Free Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles check offered for winter

Owners of Volkswagen commercial vehicles will be offered a free winter check-up when visiting approved van centres and authorised repairers across UK. The winter check is a 30-point check and is to help avoid breakdown, covering battery, tyres, lights, wipers and fluids. Volkswagen Roadside Assistance has over the last two winters attended many calls. Battery related calls were 2,500 and wiper and washer related calls were 700.

During the check-up Volkswagen screenwash will be free for topping-up. This screen washer is certified to -7 degrees Celsius. The company also claims to replace any items needed to, with competitively priced Volkswagen approved parts. Stephen Bateson, head of customer service and after-sales, stressed the importance of good quality screenwash to cheaper alternatives. He also emphasised that the correct anti-freeze level is crucial to reduce risks of frozen water pumps or burst pipes. This free winter check-up will keep vehicles on road without unnecessary breakdowns or repairs and as a result, lost business.
