Purchase of a 2014 Touareg and 2017 Alltrack
by RobbieD17 on 05/01/2017My sales and delivery experience with Bob Derby of Lindsay Volkswagen has been superb. In March, Lindsay offered a VW certified, 2014 Touareg for sale. Bob met my wife and me at the agreed time and explained all the things VW had done to… recondition the car. After a test drive, we began the sales process. Having obtained financing in advance, I had something to compare to the loans the dealership could offer. The price and the financing I received were fair and competitive. When we retrieved the Touareg the following day, Bob was there to personally assure we were satisfied with our purchase and that all our questions about the vehicle had been answered. Then, he kept in touch with us after the sale. We were so impressed with Bob’s approach that we returned to Lindsay a few weeks later to purchase a new 2017 VW Golf Alltrack for my wife. Once again, Bob did his utmost to make the buying experience a pleasant one. My wife greatly appreciated the time he took to teach her how to operate all the new technology the Alltrack offers. Should you be in the market for a Volkswagen, I whole-heartedly recommend you contact Bob Derby.Good Experience Purchasing CPO Jetta
by timmfink on 05/01/2017We are very grateful to Bob Derby of Lindsay VW for a stress-free experience with purchasing a certified pre-owned Jetta SE in April 2017. We needed to surrender our beloved Golf TDI and came in to figure out some possible options. Bob… helped us to explore, navigate, and test drive a wide selection lot of vehicles. He was very helpful, easy going, professional, practical, and also patient in answering our numerous questions. Bob was instrumental in making our Jetta purchase low-drama and even fun! We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and couldn't recommend him higher!Great experience buying a new car
by Dennisx on 04/22/2017I had a great experience buying a new car with Bob Derby. I knew exactly what I wanted so didn't want to be pushed into buying something more expensive. Fortunately, he listened to what I wanted and didn't try to sell me a model with more… options. Overall I I was pleasantly surprised with a low stress experienceHolding the customer hostage
by SteveAndrew on 04/11/2017I ordered a specific car in November from another dealership. In March, when the car was arriving, Lindsay traded for it because they saw my customer information attached to the car and figured it was an easy sale. When the original dealer… tried to get the car back for me, Lindsay lied to them and to VW of America by saying they had a buyer lined up (again, because my name and contact info was attached to the order). Once the car arrived at Lindsay, they refused to honor the price I negotiated with the original dealer. They planned to charge me thousands more than the negotiated price, because they knew that they had the one car I wanted. If Lindsay does not want to honor the price quote, they should trade the car back to the original dealership and let them sell the car for the negotiated price. That would be in the best interest of a loyal VW customer. Instead, the car I ordered and waited four months for is held hostage on their lot. They refuse to trade the car back to the original owner. They refuse to honor the negotiated price. And there is no other buyer lined up because the car is still advertised on their website. You cannot trust anything coming out of Lindsay VW.Very disappointed at the distortion of truth. I am compelled to provide an accurate account: Another dealer contacted Lindsay about trading inventory for one of our cars. Lindsay agreed and selected a car back from said dealer. Lindsay would not have had visibility to this car if it were marked as a sold order (in addition the other dealer would not have offered it to Lindsay if it was marked as a sold order). Dealers have absolutely no way of knowing anything about another dealers customers or orders; there is no way Lindsay could have seen the “customer information attached” to any car (customers would not appreciate their personal information being shared). Lindsay proceeded to deliver this car to one of our happy customers. We are very sorry that the other dealer mishandled this customer’s order. Please feel free to call or email me if you need anything.

