Socal's Biggest Little VW Dealer. The dealership was built in 1963 and was first called Bill Yates Volkswagen, Porsche. In De ... cember 1993, Volkswagen of America purchased the store, renamed it Capistrano Volkswagen and managed the dealership's operations until June 1997, when Miles Brandon, the current owner, purchased the store from Volkswagen of America. Capistrano Volkswagen has been an industry leader in many ways, the first of which was when the New Beetles arrived. While most dealers were charging from hundreds to several thousands of dollars over the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, Capistrano Volkswagen has never charged customers more than what Volkswagen suggested the price should be. We have maintained this same philosophy to this day. Another way Capistrano Volkswagen does this is through our 7 day exchange guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your New or Pre-owned vehicle, bring it back within 7 days and apply it towards another vehicle in stock of equal or greater value. These are just a couple of ways, we at Capistrano Volkswagen give our Smileage Guaranteed. MISSION STATEMENT: We the Capistrano Volkswagen Family are dedicated to industry and community leadership while providing a friendly, fair, and enthusiastic atmosphere for each other and our guests. read more
