This dealership should be boycotted!
This dealership should be boycotted! Went into Rairdon's VW dealership Sunday Sept 7 test driving the Atlas SE that was offered for $31,495 after 2 discounts. Sat down to purchase car, and suddenly one of the discounts is conveniently missing ($3500 Customer Bonus) and my trade-in value of my 21 Tiguan R-line in mint condition of $24,000 (established by KBB.com) is reduced to $12,000. The entire proposal is padded with Thousands of Dollars of service contracts, "appearance" nonsense and other fees, but the 50% reduction of my trade-in value was the absolute insult. These people hope you don't know your car value and try to cheat you! I EVEN WARNED THE SALESMANAGER DURING THE TEST DRIVE NOT PULL NONSENSE WITH THE TRADE-IN VALUE! WENT RIGHT OVER HIS HEAD! Then the sales manager circumvents this unethical behavior by texting: "I am sorry you feel our 10,000 off on the brand new Atlas and the Trade in Value wasn't what you had hoped for overall to have been OTD (Out The Door) at at 29K on a $41,930 vehicle", followed by "No problem sir, while we try our best, not everyone will see the value we are giving customers towards new purchase". Where is the value when the dealer is trying to deceive you by $12,000 with your trade in??? if you can't sell the car at $31,498, DON"T ADVERTISE IT TO DRAG PEOPLE INTO THE DOOR! I called a previous VW salesperson having worked there, and was told, literally all salespeople including the General Manager!! quit after Reardon bought the dealership from Pignataro due to unethical behavior towards customers and demands on employees. Let that sink in for a moment. Note to Reardon: Don't bother to respond. Your shallow lines are nothing but sales talk. Find additional reviews on Yelp and Dealerrater.com. You are the prime examples why dealerships have such a bad reputation. Shame on the entire Rairdon organization for encouraging and promoting such behavior. I have also called VW Consumer Affairs and opened a ticket!

We're very disheartened to see such strong criticism and regret that your recent experiences with us were so negative. We pride ourselves on upholding a high standard of customer service, and it's concerning that we missed the mark here. Your feedback is important to us and I invite you to call me so I can learn more about what happened during your appointment, because I don't have enough information to properly address these claims. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to get the chance to speak with you. Thank you, Carla L. Ross - Customer Satisfaction Manager - cross@rairdon.com
This review was posted previously. Apparently, your dealership took it down because it was public. I have also sent an e-mail to dealer rater.com letting them know that my review is absolutely truthful and accurate and should stay online. At the time of the original publication, you responded to me publicly. I sent you a lengthy e-mail, to which you did NOT respond! So much for my "important feedback". Besides, your sales manager and staff had my phone number. Why didn't you call me? So it seems to me your response then and now is rather insincere and shallow. No worries, I will buy my VW, just not from you. YOUR LOSS. I will have a discussion with Kayla, Executive Specialist with VW after December 10! Have a wonderful Christmas!

I've been dealing with Rairdon VW since they took over
I've been dealing with Rairdon VW since they took over from Pignataro and I have been completely satisfied every time. The yearly inseptions they do are thorough and complete. They provide a very detailed checklist of every step and any possible item that may need attention in the future. A particularly professional touch is the full car cleanup, inside and out that is standard with every visit. Kudos as well to their Customer Service Chief, Aaron Carlson, who never fails to follow up each time to ensure that everything was done to the owner's satusfaction
