When the cold weather starts moving in, you can come to Volks Affair to get prepared. We’ll take care of every aspect of your vehicle – from cleaning the windows to assessing your tyres and checking the suspension and steering. Our services will give you the peace of mind you need to drive confidently throughout the winter.
Optimising vision
Rain, sleet and grey skies can seriously reduce visibility. For maximum safety and comfort while driving, it’s important to do everything you can to see better. Driving through terrible weather is bad enough – adding dirty windows to the mix is even worse. Here at Volks Affair, we’ll give your windows a clean to end all cleans. Both the inside and outside of the glass will be washed, with meticulous attention to detail.
Assessing your tyres
Driving with bald or worn-out tyres is incredibly dangerous at any time of year. But it’s even more treacherous when winter rolls around, making the roads icy and slippery. The good news is that if you bring your vehicle into Volks Affair before the cold weather hits, we’ll assess your tyres accurately and let you know exactly what state they’re in. If it turns your tyres are ready for changing, we can organise an excellent deal on new ones.
Checking suspension and steering
Responsive steering and optimum suspension levels are also crucial to safety during inclement weather. When there’s a risk of ice, rain or snow, you must feel 100% confident that you’re in control of your vehicle at all times. We’ll give your suspension a thorough and accurate assessment and fix up any problems. We’ll also make sure that your steering column is in good working order.

Independent car servicing
When you buy a new car you want to keep it looking and running like new for as long as possible. Thankfully, all new cars will come with some form of manufacturer’s warranty to cover you for any problems with the vehicle for a set period or mileage. However, you do not have to complete your log book servicing at the dealer where you purchased your vehicle.
So are there any downsides to using an independent business to service your vehicle? You may already be taking your car back to the dealer because you believe they are the only ones who can keep your warranty valid. This is completely untrue. You only have to make sure your independent automotive repair shop offers full manufacturers scheduled servicing for your make and model.
When it comes to having your Volkswagen serviced, Volks Affair will take care of every single detail, paying close attention to the manufacturer’s instructions. And then we’ll go the extra mile, making sure that your vehicle performs at an optimum level at all times.
Individual attention
All Volkswagens are treated with extra special care, receiving servicing schedules that are determined on an individual basis. Because each vehicle is such a valuable asset, a range of factors are taken into consideration, including model, mileage, age and history. This approach assures the best possible outcome.
Premium quality parts
We insist on the use of recommended, premium quality parts. This gives you peace of mind, as you can feel totally confident that any repairs and replacements are made with your particular vehicle in mind.
Excellent customer service
Our staff members work with you every step of the way – from the moment you call us up to ask a question, to the moment you drive your beautifully serviced vehicle off our premises. They’re some of the most passionate, meticulous employees you’ll ever meet.
