I bought my first new car at Capital Volkswagen and was very happy with the whole transaction. Samuel L. who helped me made the process pleasant and easy to go through. He helped get the best price possible with minimum back and forth. We took care of all the pricing and payments on the phone so when I got there all I had to do was test drive and sign. What a dream! I would highly recommend, they make you feel like family!

Best auto-purchasing experience Ive ever had. The Sales team was knowledgeable, quick and responsive to my requests, and overall very easy to work with. They were also low-pressure with their up-selling, which isnt always common. Would recommended.

This was the first time I bought a car, and the experience could not have been any better! We went in with a budget and other requirements in mind, and Sabrina made it a point to help us find the car that checked all the boxes. Sabrina stayed past her work hours to ensure we completed the paperwork and other formalities in a smooth manner. Would definitely recommend this place!

Just purchased a vehicle from Capitol Volkswagen and Lori Campbell. I cannot say enough good things about Lori. We arrived late on a Sunday night, and she stayed with us until our deal was done. I know a good sales person makes you feel like they are fighting for you to get a good deal. Lori found discounts we were entitled to without us having to ask for them. We totally feel that she went above and beyond for us, and continues to advocate for us after the sale. The vehicle has some hard water spotting issues that we didn’t notice. She provided us a car so we could go eat dinner while we waited our turn in financing. A much welcomed kindness after a long day of car shopping. If you want to be treated like a person versus a sales commission, then go see Lori.

I leased an Atlas a couple of days ago. Andrew and Lori were very helpful and they gave me the best price compared to other dealers. The whole process is very smooth and I would highly recommend them.

I bought a 2019 VW E-golf from Capitol Volkswagen in March of 2021. I appreciated their help as an out-of-state buyer, and the transaction and delivery were as smooth as possible. Ozzie, Arthur, and the rest of the folks that were involved in the sale get an A+ in my book. The price was great, the service was excellent, and the car arrived in perfect condition, and just exactly as expected. Their detail department made my used car look like new. I would highly recommend Capitol Volkswagen. Ask for Ozzie!

Andrew made buying my 2nd car such a fast and awesome experience. I was in and out with a new car in just a few hours. He listened to what I wanted and didn’t try to upsell me on anything I didn’t want. The car market is pretty rough right now so it was great finding a car with all the features I was looking for without a ridiculous markup on the MSRP. I would recommend him to my family/friends if they ever consider getting a Volkswagen. I’m very happy with my new 2021 Jetta SEL Premium.

Car shopping for me has always been exhausting but I had the best car buying experience in my life with Uwanah at Capitol Volkswagen. I had looked at hundreds of cars online and happened to stumble on the one but it was over three hours away. He took me on a virtual drive and let me ask as many questions as needed in order for me to feel comfortable moving forward with the purchase. He made sure everything was completed so once I made the drive to pick up my car, it would only take a short amount of time. Very professional, knowledgeable, and fun to deal with on top of everything else. Finance department was awesome as well. Thank you so much for making my purchase so painless! I highly recommend Uwanah and this place!

Samuel Leyva & Choch Salas provide impeccable attention to detail and never pressure you into making a decision. They ultimately let you decide the final outcome. They are very personable that eventually leads to a successful long term relationship instead of a simple one time transaction. I highly recommend them to help you get into the vehicle that is the best fit for you. Happy New Years all!

