I like the ease of going to Crestmont - there is never any hidden issues popping up which is appreciated . The people who I dealt with are always up front and willing to help anyway possible . read more

Great experience - in and out for a service call. Dave and the team were attentive. Thank you Crestmont team!

Rob C always delivers the goods. I drive 40 minutes from Bergen County to do my leasing or financing of VW at Crestmont. I have only dealt with the VW sales but they also have a Toyota dealer on the property. I wouldn't consider another dealer or sales person. They can make you comfortable, happy, and even let your guard down. Great deals, great timing, great job at making it feel like family. read more

Excellent service Staff told me exactly what they needed to do! Dealership clean and comfortable for waiting if needed! I bypass other dealerships because of the trust I have in this one CE read more

Trying to actully speak with someone in next to impossible! I had left a messaage for Donna art the service department. No responce! I had left a call back number and an operator trys to sign me up for life alert. Called the next day and finally spoke with Donna. I was placed on hold and was told I had to wait 3 weeks for service. Horrendous customer service. read more

Easy to get a car there! Landon was amazing! Anyone looking for a VW should go there.

Bought our new Volkswagen Tiguan there!!! Loooooved!! Robert was great!!! Everyone was accommodating!

As ever, wonderful service at Crestmont. We have been clients for many years and, whether sales or service or parts, have always had great experiences with the dealership! Their professionalism and expertise are unrivaled. Any individual considering VW ownership need look no further - Crestmont VW is the complete package! read more

Dave in the service department is a rock star. I am pretty needy when it comes to my car, and every single time I called to check on the progress of my repairs (which was a lot, usually once a day) he was more than happy to explain everything that was going on. I had an issue with corporate VW, which has been rapidly declining in customer service as of late, and Dave fought for me to make sure they could do the repairs necessary. I have purchased cars from Crestmont in the past, and can honestly say I never had a single issue with any of them. Purchasing from another dealer out of convenience was a huge mistake, a car I bought from Reydel in Edison (my current 2019 Jetta) and a car from three county in lyndhurst (2009 Jetta Wolfsburg) both had issues. Every time, I brought those cars to Crestmont service and they fixed them the right way and didn't charge me anywhere near what the other dealers quoted me. Needless to say, I've learned my lesson. I will only use Crestmont when purchasing or servicing a vehicle because they have NEVER disappointed. Shout out to Dave for being the best service manager out there, and to the techs who worked on my car. You guys are rock stars!! read more

made an appointment to have a recall taken care of. It was just the removal of an engine cover but they took my car in at exactly 2:00 pm and I had it back by 2:05! most dealers would have dilly dallied and made me wait an hour before finishing but I was impressed. I was also impressed with the sales department when I purchased the vehicle back in Januay 2025. No games were played and I was in and out in under an hour and a half between the purchase and then going back the following day to pick it up read more

Very happy with my service - quick and efficient and reasonably priced. Scheduling was an easy task and the service department did the needful. read more

Great staff members from sales department to the service department,they are always pleasant. I'm happy to do business with them,Great team.

I have been a loyal customer with Crestmont Volkswagen for over 20 years. Both of my wife's VW's have always been serviced there. She recently had repair work done there totaling just over $2,000.00. I asked them to give us some type of loyal custoner discount. They would not budge in the price at all, giving us the excuse that the paperwork was already printed out. Since we cannot get there to pick up the car during normal business hours, I asked if they would take a credit card over the phone and do a lockout. They said since the price was so high, they would not allow that without a signed authorization form! In the 20 years of taking my wife's car there, I have never EVER had to fill out any type of authorization form for a credit card payment, and we have paid over the phone many times before. Perhaps this new requirement was because I had the audacity to ask for a discount after the paperwork was filled out. This is how Crestmont VW treats its long time loyal customers. I suggest that if you are in the market for a VW, visit any other dealership but Crestmont. This is not how you do customer service. I am saddened their new management has decided to treat their customers so poorly. read more

