New Volkswagen vehicles come with scheduled maintenance intervals outlined in your owner's manual. Early maintenance typically includes oil and filter changes, fluid checks, and inspections to ensure everything is working perfectly. Following the manufacturer's schedule keeps your warranty valid and protects your investment. Many items are covered under your vehicle's warranty during the first few years or miles, so don't skip appointments-use them while you can. Castle Volkswagen of Downers Grove's Service team knows the exact maintenance schedule for every Volkswagen model and can set you up for success from day one. We'll remind you when service is due and keep detailed records of all work. For a complete maintenance overview and to schedule your first service, call (630) 598-9986.