This is the 40th car I have purchased since I began driving in 1974. 20 of those previous purchases were new cars of all different makes ranging from economy cars to high end luxury cars. The buying experiences have been both satisfactory and not so satisfactory ! All of the previous dealers showed little appreciation of my time and my money. Most of the dealers tried to oversell both on the vehicle options and add ons, it was always a battle to get a fair deal on vehicle price, trade in value and they always tried to offer not the best financing rates up front, until after lengthy negotiations on my part finally got me a deal I was willing to accept. It seemed like it was the normal practice in the Auto Sales Industry to try to take advantage of the customer wherever they could. In short, almost always an unpleasant experience.UNTIL my recent purchase of a new VW Jetta from Capitol Volkswagen of San Jose, CA and dealing with Samuel Leyva who is a real professional sales consultant that knows his product and how to work with a customer fairly and respectfully, I’m still amazed of the outstanding customer service that he and his dealership provided me.The whole sales process took about 1/2 hour. I was browsing online and came across Capitol Volkswagen and saw a car that I liked and sent an email to the dealer, inquiring availability and if they could deliver to my home on Visalia, CA which is about 250 miles away.Within a few minutes, I received a reply from Samuel Leyva and I explained to him that I was a truck driver currently in route to Canada and was on my break in Montana and that it would be more convenient for me to conduct business by email and text. Well after a few texts and a phone call later I had become the proud owner of a new VW Jetta !!!Samuel is a very professional and honest person to deal with. After providing him my trade in info and payment and term expectations, he immediately got back to me with the “numbers”. What a surprise !!! There was no back and forth necessary, at first pencil my trade was given a fair value, and Samuel discounted the new car to meet my desired payment and term as well as a rate of 0%😁No tricks, no lies, no games, and I didn’t even have to go to the dealership. I WAS AMAZED !To finalize everything, I asked him how much the delivery to Visalia would be. Again I WAS AMAZED when Samuel said there would be no charge for the delivery and he could personally bring the car.When Samuel showed up with the car I noticed the unique license plate frames that say BE HAPPY 😊Well I must say that this has been the best car buying experience I have ever had in my life ! Yes, I AM HAPPY!😁I highly recommend Samuel and Capitol Volkswagen to anyone who is looking for a true and honest fair deal and excellent hassle free buying experience.Trust me you will BE HAPPY !

We brought our car at Capitol Volkswagen in San Jose, CA. The young man that helped us, Jesus Romero was remarkable. We are prepared for the dont wait on the black couple they dont have money, or good credit so ignore them treatment. But from the moment we arrived until we drove off the lot in our new vehicle, he treated us with the utmost respect.There were a couple of bumps in the road, but none due to his performance as a sales person. All issues were resolved favorably and we left happy with our car and the people that served us. Weve already recommended friends and family to the Dealership, and said to ask for Jesus and Byron, they will take good care of you.

This dealership is amazing. I live in Seattle and found my dream car on their lot in San Jose.I made a deal over the phone, flew down a few days later. They picked me up at my hotel let me drive the car and do a ppi (pre purchase inspection) at a Porsche service center. They had their service team sort out some minor issues with the car and even help in shipping.Thank You so much Juho, Babeck and Andrew you treated me so well .Its not easy trying to buy a car 1000 miles. I have to thank Juho, Babeck and the Manager Andrew for helping me buy my 2013 Porsche . This was a special experience .Thank you the best service I have ever had from any major purchase.Gerod Floyd Seattle WA

I recently purchased a car from capital Volkswagen. I was very happy with my sales person, Andrew. Unfortunately, the transaction has been a problem from the start. It took almost two weeks to get the paperwork to purchase the car and I was paying the asking price. It seems that since I was buying the car from out of state, the finance department was not interested in my purchase. Once I finally got the paperwork I was shipped the car with no temp tag and no hard copies of the signed paperwork. I’ve called the dealership several times and have been ignored or given unfulfilled promises by every sales manager I have spoken to. I was promised a payment for the problems with the paperwork, I’ve never received it. I was told I would be issued a temp tag, I’ve received nothing. I’ve called several times and all empty promises. I’m left with car that I’m paying for but can’t drive and all of the EMPTY PROMISES from this dealership.Unfortunately, my experience with Capital Volkswagen was horrible. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DEALER.

Just bought an ID.4 from online that was delivered and serviced for sale. The sales person that helped us (Samuel) was outstanding. He helped us through the weeks to get the right car and options explaining all the bells and whistles. Keep in mind that there is a learning curve with EVs so a patient sales person’s help is needed. The paper work was explained well to us by Samuel and there were no hidden surprise fees. Best car buying experience ever.

