Everyone was very helpful and had a good attitude. I work in the auto service industry and can say all advisors there passed with flying colors. I wish we could have gotten more done with my vehicle but I give them 5 stars for really trying to diagnose my very specific vehicle.


Great service great attitude great atmosphere


Polite staff. Ease of scheduling. Punctual.

Quick and easier purchase of the car I wanted. Great job getting me in and out with a nice clean car.


Steve Hill in service is amazing to work with. He explains everything in detail and always keeps you updated. He is very knowledgeable and helps you get over the inconvenience of your car problem.


We have purchased two cars at Bud Brown. Each experience has been awesome. The latest car was an electric. Jeff did a great job of walking us through everything and making us feel comfortable with the purchase. I'm going to be a life long Bud Brown customer!!

The experience was easy, efficient and productive!

Cody was knowledgeable, helpful and let me move at my pace. Great experience. Thanks Bud Brown VW. I’m a new fan!


Had a great experience dealing with Rick Pringle, Cody James and the entire staff at Bud Brown VW. The allowed me to test drive several units until I found the vehicle that fit my needs. They explained all the purchasing and financing options that were available to me and I am now driving a 2023 VW Tiguan with all the latest technical advances. I would recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a New or Used Vehicle.

We bought a used Audi Q5 at Bud Brown. It was a first class experience from the test drive to the signing of the final documents. Max Harrel was our salesman. He was great. We have 3 cars in our family from Bud Brown. I'm sure there will be more.


We had an amazing experienced at Bud Brown VW in Olathe for purchasing our first ever VW SUV! Cody, felt us welcome when we got there, explained every question we had for our desired vehicle, and most importantly we didn’t feel any pressure at all on forcing us to get a deal right away. He gave us time to think and respect our privacy. Lifetime power train warranty sealed the deal also. Overall all it was a great experience and highly recommended dealership.

Great car buying experience! Mike & Julie were both extremely professional & well prepared to make my purchase so positive & easy. I would highly recommend Bud Brown if you're looking for a quality car with excellent customer service!

This was a great experience. I dropped my car off in the morning and by mid afternoon it was done. Everyone was very kind and respectful.

Stellar job changing my oil and fixing an issue with my radio

Easy to work with!

Cody is wonderful to work with. Our 3rd car from Bud Brown. Great to work with.

Great Service. Steve in the service department is awesome to work with.

Steve and the team are amazing- I love the service you all provide!

I waited for my vehicle. The waiting room was clean and nice, and I didn't have to wait long for the team to update my system for a recall and check on an item of concern.

Good service, friendly people, top notch product. Quality cars.


very professional

First time as a car owner in MY own name, let me be excited! But I love my new car, I had a wonderful service thanks to Rick and his employee Jason! Thorough in details throughout the service in picking my car, and test driving! I am MOST definitely buying another car through here, because of their amazing top notch service!!!!!!!!

We just made our second purchase from Bud Brown Volkswagen and we're so happy. Jason Wattree, our sales person, was honest, fair and personable. We enjoyed working with him. The dealership takes care to source quality pre-owned vehicles and provide excellent customer service. We hope to purchase our next vehicle from Jason at Bud Brown Volkswagen.

The best car buying experience I’ve had! Jake was so nice, helpful, and very knowledgeable answering all my questions during the whole process. I was recommended to Bud Brown by my brother in law because of how well he’s been treated over the years buying multiple cars with them. I will be the one recommending Bud Brown to anyone looking for a new car now!

I was treated well, and I appreciate that they took care of an issue with the factory radio and put in a new aftermarket system including the backup camera, microphone, and connecting the steering wheel controls so that everything worked.

Best experience in car buying 👌


Steve is exceptional. Honest and extensive explanations of what was checked, repaired, and/or may need attention in the future. Outstanding service dept.

This is the fifth car I have leased from Bud Brown VW and I couldn't be happier with the service and the professionalism. Jeff, Pete, Jason and Julie were fantastic to work with and made leasing my new vehicle a breeze. I highly recommend Bud Brown VW to anyone looking for a vehicle.

Fantastic customer service!




Everyone was excellent.

Great experience buying our VW Tiguan! Cody and Julie made the process quick and easy!! Thank you both 🙂


Good



Always get prompt and courteous service. They take the misery out of the visit. I would highly recommend.




KP and Steve are great! Got me in and out quick! Great service.

Steve was able to get to my car ahead of schedule and the tech diagnosed my car's issues. Steve kept me informed, we agreed on the required work and the tech completed the work and I'm very happy with the outcome.


