Volkswagen Team – Bashian Joins Ontario VW’s All-Star Line-Up

Volkswagen Team Shant Bashian has been a Volkswagen guy, thru and thru, for nearly his entire adult life.  And sure he’ll help you get the best deal possible on one, but perhaps more importantly, he’ll detail from his own experience what makes every VW special.  He’ll point out the very little things that make the biggest difference when it comes to what’s referred to as the ‘fit and finish’ of a vehicle. In this iDriveSoCal Podcast, we profile Ontario VW’s newest team member.  Formerly of both Puente Hills and Pasadena Volkswagen; Shant shares his love or the VW brand and why he chose Ontario VW as his new home. And Shant is highly accessible – you can call him on his cell any time: 626-710-6455, or email him SBashian [at] OntarioVW [dot] com.  He loves meeting new customers that inevitably become his friends.  Click play below to hear the details from Shant himself! ***Transcript*** Recorded August 21, 2018  in Ontario, CA Top SoCal Volkswagen Team Adds To Its Ranks Shant: I've had three Touaregs, two Jettas, one Passat, two CCs. And, just recently in September, I surprised my wife by replacing our Touareg with a 2018 Atlas. Volkswagen has always been softer rubber materials on the dash, the doors, the buttons of the windows, the way they feel, the material. It makes all the difference.  These are the little things that VW looks at, but it brings out the quality. When you drive a Volkswagen, and you drive a different brand vehicle, you definitely immediately feel the difference. "I've had three Touaregs, two Jettas, one Passat, two CCs. And, just recently in September, I surprised my wife by replacing our Touareg with a 2018 Atlas."

What we wanna do with this podcast is really let people know, this is a profile of you, right, dealer people. Car buying, quite honestly ... You've been a buyer, right? Shant: Absolutely. Tom: Before being in the business. Shant: Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I've walked into dealers. Tom Smith: Yeah, and so you know having worn that hat, it can be a scary proposition, it can be anxiety-filled. Ontario Volkswagen, as well as everybody that we work with at iDriveSoCal, we're all about kind of pulling down those walls, pulling down those barriers and creating that level of comfort. Let's talk a little bit about your background in the automotive business. I know that your first entry into the automotive business was actually on the service side, which is pretty interesting.