Had my car in to replace battery. Battery died within warranty, car wont start. Brought battery to dealer for replacement. Was told the battery itself is not enough for warranty, battery needs to be inside the car and towed to the dealer to be acceptable for warranty check. If you are reading this, you can be the judge of whether this is realistic for a simple battery replacement. VW car is good, but Capitol VW is a joke.

I’d gotta say this was one of the best dealerships I’ve been too. Samuel was such great help, took care of me over the phone explained everything very well, when I arrived to the dealership he took care of me got me the best deal I could get for my trade in and I walked out of there a happy camper! I recommend this dealership to anyone looking to purchase a car. Awesome customer service, very friendly, and professional!! Had a great experience!

Review №24

One of the sales manager here, Elsayed Abdelbaky, is very rude. I have never written a google review, but I was so speechless at how this man treated us, I had to come on here to warn everyone. As a customer, you go into a dealership expecting some sort of “good”customer service (at least just basic manners)... Elsayed Abdelbaky got so heated and mad at us for something he had a miscommunication about with his employee! It did not involve us at all - we were only explaining to him what the sales rep (his employee) we were speaking to had told us, but he started yelling at us. It’s very unprofessional to yell at customers, especially for something we did not do. The whole process took two days and we were lied to about the price and the rate multiple times throughout the two days. Juho (sales rep/product specialist) and the finance director treated us very kindly, but not the sales manager, Elsayed. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ELSAYED ABDELBAKY. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BUY YOUR CAR PLEASE.

Everyone I interacted with was courteous and fair. I especially enjoyed working with Andrew and Daniel. The price was aggressive, my mechanic loved the car, and the after purchase support was there when I needed it.I dealt with two other dealerships prior to working with Capitol Volkswagen, and the differences were obvious. Ill definitely be starting my search here next time.

I am new to the area and Capital VW was so friendly and extremely helpful. Their service department was excellent and helped me with my car which unexpectedly died.I am a first time leaser and salesman, Juan Velazquez, was very knowledgable and walked me through the whole process. He was extremely friendly and welcoming which was greatly appreciated during this semi stressful situation. I also appreciated his patience with me as I asked numerous questions.I would recommend Juan and his colleges at Capital VW to anyone who is looking to lease, buy or get their car serviced.Absolutely love my new lease!

They are incorrect in their diagnosis. I went in wanted to do specific services. I asked them a side question in case they knew/ if they can check while doing the services I requested. However, I wanted to get these specific services done! They charged me for diagnosis and did only 1 of the services. I had to wait for 5 hours on top of that. I definitely won’t be going there again.

I got my dream car thanks to an amazing representative named Samuel! I scheduled a test drive with the dealership and he called me to confirm within an hour of when I scheduled the appointment. He was extremely polite and worked with me to get the best deal I could for me to get it all on my own without the need for a co-signer! The finance person who helped me named Byron was so helpful and nice as well! I was able to walk out with my dream car after being at the dealership for a few hours tops. The only hiccup Ive experienced is the registration for my car hasnt been sent to me yet, and I had a police officer kindly inform me to check in with the business side of the dealership. I emailed Byron and he quickly got back to me insuring that he would contact the business side on Monday. An amazing dealership overall and definitely the best dealership experience I have had.

Me and my family worked with Samuel Leyva and he helped us tremendously. He was very active with responding and kept in touch throughout the whole process. When we came to buy the car, he was ready and didn’t waste any of your time. He even zoom called us before to show us the car in detail so we didn’t waste any time driving all the way to San Jose. We highly recommend him. The finance department was a on the slower side, but overall our experience was great and I left with a great car!

