Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many people expressed significant dissatisfaction with the customer service, describing it as unhelpful, unresponsive, and difficult to engage with, often leading to unresolved issues. Consumers frequently encountered problems with the quality of their vehicles, citing numerous defects and premature wear, even on new cars. This led to high repair costs and a general feeling of being let down by the product. Some people were dissatisfied with the overall service experience, including long waiting times for repairs and a perceived lack of accountability from the company. However, a few other people also felt that some Volkswagen models, particularly older ones or specific new petrol cars, offered good quality, reliability, and enjoyable driving experiences, with some even praising the customer service at certain dealerships.

Brand of decent cars

Considering they were originally funded by Hitler, VW offer some decent cars at decent prices. Assistance isn't the best, but german built things are meant to last.

Appalling MOT and service at VW West London

I bought a new VW from Chiswick in 2015. Service history to date with VW. In July 2020 the car had a major service and MOT and both passed . 2 weeks later had tyre pressures checked at local garage prior to a very long journey, 3 tyres not roadworthy -cord showing and very badly cracked. No response from the dealership until I wrote to CEO. They do not accept liability and say it is up to the individual assessor. I have a video of cracking to tyres which is quite significant. Quality of the work, the attitude of after service staff and servicing very poor, will not go back. I have no confidence in the dealership.

Still great after 10 years

My VW just turned 10 years and I am still totally satisfied with it! Despite the gear box (auto dsg 7) broke 2 times, the after-sales service took care of it (1st time I didn't pay, even if the warranty was already expired!)

The car is overseas where I live half time and I deal with VW Germany directly and every time I had fast response and assistance. And my car is still in very good shape after 10 years, high quality materials. I truly recommend VW cars - Danke!

I am now driving my third VW

I am now driving my third VW. The CC was a great car and I miss owning it, but now drive the discontinued Alltrack. So happy I bought it when I did. At 10,000 miles now, no problems and no complaints. What a great driving wagon.

Dishonest dealers and dody quality... AVOID

Trying to complain about the way I have been treated at a dealer and cannot do this without taking my V5 and two forms of ID to the dealership to confirm I own the car! What a joke

The VW brand is not what it was - I am sick of the way they treat people and their cars are not the quality they once were..
