Volkswagon Service

What is included in a Volkswagon service?

Whenever you book a Volkswagen service with Lube Mobile, our mechanics will service your car according to exactly what is listed in your logbook. The specifics of your service will depend on the model of Volkswagen you have and if the vehicle is still under its warranty period. For a warranty service, you can check your logbook for the specifics of what needs to be looked at, and Lube Mobile will adhere to these guidelines.

For any Volkswagon no longer under warranty a standard service should be completed at least once per year. This yearly Volkswagon service will include:

• Changing the engine oils and filters

• Under bonnet check and fluids top up

• A safety inspection, including the braking systems

• Inspection of the charging and cooling systems

For your convenience, Lube Mobile have have vans operating all over Australia. In fact, because our mobile mechanics provide mobile service and repairs all over Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin and many other locations, you can always consider us your 'mobile mechanic near me.' 

How much does a Volkswagon service cost?

The cost of a Volkswagen service can depend on many different factors. For example, the service for a Golf or Polo will differ from that of a Caravelle or an Amarok. This is due to the difference in engine size and what specific items need to be replaced during the service.

At Lube Mobile, we will inform you of the price of your service when you book in. If you need further information about the costs of your service you can call our customer service team on 13 30 32.

When should I service my Volkswagon?

If your vehicle is still within its warranty period then you should be following the service guide as laid out inside your logbook. A Volkswagen service needs to be completed in line with what has been set out so you can maintain your warranty. For very new cars you may find that the first service is completed very early in the car's life. After that first service, it is common for a car to be serviced around every 10,000km. At Lube Mobile, we can provide warranty services on your Volkswagen. All of our vans are operated by a highly skilled mechanic and they are fully aware of the needs of your vehicle when performing a warranty service.

After your car has passed the warranty period, you are free to decide how often your car gets serviced. At Lube Mobile, we recommend getting it serviced at least once per year. For most people in Australia, this translates to getting it serviced between 10,000 - 20,000km. Beyond the annual servicing, we’d recommend having further work completed during your service at the three-year and six-year mark. This is because lubricants can become less effective at different rates of use. Getting your car regularly serviced with the same mechanic is an easy way to keep track of what your car requires and is the best way to make sure that everything is being taken care of properly.

How can I check my Volkswagon service history?

At Lube Mobile, we can keep track of your Volkswagen service history, and we can provide that to you. This can be perfect if you are considering upgrading your Volkswagen to a newer model. Another way to check your service history is to have a look at your logbooks. All Volkswagens will have a logbook, most people will keep these in the glovebox as that’s the most convenient location.

If you have recently purchased the vehicle and can’t find a logbook and it has not been serviced by Lube Mobile, you can check for a service sticker. These are often placed in the top right corner of the windscreen. If the sticker has a phone number for the mechanic that last serviced the car, you can call that and ask if they can provide you with a service history. However, if the previous owner has not gone to the same mechanic, then getting a service history may be difficult, bordering on impossible.
