    Here is my original review of Kelly VW - followed by my updated review. Great place to do business with! I live about 2hr away on the NH/VT Border. I came across a really great deal on a CPO Jetta GLI. I submitted a deposit and filed a credit app from home in about 5min. It took about an hour to actually do everything there with Peter (who was great to deal with!). The car was delivered to my city hall up the street from my house in NH the next day to register. I would definitely do business with Peter at Kelly VW again!! EDIT: 9/3/25 I decided to remove the Kelly VW license plate frame and my license plate off the car when I was washing it to clean the dried bug guts off of them. I discovered there were four holes a little over 1/4" each that were "blown out" from where a previous plate holder had been ripped off the front of car. They just screwed a new plate frame into the bumper to cover the holes up. The car was a CPO VW with 13k on it and looked pristine otherwise. I informed Peter via email w/ a picture and he said "it's plastic so it's not a corrosion issue, it will be fine" and didn't respond to my follow up email. In retrospect it now feels like he had insisted on putting the tags on the car so I wouldn't see the holes. No way I'd have taken delivery of it otherwise. I had looked at so many other cars at other dealers and settled on that one. The holes are in such a way if anything mildly taps that bumper (things happen in parking lots) and it's going to crack between all of them. That's my main concern - and then I'm going to be out the money to fix it. Two days later I emailed again as I hadn't gotten an reply back and said it's a shame to change 5 reviews I left him and Kelly VW across a few platforms over something as simple as this. His response was- "Don't threaten me, But go right ahead. I have thick skin. There is. In fact. Nothing to be done." Huh? Wow... I figured he would have asked his boss if anything could be done as it may had just been an oversight. I was not expecting that response at all after my original pleasant encounter when I bought the car. It kind of creeped me out to be honest. Anyway, I'm following up with VW corporate and awaiting their response. This was my 2nd new/CPO VW in two years. And probably the last. If you buy a car from here? Please inspect literally every inch and ask them to take the plate frames off and make sure this isn't an ongoing issue with his cars. And DO NOT DEAL WITH PETER SIMMONS, once he gets his money he could care less about a you. If you spend $30k on something that's certified CPO and supposed to be in the same condition as new? But has hidden damage? It Kind of blows And getting that response when it's questioned? is 10x worse.

    A review I didn't want to write but its important that others know my experience with my VW warranty and Kelly VW in Danvers MA. I own a business and really do appreciate when my customers with an issue, come to me first. It gives me a chance to correct the problem and if handled correctly, earn a customers future business for a long time to come. I come from a background of having owned new Jettas, Passat's, a certified used CC, used Jetta and a certified pre-owned Audi S5. It is safe to say that I have loved the German brands and their build quality. However, what I have just discovered is that VW (and Kelly VW as their agent in my recent purchase) in my opinion, do not stand behind their warranty. On the last day or two of 2022, I purchased a 2023 VW ID.4. The purchase experience was excellent and I really liked Kelly VWs sales team. And the car Is solid and drives great. The software not so much but hey it's hard to get everything in the EV category. I am a bit of a car nerd so after purchase I looked through the VW online forums and kept up with other ID4 owners online, over the last year and a half. At about 17k miles my steering wheel started to peel a little bit. A quick search through google and/or reddit showed that this is an issue with some ID4s particularly the 2023 models. I have been told the 2022 models used leather, 2023s had fake leather and 2024s switched back to the leather steering wheel. No big deal I thought and brought it in to Kelly VW. At this stage the peeling was minimal but I wanted to get a head of it in case there was an easy fix. Alas, VW of America turned down my warranty claim pretty much saying I did it. Fast forward a month later and the steering wheel is peeling like crazy, I have steering wheel dandruff everywhere when I drive. It's actually embarrassing when there is someone with me in the car. So I bring it back to Kelly VW, get some photos taken and get it escalated to field managers etc.. After 2 months of back and forth, my claim has been denied again. Kelly VW did offer to fix the issue if I paid a $200 "copay". This manufacturing issue is 100% not of my making. To summarize, I did not do this to my $53k/19k miles vehicle, this has never happened on any other auto I have owned, it is a known issue with this model and year and others have had it covered. For me the VW quality of build and the fallback of a decent warranty is why I purchased several VWs. I no longer have confidence in Kelly VW, The VW brand and their "warranty" and will not be buying Audi or VW again in the future. PS the service dept folks at Kelly and the CSA at VW of America were polite, nice people to talk with and were prompt and quick to follow up with me so thank you ! I can't speak to the higher ups that denied my claim.

    I had a really wonderful experience with this team. they bent over backwards to help us out. 1. We just called up on the phone to verify the car they had in stock was really in stock and it was! We placed a deposit over the phone and there was ZERO dealer markup. Just the window sticker price 2. They honored our Volkswagen Partner program certificate for $500 off 3. They didn't hassle us about extended warranties or any protection on the car 4. While they could not get the interest rate we wanted, they did let me work with outside financing who beat their interest rate...many dealerships won't do outside financing right now so this was GREAT! 5. Very good communication. When our finance rep was going on vacation, he emailed us and put us in touch with another person who was fantastic and updated us every day My bank took 11 days from application approval to giving me a check and Kelly VW was patient the entire time. On the final day, we had taken so many days off work to drive an hour each way to the credit union that we didn't want to drive another 4 hours to and from Kelly VW. No problem, they brought the car to us in New Hampshire and all of the paperwork. We signed everything, gave them a check and off we went. I never set foot inside of the dealership and yet everything went so smoothly. The car arrived shiny, beautiful and in showroom condition. I can't say the same about my bank BUT, Kelly Volkswagen treated us exceptionally well.

