How to Get Ready
Getting set for your service reservation is crucial for a seamless process. Here's how you can prepare:
- Make a Reservation: Utilize our user-friendly online service scheduler on our website. Alternatively, drop by or give us a call to chat with one of our helpful Service Advisors to book your service reservation.
- Collect Important Details: It will be beneficial to bring along relevant paperwork, such as your vehicle's service history or warranty information, especially if you are a new visitor to our dealership or haven't visited us in a while.
- Arrange Transportation: As some repairs may require extended time, it is advisable to arrange alternate transportation during your visit.
- Practice Patience: Keep in mind that significant repairs, warranty service, and diagnostics might take hours to days to finalize. We value your patience and cooperation throughout the process.
Arriving at the Dealership
When you arrive at the dealership for your service reservation, follow these steps:
- Check-In with Service Advisor: Our helpful Service Advisors will help you check in for your reservation. They will assess your service requirements and offer guidance on the next steps.
- Discuss Transportation Options: If you haven't arranged alternative transportation while your car is being serviced, please be aware that we offer a complimentary shuttle within a 10-mile radius. Volkswagen of America does not offer loaner vehicles, but our dealership has a limited number of Service Rental vehicles available for rent. In some cases, VW may cover the rental cost for qualifying warranty repairs. Please inquire about eligibility with your Service Advisor.
What Happens During Service
Our skilled technicians will work diligently to address your vehicle's needs during your service reservation. Here's what you can expect:
- Diagnostic Process: Our technicians will conduct comprehensive diagnostics to pinpoint the root cause of any vehicle problems.
- Repair Process: Our team is committed to efficiently carrying out necessary repairs, targeting an 85% parts fill rate for same-day completion of most repairs. However, there are scenarios where Volkswagen parts may be on backorder, resulting in extended wait times. In such cases, we depend on the manufacturer to fulfill these orders. We acknowledge the potential frustration and empathize with our customers. Rest assured, we'll strive to keep you updated on your vehicle's status. It's typical for vehicles with parts on backorder to necessitate 2-3 visits for repairs to be finalized.
- Communication: Throughout the process, our team will update you on your vehicle's status and notify you of any delays or extra services required. Please be aware that addressing complex issues may require multiple service visits.