If you are in the market for a car, ask for Lori Campbell at Capitol VW!I was looking at several different VW dealerships throughout the Bay Area for a 2020 Atlas Cross Sport SEL R-Line and thanks to Lori, I decided to go with Capitol VW.I have been working in the customer service field in some way or another for a little over 20 years now, and when I’m making any kind of purchase it’s nice to deal with someone that doesn’t treat you like you’re just another sale on the board. When it came down to making the decision on where to purchase the vehicle, it was Lori’s level of customer service that sealed the deal.Not only was she able to work with me on the payments and pricing she went above and beyond with her customer service. She’s friendly, she’s courteous, she always responded to all of my emails, and she always answered any questions I had for her. She even brought the vehicle to me so I could test drive it on my lunch at work!I also have to say that all of the other people I met at Capitol VW were all very nice as well. Lori and the rest of the Capitol VW team, without a doubt, made this my best car buying experience ever!Thank you again Lori! I’ll be looking you up in a few years when I come back for another car.

Five stars for Juan, who was a patient and gracious salesman, answered all my questions promptly over phone/text and in person, and was never pushy. He accommodated me last minute when I came back and wanted to buy the car, but I had a serious time crunch as my kids were with a babysitter. He made it work! He also saw that I had no way to get my old and new car home by myself, so he offered to drive the car to my home (I live over an hour away!!) I am so thankful to him for making the process so easy. His customer service is exceptional and you dont find that everywhere.

First, I want to apologize for taking so long to send my review. I bought my 2011 VW Jetta a month ago. I want to especially thank Samuel my for giving me such a Great Customer Experience with the purchase of my car!! I felt confident in his honesty and knowledge, as well as he wasnt just selling me a vehicle, but he built a long term relationship with me. This type of Customer Service goes a long way. Also a thank you to Henry for being so responsive, when Samuel was not currently available. All I can say is the overall staff was attentive and willing to make things right for the customer! I love my VW Jetta, thank Capital VW again for the wonderful Experience. I will definitely tell my friends.

I first contacted the dealership through their website in the evening and by the next morning, I got a follow-up from Wayne Rhodes. I asked him about their No-Brainer pricing, the terms for receiving it, and inquired about the car I was interested in. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and we went ahead and booked a test drive. He was also very accommodating to the timing of my visit since we like a couple of hours away. At the dealership, I asked specifically for him to be our sales rep and I am very happy he was. He was knowledgeable about the car and answered all of our questions. During the financing process, he went above and beyond and found terms that were most favourable to us. In addition, he advised us on the various optional packages for the car. He was very honest and transparent with the pricing and he didn’t sell us anything we didn’t need.There was a bit of a wait to get the final papers signed (~1.5 hours) due to a lack of finance staff but that gave us time to eat lunch and enjoy their free coffee! The finance manager/director Byron Bautista was a pleasure to work with. He was able to find us an even better rate with better terms, plus added bonuses to the car. He went through every paperwork thoroughly and explained what each document meant. I see why the wait was long: they want to make sure they’re transparent with everything you sign!Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The drive was well worth it and our new Golf is a beauty! They have earned themselves a loyal customer and I’d happily drive 2 hours just to make a purchase with them again!

I find car shopping stressful and I appreciate the good care that Wayne, Byron and Arthur took of me. I am excited to own an EV! I only give 5 stars for above and beyond exceptional service, but these folks would get a 4 1/2 if I could choose fractions. The prices were a bit higher than if I went farther afield, but that is off set by the customer service, professionalism, convenience, and peace of mind that comes with working with a reputable dealer!

I bought a 2021 Volkswagon Jetta S yesterday. I appreciate very much of JuHos and Arthurs willingness to close the deal. Neither push nor hassle such that I have sufficient time to consider what I really want even though the final deal doesnt meet my initial counter-offer thoroughly.

This review and rating is specially for Uwanah Udofia from this dealership. I contacted this dealership via the Costco auto program and was immediately contacted by Uwanah. He provide precise discounted pricing for the Atlas i was looking for via email and answered all my questions before i went for a test drive 2 days later. At the dealership, he took time to explain the features to us and sent us off for the test drive. After we came back, he walked us through the pricing and did not pressurize us to make a deal today and respected our time, which we greatly appreciated. Definitely ask for Uwanah to get the best service at this dealership.

