We had a great experience purchasing our first Volkswagen vehicle with the help of Doug and Voss. They were both quick, able to run numbers for us without running our credit first to see if it would even be possible, and very pleasant to work with. We will definitely be telling our family and friends to go see them and ask for Doug. They made us feel right at home with our newborn being there as well. They were very accommodating. Thank you so much for making it a quick & pleasant experience! Weβll be back. π
I worked with Brandon and Ashly and they both were phenomenal to me! I had horrible service at another VW dealership in the Cleveland area and I wasnβt expecting to have high expectations for Spitzer but they were great to work with!! They got me the perfect Atlas Cross Sport vehicle within my price range.
Doug was able to answer all of my questions and provide me with a great car buying experience. I donβt think I would have walked away with my new vehicle if he didnβt truly understand everything that I wanted. Thank you Doug for all of the help!
Ashly was a pleasure to work with! Called in for options and Ashly said βIβm on it!β She called me back within 30minutes and I was happily headed down to purchase the new 22 Tiguan. She was knowledgeable on the vehicle and process! Thanks again Ashly!
Bought my first VW from Chris Parsell. He is a salesman at the Chevy dealership and helps out at VW when needed. His caring, no pressure style is refreshing.
My wife and I purchased an Atlas from here a couple years ago and had an excellent experience.. In fact so good and when we had it here for our second scheduled maintenance(Parts/Service team ππΌ) I ended up getting a new Passat for my daily driver. Hats off to Doug Vannatter for helping me find what I needed and being a master of your craft. Thanks to everyone at Spitzer Volkswagen and keep up the great work!
Took my 15 gli in my hesitation to start and they told me a carbon cleaning needed done. Charged me around 680 dollars for that. Then guess what only 3 days later makes the same EXACT SOUND so I take it back and then they said a FI was stuck open. Okay fair enough maybe they missed it. Still wondering how the carbon cleaning actually affected my car. But anyways I found one little socket under my hood and kinda dirty but beside that one week after picking up the second time and my car makes more sounds. When they said EVERYTHING was in good condition. Take your car here for warranty work go to a different German shop that works on everything.
I was very pleases with the service provided by Filip Manasiev. He was prompt, courteous and friendly. He provided the appropriate information and answered all of my questions.
Just a note to commend Filip Manasiev and the entire staff of Spitzer VW for the great service we received recently. Our car was pulled into the bay not more than 5 minutes after we arrived for our appointment. The workwas performed efficiently and everyone was very professional.
Absolutely LOVE my new Volkswagen Jetta! Doug Vannatter did a wonderful job helping me find exactly what I wanted! The overall process was quick and painless! I will certainly come back to this dealership for my future car needs!!
My husband has purchased a few VW cars from this dealership. He convinced me to take a look at the Taos. One look and a test drive convinced me the car was a perfect fit. Everyone at Spitzer made the buying process simple and quick. Thanks for having a terrific team!
Douglas Vannatter and the team were amazing. They did not try to up-sell me or give us the run around. Douglas was beyond accommodating and great with our kids that we had to bring to the dealership as well. Iβll be doing business with him in the future.
Doug was the best to work with! He made the entire process smooth and enjoyable! Anything he promised, happened! I would highly recommend working with Doug and this dealership! I drove over an hour (even though there is a Volkswagen Dealership 3 minutes from my house) to work with them specifically and I would do it over & over again!
We recently bought a car here and I highly recommend working with Doug--incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. I left something important at home that I needed to complete the transaction (and my wife had already left with our old car), and Doug personally drove me back to my house to get what I needed. He doesnt work on commission, so I never felt like he was trying to upsell me. 10/10 would visit again!
Doug was great to deal with and being this is my second time dealing with VW Spitzer, I was extremely happy with the entire process. Thank you.
I worked with Douglas Vannatter for the purchase of a GLI. Experience was great. Spoke with him on the phone and when I arrived all of the paper work was completed, I just had to sign a few things. Doug was knowledgeable and straight to the point, he also treated my wife and infant well.
