Why Choose Cedar Garage for Your VW Service?
Volkswagens are built to cover big miles with little fuss, but they rely on the right maintenance at the right time. As an independent VW specialist, we look after the whole range, from the up!, Polo and Golf, including GTI and R models, to the T-Cross, T-Roc, Tiguan, Touran, Passat and Arteon, along with ID. electric models, plug-in hybrids and VW vans such as the Transporter, Caddy and Crafter. We know the items that are easy to miss at service time: the oil and filter change due on wet-clutch DSG gearboxes, the Haldex coupling oil on 4MOTION four-wheel drive models, the timing belt on TDI and many TSI engines, and the AdBlue and DPF systems on modern diesels.
Our state-of-the-art workshop on Rectory Farm Road, Sompting, has the same level of diagnostic equipment as the dealers, and we never add work your car doesn't need. When your VW service is complete, we reset the service indicator, update your digital service record and talk you through anything we've found, so you can plan ahead rather than be caught out by an unexpected repair bill.
What's Included in a VW Service?
Every Volkswagen service is matched to your model, engine, mileage and whether it's on a fixed or LongLife schedule. From an oil service to a full inspection, these are some of the key areas our technicians check, replace and top up.
Brake fluid & brakes
Lights & service reset
Oil, filters & DPF
Tyres & wheels

Other VW Services We Specialise In
A regular service keeps your Volkswagen running the way it should. Our other VW services make sure it stays safe, legal and performing at its best.
DVSA-Approved Testing
VW MOT
Our DVSA-approved testers carry out MOTs on Volkswagens every week. Book your MOT at the same time as your service and we'll take care of both in one visit, saving you a second trip.
Warning Lights
VW Fault Finding
A glow plug or engine management light, a DSG gearbox warning or an AdBlue message shouldn't be ignored. Using VW-specific diagnostic equipment and manufacturer technical data, we find the real cause rather than replacing parts on a guess.
Dealer-Level Fixes
VW Repairs
If your service uncovers a problem, from brakes and suspension to timing belts, DSG gearboxes, clutches and electrical faults, our technicians repair it to main dealer standard using the right parts for your exact Volkswagen.

Frequently Asked Questions
VW Servicing FAQs
Should my VW be on a fixed or LongLife service schedule?
Fixed servicing, usually every year, suits short trips and town driving. LongLife servicing lets the car work out when it's due, which suits longer journeys. We can help you choose.
What's the difference between a VW oil service and an inspection service?
An oil service covers the oil and filter plus safety checks. An inspection service is a more thorough check of the whole car. Your dashboard shows which is due, and we'll confirm before any work starts.
Can you service my VW while it's under warranty?
Yes. Servicing your VW with us won't affect its warranty, as we follow VW's schedule and use the right parts. We'll update your digital service record too.
Can you update my VW's digital service history?
Yes. We update your VW's digital service record as soon as your service is done, so its history stays complete.
How often does my VW's DSG gearbox need servicing?
It depends on the type of gearbox, as some need regular oil changes and others don't. We'll check which you have and let you know if it's due.
Does my VW 4MOTION need any extra servicing?
Yes. Four-wheel drive VWs need some extra oil changes at set intervals to keep the system working properly. We'll check your car's history and let you know when it's due.
When is the timing belt due on my VW?
It depends on the engine, as some VWs have a timing belt and others have a chain. Give us your registration and we'll tell you exactly when yours is due.
Can you service an electric or plug-in hybrid VW?
Yes. Electric and hybrid VWs still need regular servicing, including the brakes, tyres, suspension and cabin filter, and we'll update the digital service record.
Do you service VW vans?
Yes. We service Volkswagen vans including the Transporter, Caddy and Crafter. Ask about collection and delivery or a hire car while it's with us.
Can I wait while you service my VW?
Of course. Relax with free Wi-Fi and a hot drink, and we can order you some food too. If you'd rather not wait, we can arrange collection and delivery or an automatic or manual hire car.
