I bought a 2018 Nissan Leaf the other day, and the experience was much better than the last time I bought from a dealership; the price listed on AutoTrader ended up being the actual price. | Read Full Review

Buying a car at a dealership can and usually is a stressful experience and although I wasn't able to purchase a VW today, Dan was personable, knowledgeable and delight to deal with. When I'm ready to buy, I'll go back to him and Carter of Ballard without a doubt! | Read Full Review

While driving, the center console and the entire electronics panel would reset and take about a minute to reappear. While it is resetting, I lose all cameras (including backup), all lane sensors, everything related to safety in a modern car. I can't even see my speedometer. I researched the issue and found that it is a common problem | Read Full Review

Carter VW always provides first-class service and sales.

Headline: Beware! Fraudsters and empty promises. I am writing this review to warn everyone: stay away from this dealership.

Right after the purchase, we discovered t | Read Full Review
