  • my best vw dealership experience

    5 out of 5 starsby AnastasiaT on 12/19/2014

    This is my 4th VW lease and as much as I love the cars I can't stand dealing with the dealers. This was my smoothest most positive experience by far and I loved these guys and the dealer (Don Dolor). I tried to do everything via email and Don was the only dealer that would answer my questions via email and who gave me a straightforward quote after taxes and fees. He also broke it down when I asked him to (everyone else was asking me to stop by or call.) During the time I thought about it, every other dealer bugged me with emails and calls but these guys were quiet. In person Don was very straightforward, never pressured me to decide, explained everything thoroughly, was very attentive and stayed true to the offer he gave me. I loved the whole experience and the car I got (2015 Tiguan S) is the most amazing.
  • Great experience

    5 out of 5 starsby jmac29 on 12/08/2014

    Had a great experience at VW Downtown when I decided to lease my new Passat. Don Dolor was very helpful and answered all of my questions. I was very happy with the entire process and am really enjoying my new car.
  • VW DTLA Great team

    5 out of 5 starsby elsae on 11/30/2014

    My lease on my 2012 was coming to an end. Don Dolor called me we set an appointment. I have dealt with Don in the past and even referred my sis to him. I appreciate Don's professionalism and candor. I can talk to him with ease. I never feel pressured with Don. I decided to purchase my Passat. Don had my car detailed and filled up the gas tank. He explained the entire process. Don is true to his words. Don is exceptional at what he does.
  • Ask for Don!

    5 out of 5 starsby eldeetee on 11/12/2014

    Don Dolor in sales is fantastic- this is the second time I have come back to him to lease a new Jetta, and I also referred a friend who purchased a new Passat from him. Don puts you at ease right away and bends over backwards to help you get the best deal. I used to be so nervous at the thought of having to deal with a car sales person, but after dealing with Don, I actually look forward to my lease ending! VW is lucky to have Don.
  • Don Dolor- AMAZING

    5 out of 5 starsby wendyn2 on 10/29/2014

    Don was recommended to me by a friend who had used him last year. I have to say, Don is fantastic. No heavy pressure, he let's you make your own decisions and gives you multiple options when looking for the price plan that works for you. From test drives to paperwork, he was fast and efficient and the overall process was painless. And ladies, you know how we are treated at dealerships, you have no worries with Don, he is fair and treats everyone equally. I'll be referring him to everyone I know who wants a VW
  • Amazing Service

    5 out of 5 starsby JKADISH on 10/27/2014

    I had been looking for a TDI wagon for a while and looking at the different models and dealerships. Don (Ferdinand) Dolor was amazing. He gave me no pressure and was very upfront in pricing and gave me a fantastic deal. He really helped me out with everything i needed from the car as well as just being very friendly. I will definitely be coming back to Don and recommending my friends and family to him as well.
  • Re-Leasing

    5 out of 5 starsby mjsix on 10/20/2014

    Don Dolor helped us with the returning of our old Jetta, and got us into a new 2014 Jetta. He was very informative regarding Volkswagen policies, inventory, and knowledge of the different models. We ended up choosing the car he recommended for us.
  • Don Dolor is FANTASTIC!

    5 out of 5 starsby cfaraggi on 10/19/2014

    From the moment Don took care of us, everything was great. His professionalism and positive attitude made us feel very comfortable. He was able to accommodate us on our all needs and budget limitations. We highly recommend him to all Volkswagen buyers!
  • Don Dolor - excellent service and support

    5 out of 5 starsby zolazola on 10/12/2014

    Just moved back to LA from Miami. Don Dolor assisted me in the all paperwork process required for a Car Lease since when I was still in Florida. Once we met everything was already done, my information in order, my car options laid out and even my pre-approval already obtained. It took a total of two meetings to drive away with my new car from Volkswagen DTLA. Every question, option, doubt, and even curiosity I had was promptly answered by Don, via email and text message. I am really impressed with the level of quality of Don performance and his vaste professional knowledge in the field, from the comparison between car models to the laying out all feasible leasing options, always with a clear attention to my personal needs and financials. He never tried, as many car dealers do, to push me towards a direction I was not completely comfortable with. He took time to double check all features with me and my wife and made sure we both love our new car, he even made sure our both phones are sync with the car Blue Tooth technology. I could not be more pleased with Don and the overall Volkswagen DTLA service. I would greatly recommend to any friend looking for a new car!!! Way to go Don, we will definitely keep in touch and it will be a great pleasure to come visit you on our next scheduled appointment. Thank you Don, for everything!
  • Thank You Don!!

    5 out of 5 starsby yippee on 09/27/2014

    Leasing for the first time, I would like to say that Don D. was excellent in assisting and answering all my questions throughout the process. Understanding my busy schedule and quick timeline to pick the right car for my lifestyle, he also made the paperwork very easy and seamless. I am enjoying the Tiguan and thank you Don for your enthusiasm, knowledge and professionalism!
  • Dennis R. is Awesome

    5 out of 5 starsby kaloygti168 on 09/17/2014

    Went it for a battery problem and solved it. Even found out other problems with the car even before it got worse. Discussed everything and was very accommodating. Made sure I had a loaner car to drive around while taking care of my baby. I will definitely want to have my car handled by Dennis always. I had so many questions and he answered all of it without rush. Treated me like a royalty. I love his professionalism. Look for this Dennis R. if your car needs servicing. Total customer satisfaction.
  • Look for The Don!