The Crestmont salesperson promised an out the door price of $39381.63, which was confirmed both by email and text. Less than three hours before I was to pick up my car, said salesperson called and said that he had made a "mistake" adding up the numbers because "he had a lot going on" the day he first made the offer to me. And that the price should really be $2000 MORE than the agreed upon price - $41381.63. He said that he had included the $2000 rebate twice by accident. However, how can a veteran salesperson make this kind of mistake? Isn't it his job to check and double check numbers that he presents to customers? Shouldn't he know the price points, invoice amount, fees and profit margins of the vehicles that he sells? It is nearly impossible to believe the "mistake" explanation of events. More likely that this is nothing less than deceptive, unethical, and the epitome of dishonest business practice. If this really were a mistake, the stand-up move would have been to honor the price. However, salesperson and his manager wouldn't even consider this. I paid a deposit and entered into a good faith agreement with Crestmont VW. But the faith was severely misplaced. read more

Service department: excellent. I've owned two VW vehicles. I do not trust the service department at trend in rockaway, and even though I bought my car in Ramsey I live closer to route 23. Of course it's pricey, but they immediately noticed a problem with my brakes and replaced the rotors and pads immediately because they had everything they needed in stock. Low hassle, no nonsense at a high price point yes but it's the dealership. read more

Their service department awful. I bought my brand new car there 2 years ago. They've sent me home with my transmission concerns without a thorough evaluation and only test drive for 2.5 miles. This time, burning oil and blowing black smoke. Again they were ready to send me on my way saying they didn't find anything visually. Got my diesel mechanic son involved. Long/short, he knew they were jerking me around. They had to take my engine apart to fix the problem and did some update or something on my transmission. Can't be trusted to fix what's wrong if you don't know enough to question them. read more

I made an online appointment for an oil change at 11:00 AM. I arrive at 10:30 AM and am told that I would not be able to be taken until 12:00 PM. I tell them I received an e-mail confirming my appointment but am still told, it doesn't matter and there is nothing they can do. Nothing as frustrating as driving a half hour, arriving a half hour early and being told the car will not be taken until 12:00PM. No respect for a customers time. read more

I began looking for a VW in December 2023. I drove the Atlas and the Atlas Crossport. Loved the Atlas Crossport annd wanted to go ahead with purchasing. The credit manager, who had been in his office during the entire discussion time, conveniently disappeared when I completed my credit application. I was told that I could put a FULLY REFUNDABLE deposit on a vehicle and it would be no problem to get the color that I desired. The credit manager was unavailable and they would get back to me the next business day. The following business day, I heard "crickets". Found the vehicle in the color I wanted on my own and made my deal through another dealer. After requesting a refund twice in writing, I went through my credit card company and it is now THIRTY-FIVE days later and my card company still has received NOTHING back. They claimed to have lost my paperwork when my husband called this past Monday and asked for my credit card number, exp date, CVV # again. Hoping that I would actually have received my credit by NOW, I called to follow up with the CC company. NOTHING. I would NEVER recommend buying from this dealer. An experience that could have been a minor hiccup will be resulting in me calling the Better Business Bureau and lodging a formal complaint. THIEVES!!!! read more

I was treated with the utmost respect and I would highly recommend Crestmont Route 23 Volkswagen. VW Das Auto. read more

