Reviews of Swickard Volkswagen of Anchorage
Callie
This was my first time purchasing a vehicle on my own and the Swickard Volkswagen team members couldn’t have made my experience more smooth and enjoyable! Representative, Adam Poole, was very polite, engaging and achieved beyond my expectations with his customer service excellence. I did not feel at all pressured during the deal. Additionally, they were very generous on compromising with me during the trade-in of my previous vehicle which took me by surprise. Overall, I would definitely rate my experience a solid 5 stars and am looking forward to working with them again in the future!
Chaylene Mills
Such amazing fast service from Eleazar T. And his team! I definitely was in a time crunch and couldn’t be more happy with the effort he put into helping me find something perfect for me. He didn’t push, wasn’t rude, and didn’t try to sell me on something that was out of my price range. Over all an amazing experience and will 100% be going back! (Including Mike, awesome finance guy to work with) Found myself a great commuter car for a great price! Go check ‘em out!!🥰

Second time buying from Kendall Volkswagen the last couple years and have thoroughly enjoyed each experience. Eleazar was a super helpful salesman and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. Herman & Luis were also extremely helpful and kind through the entire experience and made sure my cars and I were well taken care of. They all made the process seamless and easy, making sure I didn’t have to hangout any longer than necessary.
Jason Trent
Samantha was absolutely amazing to work with! She went out of her way to accommodate me and find just the right car for my son. 10/10 recommended would matter what Kendall lot I needed a car from she would be who I went back to! Look forward to working with her again!
jeanette nienaber
GREAT experience working with Eleazar, Anthony and Justin! I have been searching for a new vehicle x 2 years and have been very stressed about this decision. Eleazar was not pushy like most other salesman and just wanted me to be happy with what I was purchasing. He helped ease my anxieties and made this decision smooth and simple for me. I could not be happier and will definitely return back in the future and would HIGHLY recommend you ask for this team if considering a vehicle purchase!
ieva mikalauskas
I bought a brand new car & it was the fastest service so far compared to the other times i spent in dealerships. The people who helped were super kind & made things happen quickly! My salesman was Eleazar, sales manager was Herman, and finance manager was Jack Price!
If you would like to come in and check out a car definitely look for these people to make your process as smooth as possible. I love my new car & happy to have all the benefits that come with getting it under volkswagon.
Amillia Bohlken
Was a good experience! Eleazar T. stayed a little later than close two different days to try and help me out! He was good at explaining all the details of the car. I love my new Tiguan and can’t wait to take it on a little road trip! Just excellent service. Anthony the sales manager was helpful as well with my trade in and talking to me about getting a Volkswagen as well. Kumbi the finance manager was helpful at explaining all the details of the contract and being patient with me. First new car and couldn’t be more happy.

If you’re looking for an honest, knowledgeable person to help you with your car purchase, you need to ask for Eleazar Torino at Swickard VW of Anchorage. We appreciated his no pressure approach, his friendly demeanor and his interest in ensuring we were satisfied with our car choice. We feel that Eleazar took the time to listen to where we wanted to be at with the purchase price. He was also very considerate of our time as we didn’t have a lot of it to spend at the dealership due to other commitments we had. It was the first time a dealership car purchase was actually pleasant and we attribute that all of that to Eleazar. We must also mention how incredible Finance Manager Jack Pierce was In completing the finance paperwork. Again, we were very limited on time and he rocked through the process while ensuring that we understood all the documentation we were signing. Thank you for the positive car buying experience, Eleazar and Jack! You definitely deserve this five-star rating!
Isabella Chisum
Had a wonderful experience purchasing my new 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan with Eleazar. He was super helpful and took the time to work with us- It was a long process, we started looking in october of 2021 but where waiting for the perfect vehicle. He was consistent and reached out to us throughout the months, always letting us know when new vehicles that would be a good fit. Super happy with the overall experience with the entire dealership. Very friendly and outgoing individuals that really make you feel comfortable and confident.
Jessica Kennedy
I am so excited that Eleazor helped me get a car today!! He honestly made the process super smooth and amazing. He made sure he didn’t go Beyond what I told him I could afford. He made sure I was comfortable with everything with the car. I couldn’t be more excited! Also thanks to the finance manager (Luis) for helping me and making sure everything was squared away before I left. Buying a car right now hasn’t been easy! With such small inventory he made sure to get something I would love! Also a big thanks to the sales manager (Ant) for always answering all the question, trust me there was a lot. But I would recommend this place I called them the night before and he was had everything ready for me to come in the next day!! They are all very respectful and willing to help. Their service was amazing!
Jarek Halat
Greeted by friendly sales associates who weren't pushy and didn't rush me. They made me feel comfortable and made extra efforts to accommodate my needs. Top notch service, I'll be dealing with only these guys from now on. No other dealership even comes close!
Joshua Small
HUGE shout out to Eleazar Torino for getting me into one of my dream cars since highschool. He made the whole experience painless, quick, easy, and pleasant. Also want to thank Mike Polak for making sure I got the best rate possible and Herman Olaes for getting his team together to make this happen so late on a Monday night. I really do appreciate how they all worked hard for me to drive off in this vehicle and worked late! Truly dedicated team and I will for sure recommend anyone looking to Kendall VW and Eleazar.
cameron evans
Thanks to the great people at Swickard Volkswagen of Anchorage. My experience at the dealership was top notch and I highly recommended them. Eleazar Torino, Herman Olaes, and Jack Price made me feel like I was part of their Volkswagen family, and I would easily go back again. My wife recently got into an accident and it’s been really hard trying to find a new vehicle but after stopping by they made it really easy. If you’re looking for great service, I recommend you stop in to Volkswagen of anchorage

Working with Eleazar was an amazing car buying experience in this crazy market. We loved the car and the process so much we bought 2 from him. Everyone on the team, from Eleazar en sales, and the sales and finance managers, were very helpful and this dealership must have a great management team, The atmosphere is very pleasant and enjoyable. No pushy sales guys and good value for todays market.
Thanks guys, I’ll be back when need another car!
***Update ***
Again, I can’t Thank the marvelous team at Kendall VW for making the process so seamless and quick to navigate. Eleazar, my “ salesman” ( he’s actually more like a car guru) knew exactly what I wanted and kept me up to date with availability and timelines.
I was traveling when he told me car had arrived. He prepped all the paperwork and even came in on his day off to ensure I was taken care of 🙏.
He and Antonio ( Sales manager) were able to get me a great deal on the car and Kumbi ( finance manger) sealed the deal to tie it all together.
This is my 3rd car from them and they always make us feel welcomed.
I can’t thank you guys enough for all the work you do behind the scenes to make it happen!

Recently had a great experience purchasing a SUV at Kendall. The purchasing process was quick and easy. Went in looking for a specific model but they didn’t have stock in. Eleazar was my salesman and was great in showing me a comparable model which I ended up going with. He was patient and knowledgeable which is very appreciated. The purchase process went smoothly and I got what I thought was a fair deal for my trade-in. I did run across a few hiccups the day after bringing the car home but have to say I am very pleased with the outcome from the management team. I highly recommend Kendall and especially the team that helped me with my purchase. Thanks so much, guys! I love my new Volkswagen! If you’re in the market ask for Eleazar Torino, Salesman; Anthony Manacio, Sales Manager; Mike Polak, Finance Manager.
Christian Champaco
It was definitely a pleasure working with the team at Kendall Volkswagen here in Anchorage. Eleazar Torino is the best salesman I've ever worked with, he was on board from the beginning, about my price point and what I needed in a car. The market right now is wild, and I was updated immediately when inventory arrived which was definitely helpful. El really made me feel like he cared about getting me in the right vehicle, and that's what happened.
When I finally decided on my 2022 Taos S the process was seamless and I'm grateful for all the help the team at Kendall provided. It's still unreal!
Mike Polak and Anthony Manacio were very helpful during the rest of the buying process, clear answers for all the questions I had.
Definitely give Kendall a visit if you're in the market for a car because you will not be disappointed with this team.
Ashley Colley
Matt and the entire sales team were exceptionally helpful and patient as we navigated our way around helping our 18 year old son buy his first car. We found the listing earlier in the day and responded and were almost immediately contacted to set up an appointment to test drive the car. As the day progressed it began to snow and that didn't deter anything. Matt had the car warmed up and ready when we arrived and was super patient while our son test drove it. He answered every question our son had and offered a lot of great information. Once we returned and decided it was the car for him, Matt and his supervisor spoke with all of us and made the deal work with zero hassle. There wasn't any haggling back and forth or any of the tactics that you often see at dealerships. Everyone was incredibly professional. Everyone was very appreciative of the business and thanked us for it. This was, by far, the best car buying experience I've ever had and I will definitely go back when my husband or I decide to purchase another vehicle. I 100% recommend Matt and his sales team.
Barbra Gilliland
We looked for a new car for months!! Eleazar Torino our sales agent is absolutely AMAZING🥇🥇🥇 He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and reassuring that he could get me the car I "WANTED"!! He was always very prompt in returning my text and calls with the 1000's of questions I had throughout the buying process.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY TIGUAN!!!!
Thank you so very much El, I couldn't have done it without you!!!!

We came in looking for something to replace our SUV that's seen better days. I specifically came here to test drive a new Tiguan. Salesman Eleazar Torino came out to greet us, and I was super excited to go on my test drive. Turns out I left my phone with my DL at home though. Super bummed and thinking I was gonna have to drive all the way back home, Eleazar sprang into action and offered to drive me back to my place in the Tiguan to get my DL!! What FANTASTIC customer service!! We headed to my place grabbed the DL and I was able to test drive the new Tiguan on the way back. The Tiguan was spot on and I was definitely interested in buying. When we got back to the dealership the sales manager Kelsey Amara came out to meet us. She was so friendly and just one of those humans you can instantly tell are good people. We went inside and they worked the numbers. They went above and beyond to get me the right deal without any pressure. The process was smooth and comfortable. We then met up with the finance manager Justin Fisher. Justin was very personable and had the connections needed to push through our credit app with the bank in a timely manner. Not to mention he was fun to coversate with and gave us all the information we needed to make a decision.
The entire team at Swickard is phenomenal and I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for some new wheels here anyday.
In fact, I have never left a dealership feeling so happy and confident that I got a fantastic car at a fantastic price. This place is top notch with even better staff!! 👌
I'm incredibly excited to be the owner of a brand new 2022 Tiguan SEL R line!! Thanks guys!! ❤

Shane Simbre (Sales) with his posse Anthony Manacio (Sales Mgr) and Kumbi Jarvis (Finance Mgr) at Kendal Volkswagen were rockstars.
We were looking for a new vehicle to help save on Gas and Shane was awesome helping as out. He followed up and emailed as well as called to let us know there were a few new options. With the market being so crazy we knew that new vehicles are almost impossible to find. Shane pulled through and hooked us up with a new vehicle. We never felt pressured and enjoyed the experience. The team got us financed and out of there fast and pressure free. Highly recommend going with Shane and his team. He will be honest and getter done!
Martha Brookbank
I purchased my first brand new car in May from VW of Anchorage, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Eleazar was my salesman. He listened to my wants and needs, explained the process clearly, and communicated often and well to keep me updated on the status of when my car would be arriving. In addition, Kumbi helped me with the financing side of things. She got a better interest rate for me from AK USA than I could get on my own, even though I've been a member for over 16 years. Kumbi was lovely to work with and very professional. I would recommend her and Eleazar to anyone. Thanks again!
Malcolm McCallum
I started off the car buying experience by looking at local inventory around Anchorage and the surrounding areas on the internet. I kept coming back to Swickard Volkswagen of Anchorage, so I reached out to a sales representative, Adam Poole. He conveniently setup an appointment for me, which was great. Shortly after arriving at the dealer, Adam showed me some of the cars I was interested in and he answered all of my questions. Took the car for a test drive and decided to seal the deal. The whole process was smooth and seamless. I never once felt pressured to make a decision, which was a huge plus. Adam provided me with all the information needed to make an informed and sound decision. Adam was very professional, patient, polite, and we were able to relate on a interpersonal level, which was great! The finance gentleman, Justin, was also a pleasure to work with. He provided me with all the information needed to make informed decisions as well, with regards to the financing portion. The great part about Justin, was that he was able to work with me on some details regarding the financing, which after I left the dealer, I felt great about the end result.
Overall, I had a great experience dealing with Swickard Volkswagen of Anchorage and would definitely recommend working with Adam Poole, salesperson at Swickard Volkswagen for your future vehicle purchase!! Excellent team feel there at the dealership!!
Adam Aldinger
Eleazar and the whole team were a absolute pleasure to work with. It was hands down the best buying experience I have had and the fast deal closure. Would recommend him and the dealership to anyone!
Colleen Green
We had a wonderful experience with Kendall VW. We felt no pressure buying this vehicle. Everyone was very patient and went out of their way to help us. I am in love with my VW Atlas Cross Sport. I would recommend it to everyone. A big shout out to our salesman Eleazar Torino, sales manager Herman Olaes and finance manager Luis Mangandi. They all made the process easy and went over and beyond to make sure we knew everything we needed to know. Make sure you look out for these guys when your there looking for a car!
Benjamin Glenn
I had just been in a car accident and my Volkswagen Jetta was totaled. So, I went to the dealership to see if they could get me in something better. Eleazar Torino was my salesman that helped me look for something. He came across a 2016 Volkswagen CC with all the options and showed me it. I didn't think my credit would be able to swing it, but with the help of the Sales manager Anthony Manacio and the Finance manager Kumbi Jarvis, not only was I able to get a loan for the vehicle, but I was able to get a lower interest rate than I ever had before! Excellent work by all three professional people. They definitely deserve a raise or a bonus! Absolutely so happy with my experience and will definitely be coming back here for my next vehicle. Thank you Eleazar! You are so cool 😎
alexia robledo
Best dealership!!!! the whole staff is great and very helpful, The wonderful man who helped me out, his name was Eleazor!!! At the time i was shipping out to my Duty station, might i add not even in the state of Alaska and they still were in great contact with me and helped me with any concern i possibly had with money, finding a loan, and finding the perfect first car that suits me the best. I had a wonderful experience financing my first vehicle here.
Josie Kohler
I had a great experience of taking delivery of our vehicle. Even though it was delayed by the worlds ongoing shipping delays, they managed to make it quick, seamless, and organized. Definitely would order from them again!
Thanks again to Brittany McCormick for coordinating my delivery and test drives on short notice and Eleazar Torino and Sales Mgr: Anthony Manacio for staying late to give me a rundown on how it all works. Kumbi Jarvis was by far the best part of our experience and I appreciate all the time she took to explain the options and make the paperwork easy and painless!
Jennieve Vigil
Shout out to Eleazar Torino and Jack Price for making my brother’s first car purchase memorable. Eleazar met with my brother and took his time to show him his options, and answer all his questions. Eleazar was also very patient when we needed time to consider the purchase since I was the co-signer. Ultimately, we decided to move forward with the it and my brother decided to take home the ‘22 VW Jetta. Regarding financing, Eleazar introduced us to Jack. Working with Jack made the overall process seamless and quick. He was prepared, detailed, and made signing papers fun. In the end, my brother is happy and he loves his new car. Thank you both for helping to make this happen.
jeff slaughter
I’m a grumpy old man and had sworn off ever going to a dealer to buy another vehicle…until I walked into Kendall Volkswagen. Shane Simbre greeted me as a friend would. We shared a few stories and I test drove a nice Crosstrek. I returned a day later and rolled out in a new-to-me ‘20 Crosstrek. Think I’ll call it “The Pumpkin”.
Both Shane and Kumbi Jarvis made the deal as easy as meeting friends for coffee and a conversation. (There can only be one Kumbi !-)
Thanks to all at Kendall VW.