    5 out of 5 starsby kaloyGTI168 on 09/17/2014

    Don D. has been my guy since 2009. He got me into a GTI after getting a Jetta. throw away all your negativity with car salesmen. This guy will hook you up with what you want and what you need. Comfortable and very approachable. Don't be shy to ask about anything under the sun. Gave me discounts and almost anything I asked for. I already endorsed him to 2 other friends and both we're very happy. Even when I'm there for service, look for him and he still would give a good word for you even if it's not his department. That's continuing service that I was expecting. following thru with promises of carefree ownership. Look for him in this dealership. He'll make sure you're well taken care of!

  • Love this dealership!

    5 out of 5 starsby LettySchilf on 08/15/2014

    First off I have to say that this has been the best car shopping/buying experience I've ever had! My sister bought her car here a few years back and when I was in the market to buy a new car she told me"Go see Don D., he's the best!". I originally called Don a couple years ago told him what I wanted, test drove the car then ended up not buying. I did this once again at the end of last year then finally came to see him just this month and walked out with a differnet car than I origianaly wanted. I had looked at 3 different cars!! I was not sure which car to choose but knew I loved VW cars. All along Don was very patient and talked with me many times about the cars and pricing and answered all my questions. I felt no pressure ever to have to buy a car right there and then like at other dealerships... every other car dealership I've ever gone to I always dreaded walking in - seeing all the salesmen eyeball you like hawk, not here at Volkswagen of Downtown L.A.! Great customer service, friendly, honest and efficient. I will be letting anyone I know who is in the market of buying a VW to "Go see Don, he is the best!" Thank you VW of Downtown L.A and Don for making this an enjoyable, pain free process!
  • Very satisfied!

    5 out of 5 starsby MargieF12 on 07/29/2014

    I would like to give 5 stars to Volkswagen Downtown LA especially to Don who gave us a very good experience. He is very professional, knowledgeable of what he's offering us and most of all I didn't have a hard time haggling for the best deal!
  • Thrilled with the Service!

    5 out of 5 starsby MerriMM on 07/27/2014

    I was looking for a VW Golf and there were very few in Los Angeles. When I submitted my web inquiry, I was contacted almost immediately. I was given first-rate service throughout the entire process from the time I looked online through after my purchase. My salesperson, Don D. made sure I was very well taken care of. The car was not fully ready when I took it off the lot so I brought it back for the additional services on which Don and I had agreed. He set me up with a loaner car and met me with it at the exact time for which our appointment was scheduled. He worked with my schedule and went above and beyond to not only do the things we'd agreed upon when I purchased the car but more! He is a top-notch customer service provider and he made the whole process of buying my car, not only seamless but enjoyable too. His calm demeanor and excellent attention to detail are unmatched and very greatly valued and appreciated. Thank you, Don!!!!
  • Don D. is the Golden Boy of VW DTLA

    5 out of 5 starsby davidren on 07/23/2014

    I recently purchased a new 2014 VW Passat last month from Don and with this being my 4th purchase from him, I am once again exceptionally satisfied. He is very well educated with all of the vehicles, easily answering every question that my family and I had with ease and patience. Don provides you plenty of space to breath and time to think, making the entire experience very lax, as opposed to your stereotypical car dealer. He gave us the key to every car that we wanted to test out in the lot and was as accomodating with every succeeding vehicle as the previous. Talking about money with him is what makes me and family continually keep coming back to VW DTLA, especially to Don. He breaks down the numbers with you without any complications and ensures to always get you the lowest price. I leased a 2014 VW SE TSI w/ sunroof for 36 months and w/ $0 down, my monthly payments accounted to $330 with my first payment waived. Overall, Don treats his customers with respect and warmth, and purchasing a vehicle from him will be a great experience.
  • 2014 Passat Purchase

    5 out of 5 starsby kwakdnl on 07/15/2014

    Don D. of Downtown VW helped me with my purchase for the Passat 2014. I had originally visited a different dealer within the dealership, who never returned the call he promised. Thus, I was looking for quotes in different dealerships. Within this time, Don D. was very quick and efficient with his communication and practically seized a sales opportunity that would have otherwise disappeared.
  • Great Job Garrett!!!

    I went to the Black Friday sale at Downtown LA Volkswagen and had the best experience ever buying a car. Garrett, the Fleet Sales Manager did an incredible job showing the Passat and giving me options in terms of a lease or purchase. Straight-shooter and destroyed the stereotype of the pushy car salesman. Funny and personable, he actually got me the car I wanted and saved me MORE money than I requested. Thanks Garrett and DTLA!!!

    So I came here to look at my options. Immediately I met Don. We were keeping in contact via email, but he made my experience pretty awesome here. We picked out the car I wanted and he beat the cost of all other dealerships I found. After I met Raz and he made sure I had everything I needed! Both guys are amazing sales men. Thank you Both!!!!
