  • Great deal on a certified pre-owned Atlas Sport

    5 out of 5 starsby James D on 04/18/2025

    The staff is always helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. They really go the extra mile to ensure that buying a car is enjoyable and easy. I’ve been a long time customer of Germain since the early 90’s, and Volkswagen in particular since purchasing my first GTI.

    Everyone at Germain Volkswagen was very friendly. I always saw everyone smiling, having a good time. Seemed like everyone wanted to be there, which made the time it takes to buy a car feel like it went by quickly. This is my second purchase from them. Highly recommend.

  • A great experience!

    5 out of 5 starsby Chuck on 01/13/2025

    I visited the dealership looking to learn more about the latest VW EV's and found the knowledgeable staff to be very helpful and informative. After learning about the car and taking it for a test drive, they explained the several incentives for the ID4. I had never leased a vehicle up to this point in my life, but when everything was explained, I decided to give it a go! I am very happy with the experience and quick turn around. The process was quick and easy, and I appreciate that in a purchase experience. Would highly recommend!
    • Chuck, we're delighted to hear that our team at Germain Volkswagen of Columbus made your first leasing experience a positive one! It's great to know you found the process smooth and informative. Enjoy your new VW ID4, and thanks for recommending us!

  • ID4 back to a Taos

    5 out of 5 starsby VW Jere on 01/12/2025

    Germain VW auto mall west location is the best. They always make things simple, fair, and enjoyable. I’ve bought 6 or more VWs from them because they are willing to make things work each time. I keep going back to them and always will with that kind of commitment to making VW fans for life. I’ve always had a positive experience there.
    • Thank you for your continued trust in Germain Volkswagen of Columbus! We're delighted to hear that our team consistently provides a simple, fair, and enjoyable experience. Your loyalty means the world to us, and we look forward to serving you with the same commitment in the future!

  • Great Experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Bob Web on 12/29/2024

    From the time we arrived at the dealership to walking out with the keys to latest purchase, the experience had surpassed my expectations. If anyone asks me where to purchase a vehicle, Germain Volkswagen of Columbus would be my first respond. Thank you for the great experience.

    Excellent experience. Sales staff and service go that extra mile to accommodate my personal needs. Highly recommend ! David Salyer took on the extra work and paperwork to get me in my 2024 VW
  • Good experience

    5 out of 5 starsby 1stTimeVWBuyer on 12/03/2024

    Ian was respectful and knows how to read the customer. He asked the right questions to allow us to investigate the different Tiguan trims without taking us directly to the most-expensive. Despite his being a car salesman, he didn’t come across right away as trying to “work an angle” (even though he did talk me into a Tech Shield which was essentially just a large screen protector for $199.) It was quite cold that day, and I was tired from the recent holiday, so I forgot to check it out before I signed the paperwork. My bad. All in all, I am pleased with the 0% apr. If you’re looking for a good salesperson experience while overpaying as is the usual for new car purchases, Ian Napier is your man. At least you’ll have a polite man who doesn’t come off as arrogant and doesn’t act like he’s doing you a favor.
  • Professionalism and Transparency is still alive even in 2024

    5 out of 5 starsby kriskaze on 11/12/2024

    car buying is extremely stressful as the fear of getting screwed over is always lingering in the back of our minds. Germain VW of Columbus immediately dissipated all those concerns and reservations by being open and honest about everything concerning the car i was interested in. no markups no hidden fees no arbitrary addons no bait and switch just to squeeze more money out of a potential customer. i was allowed to test drive the car and get a feel for it which is something my local b-lot J-Rus Inc. would not allow me to do which discouraged me from doing further business with them as i take that as a sign of bad customer service and a red flag. even though Germian VW was 4 hours away i gladly drove down with my father to do business with them just from the professionalism and welcoming demeanor from the initial phone call. any questions i had to ask they answered with no hesitation and no sugarcoating. they gave me a great deal on a rare hidden gem of a car that had one of the cleanest and detailed carfax reports i have ever seen. i would like to thank Abraham for reaching out to me and handling all the details to finalize the deal. the entire process took about 150+ minutes but there were no hiccups or delays and it went very smooth. they even gave the car a final detailing and filled it up with a full thank of gas. i didnt know dealership still did that let alone for a used car. it is nice to go somewhere and be treated with respect with a desire to do business. the b-lot treated me like i really wasnt worth the time and i was shooting above my station by denying me things that any potential customer would expect to be able to do before making a final decision to buy a car. Germain VW was the exact opposite and i am grateful for their friendly and receptive treatment of me. highly recommended :)
  • Lewis found the car!

    5 out of 5 starsby Dave Webb on 11/01/2024

    Lewis went above and beyond to get THE car I really wanted and got me the deal I wanted as well. Also once the car arrived at the dealership closed the deal within the hour.
  • 2024 Atlas Cross Sport

  • A Brand New Experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Yaelshan on 10/18/2024

    I was very very nervous, the salesman made this a very calm, straight forward situation. I did not expect to walk in and be able to drive the car off of the lot the next day. I thought the process would be grueling, intimidating and extensive. It was all very simple thanks to every department that worked with me.
  • Get a new car without all the stress

    5 out of 5 starsby Alyssa on 10/18/2024

    I bought a Taos and couldn’t be more excited. I worked with Lewis, who was great, he made me comfortable right from the beginning. I really hate the car buying/shopping process but everyone there made it actually enjoyable. Not only did they listen to my wants and needs, they catered to them. I would highly recommended stopping by for your next car purchase!
  • David was great to work with!

    5 out of 5 starsby Brittany on 10/15/2024

    I found my Kia Sportage online at Germain in Columbus. I was hesitant to even contact the dealership because I’m in Detroit. I figured it would be a hassle. I was very wrong. This experience was the easiest and quickest car buying process than any previous car buying experiences. I purchased my vehicle on a Thursday and it was in my driveway in Detroit, Michigan that next Monday by 4pm. David was very easy to work with. Making sure I was always in the loop. He was extremely patient with me and all my questions and was very honest with his answers. I would highly recommend this dealership and David, my salesman.
  • Great Experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Liv on 09/22/2024

    Abe and the people working along side him were absolutely amazing. They were patient and willing to work with me with the trade of my old vehicle and the purchase of my new vehicle. I never felt pressured to buy and would highly recommend Germain Volkswagen to anyone and everyone in need of a new vehicle. It was truly a pleasure working with everyone!
  • Excellent service. Easy peasy.

    5 out of 5 starsby Eric on 09/05/2024

    No high pressure and very accommodating.
  • Fabulous experience!

    I live 3 hours away, so much of the preliminary work was done online and through email. Jacob was so wonderful to get things rolling before we even got there, and patiently answered all my questions through email, for days. Once we got there, he had everything ready for us to test drive. The whole process was smooth, and easily the best car buying experience we’ve had. The whole team was efficient, helpful and friendly. Jacob was a joy to work with! I’d highly recommend buying from him. And will keep Germain in mind next time we have to buy a car. It was worth the long drive!
