Volkswagen Repair in Duluth, Georgia

Keeping Your Beloved VW in Good Repair

The People’s Repair Shop for The People’s Car

No matter the age of the Volkswagen you drive, you likely know that the manufacturer’s name translates from German into English as “The People’s Car.” That’s because the first VW’s designed were basic, affordable transportation that was reliable yet affordable to most families. These cars have come a long way since their development in the 1930s, but they all need occasional repair no matter the year model. At Eurofed Automotive in Duluth, Georgia, we want to be “The People’s Repair Shop ” for Volkswagens. In keeping with that original intended meaning, we offer reliable repairs that allow you to save both time and money because we are an alternative to the dealership’s garage. We’re easy to reach at one of our 19 locations. Stop by, use our online scheduling tool, or call us at (678) 878-3522 to arrange a service or repair visit for your Volkswagen.

Most Common Repairs

All autos need repair from time to time, but some are more dominant than others. The best way to avoid costly repairs is by keeping up with routine preventive maintenance service visits for basic repairs and maintenance. For Volkswagen owners, five issues appear more often than others.

One of these is a safety concern, so we’ll discuss it first. If your airbag malfunction warning lamp illuminates, don’t delay checking your car. While we certainly hope you’re not involved in a crash, you need to know that your airbags are in proper working order and will deploy in an emergency. When the airbag and indicator is a problem, it often presents itself near the 100,000-mile mark.

Another light that may get your attention is the check engine warning. This is not an emergency, and you can drive your Volkswagen to reach our shop. We can obtain a trouble code using our OBD-II reader and our expertise to pinpoint the exact problem so that we can fix it for you. This may be as simple as a loose gas cap or as complex as a part that needs replacing.

Like the airbag indicator, the wiring harness sometimes goes bad after about 100,000 miles of driving. This occurs more frequently in the Jetta than in other models.

Coil failure, too, can be an issue, especially in Passats that have reached 75,000 miles. If you suspect a problem, let us address it before discovering that your auto won’t start.

Finally, resist the temptation to stretch out your time between oil changes. Follow the recommended service pattern. This is best practice because oil sludge buildup makes the list of most common reasons Volkswagen owners seek car repair. Allowing the oil to lose its properties and form sludge multiple times can trigger this problem, typically between 70,000 and 90,000 miles.