Ashly at Spitzer was more than accommodating in my experience and purchase of a new vehicle along with everyone else I interacted with. would recommend the dealership overall
Ashley Arnold was a joy to work with. Shes very knowledgeable regarding her product line and knows how to make the entire process efficient, smooth and enjoyable. Another credit to the team is John Tulley (hope I have his name correct....if not, my apologies) went great lengths to end the sale on a high note. Thank you.....
Chico was phenomenal to work with! He took the time to go over the entire vehicle with me and answer my endless questions. It literally took me months to find a vehicle I loved and I was able to drive it home today β€οΈ
Doug V. is the VW guy! He helped show me the features on a 2022 VW Taos and really wanted me to find a VW that fit my needs rather than trying to fit me to any specific car. Laid back salesperson. Happy to be back in the VW ecosystem after years away!
My husband and I were leaving a different dealership from looking at something else. Unhappy and offended we decided to stop here heading back home. I know exactly what I was looking for being that I have always owned a VW. There she was! My Atlas! Doug Vannatter made the buying process so easy and we left there very happy! Thank you!!
I recently purchased a Volkswagen Tiguan from this dealership in June of 2021 and from then until now Iβve only had the vehicle in my possession for about 15 maybe 20 days. They did not inform me on prior issues with the vehicle and when I took it in for repairs they did not update the issues in their system correctly. They just gave me different loaner cars and different technicians who failed to address the problems. The cars emergency brake comes on while driving on the freeway which slows the car down immediately and a few other issues. It is now August 2nd, 2021 and my check engine light is on. Iβve driven Volkswagens for a while now and have never experienced these type of lazy issues with a dealership. Iβd say proceed with caution if you do visit them or just go to a different one all together and save yourself the time and energy because for a woman that is 6 months pregnant and with a 9year old son they did not seem to care about our safety.Iβve also called the dealership numerous times to speak with the managers and they are never available.
LOVE my new Volkswagen Jetta GLI! Doug Vannatter did an amazing job helping me find the exact trim level I wanted! The process was very easy and painless! I will come back to this dealership and sales professional for my future car needs!!
I recently bought my Jetta from Doug Vannatter and had a great experience. He quickly found a car I liked and could afford. Everything went smoothly. He answered all my questions and was helpful as I learned to drive my new car. Thank you!
We came on to look at a vehicle we found online. Unfortunately, that vehicle was sold before we got there. Doug took his time with us and listen to what we were looking for. They were able to work with us to get us in a new car at price point we were comfortable with. The process was sooo easy. We bought a car in just a few short hours and had we not test drove a few would have been even less. Thank you Doug and everyone else who helped out!
My service experiences at Spitzer VW have always been excellent. Dave Hans is always helpful and is good at explaining what needs to be done.
Doug Vannatter was awesome and Iβll be back to see him with my kid. Great work guys ππ½
Ashly was one of the most friendly and transparent sales people I have ever worked with. She went above and beyond to work with me on what I was looking for. if you are in the market for a new car, go to Spitzer VW and ask for Ashly!
Ashly Arnold was AMAZING!!! She provided excellent customer service and was extremely attentive to my wants/needs. She even went as far as to come in on her day off to accommodate my schedule!!!! I β€ her and Spitzer VW πππ
All great and the assistance of Douglas Vannatter even better
I had the opportunity to work with Ashly Arnold during my search for a new Volkswagen Jetta, and the experience was seamless and wonderful! She was able to locate a specific Jetta I wanted that was not on their lot quickly and had it delivered in a timely manner. I did not have much knowledge about Volkswagen vehicles prior, but Ashly was very knowledgable and informative, which made me more comfortable about my purchase. The car buying process was handled professionally without any hassle involved, and was transparent throughout! I highly recommend going through this dealership, and more so, request Ashly as she is friendly, attentive, helpful, and efficient.
