    I purchased my brand new tiguan R line there last year since then I have not to this location whatsoever., this was the worst experience of my life buying a vehicle, I feel taking advantage of . every single person in this location is so nasty to speak with non-helpful and very unprofessional I will write this review in all the form as possible I will never again go to this location in my life thank you for nothing.
  • Don’t trust!

    1 out of 5 starsby Jk on 05/18/2025

    Sold me a car completed credit check took deposit put sold sign on car and sent me a pic. Later called me and said computer glitch car was already sold. Just lied! Had a different salesman call and never had manager get back to me with an apology. Too busy they said. Terrible business people

  • Avoid Yancarlo Garcia

    1 out of 5 starsby Jennifer Gibson on 10/16/2021

    Normally I don't waste my time writing reviews, but I feel I had to with this one. I am only giving 1 star because 0 is not an option. If you can please avoid this dealership specially because of general sales manager Yancarlo Garcia, the nastiest sales person I have ever had to deal. He basically threw me out of the dealership just because I did not agree with the numbers he gave me, he just turned his back on me and walked away before I could say anything, I am sure if it was a man standing in front of him he would not have acted that way. Not only that, I called before hand to see if they had the car I wanted, so that I wouldn't drive from Homestead to Hialeah for no reason, I am a nurse and I had worked the nightshift the day before and I did not want to make that drive for no reason, but when I got there they said they had just sold that car and the system had not been updated. I do have to say the other sales staff like Fermin and Luis were nice and helpful, however just because of Yancarlo Garcia I will never do business with this dealership as long as he is part of the staff.

  • Missing Manual, Spare Key, and Wrong Address on Registration

    1 out of 5 starsby Ashley H on 03/02/2021
    updated 03/09/2021

    Took my old Passat in for service, but unfortunately what needed to be repaired almost exceeded the value of the car so I declined the service. Danny Tano helped get me into a 2019 Jetta with all the bells and whistles, as well as assisted me with lowering my car insurance rate and deferred payment. He worked with me when I was in a very difficult position personally and financially, and I feel like he had my interests at heart as well as those of his employer where all parties walked away a winner. I will absolutely be referring people to Palmetto 57 to purchase their next car, and I’ll be sending them to Danny for the best and most honest sales experience I’ve had when buying or leasing a new car. Thank you Danny! **Edit** I have to change my 5-star rating to a 1-star because I have been trying to get in touch with someone from the dealership for over a year because I was given my car without an owner’s manual or my extra car key, but I have had no success. I text Danny and he says he’s sending my key and manual, but then there’s no follow through. I email the dealership every few months and have never heard back. At this point I’m going to have to mask up and come down to the dealership to try and get answers in person, and during this pandemic that is not at all desirable. I will be stalking them until I get my belongings, and I’ll be taking my future business elsewhere. **Second Edit** These geniuses filled out my registration (which they never gave me along with my missing owner's manual and second key!) with the WRONG ADDRESS! I cannot renew my car insurance without paying all of these stupid fees and filling out forms with the county because of their incompetence. If I could turn this damn car in today and do business with another dealer, I would RUN to do so. Never ever ever again! Buyer more than beware with these folks.

  • Horrible Experience

    1 out of 5 starsby Raquel Sultan on 12/05/2019

    I had the most horrible experience at Palmetto57. I got hit with hefty hidden fees after I leased my Jetta even though I was reassured that there wouldn't be. I tried calling multiple times and left multiple messages and NOONE had the decency of returning my calls. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this dealership to anyone.

  • No communicstion

    1 out of 5 starsby Hmart33015 on 05/28/2019
    updated 06/04/2019

    Ordered a simple touch up paint pen a month ago which I was told it takes a week to arrive. I went 2 weeks later to see if it arrived since I never heard from any one; counter employee told me it takes a month or more for manufacturer to deliver. I called a month after purchase, and the person that answered told me it was returned because it was in their parts department over a month. Long story short, NO communication and I'm VERY disappointed that no one contacted me at any time regarding my order. It might be a simple $17 purchase, but if they drop the ball on something that small, I can't imagine for any serious issue. Having said that, I will go to the parts department for a refund and will shop at another dealership. NOT this one.

  • worse customer service ever!

    1 out of 5 starsby luciak18 on 03/03/2018

    HORRIBLE SERVICE! Francisco (the seller) was great, very respectful and attentive to details, however, he is not being helped by the unprofessional treatment we received from the managers (Jesus Espinoza and Miguel Acosta) they were both rude. Jesus treated us like he was making us a favor and Miguel was more focused on going home than to answer our questions. Honestly, I didn't leave because I had waited for 4 hours already to get to the signing point and I just didn't have time to start over in another dealer, but I wILL never go back to this dealer.
