| - Purchasing a new car is going to be an awful experience, right?
I. was. dreading. it.
But, when my Jeep started to have electrical problems, it was no longer safe (or fun) to drive around in the dark with flickering headlights. I mean, what would the neighbors think? - let alone the friendly police officer who might be curious as to what kind of funny business was going on in my car.
I wasn't dedicated to a car brand, so that only added to my...lack of enthusiasm. Then one day, it dawned on me. I like simple, well-designed things. Why not Audi? Then I looked at my paycheck, and I said, "Why not Audi's wittle baby cousin VW?"
That's how I ended up at Classic Volkswagen. The car salesmen I worked with Chris was calm and friendly. He answered each of my questions and left the decision totally up to me. I ended up purchasing a Jetta from him. Two weeks later, my boyfriend purchased (a very similar, too similar) Jetta from Chris, as well.
Since the purchase, we've been back for oil changes and car washes. Each time, the staff is remarkably friendly and accommodating. I mean, remarkable.
Once, I showed up thinking I needed an oil change and I was under mileage. Instead of just changing it, they told me to hold off until I actually need it (your first few oil changes are free at Classic).
Also, I received windshield wipers as a Christmas gift - we're a practical family - and couldn't get them on to save my life. I popped into Classic VW and they installed them in two second, no complaints, with a smile for free.
The entire experience has been so exceptional, I don't see myself purchasing a car anywhere else.