Kyla Steward
I walked into VW of Anchorage with intentions of test driving to confirm I wanted a car from a different dealer. I was connected with Adam Poole and he was great from start to finish. He addressed my budget and made numbers work where I wanted to be, addressed and matched me to a vehicle that had all the features (and WAY MORE!) I *needed* in a new vehicle, walked me through all the features, and made the entire deal very low-pressure and transparent. To me, this is huge. Highly recommend working with Adam (at Swickard VW in Anchorage) and he will set you up with the vehicle you need with the features you want. I'd happily buy another vehicle here in the future.
Luke Almon
Shout out to Eleazer for spending the time to find me a Golf GTI, and reaching out as soon as one arrived at the dealership. He spent the time to make the deal right and was quick to respond when I had questions.
Malzaiah Rubit
Great place to go for new cars. Luis was my dealer. I told him I was a first time buyer and he walked me through all the steps in buying a new car. Had a a wonderful time there. Prolly should’ve ate before going but they offered me coffee and had great customer service all the way through. The car was everything I could want and more in one.
Christina Jones
I had such a wonderful experience with Eleanzar and his team. I could not be happier with his customer service, and his knowledge of the product. He was not pushy and let me take my time finding the car that was perfect for me. I would highly recommend his services to anyone!
Courtney Kujansuu
Probably one of the best car buying experiences we have had. Couldn’t be happier about our purchase. Special thanks to Eleazar Torino and Jack Price for being so easy to work with.
Alexa Stanley
My link they sent wouldn’t work so I hope this still counts for them! Service was great, booked my oil change & was able to drop it off & be out the door within a few minutes, they called me once it was done & even notified me that I needed a new air filter! :)
Lucas Hatley
Had an awesome experience buying my truck! If you are considering buying a car here definitely talk to luis!
Darnell Green
My experience at Volkswagen was awesome!! My sales person (Eleazar Torino) was freaken awesome!! Very patient with me and worked with his team diligently to get me a great price on my new car 😁 The whole sales team made me feel welcomed and almost at home. SITTING SIDE WAYS!!! That's an inside joke lol but much love to all the guys and gals at Volkswagen!!! I'll refer them to family and friends. Thanks again all of you!!!
Salesman: Eleazar Torino
Sales Mgr: Kelsey Amara

I purchased a 2023 Taos on November 3rd. Adam and the managers did a great job with communicating and making a deal with my boyfriend and I. We love our new car and thank you Swickard!
Robin Dern
After a recent accident totaled our car we were a little slow to go out car shopping. At first we thought we could make it through the winter with one car (front wheel drive at that). Finally we dragged out and we were glad to have made it to Kendall Volkswagen. Brendan made the process easy and put up with our several days of test driving with encouragement and a smile. Everyone there treated us kindly and they were all exceptionally helpful. We ended up with an almost new Honda Pilot (we love Honda’s). It was a great deal on a make we’ve owned before. However, the Atlases, Volkswagen’s version in that class, were amazing cars. Had they not really wanted to move the Pilot, we would have driven home the Atlas. This is a dealership that doesn’t mess around, they pull up the Carfax and do research first thing. They are willing to drive to other lots around town to show inventory and they are very accommodating if you want to take a used vehicle to your own mechanic. We may be in the market for something smaller in the near future, I would definitely visit any Kendall dealership for my needs. They have specials going all the time and a great website, put them on your list if you are in the market.
Jay Curry
Swickard can plop down a huge chunk of change to buy multiple dealerships in anchorage but cannot manage to provide shuttle service to their customers who don't have anyone to take them back and forth when they leave their vehicles to be worked on. Spent about $25 to get home. I can only work part time so I'm not rolling around in a pile of money. Couldn't really afford that. Seriously. Get a Lyft corporate account like Lithia.
Alexander Stockel
HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE! Eleazar Torino is the man and as well as the entire team that helped me out with my brand new 2022 tiguan. Definitely would recommend!
sharon gratrix
I am so happy to recommend Kendall Volkswagen and specifically Shane my salesman. He was so helpful and has followed up to make sure I am happy and familiar with all my car can do! I really enjoyed spending time with him. He was nice to my kiddos that were hanging out and gave them a tour as well. Actually all of the staff was very friendly and helpful and seem happy to see me when I stopped in for my paperwork. I have told everyone how nice you guys were! And I LOVE my ATLAS !
Selma Khan
I have to say this was the most seamless process for me. I reached out to Car Salesman, Eleazar Torino and let him know of my situation and he painted a picture of reality, but in the most respectful and honest way. The challenges of the pandemic have effected day to day life for me and it was time to pull the plug for a second vehicle. Not what anyone wants to deal with already, but the team: Eleazar, Sales Manager, Herman Olaes, and Finance Director, Luis Mangandi, all went out of their way to make this a pleasant experience. This team had clear communication of all scenarios and made it an easy transaction. One happy customer here! I'd recommend Kendall Volkswagen team any day!
Anthony Bennett
Sales manager Herman Olaes and finance manager Kumbi Jarvis helped Me purchase my last two vehicles. They are a real pleasure to work with really easy going and polite. Salesman Eleazar Torino helped me find a vehicle I really liked didn’t try to press me into buying one that was a little out of my budget. Got back to me when one became available that was close to my price range and gave me a deal. Best car buying experience I’ve had
Corey Kleist
Kendall Volkswagen made my car buying experience easy and stress free! My sales rep, Eleazar Torino answered all my questions and went above and beyond to get the car i wanted, as soon as it was off the truck. He has continued to check in periodically to make sure it is treating me well and that i dont have any further questions. The Finance Director Luis Mangandi and Sales Manager Anthony Manacio were extremely helpful as well! I dont like shopping at a dealership, but I loved shopping at kendall Volkswagen. 10/10!
Michael Vigil
Much thanks and appreciation to the extraordinary team of Eleazar Torino, JP Baquiran, Herman Olaes, and Luis Mangandi! I was in/out of the dealership with the trade in and into a Ford Raptor in record time. They were the benchmark of a truly enjoyable streamlined car purchase experience. Thanks again!
Ron Hadden
Great experience with the sales team of EleazarTorino (salesman), Herman Olaes (Sales Mgr) and Finance Mgr (Mike Polak) on the purchase of my A5 Sportback.. They certainly worked hard to earn my business and very happy with the experience and especially the follow up by Eleazar. I didn't think it was going to happen but they were a superb group of individuals who helped me. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention Cody Holland in service who also kept Eleazor in touch with me while l decided what to do with my 2008 A6. Thanks folks and looking forward to doing more business.
Mike Shaw
Just purchased a 2022 Atlas Crossover, the whole dealership team was fantastic to work with. Preordered in the fall and car showed up on time and with everything that was promised. Eleazar, Herman, and Mike made this purchase very simple and comfort level with them was over the top.
It is a pleasure to see this business values customer service and appreciates their customers.
A team you can be proud of Kendall Volkswagen!
Sean OBrien
This is the third car we’ve bought from them. Every time it has been a great experience. Eleazor did an incredible job helping us out. I honestly feel like he did his best to give us a great deal. We had a friend buying at the same time (his first time buying a new car). They even gave him the same deal they gave us, just to help him out.
Their customer service and communication to their customers is top notch. Thanks guys!

Casie Warner
Sales reps Brittney Mccromick and Eleazar Torino were such great help before and after my pre ordered ID.4 arrived at their dealership. They went above and beyond in answering my questions. Both were very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Finance Manager Luis Mangandi made the numbers and financing enjoyable which is a skill in its self. Last but not least was the friendly demeanor of the sales manger Anthony Manacio who really helped create a environment that felt like my friends living room while also keeping it professional. I am excited to be part of the VW family.
Trevor
Simply a great car buying experience at Kendall VW. We've purchased a lot of vehicles from other dealers in the past. This was without a doubt the smoothest we've ever experienced.
Eleazar - our salesman - was super helpful. He had all the answers to our questions. The sales manager Herman was very welcoming and personable. Kumbi in Finance was a joy to work with. A great vibe from everyone. We will definitely be back!
Andrew Metcalf
Amazing experience from my sales man JP Baquiran who let me know as soon as my dream car arrived on the floor, to working with the sales manger Anthony Manacio 5 working the deal and helping me get to where I wanted to be, even my finance manager Kumbi Jarvis helped me get the rates and loan length I was hunting for. Just a great all around experience from beginning to end could not be happier with my new 2022 Volkswagen R. Thank you everyone.
Shelimar Rivera
Eleazar Torino went above and beyond to help me even before I arrived to Alaska. He was able to answer all of my questions and made the process a very smooth one. The sales manager Anthony Manacio and Finance manager Kumbi Jarvis were great as well!
Hannah sekula
Eleazar Torino had been staying in touch with my husband in the most polite and not aggressive pushy way. Once we were ready and had what I wanted El and Anthony Manacio worked with us on numbers and made everybody happy! Mike Polak was thorough and swift and getting our paperwork done. I 100% recommend anyone to go see them for your next car.
Jedidiah Pollard
Eleazar and Brittany were super informative and helpful throughout the car buying process. Very dope people to work with when your buying your very first car.
Brandon Lagomarsino
We started looking for a new car a few months ago but due to medical emergencies it got put on hold but thanks to Eleazar Torino he didn’t put any pressure on a deal but did a great job of keeping me informed of what was coming on the lot to look at. Once we were ready he has all the models we wanted to look at pulled up front and warmed up for a test drive. It felt like he truly was on our team to get a great deal and we feel like we got the best possible. That’s to Anthony Manacio for getting us the trade in value that we were looking for to make this deal work. Mike Polak had our paperwork set and all ready to go it was in and out of his office in a hurry which was great because we had dinner reservations and they didn’t have to hustle but everything about the experience was smooth!
Jacob Kies
I had an amazing experience at Kendall Volkswagen of anchorage. Eleazar with Kendall VW/Audi and sales manager Herman Olaes. Made sure that the deal worked and went through. I would definitely go to them for your needs. They will take care of you.

I absolutely very much enjoyed my experience at Kendall Volkswagen!!
I came in and test drove a vehicle and told Eleazar Torino what exactly I wanted in a vehicle and when I returned he had the vehicle of my dreams warmed up and ready to test drive for me!!! :)
Everyone was so pleasant and fast at getting the paperwork process done as well!!
Highly recommend them!! They will find the car of all your needs and wants 🤗
Thank you
Herman Oleas, Kumbi Jarvis and Eleazar Torino for all your help!!

Just bought our new 2020 Atlas. Absolutely love it! JP helped us out through the whole process and it went so smooth and soo easy. He was able to show us 2 versions of what we were looking for, test drove both, and even got a loaner vehicle while our Atlas was being worked on. Communication is important to me and JP was on top of it. Thank you to JP for making the purchase process a great one! Definitely will be working with JP on our next vehicle purchase and will passing the word around to friends and family.

I just purchased a brand new Taos and Eleazar was incredibly helpful, he had answers for all my questions and made the process very easy. I highly recommend this place and will be happy to come back when I get a new vehicle.

