Oops! Spelled the last name of my sales manager incorrectly on my first review. His name is Ray Porrero. He's outstanding! Professional, trustworthy and sincere. Absolutely zero pressure. Still stoked about the deal he gave us and we are extremely happy. Make no mistake, your best deal on a new VW is right here at Riverside Metro Auto Group. They also have a huge inventory of used VWs and many other makes as well. Come in and drive off happy! read more

I purchased a Volkswagen ID4 at this location towards the end of July this year. My drive to work is almost one hour one away and wanted a vehicle without purchasing gas. The ID4 looked nice and has a decent range. After owning the vehicle for one week, I decided to wash it. A few days later on my way to work, I heard a loud brake squeal. I then realized it was my ID4. The brake squeal started to become excessive. I contacted the service department here in Riverside to set an appt for them to take a look at my concern. Esteban in the service department told me they will take a look at it and let me know what they found out. I was asked if my car was sitting in the sun. I thought, "What does this have to do with the brake squeal." I was also told by other service departments that it was normal to hear a brake squeal after it rains or it's been sitting in the sun. I thought to myself, "Why would Volkswagen sell a vehicle that produces a brake squeal if it sits in the sun or after it rains." Later that day, Esteban told me they could not duplicate the brake squeal and everything seemed to work fine. I took his word for it. I live almost 45 min away from this location. As soon as I got home, I heard the brake squeal again. I called Esteban again and had them set up another appt. I brought it back in and they gave me a loaner vehicle. Several days later, Esteban called me and told me they could not duplicate the problem again and said my car was perfect. I picked up my car and heard the brake squeal again. It was becoming extremely excessive. I was frustrated because I knew there was a problem with my car and the service department kept telling there was nothing wrong with it. The sad part is, I sent Esteban five videos where I recorded the brake squeal and it seems they meant nothing. I decided to set up an appt at the Volkswagen location in Murrieta since I live closer to that area. I dropped my car off there recently and asked the service department to do a ride along so I can show them the problem with the brake squeal. A technician rode along and he heard the brake squeal after driving for some time. Later that day they found out the brake pads were losing chunks on the outer edge, the rotors had heat spots and glaze, and there were issues with the calipers. The service advisor showed me the front left brake pads. I saw how chunks were missing on the outer edge and it was not smooth at all. All this time I knew there was a problem and the service department in Riverside Volkswagen could not properly address it. It is so sad I had to go to another location for the problem to be properly inspected. After I picked up my car from the Murrieta location, I decided to call the Riverside service department and spoke to Oscar the service manager. I was frustrated and told him what was found out with my car. He told me since they could not hear the brake squeal, there was no need to take it apart. I told him they should have taken it apart anyways to check it. I do not understand why they would not take the wheels off and properly take a look at the brakes anyways. This would have saved me from going there twice back and forth and dealing with this headache. I would definitely not be returning back to this location at all. I am completely dissatisfied with the service department in the Riverside location and do no trust they will properly care for the vehicle. read more

I can't express what a pleasure it was to work with Raymond in finding the atlas cross sport I was looking for. He made the whole process non stressful and easy. Never felt pressure to buy anything. He had a ton of information to help me out. Even after I drove home with my car he contacted me to see if he could help me with anything else. He was helpful with finding VW accessories that I felt I needed to keep my atlas looking new for years to come. I'll be sure to send over friends and family to have Raymond help them out also read more

Brian and staff were fantastic to work with. Buying an auto is stressful but Brian personally took care of our needs, made us comfortable and answered all our questions. The deal was done. The finance manger Ray was friendly and quick. Thank you Brian, Ray and Jon. read more

I always get great service when I bring my car to Riverside Volkswagen. They take care of all of my Golf SE's needs, and answer any questions I have quickly & thoroughly while I wait comfortably in their waiting area. Oscar, their customer service rep, was super helpful & kind. I like this place as much as I like my car!!! Edit: Just this week, I took my daughter to Riverside Metro Auto Group to help her purchase her first car. I keep going back to the VW team, because I've always had a positive experience with them. Michael López, the sales manager, took great care of us. He was transparent & professional, no games. He's super nice too :) I really appreciated that as a returning customer. Raymond Block was very knowledgeable and gave us excellent customer service. He helped my daughter choose a car that she loves. Michael in financing explained all the details clearly, and executed the paperwork with percision. While we were shopping, Janice & Oscar in the service department helped get my car serviced and ready to go. This is the third vehicle we have purchased from Riverside Metro Auto Group and the VW team. Not only do I love the sales team, I love the service team as well. I will keep coming back for sure. read more