Crestmont Volkswagen - Car Dealers Near Me - Pompton Plains, New Jersey

I have sent several letters to William Strauss and not once did he respond. I have sent an email over to US VW and no response. I just resent an email to William Strauss and his managers at the Crestmont VW in Pompton Plains. Hi, I have loved VW's all my life. I bought a brand new 2017 VW Jetta from a Crestmont, Pompton Plains New Jersey. First off, I have been dealing with Toyota over 10 years and trusted my salesman DJ. I just wanted to have my VW again. It turns out that in most parts of the US going to a dealership is painful nevermind walking out with a brand new car and knowing (or thinking) you know that you were ripped off. I never felt that way with DJ. He seemed pretty honest and would lay out the cards before I made any decision. He is very patient. Anyway, I ended up at the VW same owner as of the Toyota dealership only that honesty did not play a role in the sale at all. I was offered one price for my Toyota Camry that I was trading in and the day of signing it was $600.00 dollars difference. Yes, you know it, it did not benefit me. My saleswoman seemed surprised and said her manager must have changed it. She had no idea he did that. Well, I have been in sales all my life and if I have a client buying anything at all and they need to sign off on it that I will go through the contract with a fine-tooth comb. The last thing I want to do is rip off a client that trusts me. Plus, how do you live with yourself knowing you are committing fraud by telling them one thing and entering other information on the contract that they didn't agree to. Everyone will know what I am talking about when I say at the end of the car deal you believe what the salesperson is telling you and just want to leave the place with your new car that was a great deal. So after you leave certain things start popping into your head like the saleswoman seemed to make her self scarce while you were sitting with the finance person. Not even a check-in. Also, I started to think why when I asked to speak with DJ it was always he was off. You know why he was off because they only had me come in on his days off. I thought about my whole experience at the dealership and realized how they lied and cheated on the contract. I looked at the contract and could not believe how they ripped me off. I went back the next day, the finance guy said that Capital One mandates certain coverages and I said let's call them. He said the person he was working with was not in. I went to the hallway and called Capital One and guess what they did not mandate the extra services, coverage, or charges. The sales manager came in with his BS too but never added the $600.00 back in for the trade-in. Oh, and the saleswoman shows up being so concerned the deal was going to fall through. It should have but I was worn out and wanted to be done with it. Now, I find out the problems I am having with the Jetta are all recalls. Not once was I notified. I can turn off the car while it is not in the park gear and it actually rolls and a few times almost harmed a person. Also, I thought it was me that sometimes it feels like I am not going to be able to stop. Hi Mr. Keogh, I hope you are having a nice week. I wanted to share with you my experience with Crestmont VW. They pulled a bait and switch meaning for trade-in they put a lower number on the loan page. That VW location is awful because of the sales manager. He changed numbers and was not going to tell me. You have to know buying a car is the most unsatisfying experience. No matter what kind of deal you get it well knows it just appears to be a good deal. They even screwed me on my loan and my interest rate is killing me. They took advantage of my sense of panic because I was afraid my other car would need more work. I wrote to the owner of Crestmont VW, Toyota, and Mercedes Benz and he ignored me. I have loved VW's all my life but 2017 does not have to go in park to turn it off which is very dangerous especially when it rolls, my car sometimes does not stop when the oz foot is on the break it jumps and I feel I might not be able to stop. I looked up recalls and it appears my concerns are valid. Sincerely. Nancy E Gross 973509337 I have not been notified about any of these recalls. switch makes switch models switch years APRIL 12: VW Water Pump Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Reached 2017 Volkswagen Jetta recall 10F4 VOLKSWAGEN RECALL 10F4: ENGINE MAY SEIZE 2017 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA " BACK TO JETTA RECALLS COMPLAINTS95 CRASH TESTS3 RECALLS5 TSBS575 LEMON LAW If the engine seizes, the wheels may suddenly lock up, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

The service department is an absolute joke and it starts at the top with their so called "manager" Bob Gross. Unprofessional and disrespectful beyond words. I dropped of my '16 Golf R at night for what should've been routine warranty work with any competent dealership. I go to pick up the car the next day and noticed wheel damage that clearly happened there as you can tell from the discoloration between the freshly damaged area and the rest of the wheel. Multiple dealership employees there at the time agreed that the damage was obviously recent and while the car was in their possession. The service manager who wasn't even there denied responsibility and referred to an Inspection Report that was written in pencil claiming the damage was existing despite the evidence clearly proving otherwise. His counter argument was "We don't damage cars and you're just trying to make a quick $500". Surely not the type of company I would ever want to do business with again. We have bought two GTI's, a Tiguan, a Touareg, and two Golf R's from Jack Daniels VW in Fair Lawn, NJ as well as a 4Runner TRD Pro, Tundra TRD Pro, and FJ Cruiser Trails Team Edition from Prestige Toyota in Ramsey with nothing but positive experiences. We will no longer be visiting Crestmont Volkswagen or Crestmont Toyota and strongly advise you reconsider as well. As clear from previous reviews. They just deny any wrong doing. It seems their customer service policy is. "The dealership is always right" read more

