    Hannah K.

    I visited several dealerships in LA, but my experience at New Century Volkswagen Glendale was by far the best. From the moment I walked in, the showroom was clean, the staff was friendly, and there was absolutely no pressure, which made the whole process very comfortable. Compared to the other dealership right next door (which was loud and hectic), New Century Volkswagen had a calm and focused atmosphere where I truly felt that the dealer was paying attention to me. My dealer, Viken Guemidjian, answered every question patiently, responded quickly to messages, and never pushed unnecessary add-ons. Instead, he showed an open-minded attitude, trying his best to meet my needs. The whole process, from start to finish, was handled carefully, quickly, and smoothly. Shout out to Viken! Even after the contract was signed, he continued to check in to make sure I was happy with the car and the overall experience. You can really feel his pride in representing Volkswagen, and that makes a big difference. If anyone around me asks about buying a car, I would not hesitate to recommend this dealership and Viken. The pricing and conditions were explained transparently, which built a lot of trust. Overall, it was a stress-free experience, and I drove away with the right car for me. If you are considering buying a car, I can confidently recommend New Century Volkswagen, and especially Viken.

    I cannot recommend this location enough! I wanted to shout out and thank Jay P who helped me sometime back in maintenance and is the main reason I continue to return to this location. This time I want to thank first, Anthony A aka Tony, for his service in maintenance on my previous 2023 VW Taos-kind and supportive, made dropping off my car really simple and was able to refer me to Ramy to have him answer some of my questions and concerns about my lease. Secondly, thank you to Jonathan in finance who was extremely patient and helpful. He listened and guided me in selecting what was best for my newest car without making it feel like a hassle or impossible to stay within my budget. Lastly, a huge thank you to the most valuable person that truly helped me with obtaining my newest baby, Ramy! Ramy made the process of being able to get out of my previous lease with such EASE. From the beginning when he was referred by Tony, he came and introduced himself and then stated he needed to take care of something and would return. He did so promptly and more importantly already had a solution before I could start addressing the questions and concerns I already had in mind. Ramy is young but extremely knowledgeable, calm, has a friendly demeanor, and professional. He made my experience that I was dreading to face become such a smooth process, efficient, and overall enjoyable. Ramy has exceptional customer service!!!

    This is how bad my rotor is "only after a year "---- and they're claiming they changed it.

    DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE FOR SERVICE -- ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A WOMAN. This has been the worst experience I've had with any dealership. I had my rear brake pads and rotors replaced here last year. One year later, I took my car to another dealership and was told I needed to replace them again -- which made no sense. To verify, I went to a trusted auto shop, and they showed me the left rear rotor was severely worn, while the right one looked new -- meaning they only changed one side. That's completely unacceptable and goes against industry safety standards. Rotors should always be replaced in pairs. When I confronted the dealership, they offered excuses and refused to take accountability. They told me I'd have to pay for the replacement, even though the issue was clearly due to incomplete or dishonest work from their side. Last year, when I originally came in for service, I had a scheduled appointment but still waited 5 hours, only to be told I had to leave my car or come back. Meanwhile, walk-in customers were being helped before me. I also purchased a 2-year maintenance plan, but they claimed I had already used it. Only after I provided proof of purchase did they admit there was a "system glitch" and suddenly "found" my records. Very suspicious. This whole experience has made me feel ignored, manipulated, and taken advantage of. I'm incredibly disappointed -- especially as a woman, I felt dismissed and not taken seriously throughout the entire process. Avoid this dealership. They do not take responsibility for their actions, and their customer service is awful. I regret ever trusting them with my vehicle.

    I came in to the service shop almost 90% sure my exhaust system was broken, and on top of that I was not getting any heat. I have my own code scanner and can do research, I found it was a common issue in the TDI for the heater core to go bad, and in turn, not be able to burn off the diesel particulate in the exhaust. They convinced me it was only a fan that needed to be replaced, and that heat was just not being distributed properly. I quadruple asked that it would fix the problem, that the heater was in fact ok, and I would not need to replace the whole exhaust. They insisted that was the only fix They charged me $2700 on my first trip in with the expectation that it would solve the cars issues. Check engine came back on within 10 minutes of pulling out of their lot. When I brought the car back in, they told me my heater core was damaged and needed repaired. They charged me another $1200 on this trip in, again with me asking if that was the only fix needed, or if the exhaust system was actually broken. The light came back in AGAIN and this time they FINALLY told me the exhaust was cracked and they charged me $4000 to have the whole system replaced. My car only lasted 10 months after these repairs. It has been sitting in my driveway for the past 2 months with exhaust problems. I would have never fixed this car if I was told up front it would be $8000 in repairs. They only gave me a 6 month warranty on parts so I'm out of luck if I go back to them.