I hate shopping for cars after you finally pick one on the lot! I tried to sneak past Volkswagen on my search today because they just weren't in my search. But Alex S. Grabbed me before I made it past the lot lol, and I'm glad he did because he made it the most educational and easy process. David the "Numbers" guy made sure to continue the trend by only showing me vehicles I had already been approved for and he was very transparent about the deal and I left with the vehicle I knew I wanted but was too anxious to leap for! Thank you guys for starting off my Birthday week!!!! read more

Brought my car in with an issue, was told it would be 185$ for diagnosis and that the 185 would be absorbed into any cost of repairs. Issue turned out to be an extremely simple switch of a fuse but they found another issue that would be 475 to look into. I approved it, and when I picked up my car, the 185 was not contributed to the cost of repair because "it wasn't the issue I brought the car in for". I've had a good history with vw across 4 different vehicles over the past 11 years but this was an underhanded deal and I'll not be returning to Riverside VW ever again. read more

Brought my wife's 22 Atlas for its first service. Also needed a warranty repair. Needless to say service done and repair completed in short order! What would you expect it is after all a WV dealership. What I didn't expect was the courtesy and care shown me. To say I was impressed by service writer Jose is an understatement. I was treated like royalty. Thanks Jose and Riverside VW! read more

I was having trouble finding a good deal on a new car and it seemed like I wasn't going to find the right car for me. Fortunately I decided to stop by Volkswagen and as soon as I walked in I was greeted by Andy Romero (great guy). Andy was a great help and we got the deal done in a matter of no time! I felt instant relief and he gave me a lot of pointers and described everything perfectly! Great manners and helped with every question that came to mind. It's tough dealing with salesman, but Andy was a tremendous help so I recommend you ask for him when you are trying to find the right car for you! read more

I went in on Friday March 5th and got literally yelled at by the FINANCE MANAGER Sammer Batarsh. I went in following up on a request had about my GAP insurance that Sammer claimed I didn't have according to their system. I found the document at home which stated that I did. My GAP insurance got dropped when the lender that approved my loan switched. They didn't inform me my GAP insurance was going to be dropped when switching lenders. Sammer was short with me, raised his voice at me on a number of occasions, and even accused me of calling him a liar and incompetent (all his words) On top of all that Sammer even went as far as THROWING my GAP insurance paper work at me. It wasn't until the General Manager Sam Khoury calmly explained the situation to where me an average customer can understand. Sammer was the most unprofessional person I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. If you take a brief look at most of the bad reviews here they come from his department. Sam, you were fantastic, but you need to correct these bad seeds you have working for you. read more

I got my first Atlas from Ray Block 3 years ago. He made the process so smooth and easy. I knew that I would go back to him in the future based off of my first experience. I called Ray a week ago regarding my current Atlas and options. He ended up getting my into a new 2022 Atlas and took care of everything from a distance. Ray knew my budget and what I wanted, and he made it happen! Not only was this such an easy trade, he drove the car to me. I did not even have to leave my house. Ray was on-time and professional. He spent time going through the new features and helped me set up apps and the system. I will always go back to Ray and refer people to Riverside Volkswagen for their professionalism, dependability, and pricing. I knew I could trust them with this recent purchase. Thank you Riverside Volkswagen! read more

I have always had an easy and pleasure doing business with Riverside VW. I've been going to this dealership for years on either buying or leasing a VW car. Raymond Block, my sales person has always been very helpful, very honest and done an amazing job. Every time I need a car, I just call him and he will always give a very honest answer and very good deal. He will work with you on whatever monthly payments that are easy for you. I just got a 2022 VW Golf GTI from him. I just called him and told him that my son wanted a Golf GTI. He went ahead and looked for the car and found one from another dealership. He even drove to that dealership, about 80 miles, to pickup the car. Nowadays, finding a car that you want you have to wait for a long time to get it. I gave Raymond all the necessary info and he did all the paper work and we went to the VW Riverside dealership just to sign the papers. He will even asked if you wanted to drop the car to your house. So if you're looking for a car with a very good deal, call VW Riverside and ask for Raymond Block. He will work with you and make your day a pleasure. Thanks again Raymond Block and the rest of the team at Riverside VW! You guys great, customer service are excellent. read more

worked with a very good deal with Raymond yesterday! He was very professional and helpful. Highly recommended to get him as the sales agent.