I went into Kendall VW because I submitted an instant cash offer through the KBB website. I met with Steven Lamm to get my vehicle appraised, and within minutes I had a great offer on my vehicle. Steven was a gentleman through and through. He treated me with the utmost respect, and was fast and efficient with our transaction. During my visit I expressed my interest to buy a secondary vehicle to a salesperson named Luis Pedraza. Luis was not pushy in any way. He was extremely patient with my wife and I, and was extremely accommodating. I was there for hours, and test drove at least 5 vehicles. Luis was super patient and never once tried rushing us or anything. Chill as could be, he would get me key after key for my test drives. I mean he was awesome! Once I decided on the vehicle, I was able to negotiate a great deal on the car. They dropped almost $3K off the price! Blew my mind, that not only was everyone super great with us, but then they gave us a great deal. I have bought three vehicles since my move to Alaska, and have visited countless dealerships. Luis and the team there at Kendall auto is hands down the best I’ve encountered. They will be my first stop next time I’m out buying a car. Great customer service! I would recommend them to anyone. Ask for Luis, he was awesome!
Nikole Schick
Thank you to Eleazar and the team at Swickard VW for making my transaction so easy! I appreciate the help in purchasing my new VW and the communication I received as a buyer from Fairbanks.
Kevin Blanchard
Just bought a new Jetta GLI from Kendall. Car is great and the customer service from the sales rep, Eleazar Torino was outstanding! Also appreciate the sales manager, Anthony Manacio, putting me with Eleazar after a brief conversation with Anthony about a different sales person that was not providing the customer service I was looking for. Also kudos to Sami Hart in internet sales and Kumbi in the business office for outstanding help. Overall, extremely satisfied with the customer service at Kendall VW.
Michael Brubaker
Thank you Eleazar and Swickard. The experience with ordering, delivery and purchasing of our vehicle was excellent.

I had a problem with my car and was able to take it back the next day and have the problem totally resolved with as little trouble as posable. Many thanks to Cheyene Thomas who went to great lengths to assure my satisfaction with the purchase of my Atlas. She makes car buying a pleasant endeavor.
Mesiah
This was the best car-buying experience I've ever had, bar none. The consideration and care they took with getting me into the car I wanted was incredible. Stellar customer service, no pushy sales tactics, top-notch sales/finance team, and the entire purchasing process was seamless. A very big thank you to Mark Rescober, Anthony Manacio, and my brother Junior Frigillana for following through and making things happen.
Gentlemen - a VERY BIG thank you. I appreciate your knowledge, kindness, and accommodating my every request. This is how purchasing a car should be done!
Kim Boggs
Shane and Herman were fantastic!!! They hooked me up with my new ride and I love it!! And a shout out to Stephanie from Kendall Wasilla for setting it all up!
Latayzha Walker
I want to give a huge thanks to Max for helping me get my suv I have always wanted. He was very patient and understanding. He was super professional. Everyone that I came a cross was very nice and made me feel comfortable. Great service, Max thank you again for being such a great person.
Cole Mccrary
This is the second time buying a car from here and I love this place. Shane helped me with the last car and he was awesome. In the Finance we have had Luis Mangandi both time me and is been amazing. He makes us feel like family, helps us with the packages we need to be fully protected and cares deeply about us as a family. We are as a military family great full for the staff and for this awesome experience. If you are Military and you are reading this you can trust you are in the right place
Adam Womble
We had a great experience purchasing a vehicle from this dealership. Shane was the salesman that worked with us, and he was professional and very helpful. The whole process was quick and seamless, and we were able to drive the car off the lot without any issues. We are very happy with our purchase.
Kelsey Siefner
Herbert and Mark were amazing with finding me the car I will be driving around in for a while. It was simple and overall great customer service, Thank you for making this a good experience for a first time buyer

Working with Eleazar, Herman and Mike was an excellent transaction that I would not hesitate to do again. Customer service was excellent and they all made it a painless process. A big thanks to them.
Benjamin Seegraves
Had a bumpy buying process but the manager bent over backwards to make it right . Good customer service is so hard to find in alaska these days but this place will take care of you . Love our new Atlas and will continue buying VW ! This is our fourth .
Lori MzLEC
Traded in my Honda Pilot for an Atlas Cross Sport and couldn't have been happier! Jean Paul (JP) worked tirelessly to get me a good deal for my trade in and the experience had been beneficial. The entire process was informative and such a great learning experience. All my questions and concerns were answered.
David Lawson
I am a little late posting my review, but I purchased a 2022 VW Atlas in December. From start to finish the process was seamless and it was a great experience compared to other places I’ve been. Eleazar Torino (salesman) was excellent to work with. He actually took the time to figure out what would best work for my family and I rather than trying to push anything on me that I didn’t want. It’s nice to have a salesman and team that pay attention to the customers needs. I was shown several options in various price ranges before I finally settled on the 2022 Atlas. Overall, I have no complaints about the sales process. Eleazar was great as far as communication is concerned before and after the sale for anything I needed. I’d suggest him to anyone.
Crystal Domina
This place is amazing Eleazar is a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable salesmen. He helped me get into a vehicle that I’m amazed with. The staff beyond him is fantastic as well.Sorry for not name dropping. If I ever am in need of another vehicle or know of anyone looking I’ m definitely going to send them here.
James Atwood
It was a pleasure doing business with Kendall Volkswagen! Our salesman Eleazar Torino did and amazing job in helping us find the right car! Anthony the sales manager did a great job in getting the numbers to accommodate our needs and was able to answer all of the questions we had. kumbi Jarvis the finance manager was very kind and made the paper quick and easy.
Thank you guys for the amazing experience!
I look forward to coming back😊
Jayne Kasmar
CASSIE was THE BEST car sales person I have ever met. From the second I showed up lost on the lot, she helped me find the car I love. I am not the kind of person who does well with aggressive sales approaches, and she was exactly what I needed (let me take my time & was not too pushy). I think I went to the lot to look 3 different times over a matter of 2 weeks and she still didn't give up on me even after the first few vehicles turned out to not be for me. She did an excellent job at communicating through the whole process and doing everything in her power to help me out and find the car of my dreams at a reasonable price (not an easy task- I am VERY picky & poor, ha!).
LUIS was the person to help me through the paperwork process of buying a car for the first time by myself. He was so helpful and informative, I could tell he really wanted to make sure I felt like I wasn't getting scammed or dealing with slimy people like a lot of other car dealerships can be. He was very upfront about the car and let me know from the beginning a recall notice it had. Same as Cass, he was not too pushy and I cant explain enough how appreciative I am of that. I ended up buying a warranty for the car from him and am so happy I did as I now have that piece of mind.
Overall I had an excellent and incomparable experience buying my first car by myself, and a HUGE thank you to Cassie & Luis- I would say they are 2 of the best employees Kendall has.
Amber Bartie
Yess David S is the greatest. Gets the job done very communicative about what’s going on with your vehicle. I had to bring my vehicle back for additional work they were able to get me home and back to pick up my car safely. Extra kuddos points for that. The amount of love they put into their work really shows. The facility is impeccable. Smiling faces all around from the car salesmen to the person behind the counter. The showroom floor is great eye Candy. Would definitely recommend for great service with great quality that shows in their work. Thanks you guys for your awesome work.
Beth Brewington
Looking for a luxury vehicle, but had a budget. Jonathan Redfearn did an amazing job and found the perfect vehicle for me and one I could afford. He was professional, honest, transparent and really listened; he heard what experience I was looking for in a car. I'm thrilled with my purchase and my experience with Kendall.
Jill Kokotovich
Jonathan Redfearn was amazing while at Kendall. I was there for quite a long time and he really goes above and beyond to take care of his customer. Great sales consultant Oh and he hands out yummy snacks and water!
Teri V
Brittany McCormack was a super helpful salesperson for our recent purchase of a previously owned vehicle! No pressure , extremely professional , checking in with us after purchase, accomodating and just a pleasure to work with! She really went the extra mile! We really enjoyed our experience and would recommend Brittany and Kendall VW to others.
A U
Had yet another great experience at Kendall VW of Anchorage. Eleazar was patient, never pushy, and brilliant in keeping me informed and in contact with how things were progressing selling my vehicle back. The rest of the team, Ant, Herman, and Kumbi were all very professional and a pleasure to work with. Couldn’t recommend their services to those interested enough.
Chantavia Shelton
Ali Joseph helped make trading in my car for an suv so smooth and easy! Coming in with nothing down deposit and not the best credit! Him and everyone at Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage were AMAZING and so helpful. Me and my son are soo grateful they helped us get exactly what we wanted and needed!!!
Ward Kable
I recently went to Kendall Volkswagen with my entire family looking for a new family car. We were greeted by Shane and taken care of at a 10 out of 10 level. Shane demonstrated the Kendall slogan of Simple, Fun and Easy. He addressed every question that we had with knowledgeable experience, ensured we had a streamlined evaluation for our trade-in, and worked hard to ensure our needs were met. Purchasing a car is a big investment and it is worth evaluating the decision with someone that knows the vehicles. I highly recommend Shane and Kendall Volkswagen for your next car buying experience!
Nick Hann
Recently traded in our vehicle. Great assistance. Very easy going and relaxed. Fastest dealership experience. So many good things to say about our salesman Ray. I have done alot of deals with dealerships, Ray made it simple and easy I will go back to see him!
robert snickers
Had a great experience purchasing our Jetta! The crew on duty that day included our salesman Eleazar, the sales manager Herman and the finance manager Mike. This team worked to get us in the right car and we appreciate the service provided.
John King
I initially contacted this dealership while shopping for a vehicle as an anniversary gift. We weren't able to reach a deal at first, but as the situation evolved the salesman reached out and we were able to. Everyone I dealt with was very helpful. There was a last minute hiccup outside their control which would have prevented the vehicle from being delivered on time. BUT the salesman I was dealing with drove it himself, 2.5 hours one way, on a Friday night, so that it would be on time. I won't hesitate to shop here next time I am in the market for a vehicle.
Anika Mudge (AestheticA)
Mark and Mike were absolutely fantastic. Walked me through getting a great deal, first time buyer paperwork, were caring and considerate through all my questions, and stayed late to ensure I was completely taken care of. Amazing first vehicle purchase, and would recommend to anyone. Good job guys! Thank you again!

We had a great experience at Kendall Volkswagen here in Anchorage Alaska we found the exact car we wanted in tip-top shape at a reasonable price with excellent customer service and attention-to-detail. I highly recommend this dealership. perfect customer experience. From the moment we reached out with a brief inquiry, was responsive, extremely knowledgeable, not only about the vehicle itself, but in walking us through the entire process. It could not have been more seamless and made the process very pleasant. Their attention to detail and our satisfaction was unparalleled- going above and beyond in every aspect! Good Job.
Antonia Navidad
I had a real hard time trying to find a car. I called the dealership and Luis the Finance Manager walked me though the process. He was super friendly and easy going I felt like I was being treated like Family the whole time. He found me a car and finance for my needs and wants exactly in the way I needed. I’m very happy with my experience. Thank you Kendall Volkswagen

