesman. He did not hover and allowed us our space without asking him to give us some alone time. I would like to express my gratitude to Mark and Jae for an enjoyable and seamless car buying experience. It was a Great all around experience for my wife and I. A most memorable day for our Daughter. A big Thanks !!! to Mark for the win/win interchange. Regards, Rex D.

I returned two months later when I was ready to purchase and I again worked with Josef and he helped me get the car I wanted at a great price!! Josef personally introduced me to Kenny Smith, the Service Manager, so I would know exactly where to go when I needed my maintenance work done on my car. He was absolutely wonderful. He showed me the service facility which I was so impressed with the waiting area and cleaniness of the entire center. I would highly recommend Boardwalk VW to everyone!

It was actually the internet program that brought me in the door, 2 months ahead of my financial plan. The ease of locating a car from my desk with fast and courteous responses from both the sales and finance departmens are why I chose this location - not just the car or geography. The discounted price offered through email coorespondance by simply selecting to request a quote, was UNbeatable. My trade in value was low but fair. My main concern was credit. However, they gave me a best and worst case scenerio - and were able to meet the best case option! I am in finance as well so I knew realistically what to expect, and they were there. I feel like in 24 hours I went from looking at the CC on line, to making one of the best economic decisions for myself and could NOT be more pleased. The simple on line application was all it took. Everyone from the internet, test drive, financing, title department, and after market department for window tint, have been a pleasure to work with. The staff, internet, price and financing, more than exceeded my expectations.

We have purchased five vehicles from the Boardwalk Auto Group. We have owned many cars and recognize that a mechanical device will fail at times and need o be repaired or replaced. I don't believe that has anything to do with the dealer rather the manufacturer. However, how the dealer takes care of you once something goes wrong speak loudly of the type of dealer you are dealing with. We have had a few issues with our cars over the years and these guys have always done their part to take care of us. That is all we expect from them which is why we keep going back there. Loyalty, it goes both ways.

My wife and I are from Little Rock and went to Dallas for the weekend. Our car, the week prior, had an engine light come on. We took it to our local dealer in North Little Rock and they claimed it was heat related. Outside temps have been over 100 for a week or so. The local dealer just said to drive it and it would be fine when the weather cooled down. On our trip to Dallas the car started shutting down on us. It would run about thirty minutes then quit. We were close to Dallas when this started happening so we limped it in. I had no appointment but just showed up Saturday morning at Boardwalk VW. I told John our problem and that we needed to go home Sunday and would love to take our car with us. I was prepared to have to leave it because we found out after the service dept ran some tests it was a fairly severe problem with the high pressure fuel pump. I was amazed when John called me Saturday around 4:00pm and said the car was ready. We went back to the dealer and picked up our car and John even took my rental to turn in for me on Monday. We drove our car back home on Sunday and it is running great. I am very pleased with the service and would like to thank John and the techs that took care of our car so quickly on Saturday.

Boardwalk was recommended by a local VW forum where they had nothing but great reviews. I spoke to Jason Villa and he was able to give me a good deal on my trade in. Rick was able to give a good deal on the CC and had the perfect car transferred from another dealership. Michael let me take the car on a test drive and showed me how everything worked and even let me take a CC home for the weekend to let my wife see it. I'd recommend this dealership to anyone looking to buy a VW. I've bought VW's from Metro and Hiley and Boardwalk was definately the easiest and friendliest to buy from.

I recently bought a fun-to-drive but reasonable-on-gas GTI from Josef Puhringer at Boardwalk Volkswagen. Josef helped create a buying experience that I appreciated very much. Basically he helped me get the car I wanted without the stress that can come with buying a new car. The price was good and the negotiation process direct and uncomplicated. Josef is easy-going and is there to help you get what you want, not what he wants to sell you.I visited Boardwalk and other Volkswagen dealers in the DFW metroplex in the run up to my purchase and found Josef to be the best of of the bunch - very straight forward and unforced. My purchase was not an overnight decision and I talked with Josef a number of times about what I was looking for. He let me set the pace, was ready to answer all questions, and was just basically very responsive.And I love the car - a lot of fun, while still being utilitarian, at a very good price.

