We think it is better that way.

your car. Rather than while he is working on your car.

Every so often he takes time off and gets a refresher course at
one of our VW training centers.

A VW Specialist works on VW’s. Period.

In any authorized VW dealer’s service department, you
get VW Specialists who know VW’s intimately.
