What Is A Service Appointment?

A service appointment is when your Volkswagen service advisor is expecting you to be at the dealership. We want to schedule the appointment at the best time for you so the advisor is ready for you at that time. The advisor is the liaison between the customer and technician to describe any concerns that you may have have to our manufacturer trained technicians.

Based on shop availability/technician availability your Volkswagen may not actually get worked on immediately after delivery. We have different times to diagnose and report and we do our best to schedule all vehicles out within a timely manner.

What Is A Volkswagen Manufacturer Trained Technician?

What Is An OEM Volkswagen Part?

OEM stands for “original equipment manufacturer”. In other words, an OEM part is a part built by the manufacturer for that specific vehicle.

Why Is My Volkswagen Saying I Need To Get It Serviced? And What Does That Cost?

Those services are the manufacturer recommended services which is different from a required service. Recommended services are not immediate but manufacturer recommended.

If we do not, we will order them to our dealership by the time of your appointment so that you do not have to bring your car in twice.
