I was greeted kindly by Oscar when I first arrived, then again when I first spoke to Brayner and moments later when I explained my needs to Terrence, who is always a gentleman. I didn't have an appointment and they were quite busy, ...

Best Volkswagen dealer I’ve seen so far. I took my car here couple days ago, Shoutout to Terrence for the kind hospitality and warm welcome. It was a great experience, he went above and beyond and even explained me what type and what brand oil they are using on the car. It’s great that they are using OEM Volkswagen 508 oil, some dealers are using cheap oils to make more profit. Great place, I will get my next oil change here as well and I highly recommend City Volkswagen of Evanston.

Over 25 years of doing business with City of Evanston (previously Autobarn) and purchasing over 10 cars I and my family have worked with Narcis Agic. He is the most knowledgeable, smart, helpful, and kind salesperson we have ever worked with in any industry.

When purchasing a car consumers need to be able to trust their salesperson, and again, Narcis is the best at making the client (us) feel happy, satisfied and well taken care of. Please let him him know he ...

This review is long overdue! Mario and Narcis did fantastic job helping me with my purchase. Their expertise, attention to detail, preparation and execution of a deal are second to none. Tiguan I wanted was not readily available, however they were able to find desired vehicle in less than 48 hours. My concerns and questions were answered, my needs were assessed and during these unprecedented times their attentiveness eliminated anxiety in my buying process. Well done gentleman!

We were very pleased with our lease of a 2021 Tiguan last week. George Lopez, our salesperson, provided excellent service.