I bought my car over the phone. Mark was very helpful and answered all of my questions. Dealing with Mike to get all the paperwork done was easy and quick. When I went to pick up my vehicle a few days later, it was clean, filled and ready to go. All my concerns were answered before I left and I was still able to add a few things last minute. OVERALL great experience!
Brad Jno Baptiste
Although it was some months ago I must say it was great pleasure working with salesman Eleazar Torino. He was very respectful and made sure I was comfortable with everything before moving forward into purchasing my vehicle. Exceptional service and great staff. Also special thanks to sales manager Herman Olaes and finance manager Luis Mangandi who also made sure I was comfortable and satisfied before making my purchase. Overall A+
C-Jay Harris
Went here to see what my options were for purchasing a second vehicle. My salesman was Herman. He immediately helped me out and walked me through my finance options. I love the Jeep I purchased and would recommend Herman to friends and family. The Kendall shop has great customer service and will take care of you.
Michelle Contreras
A huge shoutout to Cheyenne and Shane for getting my family and I into a new, spacious vehicle! Highly recommend them both if you’re looking for something new/different. Everyone there was kind and the process was super smooth. Again, thank you to Cheyenne, Shane, and everyone else that helped us at the dealership.
Fia Manu
Mark & Luis were AMAZING!! I have been looking for a car for my fiancé for the past 6 months and he specifically only wanted an Audi. I finally came across a car online here at Kendall VW. I didn’t expect much but I put in an inquiry online and within minutes I got a call from Mark. From the beginning Mark made sure me and my fiancé were taken care of! He had the car ready for us to test drive when we arrived and worked with our budget. We were then finishing up the paperwork with Luis and he made us feel like family more than just customers! At the end we are really happy we choose to come here at Kendall VW! The whole team was great! We are now leaving with a beautiful new Audi that my fiancé loves!
Eric M
Mark Rescober is the man to talk to if you are looking for a new or used vehicle. He put me in a Subaru that is the nicest car I have ever driven. The whole buying process was very friendly, and you will not be pushed into making any hasty decisions.
Kyle Ziehn
I recently traded in my 5 month old atlas to upgrade since I was unhappy with the one I bought. We worked with Shane Simbre from sales and he really fought hard to get a good value for my trade in. He was very knowledgeable about the vehicles and carefully explained what everything does that way we will be happy with our purchase. Overall experience was great. He would even work with our hours after work. Excellent service. We didn’t really feel any pressure with our purchase. For finance, we would highly recommend Mike Little too. We weren’t rushed into closing the deal and just left us happy with all the assistance and vast knowledge on what they do.
nicolas levielle
i own vw cars for so many years thru so many states,i never get such a good service like Kendall VW in Anchorage Alaska.this is the only pit stop i recommend for your car.
everything is right included the prices for the service.
Michael Kennard
I had looked at vehicles on line and decided I was most interested in one listed at Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage. I went in first thing Friday, July 5, and was greeted by two lovely young ladies at the front counter. They went and got Daniel (I believe he spells it differently) to assist me with the purchase. He was extremely helpful and personable in assisting me through the process. His Sales Manager was also, wonderful (sorry, I don’t recall his name). Once the specifics were agreed on, I was turned over to Luis, to complete the financial aspects of the transaction. Every single person I had the pleasure of interacting with or meeting was wonderful. They all worked to make the process smooth and easy. This is how businesses should be conducted. Thank you, Mike (Old Man Logan)
Leo Nadeau
My name is Rebecca Clark (ignore the gmail account) and I had the most wonderful experience at Kendall VW working with Brendan, Anthony and Luis. I started working back in Sept 2020 with Brendan, trying to determine the perfect car. He was so patient and attentive each time I went into the dealership. We looked at so many different cars but he was able to get me into my beautiful 2021 cross sport with everything I had been looking for. Luis helped me find the best options for financing ensuring my comfort with the payments. Thank you to the whole VW team but especially my sales person, Brendan and his excellent customer service!
Emily Hubbard
I came in wanting to look at the used vehicles they had on the lot. Eleazar asked about my budget and what features I was looking for right away, then found me two used Tiguan's to take on a test drive. He also showed me the last new Tiguan they had on the lot so I could see the differences between the used models. He was low pressure, answered all my questions, and was happy to give me as much time as I needed to make my decision. I ended up purchasing the new Tiguan, and the finance manager, Luis, was able to find me an extremely competitive rate that fit within my budget.
Christian Lacanlale
Luis and Brittany were awesome!! I was timid of coming in with my vehicle for a trade in. Not only did they made it a swift and easy process but they also got me the vehicle I wanted! 1000% would recommend, they work with you to get you what you want!! Couldn’t ask for better service:)
Rachel Pollard
I had a great experience working with Cheyenne in sales and Sales Manager Herman in purchasing our 2019 Atlas. They were able to work around the small issue concerning our trade in , as it wasn't listed in our pre-approval but was told later by our credit union we had to sell it or trade it in to finalize the loan.
chad Helgeson
Just left as very happy customer. The experience of buying a car with such little inventory was challenging, but was overly impressed with how my salesman, Eleazar Torino, worked with me to find what I was looking for, in style, price, and feautures.
I would definitely work with the team again, no pressure and I say to work with.
Erin Dandron
Kendall VW of Anchorage is the place to go when you're looking for a quality sales team. Test driving was easy and a private experience. Jean Paul "JP" was our specialist and took care of us from start to finish, even had some good laughs. He's your guy!!! We needed a more spacious vehicle for our growing family. We purchased the 21 VW Atlas R class, it's hands down the nicest vehicle we have ever had. We also purchased other upgrades on the vehicle and the team was prompt to get us in and provided a loaner vehicle for the time being. We are thankful to have a great warranty package provided by the company for our future auto service needs. We feel very taken care of. Thanks JP!!
Heidi Stephan
Jerry and his service department really went above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of! Jerry really cared and left me feeling like my opinion and needs really mattered! I have had nothing but good experiences with Kendal Volkswagen since the day I started working with my favorite salesman JP and purchased my beautiful Atlas! I highly recommend anyone looking to buy through a dealership with integrity, to shop Kendal Volkswagen! Tell JP I sent ya!
Dan & Connie Tucker
I attempted to schedule a oil change using the 'web scheduler' but it wasn't working. So I sent an email to the 'contact' address - to alert them that their scheduler wasn't working, and; that I wanted an appointment, and; that I would not be bringing the vehicle in personally - a relative who was using it would.This was on a Saturday - the shop was closed.
I got a nice email back on Sunday saying they appreciated the notice, and that they would take care of assuring the schedule (I outlined in the email) would be taken care of.
My relative took the car by at nearly the requested time and the oil change was accomplished. All was okay.
I got the typical 'status report on the vehicle with the service form and it showed a 'parking light' out. I knew one was out and already had attempted to change it but it was way too well protected by too many things in the way for me to reach it. My plan was to get it changed by the service staff when I took the car in for service - whenever that was. But I forgot to mention it both in the email to Kendall and to the relative...shame on me.
I was disappointed that no suggestion was made at the time of service to change it. I kind of hoped that they would have mentioned it and took care of it while it was at the shop. As it is, I went out to the car after it got home and attempted changing it again and...with the 'help' of the relative got the whole process so screwed up that now it's a major hassle.
Thanks to Kendall for the email help, making the appointment 'outside of the scheduler,' and taking care of the service.
Oops to Kendall for not offering to change the obviously faulty light when they did the 'status report.' They missed a chance to make a buck, and I got a chance to really get frustrated with the problem of changing it - and it's not done yet.
Kyle Madrid
Johnathan and Luis went above and beyond to help me, and I left with the exact vehicle I was looking for. To top it all off Luis worked with me extensively to give me the best deal for my trade in and an even better deal on the vehicle I was purchasing I was blown away by the price I got it for along with a great rate (Im a second time buyer with an average/above average credit score purchasing a bigger vehicle and got a rate of 5.7!). Most importantly not one time did I feel uncomfortable or like I was being judged for trying to get better deal they were very helpful and considerate about getting me a price I would be happy with. Would highly recommend going through the Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage if you plan to trade your newer used car for something else!
Jen Newsham
They work to make sure you understand everything. I also called them because my mom's car was there on her birthday for repair. She was having a bad day unrelated to the car. I asked them to take care of her and I am please with their ability to be extra kind in bad circumstances. I think we all need to remember we are humans sometimes.
Samantha Wattson
The best service I have EVER received from a dealership! I had to drive down 6 hours from Fairbanks to get a recall done and felt like I walked into the dealership as a member of their family. Johnny was so great! He was accommodating, kind and efficient in processing my vehicle and getting me back on the road in a timely manner. Darleen, whom was able to get me in a rental for the short time period was also great and proving such personal customer service. Thank y’all so much! You made my day so worthwhile and I left the dealership smiling!
Grace Purcell
I bought my first car with Kendall auto they put me in the best car for me. I’m in the military and these people really watched my back I came here for help to refinance and got approved for a great interest rate. Luis Mangandi is great he will go above and beyond to get you where you need to be
Dorontina Selimoski
My overall experience with Porsche was great. Everyone was very friendly and approached me when I was looking around. Austin the Sales Representative was amazing. He made the whole process from ordering my Porsche all the way to delivery a great and exciting experience. He was very knowledgeable for my vehicle and explained everything to me when my vehicle came In. He is the guy to go to for any Porsche needs.
Sophie Pitts
If you are looking for a new vehicle definitely go see Shane! He was so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process of me buying my first car. Louis was also very nice and helpful throughout the process of getting a loan and different ad ons for the car. Could not recommend them enough!
JB Araneta
Got my Car yesterday. Brittany, Shane and Anthony reached out their hands to me and made my closing easy and seamlessly. Their really friendly and welcoming.
Terry Lynn Baruela
JP and Fermin were outstanding. They made our vehicle purchase their priority to get what we were looking for. JP made sure to show us all of our options. He was really patient and very helpful. Answered any questions we had, offered us a tour of the lot, and by far always made sure that we were comfortable waiting for him to get the other vehicle of our choice with water. We finally chose a vehicle and Fermin was especially helpful. Both Fermin and JP offered us all the options that we had and made our purchase by far, the most easiest. We are definitely HAPPY with our purchase of our family vehicle.
Matthew Lafond
Purchased a new GTI from JP and Anthony. It was a great experience. They did everything they could to cater to what I was looking for. It was my first time departing from a domestic brand and buying German. The dealerships are prestine and very inviting. I got a glimpse of the service bays and was very impressed. Highly rate them if you’re looking for a foreign vehicle!
Definitesky Parker
Samantha Hart is the one to go to! We walked in right before closing and she stayed late to help us, chasing down keys, and finding us cars. I saw her literally running across the lot, helping customers. She returns calls promptly, makes times for you, and she works magic to get the best deal for you. This lot is classy and has a lot of options. Our experience here was fantastic from start to finish, and Sam was the best part of it. She’s called us several times to follow up, making sure everything fell into place afterwards (wiper replacement, 2nd key,...) This location and team is our go-to for all future car needs!
Christine Kim
JP at VW/Audi was super patient with me throughout my long search for the perfect vehicle. I met him almost a year ago and we continuously kept in touch until I was ready to buy a vehicle! He really goes out of his way to make his clients happy. Most of all, he's not pushy like most salesmen out there. Great customer service and happy with my new Atlas Cross Sport!!
Victoria Hutton
I could not be more happy about the experience when I recently purchased an Atlas Cross Sport with Kendall Volkswagen. Shane, Anthony, and Luis were super helpful, patient, and knowledgeable while assisting me in my purchase. I would highly recommend buying a vehicle from them any day.
Andy Rodriguez
If you are looking to purchase a car here, I suggest you ask for “JP”. He is not just a great salesman, but an amazing person. He has helped me with two cars in the past couple of years and has done an exceptional job. He makes sure you are happy and have everything you need even after the car has been sold. Anytime I come in to the shop, he always says hi (by name) and to see how I’m doing.
His motto is “I’m here to provide the best experience, keep my clients happy and loyal”. I can say that he doesn’t disappoint, because I he does delivers. That’s how he got me on the second car, because he knew what I was looking for and wanted. Got a text one morning and said this car just came in (very specific model), do you want to take a look at it. Got the car that afternoon. Loved my 1st car, love my 2nd car even more. JP shout-out to you, thanks man!
Shana Sanders
If you're looking for a vehicle, I would suggest seeing Cheyene Thomas at Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage. I've bought two vehicles now with her help, and I can honestly say buying a car has never been so easy. She listened to my needs and was able to find multiple vehicles to accommodate my requests, and went with me on each test drive to make sure the car was to standard. Her fun and bubbly personality definitely helped to take the weight off the stress of 'car shopping'. She walked me through the entire process with finance which was also very well organized and conducted in a very reasonable time considering (thanks mike)! Also I really appreciate that if I ever had a question or concern Cheyene was always a call or text away. Thanks again Cheyene and I'll be sure to continue doing business with you.
Luke Steele
This is our second purchase from Kendal Audi/VW. The sales staff is always super professional and the customer service is excellent. Steven stayed late to make sure we drove home that day with our new car. Luis was very knowledgable and handled the financing for a streamlined process. Top notch service all around. Can't recommend them highly enough.
Jeff Adams
Had a great experience with Sami Hart. She was very helpful during the whole process answering all of my questions and concerns. We came to a fair deal and she went the extra mile to make sure my SUV will be delivered to me hundreds of miles away. Would def recommend and use her services in the future. Thanks for the amazing and painless service of buying a new vehicle.
Kelsie Morris
We were desperately searching for a new car. We are having issues finding one and Luis mangandi helped us. He was quick, knowledgeable and efficient. Super kid friendly which was a perk with having 4 kids of our own. I would highly recommend going through him. Thank you Louis for all the help and the awesome new mom car.
TJ Garner
Great customer service. Bunmee went above and beyond. Car key was made quickly and they even checked out my air pressure light which had been on for awhile. Thanks B!
Update 2/28/20
Went in for an oil change, Yang and all the guys are always super friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond with customer service. They even gave my car a detail which was a nice surprise! They gave me a quick shuttle home which is always appreciated. The service department at Kendall VW rock!
Update 6/21/21
Went in because my check engine light came on. I booked online. The customer service is always top notch at Kendall Volkswagen, David was very helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciate customer service and this place never lets me down. I’m happy to keep bringing my vehicle to Kendall, they have always been good to me. Thanks David!

I was in your office to purchase a VW Atlas in December 2019 and I had JP as my salesperson (Brittany was also very helpful). He was great in every way! I was glad to not be put under pressure and to just have candid conversations with him about the car and which trim worked best for me and my pocket. I felt like he also made me feel comfortable with the choice I made because he knew a lot about the cars.
I would say that working with the finance guy, Luis, wasn’t a 5 star experience. I understand that he probably has to try to sell extra services to customers but it became quite uncomfortable having to be shown videos on YouTube to try to convince me when I had clearly stated that a service was not of interest to me (if I was interested then the YouTube videos would be appropriate), but in my case it was a waste of my time especially because I’d already been at the dealership for almost 2hrs (on a workday) waiting to finalize the purchase.
I will still give the 5 star overall rating because ultimately, I was content with my experience and I am loving my car a lot so far. Thanks!

Luis Mangandi helped us out and got us an awesome deal on a used vehicle. We came in with different expectations and left with a better deal then expected. We were very pleased with the service. Would recommend stopping by and getting helped out by them.

