The service technicians don’t take pride in their work

Reviewed by gworley January 23, 2026

The service technicians don’t take pride in their work and try to get things done as fast as possible with no concern for your vehicle. The past three times I’ve been there to get tires put on they have damaged my wheels. I’ve said something about it all three times and they haven’t made it right other than the last time I went.

We were in the market for a work car for my husband.

Reviewed by luvmy3brats91January 22, 2026

We were in the market for a work car for my husband. We decided on a 2022 Volkswagen Passat. We purchased a warranty because we have always been warranty people. Within the 1st month the oil light came on. We bought a quart of oil and added it. It happened again a week or so later. We brought it in and it was decided that the whole engine would have to be torn apart and b/c it was loss of oil, it was one of two things not covered in our warranty. Robert and the whole Joe Machens Volkswagen team did everything they could to help us out. They listened to our concerns and offered to buy the car back from us. This is unheard of in this industry as we are serial car buyers. We managed to leave there with another 2022 Passat and the same monthly payment we had before. We would certainly buy from this company again and I have every confidence that if something goes wrong, they will make sure to make it right no matter what. Thank you so much to all of you for your professionalism and understanding. You’ve gained a customer for life.