Let's start with the conclusion first: This dealership is probably the best and most honest VW dealership in the greater NYC area. Especially their service department, they will let you know the exact thing that your car need and give you very reasonable price. I recently lost the last key of my 07 gti, I called 4 dealerships in the greater NYC area, including one in manhattan, the rest of the 3 dealers all quoted me for around $300 for key+programming( the one in manhattan even want to charge me money for jump the car, what a joke!), they only charge me $130 for the entire job. I am sure this is the best price in NYC area.They also cleaned my car, jumped the battery and filled my tire pressure and provided all necessary advices on how to keep my car healthy. I strongly recommend VW users come to this place to service and repair their vehicle, they will give you the best price in this area and always be honest with you. read more

Place is awful. Cannot even get anyone on phone for pricing. Never had to chase a car dealer before.

I selected this place because a friend told me about it. Also he was surprised at the high rating this place has online. When I checked, it was true. It's crazy how DEALERSHIPS online have such Terrible ratings. Like really, these managers must not care. Anyhow I was impressed with their rating and decided to go here despite there being closer vw dealerships in relation to where I live. Worth it, they were friendly and quick. All I had done was an oil change and filter replacement. It was neat too because there was a special promotion which dropped the price down and on top of that I received a $20 rebate which I'll use on my next change. I intend on using this location for all my vw maintenance needs :) read more

NANCY is the absolute best! she treats you like family! It was not the right time for me to get the vehicle I was looking at but when I'm ready I will head here!

Do not but a VW. I own a 2016 Sportwagen and the wiring and the heat-shield were eaten by small animals because it's covered in a plant based covering they find delicious. VW refuses to stand behind their product saying it's not a defect in product or workmanship. I will never buy a VW again. read more

I have to say that I am very disappointed with the Dealership. Was interested in a CPO vehicle. Noticed some damage and decided to have my local shop do a Pre Purchase Inspection (PPI). The Carfax said no accidents reported. After my shop did the PPI, there was evidence that the car had been in a major accident and the dealership was selling the vehicle as if an "Excellent" rating on KBB. When I asked if the dealer would fix the damaged items and reduce the selling price to complete the sale, the sales manage sent me a one line email and said "No Thanks". Few days later, the Sales Manager did respond, however I decided to purchase elsewhere as they were not willing to address my concerns. Especially the brakes having only a few thousand miles of life on them. I appreciated the response, but it was a few days later after the "No Thanks" one liner. read more

Ugh, I can only comment on the Service Department. I took my GTI (8,000 miles) in for a noise coming from the engine area. They needed the car for a day which I understand. However they don't have loaner cars so I had to enlist a friends help (not cool). A day later I go back and they tell me I have a crack in my engine block and that it had to be replaced which could have cost thousands. I asked if I could see the crack and they told be the car wasn't on the lift anymore. So I took my car to another dealership that was more than happy to put my car on a lift so that I could look for the crack. 3 technicians and myself looked for a half hour straight and found nothing. Turns out that the noise I was hearing was a loose ignition coil. I replaced it at the second dealership for $30 total. Crestmont Volkswagen lost my trust and my business. read more

I was leasing a 2013 Volkswagen Passat. The car was perfectly fine but I wanted to get out of the lease as I had an extra car. I went to see the Sales Manager Josh Hennion to see if he can work with me to get out of the lease early. I explained the situation to him that I wasn't intending on buying another car and wanted to get out of the lease early. I was disappointed that VW Credit was particularly difficult in working with me. Josh did some work on his own and the end result is I'm out of the lease because of his help. The customer service that Josh provided was second to none! Josh went above and beyond for someone who wasn't buying a car from him. If you are considering a VW (they are great cars) please go see Josh. He worked very hard, kept in touch with me, and delivered what he promised! Thank you Josh and Crestmont Volkswagen! read more

Best VW in Northern NJ and I say that as someone who has dealt with numerous VWs in the area. I can only speak on the Service Department...Scott was a lifesaver. He was pro-active, timely, and informative. He literally saved me stress, money, and energy. There was nothing more that I could possible ask for out a VW. I am throughly happy and will be coming back for future visits for sure. Rock On!!! read more

I was in on saturday 10/12 looking at new toyota's and stepped on over to see what volkswagon had on their show floor. As we walked through the receptionist who never looked up from her cellphone to greet us had a puppy laying on the floor barking. This is not professional at all nor is it hygienic. Some more training would be great for that young girl on how to be a receptionist. read more

Best service department. Never get hassled. Always doing more than I request. They really care about there customers!!

