Volkswagen van owners can take their commercial vehicles to VW’s van service centres for a free winter health check.
Up until 28th February 2015 owners of the VW Caddy, Crafter and Transporter vehicles are eligible for a 29-point check involving the battery, lights, wipers and tyres – plus a number of visual checks.

Kevin Rendell, Head of Service and Parts at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles UK says, "Ensuring your vehicle is safe for the roads throughout winter is extremely important to prevent accidents and breakdowns.

"We are providing these free checks as a preventative measure as minimising downtime is crucial for our customers."

According to a survey undertaken by Auto Express more than 30 per cent of British drivers do nothing to prepare their vehicle for winter. This figure is verified by breakdown cover providers, who typically see an increase in callouts over the winter months.

So, thanks to Volkswagen, if you own one of their commercial vehicles you can get a free winter health check-up to ensure that your vehicle is in tip-top condition for the colder months.

Consider it an early Christmas present!