Great experience! Staff was very friendly and accommodating (thanks to Doug, Brandon and John). They made our process of getting a new leased Tiguan very smooth and enjoyable! 10/10- would recommend!
I just want to send out a thank you to all the great people at Spitzer of Amherst that worked with me on trading in my SUV in order to purchase a updated model.First I spoke with Brandon who did not stop until he found a Tiguan that fit all my needs, then I worked with John the financial manager who also stepped up to help me get the best loan and service agreement. Last but not least Chico made sure I had all my stuff put into my new car and that he made sure I had gas and detailed the carfor me.He even followed up with a phone call to see if I had any questions.Everyone was great!!
David Hans and the service crew at the Spitzer Volkswagen dealership in Amherst, Ohio, are GREAT! Always timely, efficient, considerate, reliable, and patient in their explanations. Thank you!
Doug was great to work with. I had an overall great experience!
Purchased my 2018 VW Atlas today with the help from Ashley. Coming from out of state, Ashley took care of us and made sure we were finished in a timely matter while still throughly going over the details. She made the car buying experience smooth for us, which we greatly appreciate. Keep up the great work Ashley, you rock!!!!
Doug and Paul were wonderful. We feel we received VIP treatment.
Big thanks to Doug and Spitzer VW for getting me into a great ride at an affordable price! Highly recommend!
Had to order a replacement car key and the service we had was way above expectation. We were experiencing a hard ship after a key was lost in snow and they got us back to being mobile in less than 48 hours of our car having to be towed. Charles was our service rep and he was amazing.
Great service as always from Dave Hans and his team in Service.
I purchased a 2020 Tiguan last October and within 7 months of ownership my car is completely broken. My EPC and engine light came on and my vehicle will not exceed past 6 mph. I called Doug Vannatter, the salesman responsible for the disaster, who provided no resolutions and only attitude. Mr. Vannatter also failed to notify me when my title was being sent via mail and in turn was lost. Upon reaching out to him, I was told that only one could be sent. Communication with their customers is obviously not their top priority. I am very disappointed with my experience here, especially for a decently priced car. Would not recommend this dealership to anyone looking for friendly service or a reliable vehicle.
I purchased a 2020 Jetta GLI from Spitzer Volkswagen of Amherst. Doug Vannatter was my salesmen and made the process extremely easy. He was very professional throughout the process and worked hard to get me the best deal possible. The dealership was very upfront with the pricing and rebates which was highly appreciated. No dealer pricing games to get you in the door. If youβre looking for a new vehicle I would recommend you go see Doug, you wonβt be disappointed.
Great experience at Spitzer VW. The service manager was professional and attentive to my needs in a prompt manner. Obviously he has great experience in what he does. The service tech had great experience with my electronic issue and knew how to complete all of the confirmatory tests. The appropriate parts were ordered. Great service experience.
Always fast and friendly service David Hans always very informative thank you
The service staff at Spitzer vw are awesome, David Hans is super nice, knowledgeable and easy to work with, the mechanic dude Johnny, went above and beyond to answer my questions and make sure I had the best experience possible. Will definitely be back!
Made use of the service department for some updates and repairs to my VW GTI. This was handled by David Hans and he did a fine job scheduling me in, getting me a ride back home, keeping me up to date on the progress, etc. The car runs much better, so I think the technician also did a fine job. Overall a good experience.
We always receive excellent service at Spitzer VW. David Hans is knowledgable and answers any questions we have.
I would like to thank John and Ashley for their excellent service. I was given the best care and help with finding me an affordable car. Thanks for taking the time to clearly help me understand the process. Thank you
Polite and friendly, I was window shopping and never thought I would be driving a new vehicle home. Ashley did a great job acknowledging and aligning our needs for a new vehicle! We love our new Atlas and look forward to doing business with them in the future.