We purchased a 2016 e-Golf today. We live in Roseville and phoned the dealership to inquire about the cars they had online. My husband spoke with a gentleman named Sammy who was incredibly helpful over the phone. He took the time to explain the vehicle, sent us pictures and sent the financing paperwork through email. He made the process very painless. He coordinated with Samuel who delivered the car directly to our home where we completed the paperwork and took delivery.

This review is based on my email exchanges with Osbaldo Sayago, Online Product Specialist. During a two week period in Feb-Mar 2021, I enquired and asked many questions about leasing/purchasing a VW. Osbaldo kindly went beyond what I expected and provided helpful info which eventually helped to narrow the choices. We ended up purchasing from another VW dealership because Capitol did not carry the model/color we wanted. But the interaction with Osbaldo left a very positive impression to consider Capitol for our next VW upgrade. Thanks, Osbaldo!

Samuel Leyva did a tremendous job providing excellent service across the board. He reached out to get everything squared away with regards to my lease ending and also offered the various financing options available along with maintenance packages. Samuel Leyva did a great job communicating and making the process of closing things out easy as 1,2,3. Samuel Leyva drove to my office over 45 minutes away and was very professional and I would highly recommend he receive a promotion to managing the team that performs this service. Samuel Leyva knows service and is appreciated. Thank you very much Samuel Leyva. G.I.G.

I have personally purchased 3 times from this location and a few of my closest friends have also purchased multiple vehicles from here. It is always a great experience. Everyone is so nice and easy to talk to. They make you feel at home during the whole process. I have dealt with Alex for two car purchases and both times he has been extremely informative about the vehicles and quick with any paperwork that needs to be done. I will continue to buy my vehicles here and recommend them to people I know!

After making many trips to multiple dealerships this was by far the worst experience. First off, we felt rushed from the time of arrival. The trade-in expert came out with the Kelley Blue book instant car value instead of the Kelley Blue book recommended trade-in value. This value was somewhere around 3800, he said he would do us a favor and offer us 6500. This was misleading, an attempt to use an arbitrary number to justify the low ball offer. The car was sold to another dealer for 9500, 30% more then the original offer which was such a favor. He also asked me why I was being confrontational for calling him out on this tactic. If you want to be hustled, dont mind losing money, this place might be for you.

Just bought a new 2020 VW Tiguan from Lori Campbell at Capitol VW in San Jose. I drove an hour from my home in the East Bay. I would have driven across the country to work with her! She is brilliant. Honest. Straightforward (no BS). Offered me a discount on top of an already great price on the car. Was a delight to work with. Made sure the vehicle was perfect before I left with it. Made the trade-in a breeze. I urge anyone within 100 miles of the dealership to check it out. Best car buying experience I have EVER had and I have bought many cars. Thanks Lori!

The best experience we have ever had at a dealership! The staff was great and very knowledgeable about what they were selling. Mr. Pullen and Samuel were a great help to us and were very sincere. We will definitely come back to this dealership for future purchases. DGDG has surely changed the environment of car dealerships. We will totally recommend this dealership to all our family and friends. BTW VW Atlas rules. What a car!

The Capitol VW experience was tremendous. From the very first inquiry on the vehicle, the response time was great and interactions were very respectful and helpful. The buying experience along with closing the transaction for pickup was equally impressive working with Samuel Leyva and Byron Bautista. Sincerely thank you for finding the vehicle I needed!

After car shopping for two months, I am grateful to have found Capitol Volkswagen! Samuel Leyva responded immediately to my message. He was able to find the car I wanted to purchase and prepare all of the paperwork. I traveled two hours to make the purchase. The customer service was worth the drive! Samuel was personal and professional. After leaving the dealership, Samuel drove to meet me in the area and install the car mats that were originally over looled by accident. The professional and friendly service at Captiol Volkswagen is exceptional!

Highly recommend working with Samuel Leyva. We got a quick and fair offer to trade in our old car, and he was friendly and helpful throughout the interaction.

