Darcars charged me more than $2,000 in repairs, only to hand me a broken car back. I had to go to another VW dealer who confirmed that the prior repair was botched and had to be redone. (Darcars also tried hand me a broken car back. I had to go to another VW dealer who confirmed that the prior repair was botched and had to be redone. (Darcars also tried to have me replace parts that didn’t need it to buy themselves more time to fix what they’d broken.) I’ve raised this issue with Darcars repeatedly in private and received no reply. The only acceptable reply now would be “we will refund your money for the parts we broke.” If that’s not part of the reply below, take your business elsewhere. More
After being a loyal customer for 10 years, they tried to charge me 40% more than the price listed on their own website for a part I needed replaced. The part not including labor was listed at about $2300 on charge me 40% more than the price listed on their own website for a part I needed replaced. The part not including labor was listed at about $2300 on their parts website (which is already $600 more than the recommended Kelley Blue Book price that did include the labor cost) but they told me in person the price was $3200 before an additional $1450 for labor. When I asked about the discrepancy I wasn’t given a straight answer and was simply told it’s their right to up charge for parts and labor. Ended up taking my car somewhere else. Do not get your car fixed here! More
DARCARS Assurance ($2,495) is optional Buyer beware: No matter how hard the sales manager tries to upsell you the “DARCARS Assurance,” keep in mind this $2,500 service is completely optional. I rece No matter how hard the sales manager tries to upsell you the “DARCARS Assurance,” keep in mind this $2,500 service is completely optional. I recently went to buy a car at DARCARS at Silver Spring and when we went to finalize the transaction, a surprise charge of $2,500 was added to our bill. Keep in mind that this is not a service we requested nor wanted. We asked the sales consultant if it was optional and she said it was. Then, the sales manager clearly undermined her and stated it was NOT an optional service. I was ready to walk away from the transaction as it was very dishonest and underhanded. Luckily, we discussed this with the finance manager and with support from the general manager, he was able to rectify the situation and remove the $2,500 charge from the bill. If you are going to buy a car from this dealership, please ask for all charges upfront, so that you do not end up with a $2,500 surprise, as the sales manager is going to try very hard to sell it to you. Remember, DARCARS Assurance is optional, not mandatory. More
So angry! Found perfect car right in my range not over my cap. Then told me I HAD to take their Assurance plan for 2,400+ dollars. That it was policy. I didn’t Found perfect car right in my range not over my cap. Then told me I HAD to take their Assurance plan for 2,400+ dollars. That it was policy. I didn’t want nor need it was a 5 year old car! They offered me more for the trade in but would not take off the Assurance. I guess 20,000 dollars is peanuts now. She knew my cap and I was right there with my trade in and taxes and tags. Worst of all, I still want that car. It’s been on the lot for 97 days it said online. I fell in love and it wasn’t even what I went in for. Why?? Why be the stereotypical car dealers. I haven’t worked in over 2 years due to the pandemic and am just starting to get my company up and running. And I would like to get a semi new car as my car is 16years old! Now I will get some apology here but still doesn’t get me my car. I was ready to sign and pay. Why would u do that? Oh right it’s a sellers market for cars. Hope u get that 2 grand more. Wish I could just get someone else at another Darcars to sell it to me. As I did call one to see if that Assurance thing was real. Guess what? NO it is not!! So disappointed. More
DONT SERVICE YOUR CAR HERE!!!!!I took my 2019 Tiguan DONT SERVICE YOUR CAR HERE!!!!! I took my 2019 Tiguan with 72k miles in for service this morning and was quoted $145 for an oil change. I get my car DONT SERVICE YOUR CAR HERE!!!!! I took my 2019 Tiguan with 72k miles in for service this morning and was quoted $145 for an oil change. I get my car serviced at Volkswagen dealerships only and this was the worst experience I have ever had. This service at other dealerships is $79.95 and my vehicle only takes 6 quarts of oil. This dealership charged me for 7 quarts of oil adding almost $10 in parts to my bill. I asked the service writer to give me a discount and he generously took $4.50 off my bill (down to $140) after overcharging me by $9.75 in parts and more in labor. TO THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THIS DEALERSHIP: Your Service Consultant Herbert Carrillo cost you the estimated $1200 I was going to spend at my 80k mile service interval....all for a $9.60 quart of oil and a $20 overcharge.

With car shopping being in my top three list of most disliked activities, I write this review with a sincere smile on face thinking - BUT this time, it wasn't so bad. I had the pleasure of working with disliked activities, I write this review with a sincere smile on face thinking - BUT this time, it wasn't so bad. I had the pleasure of working with Aurel Maceda at DARCARS Silver Spring in purchasing my new VW Atlas Cross Sport. He was very knowledgeable, easy going, and worked with me every step of the way to close the deal. I highly recommend Aurel "R" and DARCARS VW in Silver Spring! More