I had an absolutely wonderful time at this location. This was my first car buying experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to help me! Everyone was sincere and very helpful, and I felt their priority was making sure I was comfortable with my purchase and comfortable with the whole experience. JP was our salesman, and he was awesome! Nick, the manager, is also very kind. Highly recommend this location for your car buying experience.
Cristina esteban
Had a pleasure working with JP! He’s very knowledgeable about the vehicles on hand and attentive to your wants . I appreciate another smooth transaction with the Kendall Imports Team . Exceptional service all around !
Brady Carroll
Special shout-out to Shane Simbre for being a commendable salesman through the whole trade-in/buying experience! Both Shane and his manager, Herman, were committed to giving us a price for the CR-V we purchased that everyone could agree was fair. I would go back to this dealership in a heartbeat.
Maria Henao
Luis has helped me chose my very first car, he was very nice and heard what I was exactly looking for, he has taken his time to show me options as well, to make sure I had choices, he was nice, and patient. He’s great! Definitely go for Luis. Very recommended. I’ve had a great experience.
Hillside Home Improvements
Our salesman, JP was great to work with, even shared with us some of his mom's home cooking while we waited to see the finance department. Enjoying our VW! Thanks
Teri Hansen
The Porsche Store Services are always a wonderful experience and they always make time for my auto needs. They have even allowed me to bring my MB there, as I do like the the service at the MB store. From my first contact to my checking in and out they make sure I am happy with the services.
Mark Wilson
I recently had my Jeep serviced by Kendall and had less than stellar results. However when the service manager was made aware of this he asked me to bring my vehicle back and personally ensured I was taken care of to the best of the shops ability and for that I am thankful. The only reason this is a 4 star is that despite their efforts, they were unable to pinpoint the cause of the noise that made me take it in in the first place. But even in that regard, I'd say we worked out a fair deal in regards to the cost of the diagnostic.
Rachel Scott
We had an amazing experience working with Steve! Steve made the experience so enjoyable and we felt zero pressure to purchase. This was literally the best car shopping experience I have ever had! Steve, Luis and the whole team- including the sales manager (I don’t remember his name) were wonderful!!
Objection!
I had a budget, desired car features in mind, but I kept on leaving it for later whenever I thought of all the hassle of salespeople talk/ sitting for hours at a dealership... little did I know kendall vw could offer me a great car buying experience! They valued my time. The whole process was done very quick. Luis was extremely helpful and made sure we got the car we wanted, within our budget. I’ll definitely buy my next car there!
Cydnie Crown
Worked with JP today, he was very easy going and informative, did not rush us at all and really tried to get us the best deal possible. For financing we worked with Luis who was also very patient and easy going. The whole experience was great, we were definitely not rushed at all and they gave us exactly what we were looking for! Highly recommend JP as a sales associate
Jonathan Wilson
I came in for an oil change and asked last minute if I could get the car detailed. Not having an appointment they did not have a slot open. But there was an employee that said he would do it for me. The supervisor told him he could do that. When I received the car it was clean. I will enjoy working with Kendal and will definitely use them again.
Allan M
Herman Olaes was an absolute pleasure to work with. This guy not only had a passion for his line of work but also worked double-time on a late Sunday helping my family out with a purchase as well as another customer at the same time.
Shoutout to Mike Little, the Sales Finance Manager with the office in the back. While processing our loan, Mike kept us informed as well as entertained about what can be a stressful part of a vehicle sale.
Overall great experience. Protip, don't buy a vehicle when the banks are closed or else it'll take all afternoon.

I had left a few messages and had to call back a few times, I was a little discouraged, but half my job is done on the phone so I have a lot of grace, but in an unfortunate, pressing situation being without a car, every moment counts. So I was a little disappointed at first. But once I called back a 4th time, I got in touch with the department I needed to right away and was assisted by Reesha and I could not have asked for a better experience! And had great peace of mind. I just want all customer service representatives to know how impactful and helpful they are even if they don’t know the whole story or circumstance, and Reesha helped make progress for my poor VW and get me some peace of mind that the problem was in fact moving forward to be solved.
My second time coming to Kendall and the service just gets better and better. Matthew Carberry is exceptional at his job and very knowledgeable. Everyone who I have worked with there has been nothing but pleasant. Thank you greatly!
Josie Gustafson
Easy, fast and efficient is how I like to buy a car- and Kendel Volkswagen delivered. My sales team , Eleazar Torino and Brittany McCormick made this sales so easy! I can’t say enough about this group!
Michael Mommsen
Loving my new 2020 Jetta. Friendly helpful staff, was able to negotiate financing options to best suit my budget
Jerry Kung
Kyle is the most customer centric Service Rep that I've encountered. His professionalism and great customer service is second to none. Kendall is lucky to have him on the team.
T. Todd
Great experience, from beginning to end! My husband and I purchased a 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan about a month ago. Steve was a wonderful salesman and very helpful. Every time that I have been in the dealership since we purchased the vehicle, if Steve is there and sees me come in he always speaks and says hi. One thing that I really appreciated was that when we sat down to talk numbers Steve asked , is it okay if we run your credit? Obviously , if we sit down to talk numbers I know they will run our credit but it was just nice that someone actually had the decency to ask first . That was the first time I had ever had someone ask . We purchased a few extra features of added protection which required for me to leave my car at the dealership and have a rental for a day. The only issue I had was that initially they did not want to give me a rental because I was not 25. It felt like I went around and around over a rental car but after learning of this issue , I spoke with Rommel Holmes and he made sure that I was happy and well taken care of. Thanks as well to Jayson who took care of our car and added all of the extra protection features for us . We are very happy with our overall experience and our vehicle ! Thanks !!!

The dealership is pristine and well-appointed, and the staff is friendly and helpful. They engage in customer service, not high-pressure sales tactics. I went in to check out a like-new Mitsubishi (not even a VW), and sales associate Brittany Mccormack was able to quickly set up a test drive. I was so pleased with the experience that I bought the car that night. Brittany was a true consultant, not a "sales person," and doubled as both sales consultant and concierge, making sure the car-buying experience was quick and enjoyable. If you want to be treated with respect as a customer, go see Brittany and the team at Kendall VW. I highly recommend them if you're in the market for a new car.
Monica Sullivan
Great customer service! Eleazar is the best! Super helpful and fun!
Matthias Braedel
Had a great experience purchasing a car with JP Baquiran. Very nice sales person with no pressure sales techniques. the whole team was very helpful. We had our 17 month old and they were very understanding to him being a toddler and running around.
We love our new Atlas!
Colby
Cheyene, Sofi, Luis: good team, good people, willing. I could go on. After a rather typical experience at another ANC dealership, this team of professionals restored my faith in purchasing a new vehicle in AK.
This was a conversation, not a sales pitch. At no time did we feel pressured. The team spoke to both my wife and I equally about our vehicle of choice, a quality you don’t normally find when visiting dealerships. Overall, we felt as if our finances and best interests were kept in mind.
The dealership itself was clean, bright, and welcoming. Upkeep and cleanliness is a large part of feeling comfortable when making large purchases.
Thank you team.
Kevin Applegate
So I had been shopping for a new truck for some time. I was lucky enough to find the truck I was wanting at Kendall Volkswagen of all places. I worked with Herman and couldn’t be happier with the encounter. He had the truck ready and warmed up and had a great repore. The paperwork process was quick and painless with no bs. Herman got me the payments I was wanting and made sure everything was good. Best car buying experience I’ve had from a dealership, highly recommend!
Toni Shourds
The staff at Kendall have been wonderful. I bought a Saturn Vue and when the business was closed, I was told that Alaska Sales and Service was the company that were to be doing the repair work on my car. I truly DO NOT LIKE Alaska Sales, their staff and Service department.
It was by chance that Kendall was next door to Saturn and were there to help me when it was time to do the standard maintenance on my car, I have been with Kendall since then and have recommended them to all my friends.
Thank you for being one of the last remaining HONEST and RELIABLE businesses in this town.
Jeff & Tammy Head
My experience with my salesman JP was excellent. He was and continues to be very responsive. My experience with the finance person Luise was not as good. After the initial document signing we we asked by him to come in again to sign another set of documents because he had made an error on the date. Additionally we purchased paint coating at the original signing on Thursday December 12th and Luise said that the car would be available for pick-up on Sunday. When we signed the second set of documents the next day he denied telling my wife and I that it would be available Sunday. Ultimately JP was the one tasked with telling us that our vehicle would be available on Wednesday.
J L Scott
Cheyene Thomas was amazing. I called to inquire about the vehicle. She invited me to stop in and take a test drive. Arriving 30 minutes later, she had the vehicle parked out front and ready to go. Process from start to finish was very efficient and professional. Was such a relief to know that there was no pressure. Cheyene was very relaxed and easy going, not what I expected when buying a used vehicle at a huge dealership. Friendly service. Excellent follow up. Cheyene contacted me 3 days after I bought it.... and then again 3 months later -- just to be certain I was still satisfied with the vehicle. Amazing service and professionalism. Highly recommend to my friends and family!
Cheleice Erdek
We bought our beautiful VW Atlas from Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage. We were greeted right as we walked in the door by Brittany who set us up, for the ride that would seal the deal. My husband and I needed space for our family of five. We needed to make room for our three month old twin boys. Herman Olaes suggested we take the entire family for the test drive. So as we loaded up the car seats. He graciously helped us secure our children. After having had a recent snowfall, the conditions of the roads were icy. This was another reason we were looking for an AWD to handle the icy roads. Which it did, breaking, taking off and turning, you can do all this with confidence. The VW Atlas is such a smooth ride, it definitely feels like a luxury to be behind the wheel of my new car. The customer service at Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage was top notch everyone there greeted us with friendly smiles.

