Are Volkswagen certified pre-owned vehicles worth it? We think so, but to give you the full picture, here are a few reasons why this program stands out. Benefits of Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles Multipoint Inspection One of the best things you can do when buying a pre-owned car is to get it inspected before signing anything. And sure, you probably planned to do that already, but here's something most people don't think about: some places just send out whoever is available, so the whole thing ends up feeling like a box-ticking exercise. With a Volkswagen CPO car, though, that's not the case. These cars go through a comprehensive 100-plus point inspection by factory-trained and certified technicians. They check everything: how the engine runs, how the brakes stop, and even small details like time on the clock. Any necessary updates are done with genuine VW parts. When you drive off the lot, you can trust that every inch of your vehicle is truly up to Volkswagen's standards. more Model-Specific Warranty Coverage Volkswagen trusts the work done on every CPO car and backs it with a warranty tailored to the vehicle you're getting. If you're purchasing a ride that's six years old, you'll get a limited warranty lasting one year or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Choose a newer vehicle, and that number jumps to two years or 24,000 miles. If you're going electric, CPO EVs that are six years or newer come with an even stronger 3-year/36,000-mile warranty. Complementary CARFAX Vehicle History Vehicle If it's coming home with you, you should know exactly where it has been, and that's where the CARFAX report comes in. With this report, you'll get the full story up front: whether it's been in any accidents (and how severe the damage was), how many service records are on file, the number and type of previous owners (rental, lease, personal, or commercial), and the last reported odometer reading. Two Years of 24-Hour Road Assistance You've got places to be. And if anything throws you off course, your VW CPO car comes with two years of 24-hour road assistance to help with issues like a jump, flat tires, or towing to the nearest Volkswagen dealership. SiriusXM Platinum Plan Trial Subscription The included 3-month trial subscription to SiriusXM allows you to enjoy ad-free music, news, talk, comedy, and exclusive on-demand content like live performances, festivals, and celebrity interviews. And if you download the SiriusXM app, you can take your favorite stations anywhere. The value of CPO cars goes well beyond the attractive price tag. If you're ready to take advantage of all these benefits, visit us at Tom Bush Volkswagen in Jacksonville, FL, and explore our lineup of certified pre-owned vehicles.

Volkswagens are known for their exceptional German build quality and everyday practicality. However, as with any car, you need to maintain your VW with a certain amount of diligence. This Volkswagen maintenance schedule will ensure that your VW never lets you down. Don't Neglect Your Monthly Checks Some things require attention every month. Each fluid in your car, including the motor oil, must be checked; make sure no fluids are degrading, contaminated, or low. You should also inspect your headlights and all exterior lights, which are vital for road safety. Above all, check your tire pressure monthly, and also inspect each tire for signs of damage, uneven wear, or shallow treads. Book These Biannual Services Two times a year, your VW needs a few essential services with a trusted technician. Have your motor oil changed and tires rotated, aligned, and balanced at this time. Your brakes, exhaust system, and battery should all be inspected every six months. Also, wax your car and check your wiper blades, and replace them if necessary. All Cars Require Yearly Inspections more The air filters for the engine and cabin typically last about a year and should be replaced when clogging up. Also, have your suspension inspected and fine-tuned once a year. Your engine also needs to be tuned yearly. This should entail a careful examination of each spark plug and other important engine component. Have your cooling system pressure-tested, your fuel system inspected, and your transmission examined for signs of wear and leaks. All belts and hoses must also be checked at least yearly for fraying, cracks, and leaks. You can arrange all these inspections in one convenient visit with our VW technicians. Plan for the Longer-Term Upkeep Tasks Over the longer term, you'll need to replace your tires, which may last from four to six years. Your battery is likely to last about three to five years. Your brake's pads and rotors may last from two to five years. The engine's timing belt could last longer. Your coolant and brake fluid will probably need to be flushed every two or three years. The transmission and differential fluids tend to last a lot longer than this. One of the main purposes of all the inspections is to keep a close eye on these components and fluids, so they can be replaced in a timely way. Respond Quickly to Dashboard Warning Lights This maintenance routine will effectively protect and preserve your VW. In addition, adopt a quick-response attitude to signs of car trouble. Whenever you feel, see, hear, or smell something wrong, try to figure out the fault and ask a technician for help, rather than hoping the problem will go away on its own. If you put off repairs, a minor issue could grow into something much more hazardous and costly to fix. Allow us to arrange a comprehensive maintenance timetable for your VW. Visit Tom Bush Volkswagen in Jacksonville, FL, to get started. We've been keeping our customers' cars in terrific shape since 1970.

No one wants to spend more than strictly necessary on fuel but did you know that having your Volkswagen regularly serviced could improve your fuel efficiency? For more Volkswagen fuel efficiency tips, visit Tom Bush Volkswagen for advice you can trust. Fuel-Saving Tips for Volkswagen Drivers: Increased Efficiency Check Your Tires If you notice your fuel efficiency has recently reduced, your tires should be the first thing you look at. Underinflated tires can use more fuel due to an increase in the rolling resistance. This means the engine has to work harder, which burns more fuel in the process. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, it's possible to see a 3% improvement in fuel consumption when your tires are all properly inflated. more Clear Out the Clutter If you've got a busy life, it's easy to toss things in the trunk and forget about them. However, the more weight you are driving around, the more fuel you'll burn. By clearing out any clutter from your car and removing unnecessary cargo, you'll burn less fuel. This also applies to anything on your roof rack. Carrying cargo on your roof is a useful way to extend your storage space, but it can have a negative impact on fuel consumption, so remember to remove the items when they're not needed. Not only does the extra weight have an impact, but the increased drag resistance means your engine has to work harder. Schedule a Regular Service To operate at its best, your Volkswagen engine needs to be able to combust fuel efficiently and with minimum friction. Over time, both of these functions can be affected due to worn-out components or circulating debris. A service from professional technicians can replace your filters, spark plugs, and any other parts needed, as well as rotate your tires. This not only ensures optimal fuel consumption, but also prevents other damage to your engine. Select the Best Drive Mode Many modern Volkswagens have a choice of drive modes, including Eco. Selecting this mode adjusts the engine and climate control settings to optimize fuel consumption without significantly impacting overall performance. If you're driving on a highway, cruise control can help preserve fuel by maintaining a steady speed and minimizing unnecessary braking or acceleration. Consider Your Driving Habits Although technology can help you cut your fuel bill, your driving style also makes a difference. Some of the driving habits that can contribute to increased fuel consumption include: Heavy braking and acceleration Sharp swerving Multiple stop-starts Excessive idling By driving smoothly, using gravity to assist braking, and by applying a light, gradual touch to both acceleration and braking, you'll get more miles from every tank of fuel. If you think your Volkswagen is using too much fuel or you're simply overdue for a service, we can help. Contact us today at Tom Bush Volkswagen in Jacksonville, FL to speak to our friendly team.

Travel Assist leverages predictive adaptive cruise control with navigation data to refine vehicle steering, particularly in terms of maintaining a safe distance between your vehicle and the one ahead within your current pre-set speed limit. Travel Assist also functions well in jam-packed traffic. 4. Coming/Leaving Home Headlights The automatic headlights on your Jetta have a courtesy feature to light your path when you return home. The Coming Home feature turns on your headlights, license plate lighting, and other courtesy lights when you unlock your vehicle so you can sidestep puddles or step over curbs as you enter your vehicle.