Scheduled online to purchase a vehicle for my son.. arrived on time and was immediately welcomed and told that Raymond would be with us momentarily.. less than a min. later Raymond greeted us and we got right to business. We test drove a few vehicles primarily VW and one Toyota.. quickly Raymond showed us the value and craftsmanship of VW and we were able to come to our own conclusion that VW was our choice.. then it came down to Certified preowned or New. With a fantastic warranty, included service for 3 years and newer features, it was clear that new would be our choice. Raymond is friendly and professional and showed us the facts with no pressure and no weird sales nonsense. Then Brian who brought out the numbers was friendly and matter of fact as well. Lastly, even in the finance room, the rep was totally friendly and not trying to push extra stuff on us. I think we got a very good deal without haggling and back and forth stuff. Buying a car is never a quick process but this was definitely quicker than other times. I appreciate that each time we approached the doors, friendly staff opened the doors for us and I also appreciate the cleanliness of the dealership. Thank you Raymond for a great experience.

Raymond Block reached out to me after I placed an interest on TrueCar.com. He called me in the morning and left a voicemail, I returned his call and told him what I was seeking. I had already test drove and knew the car I wanted at another dealer however he had the gray color I wanted. He was friendly and not pushy which made a huge impact in purchasing the car from him. We text all day and he drew up paperwork and broke down pricing all through text which I appreciated as I did not have time to talk or email back and forth. I ended up driving over 40 miles to Riverside to pick up my beautiful gray Atlas Crossover which was basically sold out everywhere. Upon arrival he met us as we approached the dealership doors and he was dressed professional, his office was tidy (We visited other dealers and they were sloppy with unkept areas) and he had us out the door quickly. He was off by 7pm however he stayed after hours to wait and meet with us. After all paperwork was signed, he sat with us in our car to ensure we knew all the cool features of the car AFTER it was already purchased, how amazing is he! He even took the cutest pictures of us and sent us a fun clip with music of our purchase day. He text to check on us the next day and our experience with him made us love our car even more. I truly wish we met him sooner and did not experience the hassle we did at other Volkswagen dealers. Raymond is a true kind, and knowledgeable professional. read more

I reside in Chino with two, closer dealerships (Cardinale VW & VW Ontario). Upon meeting John Mack he asked my preferences, made many suggestions and truly engaged with my needs. We exchanged information. He followed up with a nice phone call with no pressure. One month later after doing lots of research, I called to ask about a specific vehicle and negotiated the price over the phone. He was able to deliver that deal. However, I wanted to make a substantial upgrade. So I decided to go to the Genesis dealership in Corona right next to VW-Corona. After getting my overview there I finally decided that I wanted to stick with the VW family of cars. I've owned Porsche and Audi, so I wanted something within the same class, being affordable and reliable. I drove over to Riverside and promptly asked for John. He was helping another customer, and I happily waited for him. I believe in loyalty to one who goes above and beyond. That day I test drove two models (gas & EV). I asked to work the numbers for both. That day I went home to think more before I made a 72 month commitment. I called John the next day going back and forth on numbers. I found another trim style online at his competitor. I knew not to call them as that would initiate another deal. So I called John giving him the shot at transferring that one. He was able to deliver again! We did our final negotiations over phone and text. That evening, I picked up my new vehicle that he had transferred over and paperwork was ready to go! Thank you John Mack for putting up with me and being so patient! I love my new car!!! read more

I'm still being bombarded with the same stupid questions two weeks after informing "Lauren" that I bought a car somewhere else. She pretended not to understand why anyone would want a new car that qualifies for federal tax credits and insisted that she couldn't give me any information on my "pre-approval" over the phone. She wouldn't even tell me if they had that particular car in stock. That may be the way she does business, but it's not a law. I informed her by email that I went with another dealership who didn't play games and have "unsubscribed" from her junk emails at least 3 times. I had warned her that any further annoyances would result in negative feedback, and here we are. There are still some dealerships out there that won't waste your time. I suggest everyone go to one of those instead. read more

