Dave Parsons was the most easy going, non-pressuring car salesman I've ever dealt with.  The main reason I bought my car from Oakland VW was Dave. He searched around the other dealers to find the car I wanted and had it delivered the next day. I had been to 3 other dealers (Honda, Toyota and BMW) and none provided me the level of service that Dave did.

This is probably the best experience we've had in acquiring a car. The sales consultant, Gary Label, was very courteous and patient. He was a major factor in providing us with an excellent car dealer experience. The finance consultant, John Wong, demonstrated professionalism and honesty. We received the car in excellent condition, both mechanically and cosmetically. We will definitely be back at VW of Oakland for our future VW acquisitions and we will highly recommend it to friends and family. Score: 100.0

While the facility could use a massive upgrade (to show your beautiful cars in the best light), every person I dealt with was exceptional. I am comparing this experience to the five other dealerships I visited in my hunt for a car - Hyundai, Ford, Honda, Kia, and another VW dealership. Hands down - they were the best in terms of personnel. I look forward to a warm, long term relationship.

2. The information we still seek is not easily available from either you or VWofA. I need to know what snow traction devices VW recommends and where I can purchase them for the cc to comply with California law that mandates individuals driving in the Sierra Nevada mountains in the winter carry "chains." And, I need to know where I can get a 4 pin trailer wiring harness and hitch that does not require drilling to install.

not your typical car sales experience; they were friendly, helpful, and
quick (imagine that). We had originally gone to our local VW dealer to
buy a new car and had to walk out in disgust after 4 hours. Then we
found Tony at VW of Oakland which was 180 degrees different from our
first experience. Tony took care of everything, we found the perfect
Jetta TDI and we were in and out. This was by the far the easiest car
buying experience we’ve ever had, we went from a dreaded (typical)
dealership to what I would call a non-dealership, we actually had a good
time, knew we we’re getting a good deal and felt fairly and honestly
treated. Even the kids were entertained with the TV, popcorn and
cookies. The ENTIRE staff was very friendly and made sure all our
questions were answered. I will be telling everyone it’s worth the
drive!!
