Customer Reviews
I had an unfortunate situation with my Volkswagen that required a backordered part, and the repair ended up taking nearly five months. While the extended wait was completely outside of the dealership's control, the team at Volkswagen of Des Moines handled the situation exceptionally well from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, my Service Advisor, Jontay, and Service Manager, Mark, kept me informed with regular updates, typically checking in about once a month even when there wasn't much new information to share. Their communication and transparency gave me confidence that they hadn't forgotten about my vehicle and were doing everything they could while waiting for the part to arrive. The dealership also provided me with several excellent loaner vehicles throughout the repair process, allowing me to continue my daily routine without interruption. When my vehicle was finally ready, they went above and beyond by replacing the battery, brakes, windshield wipers, and other items that had been affected by the car sitting for such an extended period. As a final touch, they even detailed the interior and exterior before returning it to me. Although the delay itself was unavoidable, the level of customer service I received was outstanding. Jontay, Mark, and the entire Volkswagen of Des Moines team demonstrated professionalism, excellent communication, and a genuine commitment to taking care of their customers. They turned an unfortunate circumstance into a truly positive service experience. Thank you!
I had a great experience purchasing a new VW Atlas Cross Sport! Riley and Steve made the process easy and enjoyable! I really appreciate their help in facilitating the deal! I would highly recommend Lithia VW of Des Moines.
I bought a 2019 GMC from emir and he was very helpful and not pushy at all and made sure he got me a good deal! I would highly recommend!!
Volkswagen of Des Moines does not disappoint! Sejad was super easy and great to work with. Very tentative and was super knowledgeable on the best vehicle to fit our active family of 4. We are so excited for our new Volkswagen Atlas!! Thank you Sejad!
I recently purchased a Jetta through the VW dealership and I am pleased to say that my first experience buying a car was made easily especially with the help of Sejad Dubinovic! As soon as we arrived to the dealership, we were quickly greeted by Sejad. He knew his products well and answered every question with a smile! He even went as far to give me extra information that helped me make my decision later on! Sejad made my experience extremely stress free and I appreciated that as a first time buyer. I also really enjoyed that through the VW dealership I didn’t feel pushed at all, as I have felt while simply looking at other dealerships. I couldn’t thank Sejad and VW enough to help me get a car in a short amount of time.
Adrian is great to work with, made the process fun and simple!
Good work. Fair price. Good service.
We worked with AJ from start to finish. His knowledge of vehicles was super helpful and his none pushy approach was very much appreciated. We ended up getting the Atlas and he got us exactly what we were looking for. Could not have been happier with our experience, 10 out of 10.
Great experience, wasn’t pushy. Answered every question we had and did a great job working with us and our price range.
AJ Highsmith was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Would highly recommend working with AJ!!!
I bought my mother a car here and emir was our sales person. He was amazing. Patient, kind, knowledgeable, all the things. The Finance manager Riley was also so amazing. Explained everything well and in a way that a normal person would understand it best product sales from a financial perspective ever. Because this experience was so amazing I turned around and actually bought myself an atlas two days later. Sejad was my sales person. He was also so helpful and knowledgeable! He did amazing with helping me make up my mind! I really do loves the sales team they have here!
They listened to my co concerns and verified the problem and checked with my extended warranty to get it covered. Very awsome people.
Four VW’s and miles of service appointments over 15 years and never been anything but pleased, sales, service always exceptional!