I was given great service by Spitzer for the replacement of my VW battery. The time from opening the work order to closing it when the job was complete was 20 minutes (printed right on the bill). They informed me of the total cost of the installed battery before the installation which I happily agreed to. The price of the battery was comparable to other providers, however I was surprised by the itemized bill at the high installation cost which was $59.95 (that is about $180/hr.) there was also an additional fee of $6.00 listed as Customer Pay Shop Charge for Repair Order. That sounds like the cost of the paperwork to do the work. I expected an installation charge, but that was a bit much.
Thanks to Doug and the Team there at Spitzer VW. Very patient with me, and made the buying process fast and easy.
I saw a 2019 Subaru WRX STi for sale at the dealership. Gave them a call and a few days later, that worked for my schedule, went in for a test drive. A few hours later I was driving it home.Thank you Doug and everyone for making the purchase easy and stress free. They had someone fill up the car before I left and I was on the road.Returned two weeks later for the Spitzer Care and the car is now coating protected for a few years.Everyone was very nice.Thanks again!
Fantastic service! Doug helped my family find a Tiguan that suited our needs and was efficient in getting us all of the information and letting us test drive our options. If youβre looking for a Volkswagen, Spitzer is the place to go!
Ashly was wonderful to deal with. The whole process was quick and easy!
It was a pleasure to work Rennae Leigh at Spitzer VW. She was polite, professional and prompt in answering my calls and questions. If she wasnt sure of something, she knew exactly which team member to ask. Rennae, with a little help from Brandon, handled my paperwork and I was in my new car in no time!
Great experience purchasing my new Golf from Spitzer VW Amherst. My interaction started with Dustin online who was able to confirm the vehicle I wanted to test drive was available, and set up my appointment.When I arrived, I was greeted by Steve Bush and the GM Todd Meek. The car was already pulled up and ready for me to test drive, as promised. Steve was extremely knowledgeable on the product, and as a car guy I especially appreciated that.Todd and Steve were able to give my trade-in a fair market appraisal that I was happy with, and also a great deal on my new Golf. Bryan the F&I manger was also a pleasure to work with. After spending a few years in auto sales, I understand and appreciate the value in excellent customer service and I look forward to working with the VW Amherst team in the future.
I had a great experience working with Ashly on on purchasing my GTI. Thanks for everything!
Went to the dealership in search of three different cars. Salesman, Doug, was fantastic and very helpful but was hamstrung by the fact that neither of the first two cars were wanted to look at were available even though they were listed online. One car was missing a part and they had no timetable was available for repair. The other car we were told didnt have enough logged miles to sale. Once we found a car that was suitable and asked the salesman for the promotional 0% apr, which we qualified for, the man initially running the numbers declined to give us that rate and instead tried to give us a loan in the way of 4 to 5%. Once taking the car we learned the next day that the Car-Net module was out. After sitting in the service center for 3 hours the very rude man in the service department Dave told us they couldnt figure out its as if its coded in hieroglyphics and that they were closing and wed have to schedule to come back. They didnt have a loaner or anything to help after all of this. Called Ganley immediately upon leaving, they allowed us to drop the car off the next day and keep a loaner until they finished the repair. Never heard back to schedule again with spitzer service.
Shoutout to my dude Doug for hooking me up with my new car. Very helpful and very friendly. Brandon at the front desk helped greatly with estimates. Great experience at this establishment.
We just purchased a Golf Sportswgen from Ashly and while she is new to selling cars, sheβs got great customer service. When she needed more information, she found it. We came in, everything was ready to go and within an hour we wrapped up the process!
Bought a 2016 Chevy trax with the help of Rennae. She was very professional, but also very helpful with my purchase. If youβre looking for the best help and also making the process enjoyable. Definitely ask for Rennae.
Terrible experience! Wish I could give zero star!Very shady way operating. Sales offered a low price to get us in the door and refused to honor it even though I have their email with the quote in front of them. It was a long drive and they didnt care! The salespersons manager refused to talk to us about the last minute price increase and basically told us to take it or leave it. Said that their original quote included rebates that well need to qualify for. Wont return and will warn all my friends and family to stay away from this scam!Oh, by the way. They didnt want to run a credit check to see what rate any bank would offer, after we asked them to do so multiple times. Tried to push their own financing and forced us to pick upfront how much we want to pay per month, without even honoring their original quote!