Easy to make appointments for service via phone, quick oil changes, and great service.

Hi, I'm Mike. I'm a new Crestmont VW customer. I purchased a bottle green, beige top and interior 2017 VW Beetle convertible in the last week of September. Since I purchased the car I've had the gas cap light come on 3 times and the check engine light twice. After the gas cap light came on the first time, I made sure to tighten the cap properly. I don't understand why it keeps coming on. The second time the check engine light came on, I rushed over to Crestmont service dept. to have them look at the problem. As everyone knows, a check engine light can be serious or trivial. I was greeted by the assistant service manager at 3:55 saying the techs leave in 5 mins. So I have a check engine light on, and they weren't going to look at it. After insisting the car be looked at, which is a 5 min computer check, the assistant service manager sullenly agreed to look at it himself. I didn't need the sullenness or the attitude of the techs are leaving in 5 mins. The mark of superb customer service is to do everything you can to help. There was no, we can't look at it today let's try and get you a loner car and look at it tomorrow, just the techs leave in 5 mins. Not noteworthy customer service. The general manager assured that the car was looked at properly and it turned out to be only a moderate problem that I could drive home safely with. As I write this on 10/17/17, the car has been dropped off and will be looked at on 10/18/17. I change cars from a Mini Cooper convertible that I felt was unreliable to a Beetle convertible that has an emissions problem within the first 20 days and 1000 miles. Not an auspicious start to my VW ownership. read more

Let me start off my saying that I am VERY meticulous about my car. I pretty much inspect my car every time I walk up to it. I LOVE my candy white 2014 GLI. I brought it into Crestmont for it's mandatory 10,000 mile check up/oil change. I dropped it off in the morning, WITHOUT a scratch on my bumper, and picked it up later that night WITH a significant scratch/chip in the paint. It was the first thing I saw when I walked up to the car. The service manager had already left for the evening, so I left my complaint with the receptionist working that night. I received a call the next morning from one of the service guys saying I needed to bring in my car so that their manager could see the scratch for himself. I took my car in the following week for them to inspect/fix the scratch. I waited 2 hours, only to have my car returned to me looking like some joe-shmo took White Out to the scratch. I'm not kidding, the paint was a COMPLETELY different white than the white of my car. The service manager assured me that it was a "good job" and you "could barely notice it". I could have done a better job retouching it myself. When I lodged further complaints about this retouch on site, he said that they would not be claiming responsibility for the initial scratch done to my car and that this was the best they could do. He further had the audacity to claim that it was "impossible" that this scratch could have happened at their dealership. Meanwhile, while I was waiting for my car to be "retouched", a huge crash of something dropping came from the garage of the service area...could've been something dropping on someone's beloved car and creating a scratch. WARNING to all Volkswagen owners in the Pompton Plains/Wayne/Pequonnock area: DO NOT take your car to Crestmont VW if you want your car to be properly serviced or your car to remain looking like it did when it came off the lot!!! read more

I was driving my brand new EOS and when it started to rain I immediately saw that one of my windshield wiper blades had been vandalized while I was at the supermarket. Luckily I was close to Crestmont Volkswagen. Although I had no appointment, and did not buy my car there, the service manager was extremely accommodating, took me right in, and replaced the wiper blade at no charge. This enabled me to get home safely, and I was very impressed with the kindness and professionalism shown me at Crestmont. read more

In 1996, I wanted to lease a VW, and pay $5,000 down. I ended up with the full lease rate since they deducted the $5,000 from the residual value! So, if I didn't want to lose the money, I had to purchase the car once the lease was over (which I did). Once the car hit 4 years, every time I bought it in for routine service they told me the brake pads needed to be replaced. After less than 4,000 miles?! Disgusting place, will never do business with them again. read more
