    Default Best Volkswagen Dealer in Calgary?

    Hi all,

    Looking at replacing my GTI that's coming off lease with a Golf Alltrack. Previously I dealt with Gary Moe, thanks to Redlyne working there, but since he no longer is, I don't want to deal with the hassle of going up to Red Deer. Does anyone have a preferred sales contact at Northland VW, CHVW, or 5th Ave Autohaus?

    Thanks,
    LDS

    I was ideally going to cross-shop all 3. I already know exactly what I want, I just want to see who can give me the best numbers (ideally cost+500 or some freebies).

    Northland left the transport suspension pucks in my car after delivery. I got the deal I wanted through them when I bought the car but ended up moving to South Centre VW for any service/warranty work.

    I bought my Alltrack from South Centre. Happy with the sales process and service so far. Initially I went to 5th Ave to find a silk blue metallic alltrack but they couldn't secure one in a timely manner - somehow South Centre could. My sales person at South Centre wasn't particularly knowledgeable when I threw some technical questions his way though.

    From my understanding, South center and 5th ave are the same owner. Either way, it's far enough from me, that at this point, I'm excluding it.

    I know the worst. Northland haha. Even though I live in NW, I went SC back in the day for all service. Northland is that bad.

    Had to go to Northland 5 times for an issue that they couldn't fix. Went to 5th once and it was corrected..

    I've been going to 5th ave for service, until CHVW opened, and I was there for the last service on my GTI. I'll likely continue that trend, but I heard Northland sales was fine to deal with?

    Ultimately comes down to who you are dealing with as ppl seem to get shuffled around. Tbh I don't think I have heard anything good about Northland

    I've always gone to SC VW and they have treated me well the past decade but I'm moving on from VW. Going back to Subaru for my next work car.

    I had a pretty decent experience buying from both Northland and Gary Moe. I haven't used either of those for service, however.
    The VW dealerships in Edmonton are awful compared to the rest of the province.

    Ended up dealing with Northland.
    Sent 10 emails back and forth with 5th ave, before I even got "retail" numbers.
    Never heard back from CHVW at all.
    Northland immediately responded to my email, called me, essentially promised me what I wanted, and set up a date for a test drive, and to come in. Very accommodating.
    I never told any of them that they were competing with each other, as that wasn't my intent.

    That's almost my experience with sales from all three except the guy at 5th ave didn't seem interested in talking to me so I just left.
    I ended up buying from Northland.

    That's brutal that a dealer never even got back to you. That should never, ever, ever happen in the auto industry. There's no dealership busy enough in this economy that they can't get back to you.

    Let’s be real. The dealership quotes a price and you use it as a bargaining chip. Personally the business needs to change to one pricing where a reasonable margin is in place to keep everyone but the hard core internet shopper happy.
    Love cars and cycling. Not your typical car salesman.

    Toyota tried this with “Access Pricing”

    I wasn’t in the industry at the time to comment first hand on this, but from what I heard it was a shit show

    We have been trained on overstock clearance deals and dealership mistrust that fixed price policy will never fly.

    Never dealt with Northland personally but friend had tons of problem with them with servicing his old Golf.
