Safety:
Regular servicing is an opportunity to catch faults early, saving you the time and money of major repairs or even an accident, as well as ensuring your safety.

How do I know when my VW service is due?

Most modern vehicles are equipped with a service indicator on the dashboard that will inform you of when your service is due. Your servicing schedule is based on the usage of your VW. For our clients, we would usually recommend:

  • An interim service every 6 months or 6,000 miles
  • A full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles
  • A major service every 24 months or 24,000 miles

If you do not have the service book to confirm previous service intervals, our team will be happy to help.

    I started to use D&D when I bought my used car as recommended by the previous owner. I couldn't be pleased anymore. As I work in Ashford, it is very convenient to drop the car by 8, get a lift by their shuttle bus wherever I picked up when my car us ready. Their service is excellent. Prices are reasonable. And the voucher they post with the MOT reminder is an extra positive.

    D&D Autos were very accommodating with an urgent MOT issue. I had previously been to Halfords for an MOT which failed and they were unhelpful in trying to resolve the issue. D&D was recommended by a friend and they kindly agreed to investigate on an urgent basis. They reset the lambda sensor, MOTd the vehicle - job done. The staff were courteous and kept me informed of progress. Would... Read More

    Great garage, with knowledgeable staff.
    So popular that it can take four weeks to get a repair slot, but worth the wait (if the fault is not serious)
    Will definately use again.

    Originally had service and MOT at the end of April this year. Today I noticed there was a problem with my air filter box and rang to raise my concern.

  • Lynne Heath

    15th June 2022

    Very impressed. New engine after timing chain failed, had other bits done at same time. It took quite a long time but was a huge job and I was kept up to date with progress calls. No issues at all after collection, absolutely perfect. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and I wanted a top job. Would recommend.

  • Linda Ellen (Pickle)

    16th May 2022

    From the booking of the MOT to the final bill, the service, not just for my car, but for me as a customer, was excellent. I felt valued as a customer. The facilities for waiting were very comfortable. The polite and amicable nature of the staff, so refreshing. Thanks guys.

  • Alan Frederick Taylor

    Having moved into the area recently I was recommended to D & D by a neighbour. I have used them twice now and am hugely impressed by their excellent customer service and helpful staff. Their free local drop off/pick up service is also a great touch especially for one-car families like ours and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
