Customer reviews
I was waited on promptly and with a big welcoming smile. The waiting room was well equipped to help pass the time, with people checking in now and then to be sure we were doing OK. My car was ready in a short amount of time. The check out was efficient. Everything about the charges as well as the condition of the car was well explained. A very pleasant experience! - Georgia Seibert
I have been getting my Jetta serviced at Thelen Audi Volkswagen Mazda and I found the people working there to be very flexible, considerate and fair. They were very easy and friendly to work with and I will be a return customer. I hope they have a presence in Mount Pleasant, MI someday. Thanks for the great service! - John Jackson
