I have had to use this service once, when the oil sump of my car was fractured, and the car ran out of oil. I phoned the freephone number, who arranged for the car to be taken 180 miles from Bath back to Yorkshire where I was living. The transporter arrived in a little under an hour. The car was then collected the following morning and taken to the VW dealer near my home to be repaired. The service was very good and curteous.
At the price, I thik VW assistance is a bargain, and anyone with a VW car will foind this cover a lot more affordable, but just as comprehensive as the bigger players such as AA and RAC.
Advantages: Helpful, quick Disadvantages: None that I know
...long ago I bought another Volkswagen Bora. Included in the sale was a years free service / warranty and 1 year with Volkswagen Emergency assistance.
At the time I was not to bothered about the Emergency Assistance as I was already a member of the AA.
Not caring I paid up, took the car and went home.
About 6 months later I made the drive to my parents house. On returning I noticed a petrol / oil mark in the drive. Shortly after I also noticed that ... ...40 mile journey.
On closer inspection I found that the fuel filter had sprung a leak. Ahhhhh, and was still leaking on the drive.
I decided to phone the AA but then remembered I had cancelled my Home start as I thought it was to expensive. I then remembered that little silver VW Emergency card. On phoning VW assistance you are greeted by a friendly service asking you the usual details of when, where and why. I explained the problem and that I was ...

Advantages: Highly skilled, dedicated to VW. Excellent service! Disadvantages: none!
I purchased a VW Golf in 2002. At the time, I was not aware that it came with the "VW Assistance", VW's very own AA type service. Anyway on a long journey, one of the warning lights came on so I reached for the manual! From the manual, I discovered I could call VW assistance. Within the hour, a dedicated VW technician arrived, and within 1minute diagnosed the problem. Being dedicated to VW, he had seen the problem before so diagnosis did not take ... ...spare part and within 5 minutes I was on my way!
The second time, another warning light appeared (the boot light), and the alarm would start ringing intermittently. I called VW assistance again, and yet again withint the hour a technician arrived who diagnosed the problem without removing the casing, apparently another common fault on my type of car.. The lock required changing, but he did not have a lock on board. He disconnnected the sensor to ...

Germans just do some things very well, and Volkswagen is one of those, these cars are as solid as tanks, feel cery safe, are reasonably priced and look good and the name speaks for itself - Peoplescar!
I drive a Golf IV, and have never had a problem with it, now I know that some volkswagen drivers must have problems so then we turn to the VW gargaes and services that they offer.
They offer an Emergencyassistance should you break down which has proven to be efficient and is reasonbly priced at £50/annum.
VW has regurlarly been acclaimed as best car manufacturer (WhatCar? 2001) and regurlarly win awards for their design (Family Car Awards 2002).