I had initially stoped by to receive a trade in quote, I was undecided on what car I wanted and if I even wanted to trade in my vehicle, once I arrived I seen a Taos in the front and knew that was smaller than what I was hoping for. Once Raymond came out and greeted me I told him I wanted something little Bigger than Taos, he immediately showed me Tiguan, myself and my daughter were sold just by the third row seating it has! Next he showed me the next model up, and I was COMPLETELY SOLD! It had EVERYTHING I wanted! Keyless start! Power lift gate,Bonus was Sunroof . Raymond and Finance department made my dream come True!! Thank You! I'm so HAPPY with my new car read more

Ray at VW has assisted me on several occasions now. He's helped me with getting information to see which care is right for me. He gives me good prices. And what I appreciate the most is that he does not pressure me to purchase something that I do not want. Unlike many instances where companies are trying to sell me something, Ray goes the extra mile to make sure I get what I need. I feel that he puts my needs first. I appreciate that he as well as VW continuously commit to make sure that I am satisfied. As a customer who feels that their loyalty is constantly acknowledged, I highly recommend Ray and VW. read more

Just bought a new 2024 Atlas from VW Riverside. Raymond Block was the most amazing salesman. He was responsive, able to get us what we want, and even had us in and out of the dealership in under 30 mins! He was very knowledgeable about the car and took the time to come in on his day off, show us the features, and get us ready to enjoy the car. I'd put more stars if I could. read more

I normally don't post reviews but this was kinda crazy to me and couldn't leave without posting something and soon to let corporate know. I pull in to have my vehicle check engine light looked at and was told that they are very busy in service . And requested I take it to another dealership to have it worked on outside of the city of Riverside. I explain to them I want to keep my money here in the city and would rather have work done here. He explains it will take several days to even have it looked at and no loaner vehicle was going to be issued? All work is Diesel gate warranty and CPO warranty work. What a complete joke owner if owner knows his employees Oscar Medina, and Esteban Hernandez are telling his customers to go to another dealership to get work done? And I'm sure on the other hand they are asking for government hand out because COVID slowed sales! Thanks but no thanks and never again will I step foot in that dealership and unfortunately for them my wife is looking at the new Atles! Good luck read more

I tried calling back the owner and emailed him and nothing .. what a customer service.....

The service team is LACKING. I had an appointment this morning at 7am. I arrived at 7:08 with an appointment and there were only two people ahead of me and one with no appointment. It is 9:16 and I'm still waiting. Service team this is not ok. This is service but not very good service. I cannot imagine how long I would be waiting if I did not have a scheduled appointment. I'm a regular customer who has purchased three vehicles and have had to have them all service and it seems so each and every time I come back it seems to get worse. Oscar is the service manager here at this location in Riverside and he is amazing. I'm not sure what is happening here or if there's minimal staff, but this review is for you to review and address this issue. As a suggestion, when you have customers who are waiting this long who have appointments and the staff is just standing around or on personal phone calls, it doesn't make it any better. read more

Andy, Brian, and Ray made the process of buying my new car painless and so easy! They treated my used car as if it brand new. Only a minute had passed after my family and I walking onto the lot before Andy greeted us- Within 15 minutes I had test driven and started the paperwork process. They all took their time to answer any questions we had and explained everything in great detail, my parents were especially grateful that they were constantly checking up on them and reassuring that they were their main priority! read more

First time VW customer/lessee and can't say enough about how great my experience was with this location! Raymond was extremely kind, thorough and made the entire process so smooth for me. I've visited many other dealerships recently (one being a another VW branch), and none of them even compared to the level of customer service Raymond delivered. I'm so happy with my '23 Tiguan and I owe it all to Raymond and the rest of the Riverside VW team (Sam, general sales mgr + Ray, finance) for making it happen! If you're interested in VW or a new car, please make sure to give this place a shot - you won't be disappointed! 10/10 all around read more

Raymond was great and the communication was amazing. Loving the new Tiguan. Thanks for all the help!