Ashly was an amazing sales lady who tried to get me approved even though i knew I had no credit and Ill be back to see her soon!
Had a great experience leasing my new Tiguan here! Ben was my salesperson and he was very helpful, friendly, and efficient. I would definitely recommend this dealership.
I had a recent visit to Spitzer Volkswagen for a 10, 000 mile maintenance and oil change. Dave Hans was my service contact. Upon arrive he greeted me with respect as a new customer. Explained what was entailed in the 10,000 mie checkup and suggested a wheel rotation, which I acepted.Once vehicle was completed, Dave explained the process again, and thanked me for my business. All in all a very professional experience.Don Jones
First time to this service department in Amherst. The staff is friendly and service oriented. Will certainly be back!
I would love to thank Cheeko & John for helping my fiance and I. We needed a vehicle ASAP and they came through with a same day delivery as a test drive and they gave us excellent customer service! Thank you to the Spitzer VW amherst team of taking great care of us. We will be coming back for our next!
Amazing staff! Up front worked well with us and patient with our family. Made appointment Atlas was waiting sanitized and ready on time for my test drive. Left my GMC Acadia for the VW Atlas and have no regrets from the Spitzer experience to the SUV quality itself.
Went to Spitzer Volkswagen for the first time last week to have our VW looked over as well as to have a recall fixed. We were met by David Hans upon arrival. He was very friendly, respectful, knowledgeable, patient, and explained things in an easy to understand way.
I wanted to thank Doug Vannatter for his quick assistance in helping us choose our Volkswagen Passat in a very short period of time! We really love our car!
Spitzer VW in Amherst, Ohio helped me to get into a 2017 Jetta SE in December 2020. Rennae Leigh and Brandon Brletich assisted me from beginning to end. I am happy with my ¨new to me¨ Certified VW. Check them out!
My wife and I traded in both of our vehicles for new Jettas. Our salesman Doug did a fantastic job and was very friendly. Brandon and John got us great financing, even with credit blemishes. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend them to anyone. They were not pushy at all, very professional. We will gladly give them our business again when we are ready to trade in.
Thanks Dave Hans! You always take great card of me!!
We had such a wonderful experience when purchasing a new VW Atlas. The sales rep - Igor - was fantastic, super friendly, really wanted to make sure we got what we wanted. They gave us an absolute fair price on our trade in, didnβt play games with us, gave us a great price on the new car right from the get go. Every person that we interacted with (which was 5!) was super friendly and made the experience one that we would happily repeat. We will absolutely be coming back here next time weβre ready for another new car.
I have always been pleased with the service I get here!
Worked with Doug on our 2021 Atlas Cross Sport Purchase. He was quite knowledgeable on all of the Volkswagens. Got us in the right car with no pressure. Thanks.
We had a very pleasant experience at Spitzer VW in Amherst. Doug Vanatter was thorough, efficient and listened to what we wanted in a car. It seemed like we spent very little time at the dealership.
As a Volkswagen enthusiast, I have visited quite a few different dealerships but Spitzer amherst is the place to be. You donβt need to drive to Bedford or further for wonderful people and service. Upon our arrival to spitzer, we were greeted at the door by Doug V who immediately asked if he could get us water or coffee, he was great with our 2 kids as well. The entire place was clean and all employees were wearing masks. We explained to Doug we wanted to trade our Audi in for a new Volkswagen suv. He immediately brought two beautiful suvs to our attention and worked numbers before ever running our credit. There was no gimmicks, no smoke, it was like doing business with family. Also John the finance manager went out of his way to make sure the numbers worked for us. Within an hour or so after deciding, papers were signed and we were on our way. I absolutely look forward to continuing my business with them. Iβm beyond satisfied.