Purchased a 2020 Golf GTI with assistance from Samuel Leyva. The process was simple and quick, and Samuel was extremely helpful, even driving to car to my house after it had been cleaned up. I would recommend Samuel to anyone looking for a VW.

After having interacted with other VW dealerships, I was fortunate to find Capitol VW. Their level of service and attention made the entire experience of buying a new car stress-free! The General Manager Mciver was kind and professional, he knows how to take care of his team and customers. Don’t bother with other VW dealerships and go with these guys, you won’t regret it!

We recently purchased a used truck from Capitol Volkswagen. It was a very pleasant experience. Lori Campbell was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed working with her.Byron Bautista was also very helpful with warranty information and more as we waded through the paperwork.

This is the 4th vehicle I have purchased from Samuel and the 3rd from Capitol Volkswagen. Samuel is friendly, knowledgeable, transparent, and will go the extra mile to make sure you are happy. It is like buying a car from your friend instead of a sales person. I also appreciate that if he does not know the answer, he says so up front, and then does the research to give you the right answer.Samuel represents Volkswagen well, and I am grateful for the hard work he does to make sure his customers are happy.

I worked with Lori to lease my 2020 Tiguan SE and it was a delight! The whole team there is really great, I had a lot of questions since I havent leased before and they were really helpful with all the answers. Lori introduced me to Patty on the service side so that I had a point of contact if I ever needed repairs. Will happily come back here for all my VW needs. Thanks all!

Not all VW dealers are the same. Ive called all of the VW dealerships in the bay and also tried all the car shopping apps online because of Covid, but none was upfront and honest as Samuel Levya and Byron Bautista at Capitol VW. I hate when people dont want to give me a simple number. Samuel gave me my out the door price along with a breakdown of taxes and fees for our used Tiguan in our first conversation. Every VW in the bay that Ive called would not give me a straight up out the door price. Some just wanted my social so they could run my credit. Some were really pushing me to meet in person (as if there isnt a pandemic going on).Samuel was just upfront and genuine. He went out of his way to get the job done- from asking his team to fix things on the car to even calling the previous owner to ask questions. He kept his mask on and was very conscious of being Covid-safe, which in turn made us feel safe. He put us first every time we met, every conversation we had, and genuinely cared about us being happy with this car with no regrets.Byron was our finance person and he was just as sincere and helpful as Samuel. We got to know them not only as VW guys but as real people as well. They have good values and respect for how they treat people (not just customers). These 2 guys put up with me for hour(s) after closing time, and answered all my questions and concerns, and the whole time I was not pressured. Unreal. This is not the fake sales people that just want your money that Im used to. This is the best car-buying experience weve ever had. No pressure, patient, straight up, honest people. Id definitely recommend these 2 outstanding people if you are looking for a good honest deal.

5 star customer service from Andrew Choy. I have been car shopping for 1 year, I visited Toyota, Lexus, BMW, Audi, Subaru, Mazda, Kai, infinity, Honda and Benz. The place by far has the best customer service from my interaction with Andrew. This is the only place that I have visited under DGDG. I have never been to dgdg, and I am very pleased with my first time at one of their shop here. I test drove twice within one month before deciding on my dream car. :) What I like the most about him is - responsive, respectful and not pushy. Of course it’s a teamwork to make my transition happen in a pleasant way. So thanks for everyone there to help me with the process.

Samuel Leyva is a car salesmen god.A day before I made it to my appointment at Volkswagen I submitted all the necessary documents to buy the car that I wanted.I was actually in my new car and headed home in 2 and a half hours after signing all my contracts.Thats 5 hours short of what it took to buy my first car. he was very positive and answered all my questions. I did not feel taken advantage of due to having very little knowledge about the car buying process.He was positive and very flexible in our communication.It was more than about just getting a car sold I can tell that he is serious about building a positive brand for himself and the company.Thank you.

