Dont buy a car from VW of Alamo Heights
by Eric C on 08/19/2024If I could give VW of Alamo Heights zero stars, I would. I bought my brand new 2024 Taos from here in May. While traveling to Corpus Christi in July it broke down, and the entire experience has been a nightmare from start to (still waiting… for) finish. My car, with less than 3,000 miles on it, was towed to the VW of Corpus Christi. It’s now been 5 weeks, and I still have no idea when it will be repaired. Jose, the service advisor, has been unable to give me an ETA. To make matters worse, they won't provide a rental car, claiming they don't have any available. So, good luck if you ever need one from this dealership. The level of customer service I've experienced has been shocking. I initially gave them a great review because the experience of selling me the car was great. If you need help after that point, they are zero help. On Monday July 29th 5 days after being towed, I met with Adnaan "Andy" Rowshan and Cameron Harris, the salespeople I dealt with at Alamo Heights, told me to call VW directly because the car isn’t at their dealership. They refused to provide a loaner car, stating that my car was towed to the closest dealership where it broke down. Chris Cameron, their manager, was too busy to help me, and even after leaving my number for Lee Tinoco, the GM, weeks ago I didn’t hear back. This is completely unacceptable for a brand-new car, and I expected much better service. The lack of communication, the refusal to offer a rental car, and the general disregard for their customers is appalling. I deeply regret purchasing from VW of Alamo Heights, and I strongly advise others to take their business elsewhere.Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I sincerely apologize for the issues you've faced with your 2024 Taos and the service you’ve received. This experience is not reflective of the standard we strive to maintain. I would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and work towards a resolution. Please contact me directly so we can discuss how we can make this right for you. I look forward to speaking with you. Lee Tinoco General Manager ltinoco@vwofalamoheights.com

by Courtney on 05/03/2024Overall it was a good experience and my service advisor helped me with a discount.

I also have to go back bc they did not have a part for… my car.Thank you for your feedback, please know that we are looking into your concerns and will reply back to you soon.

Make sure you get a second opinion and your insurance verifies the work
by Reynaldo Valldejuli on 04/19/2024I really enjoy the car but not the service and filed a formal complaint for negligence of service and ethics violation. I had an MPI with an oil change had my brakes checked specifically due to the accident I had concerns. I asked to… receive my report and it stated brakes were great but did not see visually with a video. They also did collaboration on my car due to an accident deer collision. I was out of my car since December body shop had my vehicle and VW-Alamo Heights had my car in February my car was there for about a week. When I received my car later it was vibrating over mph. I called insurance and VW explained they told me to bring it in made arrangements to reopen claim and request rental,etc. I dropped it off Wednesday to David, we had spoken prior to drop off, explained that I reopened the claim to please call USAA because we were on a time clock due to rental being involved I had 4 days to diagnose the vehicle to make sure it was part of the claim. I called once a day with no updates that it was next in line. Thursday\ Friday passed I sent some texts however nothing. I called Friday afternoon, I was told possibly Saturday. No call and no return text Saturday. Monday I called David then explained he was waiting on USAA appraiser to come out. I asked for the number he was calling and in verbatim “call the 1800 number and dial extension 1146” and I did. If you do not know USAA all extension at 6 digits for the claims adjusters. Appraiser and supplements team had no idea or claims adjuster did reserach. Tuesday We got on a 3 way call with David and I was placed on mute to which he laughed and said he had no idea what number he gave me and stated there was no appraiser and he didn’t reach out to USAA once and thought it was funny. I called VW myself after the conversation and spoke with the service manager Ashley she said now all the sudden my vehicle is being diagnosed and a lot of codes were coming but couldn’t explain them because she herself has a hard time understanding the codes. A couple of hours later I received a random MPI video stating that it’s my front brakes and rotors needing to be replaced. No one showed my rotors or brakes. I called for an explanation they said my brakes measured great but my rotors may be warped. I asked how was this missed in less than a month that it would be warped the lady on the phone said she didn’t know but would have someone call me back to explain. 2 hours later the service manager called back and I explained my frustration why would it take so long to diagnose almost 6 days and 5 business days. She explained due to heat under the vehicle which is correct however the avg car would be warped around 60K or early as 20K. Which is common. I did not drive in extreme heated conditions in less than a month. I also only drive in city limits twice a day back and forth from home to work. My car was at 50 which would be around the avg of possible warping but should have been caught at initial inspection if it was warped so I could have taken care of it then while it was in the shop getting the insurance items since I did an oil change, tire rotation, wheel alignment and brake check. Due to the extreme shaking over 50 mph I rarely drove due to fear and safety only when driving necessary when I got the car back while insurance was trying to figure out for a few weeks what they could due to reopen the claim. I expressed my concerns and fears numerous time of safety. So to summarize if I was told during initial it was not part of the accident I would have taken it immediately I did not have my car since December so definitely different circumstances back then. However, now here we are no accountability, constant lies and run around, complete negligence. The fact that the diagnosis took so long for something an MPI could have done was a complete waste of time and energy. This could have been avoided. David lying over the number and Ashley lying over bs codes.Thank you for your feedback, please know that we are looking into your concerns and will reply back to you soon.

Oil change and maintenance
by Jennifer M on 04/04/2024I came in for an oil change and maintenance inspection. I was missed quoted. I was also told I had a certain amount of filters that were incorrect. I was also told what was going to be done that was incorrect when I told him what I had… already done they didn’t listen to me. So my pollen filter “cabin filter” was changed again! When I finally called, they said my vehicle was ready because no one called me! When I got there, they told me what was done, and it was not what was quoted. Overall experience was not very well. I paid for another filter which already had be replaced last oil change. They mistakenly quotes me maintenance that was due at 80,000 miles.Thank you for your feedback, please know that we are looking into your concerns and will reply back to you soon.