I would highly recommend this dealer. My salesman, Gary Blakley, was wonderful to work with and was by my side through each step. He made it all so easy. I did not feel intimidated at all, being a woman trading in a car and buying another by myself at all. I've had some places tell me "go home and talk this over with your husband and then come back." That was never even implied. He treated me as I would guess he would treat his own wife. It was a great experience and I walked out with the exact car that I had been wanting. They made me an offer, I told them what I wanted, and they came back accepting it. The comment was "this lady has done her homework" as I knew the value of my trade-in car and the value of the car I was buying". They seemed to totally respect that.

I heard about this dealership through a local Volkswagen forum (www.dfdubs.org). I have had a couple volkswagens previous to the 2006 jetta I had recently purchased and I was looking to get another one. I chose Boardwalk because they were a site sponsor and helped out our website.The First Employee I had Dealt with was Jason Villa (used car sales manager) Jason is a stand up guy who is one who will help you out in any way that he can. The next employee I had Dealt with was Michael Trammell. Michael is a easy going guy who is about customer satisfaction. He helped me out with buying the jetta and making sure it was the right car for me.Lastly, Mr. Terry Granger. I had needed to get some warranty items fixed on my car and I pulled up to the service bay and was told I needed to wait for a minute. Shortly after being told "sorry about the wait," Terry went right up and introduced himself and helped me get my car in tip top shape. He also called me every step of the way with exactly what the service tech was doing to my car. Overall I think this dealership is the best VW dealership in America. I live in fort worth and make the 60 mile trek to Boardwalk to make sure that my Volkwagen is taken care of properly and within a timely manner. If you are looking for a new or used volkswagen, dont hesitate to go there and make a purchase. The staff there will take car of you.

He was thorough, professional and explained all the details of my lease. He was able to find a payment that was in my budget, and answered every question I had.The service department and courtesy shuttle service exceeds expectations of an auto dealership.

I had been to a ton of dealerships looking for an Infiniti G35 where I was being turned down or having ridiculous down payments suggested, or over the top interest rates. I finally found a great deal on an Infiniti on Auto Trader at the Boardwalk Volkswagen. I went in and explained my situation to them and I was approved, but was also pointed out that I could get an even better deal if I went with a brand new Volkswagen. My husband and I particularly liked a showroom floor CC Sport that was beautiful inside and out, and pretty much the same price range we were in for car shopping. We were willing to get a base model from the lot but Ryan Evans, and Rick Bayon assured me that they were the best in financing and options, and told me if that was the car me and my husband wanted they would work hard to make our wish possible. They kept their promises on price, rate, and even the car we wanted. The showroom floor car! I am very impressed, and grateful for all their work they did to get me in a car after two whole weeks of dissapointment from other dealerships who did not take the extra mile to show me all realistic options. I also know the financing team behind the scenes did their best and I am appreciative to them also. I value my experience with Boardwalk Volkswagen and would suggest them to friends and family who I care about getting treated exceptionally. Thank You!

Very easy to work with. I found the Routan I eventually bought for my wife from them via Cars.com. Settled on a good price and made flight arrangements to pick up the car within 24 hours. Myself and a friend were picked up at the airport in the new vehicle and brought back to the dealership to sign some paperwork. We were in and out within 90 minutes driving back to Oklahoma.The only criticism, which isn't really that big of a deal, is that the vehicle was not detailed before we arrived we could have been out of there in 45 minutes if it had been.Would definitely do business again... and will definitely buy another VW in the future.

I went to Boardwalk VW in Richardson because they had on the showroom floor, the GTI model loaded out with all the bells and whistles, precisely what I wanted. They took it right off the floor and let me drive it on the spot. Josef, being German, made it fun and interesting to work with while going through the motions of buying my 3rd German car. He's also very knowledgeable about the car brand and history too. Anthony was easy to work with on the low interest loan, good trade in price on my truck, and financial structure agreed upon along with desirable extras for safe and affordable motoring. The whole process was fast, easy, painless and smooth really, and in a very comfortable easy-going and trusting environment. They have made VW my brand, and I will be back.

The people at Board walk Volkswagen are great i can't say enough about them. They are frindley and they make you feel like you are a part of their family from the first time you walk though the door. The gentleman that helped me with the financing of my vehicle was the best i have ever worked with just great. My credit isn't what you call A1 but yet he got me with Volkswagen of America and got me a outstanding rate and payment.My saleman franco was also great. About a year ago i purchased a Volkswagen Bettle and Trace was my saleman and he also did a great job. My opinon of Board walk Volkswagern is that it is the best dealer ship in the state of Texas and i mean that. Other dealer ships can learn from this one they are up front and if they can help you they will if they can't they still try until all asspects have been tried. This say a lot for this dealer ship and it makes me want to go back to either visit or have my vehicle serviced.