Steve treated us like family. He helped explain the problem very well and also found us a coupon to help with the unexpected cost of fixing the car.



Jeff was amazing! Quick and friendly! Made the experience of buying a new vehicle phenomenal.

Excellent Service, quick, easy and the staff/technicians were very professional.


My VW was mechanically repaired at Bud Brown Volkswagen after a car accident recently. I bought my car at this dealership and knew I could trust their work. Steve Hill in the service department guided me through the steps, patiently explaining all that needed to be done and the timeframe to expect. He worked with my insurance carrier to make sure every damaged part was accounted for and replaced. I truly appreciate Steve’s diligence and communication skills and the excellent work by his mechanics. I highly recommend Bud Brown VW!

It was alright to deal with

Dealer replaced missing cabin filter and filter door when discovered missing at no charge

Friendly, explained everything well.


Our salesman, Cody J., was a awesome to work with! Very polite and answered any questions I had. The entire process went smoothly!

After a bad experience with another car company, this dealer went above and beyond my expectations. They did exactly what needed to be done in a timely manner, and at the correct price. The other company tried to charge me double for the work. I will be a customer for life!

Second car purchased from Jason Wattree and I would recommend him to anyone. Is friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. Dan was low pressure and made things easy when closing the deal. Great place to do business.


Steve was my Service Advisor. He was thorough in his explanations of the work that needed done and he was patient while I took time to understand and think through my decisions. Thank you, Steve .


Jake Xaymong was knowledgeable and was accommodating to my schedule. Jake also helped me with clearing out the trade-in and handled the license plate installation. Mike Burkemper was great to work with regarding the final negotiation. Both of these people made the experience pleasant. There were no problems that I could recommend improvement. In addition Julie was very clear and efficient on all of the paperwork once we agreed on the sale. Julie explained the warranty and optional coverages accurately.


We had a great experience buying our first EV! Jeffrey walked us through everything and made buying a car as pleasant as it could be. Very happy with our new car and the service we received.


Great service and helpful in presenting relevant service needs to keep vehicle in great condition

Salesmen were very knowledgeable about the vehicle. The sales process was smooth and not pushy.


I was surprised but pleased that the service shop was open the next Saturday and could provide the work I was requesting. The work was done as advertised at the expected amount. Service advisor was helpful and accommodating.

Agree with all the previous 5 star reviews. 3rd VW purchase from Bud Brown. Very much appreciate the call from Jason to alert us to the availability of the Atlas and enduring the continuing saga of my disabled vehicle that is still awaiting repairs. Not sure there's another dealership would have been as accommodating of my situation as Bud Brown.

Working with Jason was a great experience.

Good dealership with knowledgeable sales staff.

Jake in sales and Dan in finance helped me lease a beautiful brand new 2023 VW Taos. I appreciate their commitment to making a deal happen the same day I came in to the dealership with financing and a good offer on my trade in. Thanks so much for all your help! I'll definitely be referring my friends and family to Bud Brown Volkswagen!!

Recently obtained and Id4 and it has been a terrific experience. The staff went out of their way to make sure that I was comfortable with the vehicle. I would highly recommend them.

Jake was amazing and so knowledgeable. He knew everything and anything about the cars and helped me get the best deal possible. He wasn’t pushy or in your face which is something I look for when buying a car. It was exciting to figure out what I wanted without being pressured and I found a car that I loved easily. Jake was wonderful! I definitely recommend him when it comes to buying your next VW!

The gentleman I spoke to on the phone was enthusiastic and began the whole experience wonderfully. I was estimated to wait two maybe three hours for my repairs and it was done in one! Absolutely zero complaints here.


Great communication, easy appointment, and fast diagnosis and repair.


Quick and solid service!

They consistently go above and beyond my expectations.

Always have a great experience with Steve. He has taken very good care of our car, and even though we haven’t been going there that long he knows us by name.

I received good service.

I’m happy that you checked the brakes for us and told us they were still in the safe range. Service was quick and on time.

They were courteous and efficient. My car was fixed quickly and completely. Thanks for what you did.

2 hours for an oil change


Outstanding service! Car is running better than ever. Everything was done in a day and the service manager was very nice in explaining everything that needed to be done.

No pressure, honest dealings. It was a real pleasure getting our new car. Smokey the internet sales office, Mlke the sales manager, Jake our salesman, even Julie in the finance office. Every one of these people we dealt with were friendly, not pushy, very easy to talk too, and they listened. You can’t go wrong going to Bud Brown.