Great service and buying experience
by thatisall55 on 03/31/2017I was quite pleased with the experience buying a new car at Lindsay Volkswagen. Bob Derby was the primary salesperson, and he was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, friendly, super responsive. He went out of his way repeatedly to make sure… that I got the exact car I wanted, at a good price, and when I needed it. He worked with me to get as much of the paperwork done ahead of time as possible so that I didn't have to spend four hours there going through the purchase process. I can't recommend him highly enough. The rest of the team there was also top notch and very friendly and professional. If you are looking for a new Volkswagen, go to Lindsay in Dulles. You won't regret it.A Good Time At Lindsay's VW
by JoshuaR on 03/18/2017I have been looking to get a new vehicle for some time now because I have been getting tired of riding around in by beaters. I owned a 2005 VW Jetta with about 200,000 miles and a 1996 GMC Sonoma with 170,000 before coming here and I'm very… happy that I did. When I showed up to the dealership I was greeted by Bob Derby and we ended up taking a test drive in a 2014 VW Jetta SE and I was very happy with it, but I wanted to consider all of my options. I took the piece of paper that he gave me with the price along with the features that the car had and went to the Mini Cooper, Honda, and the Nissan dealership and they had nothing that had the same or comparable features for the same price without having to buy a car that had 30,000-40,000 more miles on it along with not having a certified warranty. After getting my loan approved they had asked if they could try to beat it. My loan was going to be 5% APR which I was happy with, but they got me down to 2.49%. Along with getting me a better loan I showed up late in the day so they stayed past closing time with me so I would not have to come back another day. Overall I'd say that I had a very good experience and when the time comes to get another vehicle I'd be happy to come back to Lindsay's VW. Big thanks to Bob Derby and Larry Schiro.New Car
by TinaBina7 on 01/22/2017My very first New Car. I got a 2017 VW Jetta and it was the best experience of my life. Thanks To Bob who was so helpful and went above and beyond to help me and make sure i was happy. The friendliness of the dealer5was awesome everyone was… so nice amd helpful. I will recommend this dealership to all of my family and friends.Bait and switch
by P38Light on 12/28/2016Lindsay VW salesman Mr Aboud, pulled a classic "bait-and-switch" on us after we had driven 3 hours for their "great" deal. Pricing info was murky at best ... intended to confuse. Avoid this place.P38Light, please forgive my delay in responding. I am sorry to hear about your experience with Mr. Abboud. He is no longer an employee of ours. Our goal is to break the stereotypical experience of shopping or servicing a vehicle and it appears we failed with your visit. Please call or email me if I can help you with anything. Jerry Holloway, General Manager, jholloway@lindsayvw.com, 703.880.8000
Spend some time with Bob Derby...
by Bob_I_am on 12/24/2016Bob Derby is a person who would become a true friend. His patience was impeccable which made the buying experience comfortable without pressure. I bought a 2017 VW Golf R in Lapiz Blue. I did all my homework, read all the articles, and… watched all the videos I could find. But please don't stop there, you also need to read reviews on sales representatives. Bob Derby's reviews are stellar. If you are looking for a VW, give him a call at Lyndsay VW of Dulles in Sterling, VA. You won't regret it.Bob Derby best experience with car salesman ever
by ralpert123 on 09/05/2016Just bought a VW Tiguan from Lindsay Volkswagon. I had initially had settled on The VW CC. However after test driving the CC and all ready to sign the paperwork, I noticed the VW Tiguan. I asked Bob Derby are VW sales rep if he mind me… test driving that vehicle. Me and my girlfriend decided we wanted the Tiguan over the CC. Both are vehicles were great. What I like the most about buying my vehicle was Bob Derby the sales rep. Not pushy at all very relaxed and honest about certain things on both vehicles. He stayed well after closing to close our deal. We really enjoyed getting to know Bob Derby, Bob Derby was recommended to us from my ex wife of all people. Props to the Ex Wife for her recommendation of Bob Derby.Great car buying experience
by shawn15376 on 08/26/2016I purchased a new gti from Simon chu at lindsay, this was by far the best car buying experience I ever had! Very friendly sales staff, no high pressure sales tactics. Truly a great experience and unbeatable prices.Seek Out Bob Derby at Lindsay
by VW72016 on 08/08/2016What an extremely pleasant experience!!!! My wife and I set out to purchase our daughter her first car and until we reached Bob and the team at Lindsay it was a horrible experience. From the minute we were greeted by Bob we immediately felt… at ease. He listened to our needs and there were no games...a trust was built. There was total transparency...straight forward pricing with no last minute surprises. The entire process was quick and painless - the dealership made the process easy. We were treated like true VIP customers from Bob, dealership management to financing. They all went above and beyond!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Great Sales Experience
