What Drivers Say
Reviews left by customers, shown with their original source.
“One of the things I normally dread and dislike most about going to auto dealerships is the sheer amount of time it takes to get in and out the door. It usually takes at least several hours, sometimes half a day or more, to discuss, negotiate, and bring a vehicle home. However, my experience with Anthony was markedly different. He was extremely efficient and a pleasure to work with from start-to-finish. We were able to complete all the due diligence in record time. I highly recommend Anthony if you are shopping for your next vehicle.”
“After buying multiple cars over the years, I can honestly say I’ve never had an experience quite like the one I had today with Volkswagen. From the moment I walked in, the entire team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely committed to making the process smooth and enjoyable. Their level of care and attention truly reflects the white-glove service they provide from beginning to end. I especially want to thank Sergio, Dennis, David, and Anthony for their outstanding support, transparency, and kindness throughout the entire experience. The team at Volkswagen is truly 10/10. If you’re looking for a dealership that treats customers with respect and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend them. Based on this experience, I’m already looking forward to working with them again in the future.”
“I am a long term VW owner and had my sights set on a new Jetta. My current one has more than 125,000 miles and still drives like a champ. However, it's time to reaearch a new one. I looked at every VW lot from my hometown of Santa Clarita all the way to AZ and NV. Anthony Reyes at this location is gold. He helped me reaearch and price all my options. A career in accounting has taught me to always look at all the numbers: fuel efficiency, maintenance cost, insurance cost, monthly payment, total payment over the life of the contract, all of that. Honest salespeople who truly value their customers will always disclose these up front. In fact, I've walked off many a car lot when they can't or won't. Anthony Reyes didn't give up or become frustrated when I proposed various scenarios. He helped my husband and I choose the best vehicle which ended up being a Jetta SE. I love the car but even more than that it gets great mileage! Anthony and his manager Chris are down to earth,likeable and honest people. Do yourself a favor and bring them all your business. They truly deserve it.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Volkswagen research, Lease Match and leasing basics.
Lease Match asks three quick questions: which Volkswagen interests you (or whether you would like help deciding), what matters most to you, and your timeframe. It compares your answers with published Volkswagen specifications, such as seating, cargo space, fuel economy and horsepower, and shows up to three models with the reasons behind each one. You see your matches without entering any contact details.
No. Lease Match does not ask about your budget, calculate payments, check credit, or quote offers. Actual lease terms depend on the lender and are provided in writing by the selling dealership.
Choose an allowance close to how you actually drive. Common allowances are 7,500, 10,000, 12,000 and 15,000 miles per year. Picking too few miles can lead to excess-mileage charges at lease end, while picking far more than you need means paying for miles you never use.
There is no single required score. Lease approval and terms are set by the lender and depend on your full credit profile, income and other factors. A personal conversation can help you understand your options before you start shopping.
You can typically return the vehicle, purchase it for the price set in your lease contract, or lease another vehicle. Normal wear is expected, but excess wear and mileage beyond your allowance may be charged.
The Volkswagen Atlas is the three-row SUV in the 2026 lineup, with seating for seven. The Atlas Cross Sport is a two-row midsize SUV with a large cargo area.
