Customer Testimonials

Our experience with Lithia was amazing!!! Zac was our salesman and he was wonderful. He found us a car that fit our family needs and was everything I wanted plus more! I highly recommend Zac at Lithia Volkswagen!! You won't be disappointed!!

Had to swing in unexpectedly off the interstate. Ended up having to leave my vehicle but was given a loaner. This dealership is top notch. Everyone goes above and beyond!

I would highly recommend Sam and his team to anyone! He was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. We were given a good price and trade-in value.

Great customer service

I love this dealership. The staff in both service (LOVE! ) and sales are great. I recently had to move my lease to a purchase and as challenging as it was for me to accept that what I understood / expected the end result to be (was not as was first explained when I leased in another state), they were kind and patient and straightforward with me. I thoroughly enjoy working with them in all aspects of my lovely Tiguan. I highly recommend this dealership.


Sales team was great! Very helpful and smooth process.



TJ and the entire team made the out of state buying process so easy! I recently purchased a used BMW through them that I had found online. It included all of the features I was interested in and I had been having a difficult time finding one locally. TJ met with me via a FaceTime call. Walked me through the entire vehicle. He shared a couple of tiny blemishes the vehicle had and shared several videos and many photographs. His attention to detail was fantastic. The finance team also worked through all of the logistics of overnighting paperwork and all ...




Service was quick and well done

The appointment scheduling experience was quick and easy, as was the drop off of my vehicle. The gentleman who checked in my vehicle was thorough and he followed up as promised. I expressed concern about my vehicle when I picked it up from this service. It was addressed immediately and the action alleviated all my concerns. I am totally satisfied with all aspects of my service.

I got my serviced scheduled easily. Work was performed a expected and my car was ready when they promised.

Linda was Awesome to deal with



Great experience and easy to work with!

I purchased a 2020 Tiguan and it could not have been an easier process. Majid did a great job of helping me in the process - he was very personable and knowledgeable and got me excited to own a VW - my first! Michaela in the finance department was also enjoyable and easy to work with. A great place to find your next vehicle!


Always a pleasure at Lithia! The service associates are WONDERFUL! Took awhile, but the atmosphere was calm and relaxing!


Faris & the team at Lithia VW of DSM were great to work with. They were prompt, efficient, & helpful through the entire process of purchase.

I purchased a used car. Dane was my Sales Consultant and was very friendly and very knowledgeable. I was very pleased with the customer service throughout the entire car buying process. Dwayne even made financing fun. I highly recommend checking out Lithia Volkswagen.

Brian Braak is the best salesperson I have ever known. He is truly honest about all aspects of the vehicle and gets you the best deal.

Excellent service and results; professional and pleasant staff


Good quick service nice staff 👍👍


Kind attention and very good expertise. GOOD indeed 👌

I was able to get my car in the same day and it was ready to go the next.


I enjoyed my experience at Lithia Volkswagen. They were courteous and friendly. Everything went quickly.

Bought a new vehicle here. Sam was an awesome sales person. He helped me find exactly what I was looking for and was very informative and helpful throughout the process. Definitely recommend atleast checking this place out if you’re thinking about buying a new vehicle.



I recently purchased a 2013 Ford Escape from Lithia Volkswagen of Des Moines. Zachary was great to work with! This was my first time buying a car on my own and I appreciate that there was no pressure to start. I’ve been to other dealerships to look at vehicles and none of them compared to this dealership. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful! I will recommend Zachary and Lithia Volkswagen of Des Moines to my friends and family! Btw try the hot chocolate if you get a chance, it’s the best in town! 🙂



Quality and time spent for that service were amaizing

Nobody at the customer service area . We probably stood there waiting for several minutes while the service people were standing there. They saw us and could have asked if we needed something. Probably should have recognize us from earlier in the morning and new we were their to pick up a car .


Very awesome service, quick and very dependable and detailed to help me out with my loving 2014 Jutta SE!!! Thank you Linda for being courtesy and friendly ❤ 😊



fast accurate affordable service


Terrific sales rep in Elvis, and Alex in financing went the extra mile. Highly recommend this group.

We purchased our new car from Lithia Audi of Des Moines. The experience was great and very smooth.



Always take good care of our vehicle. Easy to work with, friendly.

i give lithia volskswagon a excellent review very helpful and friendly people

The dealership and staff made my car buying experience very quick and easy.


Brian Braak and Georan Churchill made the purchase of my new to me 2019 GTI Rabbit quick and easy. I had been searching for this exact model for several months all over the country, and they had the exact vehicle I was looking for at a competitive price, and I did not have to travel too far away to not know how the process was going to go. Also, Dwayne Hill in the finance office was quick and efficient with the paperwork while at the same time making sure that everything was disclosed and understood. This is my second purchase with ...

Jorge has been professional, accommodating, and has excellent follow up when helping me get the vehicle i was looking for. He is outstanding. Aleks explained documents to me in a way that i could understand them and i never once felt like i was signing something that didn't make sense. A friendly and inviting team! Thank you.

I did not end up buying my VW Alltrack from Lithia because of a very negative experience with a salesman. However, the service department was recommended by my husband. I will say that the service staff and services received have been exceptional. Linda/Laura (?) has been amazing and has made my outlook on Lithia 100% positive. Thank you!

We had an excellent experience working with Justine at Lithia VW! We bought the car from out of state, and Justine was responsive and helpful every step of the way. The only reason I didn't rate the facilities is we never set foot in them - Justine drove the car to us in Chicago!