Good experience on buying a used car in good condition. The only reason they are getting 4 stars and not 5 is because they gave me the runaround about providing the second key fob to the car I purchased. I asked about getting a hold of the second key at least 4 times throughout our day together. They still have not provided one and looks they are not going to. Other than that, with any big purchase do your homework and come prepared. It was business as usual. Everyone was friendly and professional eventhough I didn't buy a brand new import car. I even get the Kendall treatment with year long maintenance and oil changes and cafe lates for life.
Keith Austin
I'm going to add an actual review to my 5 star rating. I've been an Audi owner for 2yrs now. (owned 2 VW's and even an older Porsche 924 in the past, but not any previous interactions with the dealership). I can say to this point, I have been very happy with the service I've received. Everyone has been great to deal with and made owning my Audi(s) very satisfying and enjoyable. Thank You! and the new location is amazing. :D
KATHLEEN HESTER
I want to thank Eleazar Torino for making our experience easy and seamless. We appreciate all your time with us. We love our new VW Tiguan!
Jessica Zavaleta
My 2016 Audi A3 needed an oil change fast. My husband took it in for service after Christmas 🎄 and Mike Nichols took care of us the same day. Hubby said he had a cup of coffee ☕️ from the awesome coffee machine. He was placed into a courtesy rental. He loved the A6 rental and said it was like a spaceship 🚀 in there. Mr. Nichols executed everything with elegance and a genuine warm smile. Courtesy rental was attained with ease and walk around was performed for safety reasons. Also, my car was washed and I received a FREE car wash coupon to the drive through cash wash located at Toyota parking lot. Whoa!! Thank you soOO much Mike and all Kendall team for making car maintenance visits FUN!!!!
Yogling San
We had a great deal from the car we got! Every passenger loved it with all the features included at a reasonable price. The experience with Cheyenne is awesome! Very friendly, warm, and un-rushed. Thank you!
William Floyd
It is easy to be good when all goes well. It is when something does not go as planned that true customer service comes to light. Unfortunately, there were some issues that came up. The service writer (Alex) very much took the lead and with the service department, parts department and management they turned this potentially bad experience into a very good experience. I am 100+% satisfied and will recommend Kendall to anyone who will listen. Because of this I have also made an appointment with Kendall Ford for my F-150 King Ranch and shop for a new pick up while I am there.
ConnieDan R
Best customer service I’ve ever had. These guys really went above and beyond to help me get a vehicle.
Couldn’t ask for a better Salesman. Eleazar took the time to show me every vehicle I’m interested in, suggested vehicles that would be a better fit for my lifestyle as answered all the questions I had. I’d also like to give a shout-out to the sales manager Herman Olaes and finance director Luis Mangandi for getting me approved, giving me the best deals as well as amazing discounts. Couldn’t ask for a better team. I highly recommend going to them for your next vehicle.
Rachelle Lang
Luis is absolutely amazing. He made the car buying process super easy and fun. Best dealership I’ve ever been to. Steven is also great and did a wonderful job showing me the most perfect car!
Dana Cupp
I recently purchased a 2017 Porsche Macan at a great price as well as getting more than expected on my trade-in. My salesman, Santiago, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I got my winter tires put on that same week. Highly recommend!
Cat McGlashan
Austin Betts, Was the best salesman We have ever had!!!! This was an incredible experience purchasing this vehicle!
Austin walked us through the entire vehicle pointing out all the amazing functions of our new Tiguan!!! No pressure no hassle!!! Thank you Austin for being a great salesman!!!
Thank you for putting my rims on as well!!!
We definitely recommend if you are wanting to purchase a vehicle from Kendall Volkswagen that you seek out Austin he is highly educated in the vehicles and takes his time walking you through from front to back from bumWe definitely recommend if you are wanting to purchase a vehicle from Kendall Volkswagen that you seek out Austin he is highly educated in VW’s and takes his time walking you through from bumper to bumper, never making you feel rushed!!!! Thanks again Austin!
Luis Salazar helped us through the Loan process it was super easy as well very informative o il n warranty’s and going with the right Financial lender thank you guys you are an awesome team!
GreysonsMuvaaa
Getting my car from Kendall was such an easy experience especially working with Cheyene Thomas. Although it took a few days to get everything together she made everything feel quick, easy and comfortable. She made sure the car was in close to perfect condition before I left the lot, which says a lot since I purchased a used vehicle. Thank you Cheyene and thank you Kendall Volkswagen!!
Tiare Kaufman
I received a warranty recall from Corporate VW on the steering column/ignition, I found my key to be sticking at times. I called to schedule this service work. Every aspect of this service was VERY SMOOTH, on-time and I enjoyed the rental car. The work was completed quickly. Thank you Mike and service staff for making this stress-free!!
Daniel Holbrook
Not my first time buying brand new, it was a good experience. Eleazar did a good job working with me over the phone since I live 6 hours away.
Christian Oathout
I have to say after it was all said and done I had a great experience here. Thanks to Cheyene who helped me find the car I needed and wanted and thanks to Luis who help deal with the banks! I will say the bank ordeal was a mess but it was sorted out timely and professionally which I appreciate! Also got a great deal after it was all said and done! Would recommend if you are in the market for a new ride!
Harold Cool
I had a very good experience at Kendall VW. My car was in for routine service and they made sure everything was checked and completed the work 30 minutes ahead of schedule. My service adviser Jamie was very courteous and will ask for every time I return.Thanks for making my experience refreshing.
Shykeria Anderson
I went to get my VW serviced. I was late for my appointment but they still took the time to take care of me which was appreciated. They were all extremely friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back.
Traci Baumgardner
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Boo was the person who received me and my car. He was very courteous, answered all my questions and made me feel welcome. He also informed me of the shuttle service they provide so we wouldn't have to wait there if we didn't want to while my car was being serviced. Everyone we had contact with was professional with a smile. We had a very good experience.
Dani
Recently bought a 2014 Jetta and brought it in to have it looked over and get and oil change and alignment...They were awesome...not only did they provide a complimentary shuttle but because they didnt defined anything wrong they didnt charge me with the diagnostics and they fixed the one recall and did the oil change and because they couldn't fit the alignment in the same day they gave me an appointment with a discount! On top of everything I got complimentary car washes... beyond happy and greatful!
derek murphy
We had a check engine light come on and brought it in. We dropped it off the next day and used one of their loaners for the day. After some confusion with availability of parts, they had to keep the car for two days. they let us use the loaner free of charge. Excellent customer service that I've to expect from every Kendall dealership. We'll be back for sure.
Bobo Swanson
I went to Kendall Toyota on Old Seward thinking we were going to purchase a vehicle I was ready to buy, it sold just before we got there. We were using a taxi to get around, we found another vehicle at a different branch and they offered to give us a ride to there and where ever needed. I was very happy with their service. They did their best to make sure we were taken care of.
Alex Chythlook
Probably the best car buying experience I've ever had. The car I got was used but I felt like I was buying a new one anyway! Luis and Austin were fantastic to work with especially, but the entire staff there is great.
Brianna cannon
When entering this facility it look so clean and nice.
The staff was welcoming and very friendly.
I had the opportunity to work with Ms. Cheyene
Thomas, she was patient, friendly and worked with me every step of the way before I left out of state. She talked with me and got to know me and my situation to help me find the perfect vehicle. She is a go-getter and I love seeing women dominate.
J J
It always gives me a bit of hope when a company actually goes above and beyond the call of duty and provides excellent customer support.
Everyone who works at Kendall VW, from the sales personnel to service department personnel, delivers outstanding service.
They are courteous and honest people and keep my car in top-notch driving condition.
Carrie Ann Livingston
Awesome customer service at the Kendall VW dealership in Anchorage today - 5-12-2018. Came in to test drive the 2018 VW Atlas. Love the dealership inside and out. Brand new, very clean, great setup and friendly sales people. We were greeted by a friendly salesman, Steve and then further helped out by another salesman, Ross. I appreciate the wealth of knowledge and professionalism that Ross gave us. He answered all of our questions and negotiated our requests promptly. We highly recommend this sales team and appreciate their timeliness today. The lounge area was comfy and we watched the Stanley Cup playoffs while we waited (briefly) for our contract to get finalized. No hassle, no haggling and very pleasant. I’ll be buying another car with them in the future, for sure!
Kaitlyn Traini
I bought my first car by myself here from Steven. This dealership is clean and nice. I had such a good experience compared to other dealerships. I went to a different dealership before I stopped there. I had an absolute nightmare of an experience at. I had no credit and they still worked really hard to get the financing.
Maddy Knoll
Mark Uy was so wonderful to work with! He made the whole purchase process seamless!
Elias Wheeler
I purchased a 2016 F150 from Kendall’s used lot almost 3 weeks ago. My sales guy did a good job and took good care of us so I don’t fault him for any of this. On our way home we noticed the floor was a little wet. It started to rain and we noticed it getting worse. When we got back home, we pulled the floor mats and found water was leaking badly from under the dash into the cab. The floor under the mats was completely soaked along with the wiring under the dash. It was so wet you could hear it slosh under the carpets the more it rained. I don’t fault my sales guy for this, but it looks like whoever inspected it in the shop just threw dry mats over the soaked moldy carpet.
I took it to Kendall ford (not where I bought it) down in Kenai and Kendall offered to pay for the repairs. Apparently there was a leak so big in the windshield seal you could see a flashlight through it and it had soaked and molded the carpet. The mold was clearly visible under the floor mats.
I am 3 weeks away from my first payment and my truck has been sitting in the shop for 2 weeks now and still has yet to be finished being fixed. This whole process has taken almost 3 weeks from the date of purchase now and I still havnt really been able to drive my truck besides driving it home. This is definitely my worst experience buying a vehicle to date. Hopefully others won’t have to go through anything similar.
****UPDATE****
Kendall took care of the repairs for the truck and I have it back now. To their credit they did a very good job on the repairs, cleaned everything up, and did it all on their own dime. Both stores worked together well to fix the mistake which is the best you can ask for when this kind of thing happens.
Ned Spaic
Purchased a VW Alltrack from Nick, our incredibly pleasant salesman, who took good care of us. Management was responsive when we brought the car back after feeling a shudder on rapid deceleration. They fixed the problem and attended to our other requests for which we'd planned to pay, all at no charge. Happy we choose the Alltrack and had a great experience all around. We miss Morrison, but the new facility Kendall put up is truly something to see, from the bathrooms to the shop! Get a tour like we did, and check out a Porsche even if that's not exactly the car you came shopping for this time...
Deb Plummer
I have had my Volkswagen Passat TDI into for warranty work and non warranty work to Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage. I bought my VW brand new in April 2014. I have had nothing but excellent service at Kendall. First my maintenance manager was Boo and now there is a guy named Yang. They have both provided the best customer service and mechanical know how. Excellent
Mary M Rydesky
The women Tia & Jeanna in the Service Department are top notch, demonstrating exemplary focus on the customer. I felt they had my customer experience at heart. The upshot is that I would go back again and would expect to be greeted as a friend. Thank you for great work - oh, and the work on the car is great. I really appreciate the new (to me) report on what the technicians assessed: this gives me a plan for budgeting and scheduling the next service visit.
Elizabeth Young
They were able to get me in same day for an oil change, which was really great because I live out of town (3 hours away) and just happened to have extra time. The service was great. Everything went flawless with the oil change. The last auto shop I got an oil change they didn't know how to work with a VW and I would often have leaks afterward. I'm happy to say I made the 3 hour drive home right after and my car ran much more smoothly. Also, I had my 8 mo old son with me and they were very courteous and allowed me to use the child's playroom while we waited. When I did need to change his diaper I noticed the bathroom was like the size of an airplane bathroom, but thankfully they had a changing table. All in all I had a pleasant experience.
Katie Peck
Experience was great except for them swindling me out of more money than I needed to pay. They called me to say they found a problem, but then upon further inspection there wasn't a problem, and they still charged me for it. Other than that, they had a prompt shuttle, lovely waiting area, friendly people, and I trust the work that was done was done well. I will take my vehicle there again, but probably won't agree to any extra work being done.
Walter Nelvis
Jean Paul Baquiran(salesman), Fermin Vargas(sales manager) and the rest of the Kendall staff are top notch. These went above and beyond and cannot be compared to what they have done for me. Definitely the ones to see, they won't let you down and will get you I to a pretty awesome ride without ending with any regrets.

I was in the market to buy a new vehicle and had been to all of the dealerships in Anchorage. I stopped by Kendall Volkswagen second to last, just to see if there was any SUV's in the price range I was looking at (30k-40k). I saw the Volkswagen Tiguan. The previous car I had was the Subaru Forester XT and loved it, but it was no longer in production and I had to get something new. First of all I want to say that the new location (6115 Old Seward Hwy) was by FAR the best laid out dealership in Anchorage and also was the cleanest in town. The new building is awesome. I had a great experience working with their sales team! My salesman was Marko and he was super knowledgeable about Volkswagens. I test drove the 2018 Tiguan and was hooked. It had all the amenities that I wanted and they had various models. Marko was great to work with and the dealership wasn't pressing me to JUST MAKE A SALE. It came down to great professionalism! It should always be about what fits best for the consumer and not just making people feel pressured into buying something. I worked with one of the sales managers on the Volkswagen side named Firmen and he was super easy to deal with. The whole transaction came through super fast. I have bought several vehicles and to be out the door in three hours from just walking in was a great sign of relief! I work in Law Enforcement and they had additional rebates for the vehicle, just for Military and First responders. The sale department was great at answering any of the questions I had. I'm super happy with my new purchase and I would recommend Volkswagen to all of my friends. Great value for a sweet ride!
Marnie Hartill
While it can be tough to get an appointment over the phone, the parts counter is quick to help with estimates and working out the options. I was able to get my snow tires ordered and on within a week! I was happy that they called me back and found a way to squeeze me in a week earlier than anticipated. Doors open pretty late for me (7:30AM) but the key drop off was convenient. In the last two times I have brought my car into the shop, I receive a coupon for a free car wash. I wish my car was just washed or rinsed off when I brought it in. No one wants a coupon, we want it washed! Nonetheless, I was really pleased with the rate being $300 lower than originally quoted. Thank you Kendall VW!
Jim Sharp
I called in the morning to schedule service and they set me up for 1:00pm the same day. I came in for an oil change only but when I checked in they could do a VW paid for brake fluid flush and completely go over the car. The expectation was an hour and a half. Fifty minutes later it was done Nice work Kendall. You made this visit pleasant, easy and fast.
Mary Hogan
Excellent service. I had a flat tire and the Parts Department located the brand and size I needed right away. I went in to pick it up and the Service Department fit me in and an hour later I was on my way. Everything was put away and clean in the car. Counter people at both Parts and Service were courteous and helpful. Thanks Kendall VW.
Lisa Mackey
I was EXTREMELY HAPPY with the kind, professional and intelligent service I received from Yang. His personality is perfect for customer service. Yang provided in depth information so I could make a smart decision. He’s quite knowledgeable too. Great asset the the Kendall Team! Give him a RAISE!
Bryan Heinz
Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage was the simplest, easiest and nicest dealership we have dealt with in buying our 4 different cars. This was our first Volkswagen and we chose the Atlas. The sales personnel Cheyenne and Felix were so friendly and easy to talk with. Firsthand experience with owning and driving Volkswagens. No real haggling on price too! They were willing to work with us on what we wanted and needed!

Luis (Louie) Pedraza treated me with respect/understanding throughout the whole process. Would ask for him if your in the market for a new car!!!!
Richard leslie Grant
Mr Yang was very specific in describing the work performed on my 2010 Jetta. He was courteous and patient as he listened to my questions and concerns. If everyone of your employees is as efficient and conscientious as Mr Yang your organization should be rated excellent as a dealership that cares about their customers and service.
Sharon Ruge
We go back to Kendall for all our repairs and check-ups because of the friendly and fair service we get there. I usually get Bunmee Yang and he is truly the best at making me feel comfortable about my repairs and questions. I find the waiting area to be comfortable and the refreshments are nice. If I need a ride someplace there is that too. It helps that I have never been made to feel like my calls to ask questions or my dropping by to have things checked are dumb or an inconvenience. I actually feel confident that if I need their help I will get it without feeling like I am a nuisance. The FREE car wash is a PLUS!
travone gray
I am beyond satisfied with the wonderful service that I received at the Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage. The staff are beyond graceful, professional, and not to mention very caring not only for me but based on observation to all those that visit the dealership. I would 100% recommend all Volkswagen owners to bring your cars to the Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage you will be satisfied. Thanks again !!
Tiana Bibbs
I had an excellent experience at Kendall all thanks to Cheyene, she was very patient and courteous with me, co considering it was my first time purchasing a vehicle. I had a very comfortable time being In her hands as she help me find the perfect car for me. 🤗 …
London O'Brien
We were treated with respect, first class all the way. Eleazar was honest, upfront and fair. This is not our first time buying here and it won't be the last!

