Absolutely WORST dealership ever. We bought this used Volt at Capitol Volkswagen about 1 month ago. We should have noticed at that time the unprofessional of this dealer. During our test drive, the dealer does not even know that this car is a plug-in hybrid and insist on that this car must not be a plug-in vehicle.
OK, I understand that this is Capitol Volkswagen, not Chevy, so it can be understandable for them to be unfamiliar with this car, but things just get worse after we decided to buy the car. When we bought the car, we signed a lot of documents, mostly is confirming that their car has no defects before selling it to us. Sure, who would think of you will buy a defect car instead? Dramatically, this just happens to us.
What do we got? A broken door lock on the rear door on driver's side. We cannot lock that door unless we lock it manually from the inside. Huh, that is called a car without defect. Cool, so we brought the car back and politely asking for a free replacement. They said sure let them take a look, and you know what, we wait there for the rest of the day (we arrived about 11 or so) until 4 or 5pm. And they still DID NOT fix the car. They said they need to order parts. OK, I won't ask why you need 6 hours just to tell me to order parts, but FINE, I will come again when your parts ready. After 2 or 3 weeks, we are finally being told that the parts are ready and we can fix that lock.
That is so cool! Last time I replaced my tires for my Lexus, you know how long that one takes? Two days, and a total waiting of 2 hours. It took an hour the first day to let me know they need to order parts, and it took another hour to have the new tires on. So how long dear Capitol Volkswagen took us? Emmmm, roughly 12 hours I think? It took 6 hours for them to let me know they need to order parts, and they use another 6 hours to JUST fix that lock. Interesting.
You think this is the end of the story? No! When we finally got our Volt back and drove to Popeyes for a chicken dinner, we noticed that there are several scratches on the back trunk! We checked our car EVERY DAY and I swear I NEVER SAW SCRATCHES LIKE THESE. Thus, we drove back and told them it is your man that made these scratches. Clearly, as a good dealership, Capitol Volkswagen is never good at admitting mistakes that caused by them. We are told that they must not be the one that cause these scratches but they can offer a buff. OK, I should have taken pictures before sending the car to you for the service but I didn't, so I don't have any evidences showing that it is you that made these scratches. FINE, if you help me buff the scratches, it is just FINE.
Today, we came to Capitol Volkswagen for the buff, and they took the car for about 2 hours and now they told me: Sorry, since it is not our fault, we cannot buff it for you. WAIT. Are you xxxxing kidding me?
I have never seen a dealership like this, and I will definitely never go back to this dealership again. Some sincere suggestions from a previous customer of Capitol Volkswagen:
1. Please remember to take a pictures of your car, both interior and exterior, before sending your car for the service, so that they cannot deny their responsibilities when they caused damages to your car.
2. Although I don't know how they caused the scratches, after searching online, we found out that it can be the car wash from dealership (I have never done a car wash after I bought this Volt), which also causes lots of scratches to other customers somewhere else. Thus, please don't ask your dealer to give your car a car wash, you can always do it outside somewhere.
