New Name, Same Great Service: When Change Is Good

How do you feel about change? Whether changing your hairstyle, moving to a new home, changing your diet, or getting behind the wheel of a new car, change (big or small) is an integral part of who we are as humans. It’s the common thread that weaves us all together, pushing us forward to do better, be better, and accomplish more. This sense of positive change is at the heart of Auburn Volkswagen recently becoming your Bud Clary Auburn VW dealer.

But what does this change mean for you? We know that change can be intimidating and scary sometimes, especially if it’s unexpected or unknown. We’re here to mitigate that feeling and show you what it means to shop with Bud Clary Auburn Volkswagen, a dealership dedicated to helping customers like you find outstanding cars. Here’s everything you need to know about our new name and how some things change, yet others stay the same.

The Bud Clary Auto Group

The Bud Clary Auto Group opened its doors in 1959, and our first dealership immediately distinguished itself with its small-town values and expansive, big-city inventory. These characteristics have defined every one of our dealerships since, shaping the success and legacy of the family-owned Bud Clary Auto Group. With each expansion, our dealerships have aimed for new standards of excellence in the automotive business.

Over the last six decades, the Bud Clary Auto Group has grown to include 14 locations and has dramatically impacted communities stretching from Seattle to Portland to Yakima and Moses Lake. No matter where you are in Washington state, there’s a dealership in the area that bears the Bud Clary Auto Group name, and that means something.

A Vast Selection of Vehicles

You know you’re in good hands when you shop with a Bud Clary Auto Group dealer. But what does this mean when it’s time to buy a vehicle like a Volkswagen? Bud Clary Auto Group dealers are renowned for their expansive inventories, and Bud Clary Auburn Volkswagen is no different. Whether you’re shopping for a new or used model, you’ll find what you’re looking for here on our lot.

After decades of experience in the industry, we know that every customer comes to us with unique and specific needs. While some might be shopping for a family-friendly SUV, others are looking for an efficient sedan to navigate their weekday commutes around Seattle and Tacoma. Our goal is to meet all these needs, so we work tirelessly to hand-select every car, truck, SUV, and minivan in our inventory. But more importantly, we hold our inventory to high standards, thoroughly vetting every model to give our customers the confidence to shop under the Bud Clary Auto Group banner.

Our vast selection of vehicles saves customers like you valuable time and money. It eliminates the need to shop around for the perfect model. You can find exactly what you need right here with Bud Clary Auburn Volkswagen; it’s guaranteed because it comes with the Bud Clary name.

Integrity and Transparency

Bud Clary Auto Group dealers are known for their ongoing commitment to integrity and transparency. Longtime Auburn Volkswagen customers know how much this matters to us because it’s defined our approach since we opened our doors here in Auburn 45 years ago. Since the late 1970s, we set out to shift the focus from the sale to what matters most––you, the customer. Now, as Bud Clary Auburn Volkswagen, we get to take that goal to the next level.

You’ll see this as soon as you walk in the door or drive onto our lot. We’ve added over 50 new staff members to our already exceptional team, significantly expanding our impact. Our team has more time to focus on providing the best customer experience we are capable of because of our larger staff. We’ve replaced the traditional dealership hustle and bustle with a laid-back environment where your needs always take priority.

Whether they’re seasoned veterans or new hires, every member of our team upholds the same values of transparency and honesty. These values provide a common bond throughout our dealership and reflect that the Bud Clary Auto Group is a family-owned business, but they also do something else. They guarantee your experience here is exceptional, regardless of who you’re working with or what you need.

Our transparent pricing removes any confusion or stress when you are shopping on our new or used lot. More importantly, our sales team shares your passion for the Volkswagen brand and can walk you through every feature so that you understand the value you’re getting with your purchase. This same transparency defines our finance department, where our finance experts are committed to helping you find the right loan or lease option for your budget. You’ll also experience it at our service center, where our technicians explain every necessary repair and projected cost, so there are no surprises when the work is complete.

A Lifetime Partnership

Just as we have over the past 45 years, the new Bud Clary Auburn Volkswagen will continue to commit itself to every customer for a lifetime. While some dealerships call it quits after the sale, we know that’s when the real work begins. After the sale is final, it’s time to prove just how invested we are in your success and how we’ll follow through on our promises. So what does this mean for you?

Our lifetime partnership means we’re here for all your automotive needs. We’ll help you find the perfect Volkswagen, but we’ll also help you get the most out of your vehicle and protect your investment. Purchasing a car is an investment, so why not get the most for your money? That’s where our factory-trained and certified technicians take the spotlight.

Our service team is made up of talented and skilled technicians. They know the ins and outs of every make and model, but more importantly, they treat every vehicle like it is their own. So when you drop your car, truck, or SUV off at the Bud Clary Auburn Volkswagen service center, you know it’s in good hands, and that’s hard to put a price on.

Some Things Change, Some Things Stay the Same

Like many of us, the Bud Clary Auto Group and Auburn Volkswagen share a common bond––change, the only constant in life. In June 2022, Auburn Volkswagen experienced a significant change when the Bud Clary Auto Group added our dealership to its family of dealers. A new legacy was born.

Bud Clary Auburn Volkswagen continues the 45-year Auburn Volkswagen tradition of offering exceptional service to its clients. However, that tradition gets even better with the Bud Clary name and the automotive group’s own 63-year (and counting) legacy. That’s well over a century of combined experience in the automotive industry, providing a level of expertise and commitment you know you can count on.

We’re proud of this experience and our rich history in Auburn and the surrounding communities. But we’re even prouder to have this unique opportunity to better serve customers like you. With a larger team and the same small-town values you’ve come to know and appreciate, we’re here to show you that while some things change, others stay the same. Our commitment to you will never falter, and with that comes the promise to deliver the best customer experience we can when you’re here.
