Excellent service by Ronald Mabundza - Barons VW Woodmead
I recently purchased a vehicle from Barons VW Woodmead, and I felt compelled to share what has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. A special thank you to Ronald Mabundza, who truly went above and beyond throughout the entire process. His level of commitment, professionalism, and willingness to assist was outstanding. He bent over backwards to secure the best possible deal, ensured I received maximum value on my trade-in, and personally saw to it that every concern or snag I raised was addressed. That kind of service is rare. I would also like to extend my appreciation to Aarvarn for the support and overall customer-centric approach. It’s clear that there is a strong culture of service excellence at Barons VW Woodmead. What stood out most to me was the effort made behind the scenes — the team invested time and resources into ensuring the vehicle was delivered in excellent condition, which did not go unnoticed. The entire experience was smooth, transparent, and genuinely enjoyable. Because of this, I will gladly recommend Barons VW Woodmead to friends, family, and colleagues. Well done to the team — this is how car buying should be done.

Barons woodmead does not care
My buying experience has not been pleasant - I’m stuck with a vehicle that’s not even a month old but the permit expired, the license disk is expired and passed the 21 days grace perioud. No assistance with a permit or courtesy car. I found out that there were add ons to my finance that I never authorised, scratch and dent covers for a bakkie, and warranties. I thought going to a reputable VW dealer would make the purchase smooth and stress free, but nope.

Poor Service and inconsiderate
Bought spares in Woodmead branch last week Tuesday (24/02/2026), Rethabile sold me the wrong Parts. Inform them, they say they will collect and refund within 3 days. Day goes no contact from VW. Called as to speak to Manager Pieter, says on top of it, will call ne back. No call Back from him. No update from Rethabile. today 04/03/2026 still no communication. No refund. Reply from owner "unable to reach out directly." my name appears on goole review. am sure if they wanted to solve the problem they would have attended to it.

Bad customer service Barons Waterfront
Barons Volkswagen waterfront I am very disappointed, I've never had such a bad customer service. I brought my car for Service and diagnostic on the 10th of December 2025 at 07h25 hoping to have it checked same or worst case scenario the following, the day went I received no communication, on the following day I decided let me call and find out, only to be told, someone whom my car is assigned will contact me with progress a day went by, my brother contacted them on my behalf and then they contacted me only to tell they can't locate a problem but they will run further diagnostic, mind they only called because my brother called them to find out how far are they, because the car has been there for two days now. On the 12th December 2025 still there was no contact made until after 12h00 then at 13h00 I decided to go take my car

Volkswagen Waterfront removed wheelnuts of each wheel
Volkswagen Waterfront on Dock Road Cape Town, did a major services on my vehicle and decided to remove 1 wheelnut from each wheel. When I contacted them they said they cant help me today and just put the phone down in my ear. If im going to get in an accident and my insurance is not going to pay out I will sue them for everything