    The experience at Kelly Volkswagen Danvers is unmatched. The Product Experts, Managers, & Sales Representatives are extremely professional and understanding, most importantly they treat you with respect. The absolute transparency on pricing from New to Certified Pre-Owned is something you cannot find many other places. There is no grey area when it comes to price which makes the process 100x times smoother, more comfortable, and completely stress free. I highly recommend Kelly VW to anyone looking for great, affordable prices on fantastic, clean, modern automobiles. From the front desk to the back office, the individuals running ship is what makes this Volkswagen special.

    Before you read my review, or anyone else's - go look up all their dealerships. There's 2 Kelly Nissan dealerships, a Kelly Ford dealership, a Kelly Jeep-Chrysler dealership, and a Kelly Honda dealership. ONLY ONE HAS AT LEAST 3 STARS. This company is a giant scam. First off, I called VW corporate, and they essentially told me that whenever this place says that they are a "top rated dealership" or that their mechanics are "top rated by VW", it's complete nonsense. The only ratings are internal and not audited by VW, so they're most likely not real. I also did not receive any survey so I'd be led to believe they don't send surveys to upset customers, and therefore do not receive negative feedback. Seems like I'm not the only one disappointed. I will say that before posting this review I had extensive sessions with Nick, the service manager, who I'm thinking was probably in a tough spot. Hate to post this review but I feel as if my concerns were completely brushed aside. Two and a half weeks ago, I called Kelly VW for regular service on my timing belt. I had just bought a used car and felt it should be replaced because the car was just over the 100k miles. I scheduled the appointment for a week out. On the arranged day (Wednesday), I brought my car in, and as is normal, they said it would take about 6-12 hours for the car to be ready - at the very latest Thursday morning. Wednesday night I get a call (uh oh) from Rachel saying that they didn't have all the parts for the job...which I ordered a week in advance. I had made it very clear that I needed my car for work, due to insurance reasons. She kept insisting that I should be happy with the crappy loaner that had someone else's lotion in it. I was not happy, but she promised it would be done by Thursday night. Thursday night rolls around and Rachel is texting me telling me that it's going to have to be Friday morning because the mechanic didn't know how to do this specific timing belt. Friday rolls around and they tell me Monday. I'm now missing 5 days of work. I even had to ask for an apology. Rachel said sorry, then threw in a massive "but" and continued to blame the situation on me. When I went on Monday to see the Service Manager named Nick, it was even more disappointing. First off, he drives a Mercedes (pic included), so you know he just loves VWs. Second, he tried to insist that the man who had done my timing belt was one of the best mechanics in the country, but that it took 15 hours for him to replace a timing belt. He took 100 bucks off. For shame. Come to find out, after I left, the free "wash" they gave me was probably just them spraying my car with a hose. Look at all the water spots. I will never come here again. If you need any help writing a demand notice or getting your money back, please contact me. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A REPAIR, SEND A 30 DAY DEMAND NOTICE CITING MA 940 CMR 5.05 I'd like to make clear that if they do respond here, it will be to say that they didn't have the one time bolts that they needed to fix my car. Again, I made my appointment a week in advance, so it's just nonsense spin.

I brought my car in to fix a few issues, but all they did was give me a fairly expensive oil change. Over the next three weeks, they continued to string me along by saying that they were developing an estimate for the repairs. The estimate started at $3800, which I agreed to, but then a different person I spoke with said that they had "forgotten" to add a repair to the estimate, and that the real estimate was almost $8000. While it seemed outrageous that the price would essentially double over one thing they "forgot", I was desperate and they came highly reviewed, so I agreed and asked when I could bring my car in. Without any hesitation and without consulting anyone, the person I spoke with said that the almost $8000 estimate wasn't the ACTUAL estimate, and that they wanted to "look at the numbers again". To be honest, it felt like they were just jacking the price up to see how much I'd pay. I was nothing but pleasant and respectful over the phone, and they had given me my car back after the oil change, so this was not a situation where they were finding new things wrong -- they didn't have my car. This place does not seem honest or reliable at all. They didn't even attempt to fix the problems with my car when I brought it in. They gave multiple escalating quotes and didn't stick to any of them. They didn't call when they said they would, or at all.

He immediately started in on me saying he would not inspect the vehicle and I should go back to where it was initially inspected. I just asked why he wouldn't do the inspection and he just got louder and said "if I didn't repair it, I won't re inspect it." It was an OEM bumper for christ sakes, and it took me all of 2 hours to remove and replace. This was the first time I have had a vehicle rejected so I was not aware of the need to go back to the original inspection station. I would have thought that since these are State Inspections, the process would be uniform across all service stations. It looked to me like he was having a bad Monday and decided to give a bit of that attitude to me. I'll cross this station off my list. Not the way to treat a person or a potential customer.