Very great experience. We came in from Valdez and were stretched for time. The staff got us in quickly and finished the work before closing. They even gave us a ride over to the Air Force base while the work was getting done. Each time we have dropped off our Jetta we have had a similar experience. Thank you for the help and courtesy! Oh and the work came out great on the car each time as well.
tameka hill
I had an awesome sales person. He made sure I got the best price in the end! He was as excited about the vehicle as much as I was. I told him what I could afford & not once did he pressure me to move forward "just for a sale" until I was comfortable with the numbers. I would definitely hand select him for any of my future VW, Audi purchases. Steve Lamm rocks as a person & great saleman. His fruit (character) showed how honest he is. Thank God for a real person who not out for your money but for you personally!
Stacey Saunders
I had to have a flat studded tire replaced. It was special ordered and studded to go with the other 3. But customer service first verified that the original could not be repaired. I appreciated that. It was mounted and balanced quickly while I waited. I was kept updated on the progress. Very professional and friendly service.
Amy Jones
Brittany was an excellent resource when it came to buying my new vehicle. She kept in touch and made the whole process of buying a car an enjoyable experience...Highly recommend her if you are looking for a vehicle.
Jenise Mills
The best buying experience I’ve had since I’ve lived in Alaska. We left satisfied but were called back the next day with a better financing option. They could have easily left us with what we walked away with but they went above and beyond to make sure we got the best deal we could. Thank you Mr. Mangandi and the team!
Keri Hubbard
Thank you Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage for the excellent customer service! Service manager Bunmee Yang (Bu), the shuttle drivers and the whole service department went above and beyond when I showed up at the dealership with a loud squeal in my 2009 Tiguan. They provided shuttle service to get me home and then back to work. Bu called me and also sent an email to let me know what the diagnosis was and how much repairs would cost. My car was repaired by the time I got off work! Also, kudos for the online communication option - I was able to schedule an appointment, see the estimate and approve repairs online. I was previously a loyal customer of the former Volkswagen dealer - and was apprehensive about new ownership, but Kendall you have earned my appreciation and thanks!
Buck Sterling
Due to subzero weather my car battery died in my work parking lot. At the end of the day I got a jump and drove directly to Kendall VW to get a new one - with colder weather coming I couldn't afford to keep an unreliable battery. I arrived at 5:00 and was out no later than 5:45. The service was impeccable and they even gave me a discount on the battery.
I should add that I am one of the owners of a VW diesel that was cheated by VW. To say that I was disgusted and disgruntled by the fraud would be an understatement. I have accepted a fairly generous buyback offer and can now decide what my next car is going to be. My treatment by Kandall VW puts Volkswagen back in contention. I DO appreciate their service.
Natasha DiTomaso
Had a date day with the husband and popped into Kendall VW in Anchorage. We had the most amazing experience either of us have had at a dealership - between Sammy our salesgirl to Luis Mangandi who worked amazingly hard to get us not only the best rate but warranties for the life of our loan and super peace of mind - I’m walking away in a brand new Jetta and I’ve never been more excited!!
Tammy Fairbanks
Ray Campos the best salesman ever!!! Thanks Ray and Kendall
Autumn Cantor
I bought a wonderful car back in May 2015 and David helped my husband and me out with the process along with Mark and they were awesome. I unfortunately totaled the car and went back to them for my second vehicle and once again they made my husband and me feel right at home. Great vehicles and great customer service!
Anthony Berg
Walked in and helped right away. Sami and Steve worked away with my requirements and found me a good fit. Happy with the Jetta and was seamless throughout the process. Got the car and tires and walked out the same day I signed for it. Will be back when I want a third vehicle.
Kaitlin McCanless
Always exceptional service. Nick, one of the technicians, was highly recommended to me as I have a lot of aftermarket things done to my MK6 GTI. Nick went above and beyond what was asked, and sent my car back looking and running better than when I brought it in. Bu also was extremely helpful and kind - like I said, the service was truly exceptional.
I've taken my car to some other import shops around town and have always left frustrated, thought they were over quoting me, or not wanting to work with my vehicle.
VW has always been able to help me with reasonable costs and timely return of my vehicle.
Thank you!
M. Fenster
The experience went well. Certainly much better than with the staff of the previous owner.
4/5 for me since they were disorganized. I had dropped off wheels to be fitted with new tires. I really expected a call when the task was complete. Instead, 10 days later I called them to ask. They told me the work was complete and to pick them up any time.
Paige Lubke
I had a service representative name Cody help me with my VW Jetta. He was able to give me a cost estimate on the phone for the problems that my car needed fixed and he was very personable as he explained everything to me in order to understand what I was being charged for.
I had scheduled a diagnostic appointment at 7:45 am and my car was examined and fixed (the heating system, brake pads and a replacement running light) all before noon!
In the mean time, I took full advantage of the shuttle service to get to school and back. The shuttle driver who I rode with was Tony and he was a very cautious and safe driver. (Much appreciated by me!)
I had tried to avoid taking my Jetta to the dealership because costs are usually higher at a dealership than a local body shop. Though, I really wanted people to work on my vehicle who were totally qualified to do so and I can say I was satisfied with their performance and at the end of the day, and I was glad that I paid the extra money to take it to them!
Thank you Kendal VW of Anchorage!
Caitlynn Patterson
Sami and Luis helped me! It's was the really nice, going through my first time car buying process was really scary. Everyone was super nice and Sami made sure I was kept i the loop constantly!
martin shockey
Epic thanks and sincere praise to Austin, Cheyenne and Luiz for providing me "above and beyond" customer service before, during and after my VW Jetta purchase. I've never felt so welcomed, understood and taken care of throughout the whole process on such a professional level, within a dealership before. You're the very definition of genuine customer service, keep up the stellar work!
Frank Monfrey
First time to buy a vehicle somewhere other than GM. Was the most casual and friendly environment ever. The staff was very accommodating.We were introduced to service and they made us feel very comfortable about our purchase.We had the kindest most energetic
and honest sales person ever in Mariah.She took the time to visit with my wife and my daughter which was very kind.So that the whole family was involved in our decision ! We decided on the purchase of a VW Tiguan which was the best fit for all of us here in the near future.And the SUV is
really fun to drive and very affordable.We are all very happy and want to say Thank You to Mariah-Tony-Mark and the entire staff we met while there! Great experience !!!
Brenton Garrett
Fantastic service today. Ericka, Spencer, Alanis, and the store manager all worked to get me taken care of and the wobble in my tires worked out. They continue to impress me with their service. Keep up the great work!
Ken Rosentrater
We took my wife's car in to replace the broken antenna base on the roof, which was scraped off by a not-quite-open garage door. They did it in good time and on the day I chose for scheduling.
It's good. I only wish they could have fully bumped out the dimple that's left in the roof. It's smaller than it was, but still noticeable.
Overall, the people are great.
Cade Harvill
Yang and his staff are very professional and got my tires installed in a timely manner! Yang also provided a shuttle for me to my residence so that was great too. I highly recommended this service department!
Laura in Alaska
I wanted to have my auto to be looked over for basic upkeep, including readjusting my windshield washer spray so I wouldn't wash the top of my car. Filters were changed and a coupon to get the car washed was provided. Nice folks at the counter and Bunmee Yang is professional and efficient. Glad the dealership has moved through it's growing pains from the Morrison purchase and appears to be running well now.
Toni Shourds
Although I own a Saturn Vue, Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage has been servicing my car since Saturn went out of business and has been fantastic with everything they have done. They are very fast, efficient, courteous, knowledgeable and go beyond the normal lube oil and filter each time I come in. I will not go anywhere else for service. Thank you !!
Wayne Skaggs
Garrett Luchaco was our salesman and Fermin Vargas was our sales manager. They both represent the the highest level of customer service and went above and beyond! The team at Kendall VW were very professional and made the whole process easy. They work hard to ensure customer satisfaction and would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking to buy a vehicle.
Etisone Mulu
Marc sold me a dope A4, (it’ll be my forever car) Luis helped out with the great packages to compliment my car. 10/10! will shop with them again on a future car here at Kendall.
Erika Bates
Buying a car from here was such a breeze!!! I went in unsure of what I wanted, and brittany mccormack made everything so easy! she was quick to help and made sure i understood everything financially and what I could afford, as I am still fairly young! you hear about car buying as a hassle and hard to do , not here! with a strong and caring sales person like brittany you will love the whole experience from start to finish!!! thank you so much for putting me in my new car with all the amenities I have ever wanted!
Leelie Fagafaga
It takes that one person (SALESMAN:ELEAZAR TORINO) to believe that you’re capable of getting something; that you yourself, doubted that you cant get. The team they have there are AWESOME!!! From the salesmen, the sales manager (HERMEN OLAES), and of course, the financial director (LUIS MANGANDI) … they’ll make sure you leave HAPPY and BLESSED. We are beyond grateful and more than satisfied with the service they provided. #AMAZING CREW!!! #BLESSED💜💙💜
Fazli Sejdi
Alanis Berger service advisor she was very friendly and professional, customer service throughout the roof well done Alanis.
It has been 5 month since I had done oil change.Went back to do an oil change without having appointment they took me in without any questions, after the oil change the service advisor Alanis suggested that I need alignment on my car so as there was no time to do it the same day made the appointment for next morning at 9:30. I missed my appointment at 9AM went there at 11:30 no hassle at all took my car they started working on it in no time it was done thanks to Alanis Berger.
Dan Fenn
Took my VW Jetta Sportwagon in for routine maintenance. My first time at Kendall and I was very impressed. Service advisor got things going in a quick and efficient manner and I was out of there in no time. Everyone I met was polite and courteous. I'd definitely come back here. Great service department.
Lyle Joshen
I went to Kendall to get a used car but JP and Fermin showed me how getting a new car is a better investment. They found me a great deal and was very helpful throughout the process. Thanks Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage!
Dan Sadler
Cannot say enough about the purchase experience of our new Golf R. Staff top to bottom were very helpful, courteous and knowledgable. This is our 2nd new car purchase from Kendall in Anchorage and I would be reluctant to even try a different dealership. This day in age, it is unique to find such comfort and pleasure in making such a large purchase. Oh, the Golf R, Love it!
Carlos Ferguson
I wish I could give Kendall VW a 5 star rating but my first experience here was very disappointing: for a warranty repair, I drove in 700 miles, taking 3 days off from work, only to be told that the parts required for the repair were on back order, after having been told that the parts would be available during my wait in Anchorage. I was going to have to do the trip again at a later date.
However, when the parts did arrive, I was contacted by Matt, the Parts Mgr, who had discussed my experience with Jeremy, the General Mgr, who okayed a satisfying restitution. Then the Service department took over with Johnny and the Service Mgr dedicating one of their best technicians for the day I was scheduled to return. That day, the repair was completed and I happily drove the 700 miles back home in my great-to-drive, well-running, well-serviced TDI Sportwagen. I will return to Kendall VW for service, would purchase a vehicle from them in the future, and would encourage others to do so.
Scott Stouff
I sincerely appreciate the personal service that Darlene Snow provides! You can tell she really enjoys her position and looks out for her customers. The Technician that I spoke with Sean was very helpful regarding a concern that I had. Won't even consider taking my car anywhere else for service!!
Usman
Shoutout to the Kendall Volkswagen... very HUGE thank you to our salesman Eleazar Torino for making it a very seamless and simplistic process through the whole transaction definitely by far the BEST sales experience hands down, if you're in the market for a vehicle go see Eleazar at Kendall Imports and he will make sure and get you the best solution for your car buying needs, also special thanks to Herman Olaes the sales Mgr and Luis Mangandi the Finance Director for ensuring the proccess was done and completed at ease... GO KENDALL IMPORTS!
David Glover
We were happy from the moment we walked in. Our service trip, Bunmee Yang, made us feel welcomed and comfortable. There was no problem with the lamer car, which VW had assured us. The modifications were made and the car was ready to be picked up earlier than expected.
We had no negative experience at all. Thank you, Kendall VW and Bunmee, and the lady who gave us the loaner!
Mike M
Great experience with the Service Department at Kendall Volkswagen. They could have charged for unnecessary maintenance, but instead told me that what I requested wasn't necessary. What I thought was going to be a $425 charge ended up being an $89 bill. Thank you for being honest.
Abigail Brewer
Shane was extremely helpful and one of the only salesmen to take us seriously. Everyone who worked with us did everything in their power to help us in our situation!
Yesenia Muñoz
My rep, Herman O. was super friendly and helpful. He listened to my wants/needs and found me the perfect SUV! He is easy to talk to but also professional. THREE THUMBS UP 👍 👍👍!
Big shout out to Luis, the man behind curtains working his magic with the banks!! Woot-woot!
Mike Jones
Sami Hart was great to work with and flexible due to ever changing timeframe. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. I got the car I wanted in and a price I was willing to pay.
Paul Krop
I worked with Cheyene and Luis on getting my new VW mainly over the internet. When I arrived at the dealership they had everything ready and no hidden surprises. They were great to work with. I would recommend them to everyone.
Ben Stephan
After a lengthy ordeal with a bargain basement Oil change shop... dun duh dada! Kendall VW to the rescue! Jerry the service manager and his years of experience pays off again. We’ve sworn off all bargain basement oil changes or Quik-E-Lubes for life! We had our oil pan destroyed by a careless inexperienced or overly eager automotive Technician with a impact wrench. Long story short all is right in the world again. Kendall VW Porsche went above and beyond
Angela Worthy
Sami helped me buy my new 2019 Volkswagen Atlas & it was a great experience! She answered all my questions, kept me informed & finance got us a great rate, all without being “sales-y”
Aaron Brown
Kendall has great costumer service. They offer a shuttle while your car is being worked on. I still had a warning on my dash after leaving, but my car had many issues when I brought it in.
Sherrill Tilbury
The service reps checking in my vehicle for LOF service were considerate. They completely checked & evaluated the 2001 Bug for issues. They asked service techs to try to fix the right front wheel well with the old part, but it was too damaged. They then stressed importance & dangers of not getting this repaired as soon as possible. To that end I feel that they gave me a very reasonable quote estimate.
B Maverick
Thank you BRITTANY, MIKE(Dutch Harbor) & LOUIS
at Kendal VW in Anchorage. We received a great deal on a used car today , very happy we took a little more time searching. you saved my daughter thousands .
this is my 3rd purchase from this dealership, purchased 2 new VW in 2018. im not disappointed.and wont waste my time again searching elsewhere. professional, upfront no bs, fair deals,good people,and awesome service dept too
My recommendation; go see Brittany at Kendall VW Of Anchorage
Jamari Johnson
My experience @ the Audi dealership was nothing under extraordinary. Employees Cheyene Thomas and her manager Herman treated me like family was looking for a car yesterday got one today thnx a lot!!!!
Stefann Paddock
For Juneau residents, we only have one real option when buying a new car. We have to go the the single new car dealer in town and put up with those spoiled, rude, ignorant, arrogant, pompous dealers at the Subaru/Dodge/Chrysler/Honda/Toyota/Jeep/Chevy Mendenhall Auto dealership.
Or, at least that's what I thought, until I started doing some research
After doing the math, the money I saved by emailing and texting Ross from the Kendall dealership in anchorage and settling on a fair price for a car that I really wanted was well worth the trip; A black 2018 VW Tiguan SE. I LOVE THIS CAR!
They even got me a better rate of finance than Navy Federal Credit Union, which is basically unheard of.
With the money I saved by not settling on a Subaru (which Mendenhall Auto was not willing to negotiate anywhere close to invoice), and negotiating with Kendall, it was well worth the $500 it took to get it back down to Juneau. ($250 air fare - Juneau to Anchorage. $150 Ferry - Haines to Juneau. $100 Gas from Anchorage to Haines)
Charles Orr
The whole building is clean and fancy, and the staff are very welcoming. They have complementary snacks and a coffee machine that grinds fresh coffee too!
From sales to service, they make sure you're happy with your decision and don't put any pressure on you.
Alex
Great team very professional
Easy to communicate
Mark did a great job,highly recommend it
Whitney Moran
Bunmee ("boo") was super helpful getting my car into the shop for some recalls that needed to be taken care of. He made sure to stay in contact with me throughout the day to keep me updated and he had my car waiting for me when I got there after work! Very good customer service.
Jay Kruz
I want to thank Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage for the great service and awesome reception. I work seasonally in Alaska and recently took a 7,000 mi road trip from (FL to AK and back) and my 2017 Jetta did phenomenally. The start of my return trip included a quick stop to Kendall VW Anchorage for an oil change and to do a check of the vehicle that endured a seasons driving through Denali, Fairbanks and Anchorage. It's a testament to engineering and also the good habits and careful attention to detail by Kendall that could of been quite a different story by lesser dealerships. Also, Bunmee Yang was super courteous and helpful during my short supply trip. Thanks again guys and hope to see you next season!
Isolde Gibson
I trust your maintenance service from Boo that looks out for scheduling and explaining the procedure to the technicians that I rarely see and perform the work in your maintenance shop. This service is extremely important to me because I don't have the technical knowledge to take care of my Jetta. Please make sure to extend my Thank You to these people.
Sarah Langford
Great experience purchasing my new vehicle through Kendall. Lois Mangndi, in finance, and Stephanie Steele were both amazing! Thank you both!
Jenna Torkelson
I drive in from Palmer because the service here is top notch! Excellent service in every department! From making an appointment to having my car worked on. I feel like a VIP when I’m there! Thank you for excellent service yesterday!
Don and Paulette Poole
One flat tire caused a 3-hour delay in getting back home in Sterling. Instead of a flat repair or one new tire, we HAD TO BUY 3 TIRES to get a fourth and had to spend $455 instead of the cost of a ONE tire repair. A year ago, I asked Quick Lane in Kenai for all-season Goodyear tires like I had used on two VW Scirrocos in 21 years!! Now I have 4 new tires because my Goodyear tires could not be found in Alaska. And I have 4 new tires that will be changed as soon as Quick Lane can order one Goodyear All-season tire. They are studded AND NOISY and in 21 years I have not used studded tires. YIKE!
Otherwise, great help and great employees, very caring.
Don
Jimy Evans
I have two diesel Volkswagen vehicles and love them. The service at Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage is the best service I have ever received at any dealership I have worked with. The staff is friendly, professional and always provide detailed explanations of services received.
Robyn Langlie
Eleazar, Anthony and Mike made purchasing my new Taos SO easy! Thanks for a great car and great customer service.
jesse alva hill
My scheduler got me on the door quickly.. actually same day!!! Alex, then took me through the rest of the process. He did a fantastic job and kept me updated throughout!
I really appreciated the exceptional service!
Jordan Effinger
Austin Betts was a forthcoming, honest salesman who respected my requests and interrogations. I am thorough and did not feel pressured or as a nuisance. I highly recommend his demeanor, approach, and salesmanship to all current and future customers.
Roman Kalytiak
I had a weld come apart on one of the catalytic converters on my Touareg. Luckily I was in Anchorage and close to the dealership. I left the car for a few days (had them do the 30,000 mile maintenance too) and the service team was attentive (my phone interactions were with Cody). The work was completed.
The only gripe I have is that when I dropped the car off, the service department was closed, and the sales team/manager did not have the ability, authority or inclination to provide a loaner car (I live in Mat-Su). I bought an extended warranty for the Touareg, and this was obviously a problem that the warranty would address (never seen a catalytic converter come apart). Anyway, a dealership that sells high-end vehicles should have loaner vehicles available to their repeat customers when the service department is closed. That would up the score from good customer service to excellent customer service (and satisfaction).
Denise Wilson
I have purchased 2 vehicles from Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage and I have had excellent service from the Sales and Finance Teams both times. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle.
Elizabeth Larson
Plenty of staff both at the counter and in the shop to get me in and out in less than an hour. The cost was less than the initial quote and I was given detailed instructions on how to apply for the emissions credit online. I've never been treated rudely or with the feeling that I was a dumb woman!
Patrick Feeney
Very quick and clean! Herman and Alex were very polite, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Asa Winchester
The service was AWESOME!!! They bent over backwards to make sure that my experience was pleasant. I asked to be picked up at 1:30 to get my car and my ride was there 5 minutes early. I will definitely use VW when I need my car serviced.
Thurston West
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Kendall’s service all around at every location I’ve been to! They handle the small details and that’s what matters. They’ve corrected anything that wasn’t perfect and I’ll definitely shop at Kendall again in the future.
Jared Ryon
I came to the dealership just to see if I could finance anything having next to no down payment, and assuming since my credit wasn't great I'd have no luck, but Steven L Lamm found me a car in my price range and the financing wizard Luis Mangandi somehow got me a loan I could work with! Now I don't have to stress about sharing my wifes car trying to work around eachothers schedules, and I got an awesome car I can enjoy for a long time! P.S. That Crystal fusion stuff is insane
Donna Cook
Big shout out to Sami and Britney! They did a great job helping me while I was in a time crunch. Thanks for a job well done. I highly recommend this great team!
Lyn Pugay
I walked in for an oil change towards the end of the day. Alanis was extremely helpful and professional in making sure that it gets done even though there were a couple of cars ahead of me. Great service! Thank you!
Kit Smith
Under new owners, but it's still the same bad experiences with the service department. Brought my Audi in, that had a bad PCV (causing a sightly rough idle, 800-1100 rpm flutter and a check engine light) that was still under warranty. They replaced it with a updated part number, and it ran worse than before, with the idle now going all way up to 2000 rpm. They couldn't figure out the problem, and told me it was a boost leak and I'd have to pay for them to track down a boost leak. I fixed the problem myself by replacing the new and defective PCV they installed, and sold the car soon after. There was no boost leak, so one star for service
EDIT: The parts department is very friendly, accurate, and helpful in getting parts for my VW. Parts prices for the parts I've bought has been reasonable too, so five stars for that department.
Matthew Kirby
Brenden was very understanding and down to earth. Never tried to push me into anything I didnt ask for. Made buying my 2021 Tiguan a breeze. 10/10 Would buy from here again.
Valerie Hall
I was pleased with the overall service and efficiency when I took my VW Passat wagon in for a recall notice. They were friendly, and professional and completed the job in a timely manner!
The only issue I had was determining which service bay to drive into when I arrived. When faced with all the choices I accidentally drove into the one marked with a green X that said SERVICE.. Apparently this was the wrong bay, as the Porsche/Audi service representative made quite clear by his rather snobbish/arrogant tone directing me to back my car out and into the VW bay two doors down. The correct VW bay is marked with a green X that says EXPRESS SERVICE. It was a bit confusing. Why does the Porsche/Audi bay say "SERVICE", but the VW bay says, "EXPRESS SERVICE"? He needn't have been so arrogant; my husband has an Audi that we get serviced there regularly! Sorry to offend your sensibilities!
R. C.
Matt in servicing is the best. There is never a delay or confusion when he is handling the call or check out.
Dave Lamothe
As usual the team in the Service department exceeded expectations- even when I blow a fuse at 8am and show up on the doorstep with a tow truck. The VW service team makes it pretty easy to take care of the best car I've ever owned. Go team VW!
james hribernick
So I purchased my 3rd VW from VW of Anchorage , this time Kendall ! A 2018 All-trac Golf , great car an great experience with all of the sales associates ! They were actually fun to work with and they kept me in a VW ! If you think you wanna get a Vw go see these Gentlemen and Ladies , they will treat you right ! 5 out 5 👍. …
Bob Wattam
We just purchased a new Tiguan for our daughter. Sami Hart helped us through the whole process and we are extremely happy with her. Kendal Volkswagen of Anchorage is awesome!
Bryan Pentecostes
Ferman Vargas and JP Baquiran as well as Luis Mangandi were great at helping us decide what we needed for our vehicle. They were very friendly and courteous and thoughtful for our requests and made the decision making process alot easier. Thank you for your service! A+
Rae B. Kozlowski
Just purchased a VW from Kendall in Anchorage ~ my first vehicle purchase in many years. My Sales Person was terrific as were all of the Kendall staff that assisted me. Looking forward to dealing with Kendall VW going forward.
Nestor Flores
Elezar went above and beyond to make sure we found a vehicle fit for my family and I. Thank you so much, and to his managers, they work with you to meet you needs as well. Go team!
Brandon Gilliam
The initial salesmen were a little pushy and wasted time with small talk. Craig was a little on the weird side. Once I made it clear I knew what I wanted, Frank and Anthony provided perfect service and I could not have been happier with the results.
Riveter Rockz
Best service department ever! Thank you Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage for employing workers that pay attention to detail and do the job right! I have had only great experiences with your service department for the last 4 fours. Thank you!
Shawn Alyeska
It was the usual amazing first class customer service experience that Kendall is famous for followed by butt puckering work estimates that us VW owners have grown accustomed to as a rite of passage comparable to the use of bullet ants that the Santere-Mawe people use to turn boys into warriors. 1900$ for a headlight assembly...ow! Though their prices our competitive,I just have an expensive addiction to German engineering. :)
Scott Lee
One of the better car buying experience I have had. Ross and Elliott were professional. I will definitely consider this dealership again next time when I buy a car based on the experience alone.
Pamela Libby
I am always treated well when I take my Q5 for check ups! I love the coffee bar and muffins in the morning as well. The shop is clean, bright and very professional
Tuan Graziano
I had a bad car check experience a while back with Kendall Volkswagen. However, Johnny, Gerald, and the people at Kendall Volkswagen did a great job making it up with a fast, efficient, and professional oil change.
Sarah Russell
Called in to make an appointment for a recall notice. Customer Service was very friendly and accommodating. Having access to the shuttle while they serviced my car was great!
Leila J
They fixed the other issue on my car! Gave me a loaner car since it took a little longer then they realized. When I wasn't happy about something else, they made it up to me! Thank you vw! I'm a happy vw owner again!
Natosha Nichols
Cheyene was great! Very easy to work with and made the buying process more personal. If you want a helpful, but no pressure experience, definitely go see Cheyene! We are pleased with our purchase and the process 😊 …
Jonathan Barber
David Mitchell, Jo Marie, Frank, Kody and all the specialists at Kendall Audi VW Porsche were adept, perceptive, and listened respectfully to all our requests. They made the purchasing experience not only pleasurable and informative, they promoted a relationship that engendered respect for both sides of the deal. We are partners, not just another sale on the board. I look forward to future dealings and visits to our local Kendall Audi Porsche VW family. This is what Dale Carnegie meant when he wrote the book "Win Friends and Influence People", great job and congrats to all.
Ann Marie Sheppard
We took our KIA here because we purchased it from here. It was having a really loud squeaky/creaky noise while moving.
KENDALL had my car for 3 days. On the 3rd day we were told they were transferring it to LITHIA KIA because they could not diagnose the problem.
LITHIA called me at 2pm to say they had the car and at 3:30 they said come pick it up, "it's a bushing and we have it on order and will call you when it arrives."
I can't fathom how, within an hour and a half, LITHIA had a solution and KENDALL couldn't even diagnose the problem.
The service staff at KENDALL is always friendly and helpful and they kept in touch with us often over the 3 days....I just don't know why they were not able to identify the problem that was so quickly identified by LITHIA.
Katherine Goodell
The staff at the Service Department were polite and helpful. They got my car in and out when they said they would, waited for my approval to do additional service, and carefully explained diagnostic results and all charges. I would recommend their service.
Kaitlyn Cross
Sophia was great, this was my first car that I have purchased and not just I was treated like a queen but also Luis In the finance department helped me so much, I can tell they were both trying to help me on everything looking for what’s best for me, so I just wanted to say thank you Kendall for such an awesome experience!
Deonna Wells
Excellent service!!!! Bunme was very helpful, kept us informed with all the problems and what work needed to be done also how much it would be and made sure we were ok with it. When we picked up our vehicle explained what was done, the reason why and the final cost. Very pleased!!!
Everett Robbins
Been a VW fan for many years. The new dealership relocated from downtown to Dowling and Old Seward. Great people and great new facility. Love being able to drive inside to drop off a car for service. Friendly staff.
Haley A
Great vehicles and great people, though I have not bought from this dealer myself, I have been here before.
SCOTT WILLIAMSON
Everyone was friendly and professional! Johnny Lane, my service advisor, was very helpful and explained what was done to my car, thank you for a great experience!
Carla Hostetter