I was refered to Gary Blakley and he did everything to make the process as smooth and painless as possible. There was no "hard sell" and most important he was straight up with me without any B.S.

Brandon took the time to listen to the symptoms of my problem and think of more than one solution. A visit to a previous VW dealership in the DFW Metroplex left me thinking I was possibly nuts, because the service guy basically blew me off. You see, we've had a problem with the headlights on our Passat since the day we bought it (used, from a third party, not a dealer). In the end, it turned out there was a problem with the bulbs. But for the last year, we've driven around with barely any more light that that produced by the driving lamps because the first service tech with whom we spoke didn't check anything and insisted the lights were working fine. Part of the problem was that I expressed concern about the lights not getting any brighter when I switched from daytime running lamps to headlamps. The first tech (at the other VW dealer) just told me, "that's how they work," and that they were fine. Brandon, on the other hand, listened when I described the other symptoms, such as a failure to light up street signs or the reflectors on parked vehicles. He advised that the switching mechanism might be fine but that the lens aim or bulbs may be the problem. It turned out the bulbs needed to be replaced. Thanks to Brandon, we can now drive safely at night, and we enjoy our Passat even more than ever. Thanks Brandon!!!

Bought a car, sight unseen for my wife while I was wroking in Florida. The car was such a hard find, it took a search through all of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma ... finally we found one in Phoenix, Arizona. Jason had the dealer trade worked out and truck en route before he called to tell me they found it. The price was better than I would have expected considering there was not a car to be had. We asked to have the Rosen NAV installed and after numerous bad units, he replaced it with the factory NAV even though it was more expensive at no additional cost to us. Everytime we have showed up for the Rosen issue, service provided a loaner car and the Jetta was always washed when we picked it back up. What more could you ask for ? I bought a car they could have sold for more money and had less issues with ... yet, they treated us like we bought the most expensive car on the lot every time we rolled in. I will be a repeat customer for a long time !!!

I have asked these guys to go beyond on more than one occassion, and they've performed every time. As a result, I will DEFINITELY purchase all foreseeable vehicles from Boardwalk Volkswagen of Richardson, and specifically from the dynamite team of Jason Villa and Rick Roth. Thanks, gents! You're aces.

As background, my VW (Rabbit)is 33 years old, and had been out of use for a few months (it turned out that a 33-year old fuel pump finally gave up, and thus the car would not start). Obviously, when an automobile reaches this age, the availability of repair parts and technician experience, together with the dealership's customer commitment to service an automobile of this age become really critical. Boardwalk VW, my service advisor (Terry) and the technician who worked on my car (I believe his name is Robert) were absolutely outstanding from start to finish on my service experience. They had the expertise and the commitment to repair and service my 1977 Rabbit with the same enthusiasm as one might expect with a brand new car. During the course of the repairs and maintenance, they also found a suspension component that was worn beyond normal specifications (not surprising, considering the age). Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find such replacement parts ... none were available through normal parts distributors. But Terry continued to search and he succeeded in locating the needed replacement part. Terry and my technician also attended to some details that many dealerships probably would not have attended to. For example, in comparison to newer cars, my 1977 car requires a heavier weight of motor oil (a weight that no dealer would have in bulk stock). But this special request was no problem for Terry and the technician (and they understood the reason for the heavier oil weight). When all was finished, my 1977 Rabbit runs perfectly again and I'm hoping for at least a few more good years.Also of importance, my most recent previous service experience with Boardwalk VW, in late 2007, was very similar. I believe the same technician (Robert, I think) worked on my Rabbit at that time and there were similar challenges in locating some replacement parts for a couple components that, as one might expect after 30+ years service, finally gave out.This can all be summarized by saying that the service I received was truly excellent and far beyond what I think a customer would receive in a similar situation with most auto dealerships. I've been a Boardwalk customer for many years and this is the way they've always worked with me.

I have bought 2 vehicles at Boardwalk, primarily because I like the people and the service I get. Both vehicles were for my teenagers, so I needed quality and safety...vehicles that I don't have to worry about them driving around in day to day.In both cases they have gone above and beyond to work with me, whether it was on my trade-in, or getting the financial pieces lined up.I would (and have) recommended this dealership to all my friends and family. Something I have not done before.

