Consumer Comments for King Volkswagen

Consumer from Bethesda, MD
Oct 17, 2023

Prices are ridiculously high. 30,000 mile service plus wheel alignment was nearly $600. They offered a differential flush for $424.00, but as it happens I had just had that done at a VW dealer in Vermont - for $89.95!!

Prices seem high but are comparable to other shops.

King VW did warranty work on my 2019 e-Golf. It needed a software update and new wiper blades. Both were done at no cost because the car is under warranty. Longish wait on the software update; very short wait on the wiper replacement
