VW USA Announces Free-Service on its Entire 2009 Line-Up For Up To 3-Years


Following the example of other car manufacturers in the U.S., VW of America announced today a no-charge “Carefree Maintenance Program” on its entire 2009 model line-up. What this means -in theory at least- is that there are no charges for the scheduled maintenance described in each vehicle’s maintenance booklet for the length of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty which is three years or 36,000 miles after purchase, whichever comes first.

VW’s Carefree Maintenance Program will be launched in the U.S. with the introduction of the Tiguan compact SUV. This program also covers the forthcoming Routan, VW’s Chrysler based 7-passenger minivan, which arrives in dealer showrooms later this year. -Continued

“Volkswagen’s Carefree Maintenance Program is a great way to improve our owner loyalty for our brand, as well as increase consumer consideration” said Mark Barnes, Chief Operating Officer, Volkswagen of America, Inc. “This program also differentiates us from our competition by allowing us to be the only automaker among our key competitors to offer a no-charge maintenance program” added Barnes.
