When it comes to vehicle maintenance, many drivers think "service" just means an oil change. While keeping your oil fresh is vital, maintaining a German-engineered machine like your Volkswagen requires a deeper level of care, expertise, and precision.
At Northtowne Volkswagen, your local VW dealership in Kansas City, MO, our certified service center offers a comprehensive experience that goes far beyond the basic lube shop. Here’s a closer look at what true, certified Volkswagen service entails and why it protects your investment.
