Repairs & Maintenance to Keep Your Volkswagen on the Road

Popular in America since the introduction of the Beetle in the 1950s, Volkswagen has a reputation for crafting vehicles that offer refined handling and upscale accommodations. Volkswagen has continuously introduced new vehicles to its lineup, keeping the brand fresh and relevant, with everything from roomy SUVs to diesel convertibles. At Tom's Automotive, we work on all Volkswagen models, including:

At Tom's Automotive, we know Volkswagen vehicles just as well as the Volkswagen dealerships. Our technicians stay up-to-date on the latest Volkswagen technology and features to ensure we can take care of your vehicle whether you need an oil change or engine replacement. If you live in the Fitchburg area, we hope you’ll count on us to keep your Volkswagen performing at its best.

If any warning lights display on your Volkswagen vehicle, you should head to an auto repair shop as soon as possible (at a minimum within the next 600 miles). Generally, your motor oil and filter must be changed at least once a year, and this may be the culprit. However, if you’re driving in optimal conditions, your vehicle might not indicate the need for vehicle service for more than a year. At Tom's Automotive, our trained technicians can accurately determine when your Volkswagen needs maintenance, exactly when and not before or after it’s necessary.

The brake pads on your Volkswagen vehicle are equipped with wear indicators that will produce a squealing noise when the brakes are almost worn out. The noise will start when there is about 2 mm of brake pad friction remaining, which is when brake pads need to be replaced. If you are hearing this noise, your brake pads should be replaced as soon as possible. (The noise may be present even when you’re not applying the brake pedal.) At Tom's Automotive, we can help with all your Volkswagen service needs.