I have owned 3 VWs over the years. The service department is wonderful. They have customer friendly extended hours, great prices and do quality work (which they stand behind). On Halloween night 2007 my 1998 Passat broke down, I had it towed to Boardwalk in Richardson and they had someone drive me the 15 miles, in rush hour traffic, so that I could make it home in time to take my kids out to trick or treat. In August of 2009, we purchased a new CC from Boardwalk they gave us a excellent price for our trade in as well as a great price on the new CC. The transaction was quick, professional and very satisfying.

I had visited Gary trying to work a trade in for my Lexus lease a couple of months ago that was coming due. I was interested in a vehicle where I could get good size, versatility, increased gas mileage, and reduce my payment. I got the initial run around between the sales person and the finance manager. I was able to get them to move over 100 dollars/month off their initial offering, but could not strike a deal that was good. They offered over 2000 less on my trade in vs. every other dealership that I visited.Returned to the dealership yesterday, with known equity in my lease vehicle. Gary was working with a potential customer in his office, who was very upset and was getting the same financial run around that I had my last experience at the dealer. This customer walked away, and I took the opportunity to inform Gary that I was here to crunch more numbers. Gary said he would get back to me while he was helping finish up other customers. He came by several times, cordial, asked what my status was with my lease, and after sharing my known information about my lease status, he never would let me re-engage him in the sales process. I truly felt blown off after waiting an hour and a half, to see him soliciting new prospects on the lot. An educated consumer is not the prospect they are looking for. I drove down the road to Rusty Wallis and had one of the most pleasurable buying experiences for a new vehicle that I have ever had. Boardwalk Volkswagen blew an opportunity to close a deal. If you want to see the salesman shuffle, go and sit at Boardwalk Volkswagen and watch the number of frustrated and ticked off customers and prospects. Don't be surprised to wait a couple of minutes while the receptionist finishes up their current texting and internet surfing.Absolutely horrible experience over both visits.

I'm a repeat customer w/VW. I leased my 2nd VW with Boardwalk VW in Feb 09. Part of the terms of the deal was that Boardwalk would pay the last pymt on my 1st leased vehicle and the 1st pymt of my new lease. I worked with Darren Davis on this deal. 6 mths later, I received an invoice from VW Credit that my account was overdue for the last pymt amount - $376. I immediately called VW Credit. The rep did not know why it took 6mths for the notice to come thru and she immediately contacted Darren Davis at Boardwalk to find out what was going on. Darren Davis promised Mary (the VW Credit Rep) that Boardwalk would make the payment. On Nov 1st I received another notice from VW Credit that my account still had not been settled. I contacted VW Credit and found that Mary had been following up on my account. She talked to Darren several times and Darren promised the pymt will be on the way. This is all notated on my VW credit account. I then called the dealership and talked to Derrick Sumptner because Darren was out of the office. I had to call him three times and each time he did NOT remember talking to me. He promised to have Darren contact me. He never did. Three days later, I went to the dealership. Both Darren and Derrick refused to settle the issue today. I have been put on hold until Monday. I have no confidence they will follow thru on Monday. In the meantime my fiance was going to buy a car thru Boardwalk. As of right now, he has Rusty Wallace in Mesquite, TX purchasing a VW.

I recently bought an 09 routan from Boardwalk VW. I went in with the intentions of buying a mildly used silver 09 routan that was almost fully loaded and ended up with a brand new blue 09 routan because the silver one was sold. I absolutely love my routan. the purchase process went very smoothly. when I bought my previous car in 2006, we weren't impressed with the process. Boardwalk threw in the quantim coat and gap coverage at no cost to us. I live in Norfolk, VA with my husband who is in the NAvY and we told the dealership we needed to get our plates before a set date and they even got the plates before the date we asked for. I would definitely recommend Boardwalk VW to anyone in the DFW area.

