Does Volkswagen recommend an oil change?
Each model and year is a little different, so the owner’s manual and the vehicle service reminder indicator are your best bet. Most newer VW vehicles use synthetic oil and don’t require a change as often as older vehicles, but extreme stop-and-go driving or short trips to the store can still take a toll. Bring your vehicle by the Olathe service department, and we’ll see if it’s time for an oil change.
Is it necessary to take my VW to the dealership for service in order to maintain the warranty?
Usually, no. You don’t have to have your vehicle serviced at the dealership to maintain your warranty. It’s important the work gets done when it’s due, and you have proof that it did. We’re proud to be of service—many of our clients prefer to bring their vehicles in because we see Volkswagens constantly, and your service history is all in one place. We can tell you about your warranty.
What type of Kansan weather does my car have to deal with?
We experience all four seasons here, and our weather can be rough on a car. Winter makes the batteries and tires work harder, and the cold can make tires lose pressure. Spring showers mean potholes which can set your alignment out of whack. The extreme summer heat is hard on batteries, tires and coolant. We recommend a battery test and a check of your tires before winter, and if you’ve hit some rough roads and your steering pulls, an alignment check to ensure you hit the road with a smooth steering response.
What does my check engine light mean and can I continue driving?
Your Check Engine Light Could Indicate Anything from a Loose Gas Cap to a sensor problem or emissions problem. If the light is on steady, you may be okay to take a short trip but should have it looked at as soon as possible. If the light is flashing or if your car is struggling or sluggish, safely pull to the side of the road and give us a call. We will read the diagnostic codes and take a look, explaining what we discover before any repairs are made.
How do I know when my brake, tire or transmission is due for service?
Come in for transmissions. If your brakes squeal or grind, your pedal feels too soft, you notice uneven tire wear, or your car shudders or hesitates when shifting, don’t wait for a scheduled service. Several newer VW models – even ones with a dual-clutch automatic – need to have their transmissions serviced at certain intervals, so ask us or consult your owner’s manual. Schedule a transmission service at Bud Brown VW online or over the phone today.
