Why Servicing Your Vehicle Is So Important
Regular servicing is key to keeping your vehicle safe and running smoothly. It’s not just about ticking boxes—it’s about preventing those unexpected, costly repairs that can sneak up on you. Routine oil and filter changes, for example, are crucial. The oil keeps all those moving parts in your engine lubricated while the filters catch the gunk that builds up over time. By staying on top of your service schedule, you’re helping to avoid expensive mechanical issues down the road.
Expert Car Servicing for German Vehicles At Volks Autos
At Volks Autos, an independent German car specialist located in Sutton, Surrey, we take servicing seriously. With over 180 years of combined workshop experience in VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda and VW Commercial vehicles, our brand-trained technicians are equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and technology. Your vehicle will be serviced according to the manufacturer’s specific intervals, all at a competitive price, without affecting your manufacturer’s warranty.
What’s the Difference Between Our Minor And Major Service?
The main difference between a Minor Service and a Major Service at Volks Autos is the additional filters we replace. These filters, such as the Air Filter, Pollen Filter, and Fuel Filter (for diesel vehicles) or Spark Plugs (for petrol vehicles) are recommended by manufacturers to be replaced at specific intervals to keep your vehicle in peak condition.
How Long Does A Service Take?
The amount of time needed to perform the service on your vehicle will depend on the age, model and type of service your vehicle requires. A minor service usually takes around 1.5 hours to complete, whereas a major service can take a few hours, due to the additional filters that are replaced. If you would like to wait whilst your service is completed, please ask our service team at time of booking for more information.
Do You Carry Out A Health Check On My Vehicle?
Absolutely. During your service, our brand-trained technicians will perform a thorough Health Check on your vehicle. This detailed inspection covers key aspects of your vehicle’s health. Our technicians can also send video reports directly to your phone, so you see exactly what our technicians see. This way, you’re fully informed about your vehicle’s condition.

Will You Reset The Service Light Once The Service Is Complete?
Yes, we will. We have all the necessary equipment to reset your service light and any variable service indicators after we’ve completed your service at Volks Autos.
My Vehicle Has A Digital Service Record, Can You Update This?