I bought my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta from Boardwalk VW and also bought Tires for Life from Boardwalk VW at a cost of $900.00. The Tires for Life program was to provide new tires every 30,000 miles and rotation and balancing every 5,000 miles. At 60,000 miles I visited the dealer to have new tires put on my car and they REFUSED to do so saying the insurance company who insured the Tires for Life program was bankrupt. I PAID BOARDWALK VOLKSWAGEN for Tires of Life when I purchased the new car from Boardwalk. BOARDWALK VOLKSWAGEN TOOK MY MONEY AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE WHAT I PAID FOR. Dishonest company. I discussed this with the GENERAL MANAGER, SHANE DOVE AND ALL HE OFFERED WAS TIRES AT A DISCOUNT!I also noticed my car was using oil. ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WAS DONE BY BOARDWALK VW. They found an oil pan leak AFTER I reported the oil usage. This had to have been obvious when prior oil changes were done. VERY BAD SERVICE. This could have resulted in an expensive repair or required a new engine!I DO NOT RECOMMEND BOARDWALK VOLKSWAGEN TO ANY PROSPECTIVE BUYER!

Do NOT buy a car from Boardwalk VW and do NOT service your VW at this location. My husband bought his 2nd VW from this location, because they could not fix his first car. Upon purchasing our new car, the agent wrote the contract wrong, with a higher sales price. He rushed us through and did not explain anything. We returned a few days later to get a new contract drawn. The agent was less than happy to help us. A few months after the purchase, the sunroof got stuck opened. We took it in and they "fixed" it. A month later, the radio went out. VW assured us that we would get a new radio in a few days. We called and called, but nobody could give us status on the radio. Two weeks later, we went to VW and was told that the radio sat in their office for a week and had to return it to the manufacturer because WE did not call to check status. A week after that, the sunroof glass busted while driving down the highway. Glass shattered all over the car. We took the car in and they said it was not covered under our warranty, because they could not prove that we did not break it ourselves. They still could not give us status on the radio. We had to call our insurance company to cover the sunroof. At first, they told us that it was just the glass needing to be replaced...but ended up being the whole sunroof needing to be replaced ($1,800). The service managers push blame on other service managers and we are very unhappy. WE WILL NEVER RETURN.

By far the most disgusting car dealer experience I have ever encountered. I have the Millenium tire pack, the service dept. tried to tell me they no longer worked with millenium and that I would have to pay $350.00 for a tire! I told the service dept. no thanks and they told me they would give me a 15% discount, I left and when I made it home I discovered they had removed the tire from the rim (wonder why they would do that). So I had to drive back (30 miles) and make them put the tire back on the rim.

Came to this dealership to trade in my current car for a Jetta. They didn't show me cars on the lot, they immedietly wanted to pull my credit to see what I would "qualify" for. We qualified for a very expensive car but would NOT work with us on the trade in value. Kelly Blue book was listing it in fair condition as 12,000 -- they only wanted to give us 9,000 and the car was in EXCELLENT condition and fully loaded. Needless to say, we left without a sale & found another dealer that was able to spend time with us. We purchased a $30,000 VW from another dealer. I was NOT surprised to see that the average dealer rating on this site was so low.

Boardwalk VW Failed!A Story of Customer Service Gone BadI had a VW Passat that the lease was ending on November 29, 2008. My wife and I take it back on November 28, 2008 to Boardwalk VW in Richardson, Tx because of our daughters 2 year birthday party on the 29th (didnt want to forget to return the car).We take it in with the vehicle inspection that we had done on November 5, 2008. We passed the inspection with flying colors. I talk to a guy named Fernando. He had me sign several papers. I asked him about 4 times if I owed anymore money for this car. He told me each time No.Read the rest here: http://www.blog.mde3.com/2009/01/boardwalk-vw-lost-poor-customer-service/

My experience with this dealership is full of ups and downs. It started with a phone call telling me that they get a few thousand over window on their cars, not something I wanted to hear but after explaining that I wasn't interested in dealing with a dealer that over priced their cars, they changed their tune.When I finally got an idea of exactly what I wanted they never responded to my emails...I'll never know if they could have given me a better price or not.

I find their service department incompetent. I've brought my Jetta to them multiple times. They have misdiagnosed my car regularly. One time they charged me for service that didn't resolve the problem. The refund for this service took me almost 6 months to receive. I called regularly and was always told that it was in the mail or if I wasn't able to speak to the service man, that I would get a call back. I never did. Another time I was told that replacing the serpentine belt would resolve an AC issue. I replaced it on the subsequent visit and it didn't fix the problem. I have since gone to another mechanic and found that the problem was the AC compressor.

I bought my daughter a Jetta here and was blown away. No back and forth price haggling, they even delivered a car with more options than I wanted and didn't ask for a price increase. Everyone was very professional. They even treat women (my daughter) extremely well and fairly in the service department. The dealer may not look like Lexus quality service, but they seem to deliver it.