Review №87

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 drivers 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 wont 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 didnt, so I dont 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 dont 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 dont ask your dealer to give your car a car wash, you can always do it outside somewhere.

I recently had a great experience purchasing a GTI from Capital Volkswagen through Samuel Leyva. The whole process was seamless and worry-free, and even after buying the car, Samuel went out of his way to ensure that I was happy with my purchase. I would highly recommend this dealership (and Samuel) above others in the bay area.

I got the car that I wanted which was great. However I have owned my car for two months now and have contacted the dealership at least 5 times now and havent received the paperwork we signed for. Im still lacking DMV material and my loan contract details are not documented for me to prove I own the car. I love the car I bought however Im really disappointed with the overall experience with this dealership.

My overall experience with this dealership was quite positive, and the person of contact, Lori Campbell, was very helpful, professional, attentive, yet somehow casual so I wasnt pressured to buy...and I have some past experience to compare to. She introduced me to the car I was most interested in, demonstrated various features and her test drive routes allowed me to feel the car at various driving scenarios. The purchase process also was quite seamless, and I drove off in my new car. Conclusion: from my personal experience, I would recommend this place.

I drove 350 miles to purchase my VW here. Yes, I got a great deal, but more importantly the customer service was really 5 star. I had the opportunity to work with Andrew Choy and Samuel Leyva. They were honest and upfront about pricing, trade-in, and when I got there - the deal didnt change. They were also really enjoyable to work with!Ive had some terrible past experiences with other VW dealers in the Los Angeles area and these guys really turned it all around. They were respectful and patient and actually treated me like I was spending 30K. Not trying to rush me out the door like I was buying a $10 pizza and sneaking in extra money here and there for the toppings I didnt ask for.You can tell that they not only care about their customers, they really love their job. Which says a lot about the company they work for. I highly recommend Capitol Volkswagen and their team. They took a VW customer that almost switched to Toyota and got me back on board.My next VW purchase will be with them again in the future, even if its far!

Lori was fantastic! I came all the way from SF because Capitol offered the best deal. So I had a rental car to return. Lori led me to Enterprise, waited for me to gas the car and return it, and then took me back to the dealership. I found a slight blemish on the hood of the car I was purchasing - it’s a used car - and she had both the hood and trunk lid buffed and shined. Justin was also great in the finance office. Thanks to the whole team. Great car. Great price. Great service. Great people.

I would highly recommend Samuel Leyva of Capitol Volkswagen. He is a shining star in the auto business because of his honesty and respect. I dread going to car dealerships because of the lack of professionalism and respect typical car salespeople have. Samuel proved he isnt an ordinary car salesperson because he went above and beyond my expectations with helping my 84-year-old Mother replace her car. He facilitated and seamless buying experience and even personally delivered the car to Sonoma, CA. Samuel is an example of how the auto dealership buying experience should be. Great job Samuel, thank you for your help!

People saying best service is paying the extra 4k.Pricing is so bad here, easily 4k higher than other shops, just check out some online prices on other dealerships.I was talking to Arthur, and if you ask to match price with another dealership, they will become extremely defensive and angry.

Review №98

Everything seems working fine except the last part: waiting for the delivery of my car. I waited outside the office for nearly 10 minutes and still no car! I finally have to get back inside and inquired about this. I observed and think what happened is the guy whos responsible for doing the delivery was waiting for a car that needs to drive back to the back of the job site or parking lot instead of go get the customers car right away. This way he is thinking with killing 2 birds with one stone mentality. I think thats good for efficiency but the delay is longer than expected than he should think of customers service as priority. What happened if the other car is not ready for 15 to 20 minutes (like writing up the job orders etc) then should the customer bear this burden and wait for the long time? This is the reason I only give 3 stars, otherwise all the other services are very good.

We were shopping for a used car and met Samuel Leyva here at Capitol VW. He was very helpful and continued to answer questions I had even after we had left. His help was invaluable. I truly appreciate how patient he was with all my questions. He really helped us to get clearer on all the features available. Thank you again Samuel for all your help.
