The trained and certified technicians at our service department know how to care for every Volkswagen vehicle, from the moment it leaves the factory to the last time you take it out on the road. Whether you drive a VW Atlas or a VW Jetta, following the Volkswagen maintenance schedule is the best way to extend the lifespan, and increase the resale value, of the model that you love.

Although exact requirements and services may vary from model to model, our general guide to Volkswagen maintenance will apply broadly to most vehicles. Check your owner’s manual or contact our service team for details.
