Easy in and out service. Good explanation of suggested work and timely service as predicted. Also told what to expect at next service and timing of that service.

Reviewed by SERGEAMIDecember 04, 2025

I have been to the service department 3 times since I leased my car and have been unsatisfied each time. The service managers are nice but seem understaffed. The cashiers seem disinterested in their jobs and are barely polite. I also had to wait about 40 minutes from the time I arrived to drop off my car till the time I left and I had an appointment. Then when I wanted to pick up my car. I called twice and was transferred to VM and could not get a live person on the phone. I was so frustrated that I went there in person and sure enough, my car was ready and nobody had called me. The other service person was not my original had a hard time finding my ticket and moved very slow, with no sense of urgency. I will be trying a different VW service location for my next service which is unfortunate, because the Encinitas location is closest to my house.
