Volkswagen Audi Servicing Questions
Q1. My new car is still under the Volkswagen Audi Group manufacturers warranty, can I still use Volksport to save on maintenance costs?
Yes you can, new laws now allow us to complete all of your annual service requirements and wear and tear items such as brakes, discs, wipers etc at a fraction of the cost of main dealer prices. Should any major mechanical fault occur simply take it to the nearest franchised dealer and they will carry out the repair free of charge under the terms and conditions of your existing warranty
Q2. My new car has a free service package from the dealer, can Volksport still save me money?
YES, free dealer servicing tends to only cover basic oil services and doesn't include items such as brake pads, discs, tyres and wiper blades to mention but a few, any additional work carried out will be chargeable - at main dealer rates. We advise you check what is free and save money by having any extra work carried out by ourselves.
Q3. My car is getting older now and I need to keep maintenance costs to a minimum?
We understand that maintaining older vehicles can sometimes be very costly. At Volksport we are able to give you a choice of genuine manufacturer parts or suitable cheaper after market parts to help suit your budget.