I can always count on Dave Hans and the guys for a friendly and comprehensive service experience on my two VWs. I am preparing to purchase my third VW and my overwhelming choice is Spitzer, in no small part to Daves efforts. My wife particularly trusts his judgement and service recommendations. Great job ... as usual!
My lease expired and I purchased the car. Everyone from sales, finance and service gave me excellent service, done very quickly. The overall experience at Spitzer Volkswagen in Amherst was the best possible. Thanks to everyone for a great experience.
David Hans, in service department, always assures that my service, whether a recall repair or oil change, is done in a timely and efficient manner! Trey does awesome detailing too! Absolutely the best automotive service in Lorain and Cuyahoga counties. Great team at Spitzer Amherst!
Igor is very helpful in finding what youre looking for in a vehicle! Hes helped me with my past two cars and has not let me down.
Scott Scolaro did a fantastic job of servicing my Jetta when an indicator light came on. He quickly diagnosed it and informed me that it was covered under a factory warranty and would be of no cost to me for the repair. It was seamless and efficient. I love Spitzer & believe their customer service is exceptional!
Spitzer has always been very personable and professional to me. David Hans of the Service Department is always helpful, honest and knowledgeable to any questions I have. I just received an oil change last week and when I went to pick up my car...David had left it inside so I didnt have to go out in rain... David cares about the customer.
Igor Manasiev was my salesperson, and he was great. Very helpful and provided great service.The entire experience was excellent, quick, pain-free experience. I will refer anyone looking for a VW or Chevy. Thanks.
I bought my 2019 Jetta from Spitzer VW & I have no complaints! The car has so many great features and rides very nice. Igor in sales was super helpful and went out of his way to make my car buying experience easy! Would recommend to anyone looking for a new or used car!
Recently bought a new car from Spitzer Volkswagen. Igor Manasiev was the best sales professional. Provided top notch service and really knows his stuff about these cars. Would definitely buy here again and recommend to friends.
AWESOME! Best VW service in the area. I came from Cleveland. Very happy.
I have leased 2 vehicles from Spitzer and have had great experiences both times. Igor has always been very helpful taking his time explaining things and answering all of my questions without being pushy. Highly recommend!
I went in to look at a vehicle advertised at $39,000. By the time the salesman, Jeffery Washington and the sales manager had finished trying to talk the car up they gave me a price for $60,000 (including a set of wheels I did ask for but they were up charging by more than double the customer cost of the wheels) before any credit check. They also tried to switch the length of the payment term from 60 to 84 without mentioning it. The dealership seems to have done a complete overhaul of sales people and managers and it was not for the better.
Sales did a great job, thanks to Igor but their service department was completely rude and terrible. They dont listen to their customers needs they just rush things and dont properly fix your issues. Had to take my new VW car to another dealer to fix my problems.
Reliable, capable, friendly
Be careful when dealing with the sales department. They tell you what they need to in order to get you in the door even if they know you have a long drive. Typical shady car salesmen. Watch out for Doug.
I had my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta service there. Dave in the service department. Treating me very well. They got me in right away for my repair. Very happy the servers I had done. I would recommend people there anytime. Thank you
Igor was very professional and helpful in me buying my 17 passat r line. Walked us through the car, made sure I was good and happy with the purchase and the finance guys worked magic and I will most definitely deal with them from here on out. I look forward to dealing with them again for a second car to upgrade my better halfs car so she doesnt steal mine
Douglas Vannatter Was an allstar! Very cognizant of my time and saved me so much hassle with insurance delays. Definitely recommend
Once again another great experience with Spitzer. I was always pleased with the service at the Mitz dealership, but with them closing I was a bit apprehensive with going to a different dealership, even though in the same organization. Once the receptionist informed that some of the Mitz mechanics were at this location, I felt a little bit more at ease. Once the service job was finished and I spoke with Scott, I knew I had made the right decision. Once again top notch service from Spitzer!!!
SERVICE WAS THE GREATEST THANK YOU
