"I had an excellent experience at Southwest Auto. It’s been very hard to find a mechanic to work on my old Saab, so I found Jon. He did a thorough diagnostic, emailed me the results, and had me approve the work. It took some time to source parts, but Jon Came through. My car not only made the 200+ mile ride home, it’s running great. Very thankful his shop was recommended."

"I highly recommend Southwest auto for your vehicle repair. Recently, they handled my transmission leak on a 3500 Mercedes Diesel Sprinter Van/Camper. They were efficient, fairly priced, and Cory at the front desk was very communicative during the repair process. They handled the warrantee coverage for me and got me back on the road quickly. I cannot say enough how pleased I was with the service they provided."

If your Volkswagen's check engine light comes on, it’s important not to ignore it. This light can indicate a range of issues, from minor problems like a loose gas cap to more serious engine or emissions system concerns. If you bring it to Southwest Auto, a certified technician can use an ODIS scanner to read the fault codes and determine the underlying issue, allowing for timely repairs.
Yes, turbocharged engines in Volkswagen vehicles do have some specific maintenance needs. Make sure to use high-quality synthetic oil that meets VW specifications, as this helps maintain optimal performance and longevity of the turbocharger. Oil changes are particularly important, as the oil lubricates both the engine and the turbo. Additionally, monitoring the intercooler and intake system for any leaks or blockages can help ensure your turbocharged engine operates efficiently.
To improve the fuel efficiency of your Volkswagen, get timely oil changes, air filter replacements, and tire rotations. Ensuring that your tires are properly inflated can also make a significant difference. Additionally, driving habits play a role; smooth acceleration and deceleration, avoiding excessive idling, and reducing weight in the vehicle can all enhance fuel efficiency.