by Mike_vw on 07/30/2016I purchased a 2016 Jetta 1.8T Sport 5 speed from Lindsay VW in Sterling, Va. This was a great experience and the best price I've found after checking with 5 other dealers. My wife purchased a Tiguan from them the week before and we made… the 3 hr road trip back down to buy my Jetta. Worth the time and the prices they have listed straight on their website are better than another VW dealer you'll find. The customer service is the best I've experienced at a dealership, new or used. The prices are straight forward and they do not negotiate off the posted price "Which is on their website", so going in to try to get the price reduced isn't going to happen. This process is fair and doesn't waste your time haggling or being jerked around. I've seen a recent Negative comment about this dealership saying they were "quoted" a lower price elsewhere. Of course they never said the other dealerships name or their price or the model vehicle they were talking about....blah blah, most likely a bogus review trying to slander this dealership by another VW dealer who will not drop their prices to compete with Lindsay Volkswagen. Go to this dealerships website and there you will see the price, pretty simple. You won't be jerked around with a "E-Price" that turns into a email change of unanswered questions just trying to get you to drive into a dealership to get the actual price... waste of time having to physical drive to a dealer just for a price. Go to their website and you will see the price and realize they have the best prices and they are a wholesaler who deals with a much higher volume than any-other dealer I've seen. I will be buying my next Volkswagen from them without a doubt.Just as easy as possible
by Shakib1984 on 07/12/2016At Lindsay VW, I met Joshua, a very easy going guy and senior Seller who explained the process from the start to finish with no pressure and BS. We received the offer after a few minutes and were agreed after little talk. We sat down and… did the paperwork, and walked away with a nice Car and a happy smile. all in about 2 Hours. Without a doubt I would do business with Joshua and Lindsay VW again. Do yourself a favor and skip CarMax and any other brands and go straight to these guys... Thank you allBob Derby
by CaitlinLane on 07/08/2016Easiest Sales purchase ever. Following the purchase of the vehicle, Bob Derby, drove over an hour to pick up my car to have a minor repair done, then returned the next day. Awesome service.Outstanding customer service, welcoming environment
by mlanier16 on 06/30/2016Our family has worked with Lindsay VW for years, and we've never been disappointed. We just bought our second pre-owned VW from Simon, since we had such a great buying experience with the first one. Simon is extremely helpful and… knowledgeable, and he never tries to sell us something we don't need. As a woman I've had trouble dealing with salespeople at other car dealers in the past, but Simon (and the rest of the VW staff) was genuinely interested in what I had to say. He listened to all my concerns and found the perfect car for me. He was very accommodating, and never rushed me in making my decision to purchase the car. He also walked me through each and every element of the car, showing me that every inch of the interior and exterior was in good condition. After I decided to purchase the car, he showed me how to use all the cool features, and even helped me hook up my phone to the handsfree Bluetooth system. A lot of other dealerships won't do that, they'll just send you out on the open road. They care a lot about keeping good relationships with their customers, and we've even got special deals because we've been working with them for so long. Overall, my family has always had a great experience with Lindsay VW, and we look forward to working with them in the future.Bob Derby at Lindsay Volksvagen
by NickL83 on 06/21/2016Bob Derby made the process of buying our Tiguan smooth and worry-free. We would recommend him strongly. He is extremely knowledgeable about the vehicles, and we left very confident in the car we drove off the lot.The BEST!
by jyklee34 on 06/12/2016Best dealer period. They know how to do business. They won't give you any hidden fees or anything. They make car buying process very straight forward and easy. I purchased a car from Simon Chu at Lindsay and it was the best car buying… process I ever had. Five stars!Test Drive!
by ldh0583 on 06/10/2016I have owned only VW Cars going back to 1990. Having traveled and lived in many locations around the US, I have to say this to be the best VW dealership I have had a relationship with! The staff goes out of their way to make you feel part… of the family. This past week, I bought a car there and my salesman did not pressure me, rather he showed me the great features and how fun it would be to drive the Sportswagon. Thanks Clyde! I would also like to add that the service department corrected a small issue and they could not have been more professional and caring. I highly recommend going to Lindsay to test drive one of their cars if you are shopping. You won't regret it!Great car buying experience with a very knowledgeable salesperson
by francisco17 on 05/31/2016After visiting six VW dealerships in the area I found Lindsay Volkswagen of Dulles to be the best one by far. I had the pleasure of meeting Simon Chu who was by far the most knowledgeable salesperson I met over the course of my car buying… process. He knew the car inside and out and ensured that my car buying experience was stress free. I was very pleased that they clearly valued customer service and a long term relationship with their clients. I was able to get the car I wanted at a fair price and I highly recommend looking at this dealer for anyone looking to buy a new VW in the Washington metro area.excellent car buying experience!!!
by h3adm3at on 05/23/2016I recently decided to check in at Lindsay VW on my multi-stop research expedition for a used car. I did all my homework and narrowed down my choice to 4 completely different makes/models, one of which was a VW GTI. Alfonso Monteverde… greeted me at the door with a handshake and offered my wife and me a soft drink. Alfonso talked me out of more expensive models that were beyond what I really would have wanted to pay for, and helped me find the right car. Alfonso clearly understands the business, and the negative results inherent in being pushy and upselling. He even took me to the service department to ask straightforward maintenance questions to the people who work with these vehicles every day. Turns out that almost everyone I spoke with also owns a GTI, and have been repeat owners. I left the dealership that day with a brand new GTI for the budget I set myself on a used one, and find myself driving one of the most fun vehicles I've ever owned. I have since been contacted by Alfonso to ensure I am still happy with my purchase decision and my experience at Lindsay VW, and as I told Alfonso, I couldn't be more satisfied. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind remarks of Anoop! We appreciate your patronage and are pleased your buying experience was enjoyable.
