"2008 New Beetle"

"Dear Sir/Ma'am:
I just wanted to take a moment to share with you how helpful Mr. Will Gillespie was during our car buying experience.  Your dealership was the fourth that we ventured into in our quest for a vehicle.  Our experience with the prior three (3) dealers was not very favorable.  We had a few different vehicles in mind when we set about this purchase and were hoping to be informed and educated by the sales personnel at the various dealerships so we could make an informed and educated decision.  The sales people at the other dealerships were unable to answer our questions and after test driving a vehicle we would go home and do our own research.

    Our car buying experience changed when we drove into your dealership.  We had driven down from Asheville and Will timed our arrival perfectly.  He was in the process of pulling up the car we had called about exactly as we drove in.  He proceeded to copy our licenses, gave us a quick run down on the car and sent us off for a test drive.  After our test drive he was right on hand to answer our questions, run through the numerous safety features and then to answer more questions.  He was both informative and pleasant to work with.  Your dealership was the first dealership that I actually didn't mind buying a car.  I usually find car buying stressful and annoying.  Will was helpful, educated and attentive throughout our car buying process.  We will be recommending him to anyone we know who is in the market to buy a car.  In addition, Chris, the finance person was very helpful as well.

    Kudos to your dealership!

Very truly yours,
Marla E. Katz"

"2009 Routan"

"Will Gillespie is the reason we are a VW family. My wife
and I worked with Will back in December 2007 trying to
figure out what we wanted/needed. Out of that positive
experience, we have a 2008 Jetta  and love it! We just
purchased the new 2009 Routan from Will and look
forward to having great family time on trips with our daughter.

Thank you Steve White VW
and most of all thank you Will Gillespie!

"2006 New Beetle Convertible"

"The top of my beetle was not closing. They thought a
part would fix it but the problem was more widespread.
They had to order a few more parts. Neil was so nice
and helpful. He gave me a loaner car and kept me
informed on the progress. I'm actually greatful that they
were so accomondating and thorough in the repair.

As I mentioned Neil was so wonderful and helpful. He
listened to all of my concerns, he treated me respect
and was just all around a great help to me. I would
recommend him and the service center to anyone I
know."

"2006 Jetta"

"I happen to stop at your dealership thinking I could not afford the Volkswagen Jetta.  When Jeff came out and talked with me and I walked the lot I was surprised to see that not only was the Jetta affordable, but the People at Steve White went beyond the call to make my experience GREAT!
Not only will I come to Steve White first in the future, I will recommend to all my family and friends to come talk to them also.
Thanks Jeff and all for a great experience."

"Despite the extra issues that my car exhibited I feel that I was treated in an exemplary fashion and I was shown a high degree of respect and courtesy.  My wait was comfortable, I was provided a loaner vehicle and the snacks were appreciated.  I could not ask for a better experience while getting my car serviced.

Thank you and I'll see you again in 5000 miles"

Edward Binic,Salem

"2009 Jetta"

"We are very happy with the Jetta Sedan and will most likely purchase another VW within the year.  Will Gillespie did a great job in helping us and knew his product well.  He was also very thoughtful of our time.  Chris, the finance manager was also great to work with.  Great experience and atmosphere at your dealership! 
Thanks,

"Everyone I met at Steve White was very nice.  I
appreciate the great personality that my salesman, Jeff,
had.  I shopped several different car dealerships and Jeff
had the best personality of any of the salesmen I
encountered.  I am very pleased with my purchase and I
have been letting all of my friends know how pleased I
am with my car and the service I received at Steve
White.  Thank you. "

My husband and I had a very good new car buying experience due to the efforts of two of your employees. 

Mr. William Bryant worked with me via email to secure the car we wanted and Mr. Will Gillespie met with us on a very rainy Saturday morning to close the deal.

We are very pleased with the Jetta and would definitely recommend the drive from our corner of NC for the deal and the service.
Sincerely,

Julie Norden,Six Mile

"2009 Passat"

"We dealt with David Ballenger on this purchase. He
also sold us another vehicle a year ago. He is
extremely pleasant to work with, great personality, and
worked hard on our behalf to make the sale happen. It
was clear that he did everything in his power to close
the deal. The other person involved, I believe his name
was Terry, as well as the Gentleman who handled the
paperwork (forgot his name) were all very nice and
professional. Truly the attitude and business formula
that is diplayed at Steve White Motors (Volkswagen
team) surpasses most other dealerships. I have
purchased at least a dozen vehicles in the last 10
years, and I have a lot of comparisons...you guys "get it
done" and obviously choose quality folks to be a part of
your Team. Please pass this on to Mr. White."

Elizabeth Cunnigham,Moore

"2009 Passat CC"

"Love the car. And the entire process was very smooth
and easy. Will Gillespie was very responsive from the
time I asked for a quote on the internet till the time of
purchase.

I had driven Nissan for the past 10 years or so and part
of the reason for the switch was the lack of their
response over the Internet even though I made them
aware that I was prequalified through their finance
company. We all are aware that times are tough every
where, especially in the auto industry and their
lackluster attempt to provide quotes/sales, etc. was a
big turn off.

The internet was a very valuable tool for someone like
myself with limited time during the week to look at
vehicles and an unwillingness to waste weekend time at
the lot shopping for quotes, etc. It gave us a good
starting point and more than likely saved all involved
several hours of negotiations, etc.

In summary, I am very pleased with the whole process
from the vehicle, the sales process, and price."

