Owning a VW 
warrants a good time

A little coverage goes a long way. The right coverage goes even further. That’s why we offer a full 4-year/80,000 km* limited warranty on every new vehicle, a 5-year/100,000 km powertrain limited warranty, and 2-year unlimited kilometre coverage on Volkswagen parts when we service your VW.**

*Whichever occurs first

**A limited warranty of 2 years, with no kilometre limit, applies when parts and accessories are ordered and installed after the purchase or lease of your vehicle. Parts and accessories must be sold and installed by a Canadian Volkswagen dealer to qualify for both parts and labour coverage. Labour coverage is exclusive for parts and accessories installed by a Canadian Volkswagen dealer.