Excellent, fast, friendly service

Always the best service and experience.



The service department worked us in same day and delivered what was promised. Very easy and efficient process for service.

I had a great experience with George, from start to finish - professional, straightforward and efficient! Made my trip from Minnesota worthwhile.

Jason was very kind and helpful. My issue was resolved temporarily however, so not sure what to do next. Tire pressures are very sensitive in all the VWs I have owned, but is frustrating that the monitoring system cannot be adjusted to allow for some variation in tire pressure.

I was just looking, and they found the exact car I wanted. My trade in blue book value was low, but the manager was able to add extra money for my trade to keep my monthly payment low. I was really treated fairly. Also, covid safe environment. Staff wear masks and they clean constantly.

Alex was absolutely awesome, and took my curve ball in stride. Extremely professional, not pushy at all. 10/10 would recommend. Michaela in finance was awesome as well!!


Truly an outstanding experience! Found the right car they were very fair on my trade-in. Our salesperson Alex Henson was very knowledgeable, professional and personable! Would highly recommend!


Everything was great, except their restrooms were not working that day, so for a simply oil change, I had to get a ride just to go to the restroom!

The whole process was a good experience. The upgrade for the emissions recall took about an hour to do.

This service department did an outstanding job of servicing my needs during an oil change that included a complimentary car wash! Very friendly, efficient and organized! I give them 5 stars all the way. I have never been treated so nicely in my life, at a service department!

Disappointment began upon picking up the car after purchase. The original salesperson was too busy to deliver the car and left it to another salesperson. I really still trying to familiarize myself with the car and there is no real manual to research. I stopped in a few days later as I noticed there was a small part missing on the vehicle, they referred me to the original salesperson. He basically said he noticed it upon the trade but they did not replace it before selling it. He took 10 seconds too show me something I asked about the car and ...


This happened a couple weeks ago, but I hope it can illustrate my experience at Lithia. I spent the summer in Bend, Oregon, and did not feel safe flying back to my home in Durham, NC, so I purchased a used VW Passat GLX wagon and started my journey back on 10/1. The car has low miles and was well taken care of for the past 10 years since the most recent owners purchased it. I made it all the way to a rest stop in between Lincoln, NE and Des Moines, IA and needed a new battery. After the jump from ...

Recently stopped by Lithia VW of DSM, for the first time, without a service appointment for a minor issue and received excellent customer service from Philip Ostrem! The other staff were just as friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable as Philip.


I just bought a 2019 Golf R as a distance buy (live in Virginia) due to Covid and couldn't see the car in person. Faris helped me through the entire process, took great pictures of everything I asked, and made me feel very comfortable. He was extremely professional and got me what I wanted for the price i was looking for. Thanks to Faris and the team for a great buying experience!

Brian Braak was very knowledgeable about the VW line and was able to answer all of our questions and demonstrate all of the vehicle attributes. He was very attentive to my wife's concerns and what she wanted in a new vehicle. Brian continues to be a source of information even after the sale, and has checked in with us to see how we are doing with the new Atlas. Many thanks for a pleasant sales experience.

They did everything to help us find the right vehicle and worked hard to get us the best deal on our trade in!!

We shopped in-person in Omaha, and online in KC and Des Moines for an new 2020 Audi Q3. All the dealerships had the car we wanted or could get it shipped to their store. What set Lithia Volkswagen of Des Moines apart from the others was their customer service. We worked with Anando and he was awesome. So responsive, informative and helpful. We told him we were part of the Costco auto rebate program and also had a TrueCar discount code. Anando happily accepted both rebates, which saved us thousands. He was helpful in explaining all the car’s features before ...

EDIT: they have since apologized for the lack of shuttle. They said it is normally not the case. Due to COVID Lyft rides are affected and there were no drivers. It really was no fault of the dealer. While at the time it happened they did not say anything or apologize they did reach out before the day is over which is a big deal to me. If you are looking for a vehicle or your Volkswagen needs service I would recommend bringing it here!


The process of buying a car from this local dealership was pretty stress free. After some negotiation we agreed upon a purchase price, trade in value, and added options. It does help to know what you are looking for and to do your research on the vehicle and options available before you begin looking at specific cars.

Great customer service! Everyone was very friendly. I went in for a 2018 Q5 but drove home with a 2020 Q5.


I’ve purchased new cars from Lithia since 2009 with my first Tiguan, then a Golf in 2015. They are always great with trade-ins and I feel like I got a fair price both on the trade-in and on my new 2020 Tiguan. My sales rep was Justine and she was very personable and attentive, she even called me the next day after the purchase to ask if I had any questions and was able to answer the questions I did have. Love my VW!


My sales guy was a pleasure to work with.


Highly recommend Lithia for customer service, cleanliness of vehicles, and facility. This is the second vehicle we have purchased here in a year. Everyone has their own criteria for choosing the vehicle they buy, Lithia made the buying experience very easy.

Work was done promptly and seems to have been done correctly. The work comes with a 50,000 mile warranty, which is extremely nice.

I spoke to Brian brawl about a Jeep Cherokee I fell in love with. He was very friendly and treated me and my brother who was with me like family. Lithia will definitely be my first choice to recommend to someone and to purchase another vehicle when my financing terms are up. Thanks Brian!

Good service by informing us what will be worked on and what need to be worked on in the future. Only complaint I have is somehow one of my deer horns was taken off while there.

Mark was great at keeping me up to date on the repair work to my EOS. There was a little glitch where some computer codes were cleared before they were addressed, but Mark was up front with me about that.