"It was a pleasure to work with Will Gillespie.  I felt he was genuine and knowledgeable.  Not atypical of one's perception of a car sales consultant.  He followed up with interest and without coming over the top.

Neil at Steve White of Greenville is a great service consultant.  Steve White should give him a raise in salary because he is an asset to your business…..thank you Sally Evans!!!!!!!!”

Sally Evans, Gray Court, SC

"2008 Passat"

"I would just like to take a minute and let you know that we were above and beyond satisfied with our salesman Ron Johnson.   My husband came and picked out the car for me for Christmas, Ron listened to everything he was looking for, that evening when my husband brought me back to finishing signing the paperwork, Ron went over everything with me as he had with my husband and answered all of my questions. 

We will be Steve White customers for life.  In our 20 years of buying cars together we have never had a salesman and finance team be so nice to us.  We just thought that you needed to know this."

Claud & Jackie Henry, Walhalla

"2009 Jetta"

Will Gillespie, Alison (the internet consultant), and everyone were very helpful and I could tell doing their best to speed to process along as fast as they could.  I came in on my lunch break and Will showed me that I was actually able to get the car that day... so the entire team worked really hard to get me out the door so I could get back to work.  When I came back at the end of the day, my paperwork was waiting for me, the car was ready and detailed and everything just flowed seamlessly and smoothly.  You have a great team at Steve White, it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end.

Hello Marc,
I just wanted to pass this bit of news along:  I bought my 2005 Golf TDI in May of 2007 with 52,000 miles on the odo.  I was headed into work this morning on 85 south and noticed that it was at 99,997 and I was very close to your exit, so I got off there and drove around the block a few times.  I managed to click over to 100,000 miles right at the front of the building!

 
Then when I got back on 85 south to head to work, the road was wide open and almost no traffic in site, and I managed to commemorate the moment with hitting the century mark on the speedo as well  :^)  Farfegnugen!

 
Thanks, and have a great day,
 
Jon M.

"My Jetta is awesome!  I love it!! And Will Gillespie has been great to work with.  He is friendly, responsive, and sincere and has a fun personality.  I've been dreading the actual purchasing process for a long time...the haggles, the hassles, the hours spent in the dealership...but there was NO hassle, NO long wait, and absolutely no problems.  You should definitely give Will a raise.

I will recommend your dealership in general and Will in particular to all my friends from now on."

Marc,
I wanted to get by and show you the wrap on the Passat. It looks great.


Thanks again for all you do. By the way, I love this car. I am now an official Passat enthusiast. I've had a lot of people ask what kind of car is this? They love it.

"This was the best experience I've ever had buying a car!  The sales rep, Will Gillespie, was great.  He did everything he said he would do in the time frame he gave.  Everyone at the dealership was very nice.  I have already recommended your dealership."

Betty Perkins,Nicholson, GA

"2009 Beetle"

I was so grateful to Ron Johnson!  I've been looking and watching for a white VW with a sunroof for a while.  NO ONE except Ron offered to look for one on my behalf! 

He was quick to return phone calls after we began communicating, letting me know he had found one; his plan to obtain the the car; planned to pick it up, and kept in touch with me all in just under a couple of hours!  I had a VW in high school and it's taken me 35 years to find my way back to one!  hahaha I love my bug!  Thank you for being the kind of dealership that is a pleasure to work with!"

“Being at yours for the first time with a car not bought thru you, I felt treated as an old known customer.  This was just great.  In addition, you have been very flexible with timing and I was informed on the phone during the day about what needs to be done/decided and when the car was ready to get it.  Little thing I missed: the service did not get stamped in the service booklet in the glove compartment, but, I didn’t especially ask for that when I dropped the car off.”

Uli Koester,Greenville

"2000 Jetta"

“Honesty is Important, and that is what I got!  (Another nearby Volkswagen dealer) didn’t even mention a recall on the brake part, they were going to charge me $60.00 and labor for replacement,and also a (Other VW Dealer) representative in garage was rude to my wife and me. Steve White VW, you’re the best all around, I will recommend you and your entire staff!

Thanks Donnie Henderson.”

Donald Henderson,Easley

"2008 Passat"

”I especially appreciated the time estimate for service.  I called ahead to see how long it would take.  The actual time it took was exactly what was estimated.  I appreciated the honesty; It helped me plan my day and know what to expect. 

Thank you.

Dear Steve White Volkswagen
I love cars, especially Volkswagens.  We have had Volkswagens in our family for a long time.  My favorite is a four door, brown and white, long car.  Now I am only 13 and do not have a driver's license, but when I am older, I plan to buy a Volkswagen.  I definitely will come to Steve White.
Sincerely,

"Although I did not buy my Bug at your dealership, I have only had it serviced there.  I have dealt with and worked at several dealerships in the past and must say that the staff at Steve White is excellent.  Have never owned a VW before, but would definitely consider another one based on my experience at Steve White Motors.

I might also add that it is refreshing for a woman to be treated with honest respect, not a condescending attitude, in a car dealership."

thx for your note.
it's like this: i needed a headlight.
it was simple. i called. the guy who i spoke on the phone said bring my 2005 Jetta in (within 2 hrs. of my call, on a Friday afternoon no less.)
i drove up. parked.
i had a new head light and i was gone in 33 minutes-- much of that time i was over in sales contemplating a new VW.
it's this fast-prompt, no-muss/no-fuss service that you folks at Steve White deliver time and again.
ah,the service and visit can be described simply as: fabulous!
why can't the rest of the world be like this?

 be well..

E. Richard."
