Frequently Asked Questions

VW Servicing & Repair FAQs

Why is the EPC light on in my Volkswagen?

The EPC light means your VW has spotted a fault that can affect engine power. If the car feels sluggish, avoid long journeys and book in for VW fault finding.

How often does a DSG gearbox need servicing?

It depends on the type of gearbox, as some need regular oil changes and others don't. Call us with your registration and we'll tell you what your VW needs.

Why is my Volkswagen losing coolant?

A coolant level that keeps dropping usually means there's a leak. Don't ignore it, as overheating can damage the engine. Book in and we'll find the leak and fix it.

Do you work on VW Transporters and California campers?

Yes. We service, MOT and repair Volkswagen vans and California campers, and we'll get yours back on the road quickly.

Do you service and MOT electric and hybrid Volkswagens?

Yes. We service and MOT electric and hybrid VWs and carry out everyday repairs such as brakes and suspension, as well as high-voltage repairs. We don’t strip down high-voltage battery packs in house. Find out more about our electric and hybrid vehicle repairs.

Why choose a VW specialist instead of a main dealer?

You get dealer-level equipment and care, with a team who know you and your car, clear advice with no pressure, and collection and delivery and hire cars available.

Will servicing my Volkswagen with you affect the warranty?

No. Servicing your VW with us won't affect its warranty, as we follow Volkswagen's schedule and use the right parts.

Took my Tesla Model 3 to Cedar Garage on Tarring Road after an aftermarket body kit's rear diffuser brake light caused hyper-flashing when braking and indicating. Jake was fantastic-he diagnosed the wiring issue quickly and had it sorted on the spot. I was back on the road in under an hour with everything working flawlessly. Jake is a top bloke: friendly, informative, and skilled. Outstanding service!
