The benefits of servicing your VW

Longevity: Volkswagens are built to last. They’re one of the most consistent, reliable vehicles available. But, if you want yours to stay that way and keep running for years to come, you need to look after it with regular servicing.
Reliability: Forget failed MOTs and early morning breakdowns. When you have your Volkswagen serviced at Bowydd Garage, you can rest assured your vehicle is ready to take on any challenges it comes across.
Savings: Regular servicing can save you hundreds of pounds each year. It catches any issues before they become expensive repairs. And, it ensures your engine is running efficiently, increasing your miles per gallon.
How do I know when my VW needs servicing?
Most Volkswagens need to be serviced either every 10,000 to 20,000 miles or every 12 to 24 months, whichever comes first.
You’ll know your Volkswagen is ready to be serviced because its service indicator or service light will turn on in your dashboard. Failing that, you should have a service schedule in your handbook, this will tell you when you’re next ready to go in.
However, after your first VW service with us, we’ll send you a reminder 4 weeks before your next service is due. Any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
