We just returned from an 8000 km trip to the go of the Baja peninsula and back. Our truck was looking worse for wear and needed a service badly. And then there was the snow. As we crossed the border our first call was to the Honda Way. The very next day the Honda Way found time to service and detail the truck and install our snow tires. Such amazing service. So appreciated.

Not friendly, long wait, wrong parts. - Mach1

Have only been in here twice for oil filters for my Mazda 3 but both times the parts guy was unfriendly, and even though it was not busy I had to wait a long time. The first time they gave me the wrong oil filters. Not impressed.

Best experience when I took my Mache in for a glitch fix. - Amrit

Best experience when I took my Mache in for a glitch fix. Sai explained the process and the time it would take. They arranged a Uber ride home from shop and ride back once work completed. It was seamless. When I was waiting to get the results of the diagnostic, Sai came by in waiting area to see if I wanted coffee. Nice touch. Also, they washed my car and cleaned the interior. I am totally impressed and my experience was awesome. When I told my husband, he wanted to drop by and bring then cookies to thank them for taking care of his wife. lol. Thank you Titanium staff, especially Sai.

Vancouver VW is wonderful! - smlsullivan

Vancouver VW is wonderful! I have purchased several Golfs from them. Each time the process of purchase has been a pleasure. The salespersons are excellent. They know their cars well and make the sales procedure enjoyable. The service advisors are friendly and thoughtful. They work hard to make a visit to VW productive. I have had the privilege of working with Mickey Huang and Matt Ogglesby. On recent visits Tina Soyles has been my advisor. She is absolutely fantastic! She offers the best service that anyone could ever desire. It is with joy that I can recommend Vancouver VW very highly! Dr. Shirley Sullivan

I had a recall for a wire in my vehicle that needed to be - rhiannondavies_

I had a recall for a wire in my vehicle that needed to be replaced. I have a busy schedule and the mechanic at the shop I booked the appointment with assured me this would only take him 30 mins as I worked the day I booked the appointment. When I arrived at the shop they told me it would take over an hour and a half, I replied “oh the mechanic on the phone said it would only take 30 minutes” The mechanic replied that the reason it would take so long was because they were having a shop meeting. Now I wouldn’t have been annoyed if the reason they couldn’t work on my car in the time promised was because they were busy or backed up.. but because they were just having a meeting? Why even book me in during a meeting? The mechanic then offered to rebook me at a different time. He did not apologize for the inconvenience (I live an hour away) and was very blunt “they are having a meeting so ya there’s nothing I can do about that” I am not even surprised because this type of lack of customer service and disorganization is very typical for this dealership. But maybe don’t book people during an hour long meeting in your shop? just a thought?

As always my interactions with the crew were excellent - Tina

As always my interactions with the crew were excellent thorough service, friendly, helpful, informative and just plain fun. Lol. Probably not a term used alot for a business. But they are a crew with a great sense of humor!!!! I always say why not have fun while doing business - and they certainly deliver!!!! It's part of what keeps us coming back. :)

Will not deal with Vernon VW ever, ordered another key - UnseenAcres

Will not deal with Vernon VW ever, ordered another key FOB for my car, they sold me a knock of FOB at VW price of $350. They couldn't get the FOB programmed to work, wanted me to spend another $500. Went to another company and it was done within 30 minutes but I had to put out another $150. Could have ordered the knock off FOB myself off amazon for $100. No gesture of compensation or refund made by the company.

We bought our 2016 Mazda 3 GT Sport new at VIP Mazda in... - michaeljosephcarroll

We bought our 2016 Mazda 3 GT Sport new at VIP Mazda in 2016. All of the scheduled maintenance was done, on time, by VIP except for the last oil change. The engine seized at 114k kms. The VIP Mazda service manger told me that the engine had thrown a rod and put a hole in the block. He also told me that this had happened because the engine wasn’t lubricated… even though there was no “low engine oil pressure” light warning or valve lifter noise. He then quickly went on to blame the reputable garage where a licensed mechanic preformed the last oil change. I asked the service manager how much oil was in the engine and was told that there was no way to know as the technician had removed the oil pan already. VIP went on record on Facebook later saying “Our Mazda Canada Certified Master Technician inspected the vehicle.…the technician noted that although the engine was seized the oil was 0.5L over full.” Mmm…so which is it? I was then quoted $5780 to replace the engine with one that had 100k kms on it. There was no offer to help or any show of good faith from VIP Mazda whatsoever. I guess, after 5 years, they figured they had gotten what they could from us. This is an excerpt from a letter we received from Mazda Canada; “V.I.P. Mazda has advised us that they would be happy to help the with the cost of the repairs – by giving a better price, but there would be no involvement from the manufacturer. We thank you for the opportunity to review.” We had another mechanic replace the engine for one with a lot less kms and less money. Upon further inspection of the original engine, it turns out, a bolt from the crankshaft bearing cap failed. The head of the bolt broke off and was pushed through the aluminum block by the connecting rod. Probably a poor casting but certainly a factory flaw. Clearly none of this happened because of a lack of lubrication. It was a factory defect. Had the “Mazda Canada Certified Master Technician” spent just 30 minutes more, he would have seen the flaw…but they couldn’t be bothered. This is a dealership that will absolutely turn their back on you as soon as it appears that you have become less profitable. I find their dishonesty shocking and disgusting.