    DO NOT COME HERE FOR SERVICE! The TLDR version of my experience here is that I brought my car in after the check engine and EPC (electrical) light came on. After two costly repairs, a battery replacement (they didn't actually test the health of my battery during the $199 diagnostic exam of my vehicle and my car died on me the day after picking it up from them), and my car no longer being able to be driven, that's when they decided to finally see if my car was having an electrical issue. Throughout this process, I picked my car up three times. The day after I picked it up the first time (after a costly repair), my check engine and EPC light came back on. The next day my battery died. I then returned my car to the shop. The second time I picked up my car from them (after weeks of having to chase them for updates on my car, weeks of it not driving because of work THEY did on it, and another costly repair), I drove it for 30 minutes and the check engine light came back on. Also a new issue appeared, the gauge for my gas was no longer accurate. So I had to return my vehicle to them a third time. Their team not looking into the electrical issue of my car until after two parts were replaced, when an electrical warning light was the reason I brought my car into the shop proves that they were negligent in the state of California. Throughout this process, I had left 3 separate messages to speak with the manager of New Century Volkswagen with no reply. Their shop is registered with the California State Department of Consumer Affairs which makes them in violation of The Automotive Repair Act of 1971, specifically section 4. If you're familiar with my profile, you'll see that I've only ever used Yelp to write 5 star reviews, but I felt the need to share my experience and warn other consumers. Save your money, and save your time. There's a reason their Better Business Bureau rating is a D-. I have copies of every message and email and I am taking them to court. **Update 6/16/25 - Dawn's comment below isn't accurate. The bottom line of this whole thing is that the day after I picked up my car from NCV, after the first repair of this whole saga, my car wouldn't turn on and was not drivable. Not sure what they're trying to accomplish by lying and telling half-truths when I have all the receipts and every message in writing.

    2025 VW Taos!

She came highly recommended by a friend, and from my very first phone conversation with her, I could tell I was in good hands. She took the time to answer all of my questions, followed up promptly, and was always honest, sincere, and genuinely interested in helping me find the right vehicle. When I arrived for my appointment, Helen was already waiting for us in the parking area, which immediately made us feel welcomed and valued. From start to finish, the entire car-buying process was smooth, stress-free, pleasant, and truly memorable. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and took the time to explain every step of the purchasing process in detail, ensuring I was comfortable and informed throughout. After the purchase, Helen thoughtfully walked me through all the features and patiently taught me how to use the essential functions. She made sure I felt confident and comfortable before driving off the lot, and I sincerely appreciated the extra time and care she took. What impressed me most was Helen's warm personality and wonderful sense of humor. Unlike many previous experiences I've had at car dealerships, where I often felt pressured to make a decision, Helen never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable. Instead, she created a relaxed, enjoyable, and welcoming environment that allowed me to make my decision with complete confidence. Buying a car is usually a stressful experience, but thanks to Helen, this was one of the happiest and easiest purchases I've ever made. Thank you, Helen, for your exceptional customer service, professionalism, patience, and kindness. You truly went above and beyond in every way. I am incredibly grateful for your help and will gladly recommend you to my family, friends, and anyone looking for an outstanding car-buying experience. You made what is typically a stressful process into one I will always remember with gratitude.

    REVIEW FOR REPAIR SHOP:…read more My family member took our 1 year old family vehicle in for repairs and was charged an initial $270 diagnostic fee, only to be told they could not find the issue. To identify the problem, they stated they would need to remove the dash for a secondary diagnostic costing $2,100--bringing total diagnostic fees to $2,370 before any actual repairs even begin. The work must be complicated but that's still a large amount. While I appreciate that a loaner vehicle was provided, the overall experience has been an expensive and frustrating hassle. We dropped my car off in early July and 3 weeks later they still do not know what is causing the issue, nor have they started the secondary diagnostic. On top of that, communication has been poor; you can only get updates from the specific advisor assigned to your case, meaning no one can answer your questions if that individual is unavailable. Our car is still with the dealership and we'll see how things go from here. So far, it's been suboptimal and it doesn't look like the end is in sight anytime soon. Wish us luck! I'd recommend another brand or at least another shop for repairs.
