Volkswagen’s name resonates with quality and innovation. The German automaker is not just known for producing high-performing vehicles, but also for standing firmly behind their craftsmanship. This belief in their product has given rise to their exceptional Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty programs: the Assurance Program and the Premium Assurance Program. Let’s take a drive through these offerings, so you can hit the road with confidence.
The Two-Tiered Assurance: Basic vs Premium
Assurance Program
- Warranty: Buyers enjoy the remaining new-vehicle limited warranty.
- Roadside Assistance: A 6-month coverage ensures you're never stranded.
- Entertainment: 3 months of SiriusXM satellite radio to make your rides melodious.
- Peace of Mind: A CARFAX vehicle history report, offering transparency about your vehicle's past.
Premium Assurance Program
- Warranty: All benefits of the Assurance Program, with an added 2-year/40,000 km limited extended warranty.
- Roadside Assistance: Extended coverage for 2 years/40,000 km.
- Entertainment & Transparency: Similar SiriusXM and CARFAX benefits as the Assurance Program.
More Than Just Assurance: Warranties Galore!
Volkswagen Parts Warranty: All Volkswagen Parts come with a 2-year/unlimited-kilometre limited warranty from the purchase date. Some parts, like batteries, carry an even longer warranty. And for those keen on longer-term value, VW's Lifetime Brake Pad replacement program is a must. After the first expert VW brake pad and disc replacement service, VW will cover the cost of genuine VW brake pads for the lifetime of the vehicle.
Accessories Warranty: Accessories, when bought during a new vehicle purchase, are covered for a solid 4 years/80,000 km. If purchased later but within the new-vehicle limited warranty period, they benefit from a 2-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty. And for those opting for the Premium Assurance Program, there's a bonus - accessories get a 2-year/40,000 km CPO limited warranty extension.
Battery Warranty: A testament to their quality, Volkswagen batteries come with a robust 3-year/unlimited-kilometre limited warranty. And VW's support doesn’t end there. For the subsequent two years, Volkswagen will bear a prorated percentage of the battery replacement cost.
On the Road and in Trouble? VW's Got Your Back!
Whether you’re navigating the vast Canadian landscapes or the tight urban grids, Volkswagen's 24/7 Roadside Assistance ensures you're not left in the lurch. From battery jump starts, flat-tire service, lock-out situations, or even an emergency fuel requirement - VW is just a call away at 1-800-411-6688. And in the less fortunate event of an accident, VW promises free accident towing to a Volkswagen Certified Collision Repair Facility for vehicles up to 15 years old.
Final Thoughts
In the automotive jungle, peace of mind and reliability often come at a premium. Volkswagen's CPO programs challenge this notion. They don't just sell you a vehicle; they sell you a promise, an assurance, and a lifelong commitment.
