PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRAPPY place, they will rip you and your car, this is a franchise and VW headquarters do not have any authority here, I have my car in for a check and they gave it back as a non runner and charged me £1000, for checking the head gasket and it’s leaking now, when I asked the service manager their response was if the head gasket open then the engine will leak,

I have bought many cars in my 57 years of driving and dealt. With ever sort of salesman there is I can say that Jason is one of the nicest that I have dealt with the t roc was as he said would be he could not have done anything more to be off help he took his time to explain the car to me and at my age 76 that means a lot would buy again from him again in 3 years time if still driving

I visited Parkways on Tuesday and was greeted by Paulina Szalkowsk, I have to say I was very impressed with the service I received and courteous manner. I went to have Apple.play fitted to my Golf Gtd by Sam the assigned technician he explained everything I needed to know on the technical side regarding the phone system, I have to say the service I received was the best I have ever had from a dealership, I recommend these guys.

"Awful- stay away!"

A shockingly appalling experience from the very beginning. The purchase process itself was the worst I have ever experienced by far with any product, let alone a car. The entire franchise is only interested in making a quick buck... I would strongly advise everyone to stay well away. The person who sold the car to me was sacked soon after, seemingly due to the catalogue of errors he made regularly and his overly aggressive sales pitching. After attempting to contact the dealership to resolve my issues, due to the lack of response, I decided to let it all go and move on as I could not be bothered to talk to such an incompetent, unhelpful team. I am still having issues 7 months after purchase and they are unwilling to ever contact me themselves to rectify any issues even after I have called and emailed them multiple times in an attempt to speak to the retail manager. They have sold certain products with the vehicle without informing me of hidden costs... I shouldn’t be surprised to be honest based on their overall severe lack of professionalism. I am unsure whether the owner of the company is aware of how bad the dealerships are but rest assured I shall soon find out if he is when I contact him. If he is just like the merry band of careless workers, I shall definitely proceed to take matters up with the higher authorities - small claims court, financial ombudsman. In summary - STAY WELL AWAY. Nightmare since first contact with them.

After searching high and low for the model of Tiguan that I wanted and could afford I eventually found a 17 plate R Line Tiguan for Sale at Parkway. Drove down to test drive and bought the car. 1 week later picked it up all good, upon buying the car I was told that the spare key was missing and would be posted to me on the Monday morning. Drove off happy as I had just got my new car. 5o miles later the car broke down on my way home, had to be trailered back to Parkway in Leicester where I was given a courtesy car while they inspected the car. 9 days later the car was fixed and told would be delivered to me straight away, car was eventually delivered on day 15 still minus the key and now the reverse camera did not work. Reported this immediately and was told it would be sorted out on the Monday. Monday comes and no phone call to resolve anything, phoned up to be told was being dealt with by the sales manager. A few days later I was going on my Holiday driving around the country so I thought ok will sort it when I have had my Holiday as I have now phoned Parkway on at least 15 occasions with very limited response from anyone. 2 days into my Holiday the car brakes down yet again now this is a car with only 24k on the clock, car had to be trailered away again and I am put in a very small courtesy car that would hardly fit our luggage into so decided to end our holiday there. Car is towed back to my nearest main dealer 150 miles from where it broke down a day later. At this point I told the garage that the car was being returned back to them as I have now only owned the car for 9 days out of 24 and have barely covered 250 miles in it. Was told to return log book and I would be refunded immediately which I did. 5 days later told I would be refunded now when the car gets back to Leicester which took a further week. Told that my money would be in my bank by Monday or Tuesday. On Tuesday no money still in my bank and then given another ridiculous excuse that they could not find my car on HPI report so I would have to wait again. This was eventually resolved 4 days later and I finally got my refund over 2.5 weeks later. From start to finish I have made over 50 phone calls to which I was phoned back once. I will never deal with this garage again in my life and would encourage all to stay away from them, this has put me off VW for life.

Service department and mechanics haven’t got a clue what they are doing trust me NEVER take your car to them! They are shambolic. Take your money and don’t care after seriously I’m not being a grumpy customer I genuinely mean this if you want a good service from a trust worthy garage don’t go there, they rip you off and haven’t got the slightest clue what they are doing. All they do is type symptoms into a computer and wait to see what it produces and they go through the list with know mechanical know how not do they use there skills(lack of) to diagnose its as if there Brian’s have been replaced with artificial intelligence. The service department team are useless as well. AVOID if you care about your pocket and you want a trust worthy place who knows there stuff.

Parkway VW Leicester have sold me a car and were supposed to change a battery before selling it to me as the car was not starting correctly. I was told it has been changed but this was probably not true. Parkway have since then said to contact services, who have told me to contact the dealer again. The dealer has then said there is a warranty through AA. AA have said they cannot cover and have asked me to contact the dealer again. I have waited a week again for someone to come back to me.

gerrard waters in response to Faulty Car and bad communication

there's 2 issues. first, many cars require the battery to be programmed, as they have a monitoring system, I doubt this was done second, the dealer uses aftermarket parts on used cars, not genuine, and frankly cheapo nasty batteries are not fit for purpose.

I would stay away from Parkway Volkswagen they charge an admin fee of £149.00 on all used cars even if they are owned by VW group , 3 months after purchasing the car I am still waiting on proof the checks where done , I suspect they weren't but no one gets back to you , have phoned and emailed and still waiting I arranged for my car to be delivered for a fee of £53.00 on the day the car was supposed to come the delivery company 'had let them down' and the car was delivered by the salesman' no receipt for the delivery cost and certainly not £53.00 of fuel was put in the car complete rip off do you self a favour and go elsewhere its not worth all the hassles for a VW dealership the lever of customer service you receive is not what I should be from a high end car company very disappointed to say the least

Parkway Volkswagen Leicester gave conflicting information and strung me along for 2 days, including providing bank details and asking for nearly £12k, for a car they had already sold. When asked for an explanation I did not even receive an apology, just ridiculous justifications that they had done nothing wrong.