I drive a European vehicle so I dread the days I need work done on it because of cost, but the folks at Kendall are awesome, fast and much cheaper then you would think. And they have some of the best customer service I have seen.

The crew at Kendall Imports of Anch had me out the door with a new Toureg Exutive model before I even realized it, absolutely no pressure, young Kong Xiong was very well informed and quickly had my Toyota 4-runner appraised and a trade in applied.
Doing business with Kong and the crew at Kendall imports of Alaska was a pleasant surprise, no pressure what so ever, and every question heard and answered completely.
I will be doing business with Kendal imports of Anch for a long time.
Thank you Kong JOB WELL DONE!
All the best Jeanne Porter

Sarah Mulligan
Always an excellent experience! you can tell by the way they treat their customers that the staff really loves what they do. I always feel pampered even when just getting an oil change :)
Eric Yount
The service department for Kendall VW should be the benchmark for all dealership service departments. I wish Chevrolet of S. Anchorage was this good. The price is always what they quoted, no surprises.
Marissa Wilson
I was treated courteously by current staff for an issue that ultimately resulted in a year's worth of unnecessary tinkering and an oily mess. It appears to be resolved, and I will return here again if I or a local mechanic can't fix it first.
Phil Wight
This is one of the best dealerships I've ever been to. Their service department is very prompt and professional. Bunmee was exceptionlly knowledgeable and helpful. Prices are competitive too. Highly recommended.
