What to Expect When Getting Financing Through Your Volkswagen Dealer

Car financing can seem a complex and stressful process, but we don't think it should be. You can afford the car you want to finance, so we believe the process should be as fast and simple as possible. As your Volkswagen dealer, we want to tell you some of the ways we make choosing your new Volkswagen easy and stress-free. From Your Volkswagen Dealer: How We Make Financing Easier Easier Pre-Approval If you choose a bank for financing, you don't usually receive any assistance. You have to get your paperwork together, calculate what you want to spend, and complete your application. Then you have to visit the bank and wait. If they approve your application, you then have to visit your dealer to get your chosen vehicle's details and return to the bank to complete the application. We offer a much simpler process to save all this shoe leather. Our website has a handy pre-approval form that you can complete in the comfort of your home. It's only a few pages long, and once you're done, it just takes a single click to submit it to us. One of our finance team will contact you ASAP to discuss it. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Faster Response As we all know, banks don't generally move quickly to make decisions. They have set policies and procedures they must follow, and there's no way to speed up the process. Waiting for their decision is stressful, as they can refuse a loan, and you'll have to start the process again with a new bank or credit union. We don't think you should have to wait to enjoy your new Volkswagen, and neither do our credit providers. We submit your application to our wide network of state and local credit providers. They have a fast response time and will put forward their best offers. In addition, unlike a bank loan, loan terms, interest, and monthly repayments can be further negotiated with our providers. Online Application We know your time is valuable, and there never seem to be enough hours in the day. We offer an online buying option for your Volkswagen that allows you to buy the vehicle you want without needing to leave your home. Choose the vehicle that catches your eye from our website, then complete and submit your online application for pre-approval. One of our finance team will contact you to discuss your approval, and we'll forward your credit application to our credit providers immediately. We'll also give you a trade-in value for your present vehicle. You'll receive their finance offers by email, and you choose the deal that works best for you. Once you approve the final offer sheet, we can deliver your vehicle to your door. You complete the paperwork, and we hand over the keys.

VW Brake Services: Ensuring Your Safety on the Road

If you want to remain safe while out on the road, never neglect to service your car's brakes. Your number one defense against the risk of brake failure is regular maintenance. Here's what to expect during routine brake service at your local Volkswagen dealership. VW Brake Services: Ensuring Your Safety on the Road Inspection of Each Brake Component The key brake components in most vehicles are the brake pads, rotor discs, and calipers. The brake pads and rotors steadily wear down and should be examined frequently. If either component is excessively worn or damaged, it must be replaced. The technician will raise the vehicle to remove each wheel, caliper, rotor, and pad to conduct their inspection. You'll usually know when a brake pad is reaching the end of its life; when the friction layer is almost gone, brake pads are designed to emit a piercing squealing sound. Rotors tend to last longer than brake pads. When a rotor becomes scored or bent out of shape, you'll usually feel pulsating vibrations through the brake pedal and sometimes also the steering wheel. Brake Fluid Checked or Flushed During each inspection, the technician will also check your brake fluid. If the fluid is low, they'll search the brake lines for possible leaks. Any leaks will need to be repaired and the fluid topped up before your car is safe to drive again. Low or leaking brake fluid can reduce your car's stopping power as the pressurized brake fluid transfers the brake signal from the brake pedal to the braking mechanism at each wheel. If your brake fluid is ever low or leaking, you may feel a soft, spongy sensation in the brake pedal and your car's stopping distances might lengthen. As air and moisture can sometimes make their way into brake lines, the technician might also bleed your lines to get rid of these contaminants. Brake fluid usually needs to be flushed and replaced entirely every year or two. Lubrication Applied To the Calipers The piston seals and other moving parts in the brake calipers and wheel cylinders can be protected against wear and tear with lubrication. The technician may apply lubrication as required to increase the longevity of your brakes. It's best to leave this to a professional, as you wouldn't want to accidentally apply lubrication to a brake pad or rotor, which could reduce the friction required to stop your car. Visit Your Volkswagen Dealer Twice a Year for a Brake Inspection It's generally recommended to have brakes serviced twice a year. If your regular driving conditions or habits put excess strain on your car's brakes, consider having them serviced four times a year instead. Visit Demontrond VW in Houston, TX, today to have your brakes repaired and serviced by experienced professionals. We provide the drivers of Houston and the surrounding region with top-notch cars, deals, and customer care.

Ensuring a Smooth Ride: Wheel Alignment Services for Your VW

With a VW, you're getting a high-performance and luxury vehicle. In almost a century of making cars, VW has also developed a reputation for long-lasting durability. While every VW is built to last, you have a part to play in getting the most out of your car by bringing it in for regular maintenance at your VW dealer. Getting your wheel alignment checked and serviced is an important part of keeping your vehicle at peak performance. Ensuring a Smooth Ride: Wheel Alignment Services for Your VW Alignment refers to the angle at which your tires sit on your vehicle. Properly aligned tires are parallel to each other and sit squarely on the ground, meeting VW's precise specifications. With correct alignment, your vehicle moves directly forward when you're driving on a straight, without any drift to the left or right. In the past, the alignment of the front two tires was considered the most important. With today's high-performance vehicles, all four tires should be properly aligned. Why Is Alignment Important? Misaligned tires may seem like a small issue, but they can quickly have a meaningful impact on your driving experience and the performance of your car. If your tires are out of alignment, they may wear more quickly or unevenly, compounding alignment issues. Proper alignment can also impact handling, fuel efficiency, and even your safety. Most noticeably, misaligned tires may cause your vehicle to pull to the left or right when driving. Many VW drivers may like to manage some basic maintenance themselves, such as changing the oil. However, correct alignment requires precise tools and trained technicians, like those you'll find at your VW service department. Due to the precision required in proper alignment, it's best to bring your vehicle in to an authorized VW service center when it's time to have it checked. When Should I Have It Checked by a VW Dealer? Alignment should be part of your regular maintenance plan. Unfortunately, even the most precise alignment will eventually drift out of true. As a result, it's a good idea to bring your vehicle in every six months or 6,000 miles. However, there are a few signs that your alignment needs to be checked, even if you're between regular service visits. Steering pulls to the left or right You've just gotten new tires Collisions or impacts - even running hard into a curb Uneven wear on tire treads Service or repair to steering and suspension Your vehicle's alignment will be assessed as part of the multi-point inspection process performed every time you bring your VW into an authorized service center, free of charge. Catching a small problem like misaligned wheels now can prevent more serious and expensive problems down the road. Schedule a service appointment with Demontrond VW in Houston, TX today.

The Ongoing Benefits of Warranty Forever at DeMontrond VW

The standard VW warranty covers new vehicles for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Those who travel a lot can reach the 50,000-mile threshold fast, meaning they will have to pay for any repairs out of their pockets. This is where DeMontrond Volkswagen's Warranty Forever steps in, providing carefree coverage for as long as you own the vehicle, regardless of how many miles you drive.

They are also some of the most expensive parts to replace or repair if broken. DeMontrond's Warranty Forever covers all major powertrain components, including the engine, transmission, and drive assembly, giving you peace of mind against unexpected major repair costs. Coverage for Both Parts and Labor Most extended warranties cover the parts only, meaning the vehicle's owner would still have to cover labor costs. Deductibles, which are money you must pay before the warranty kicks in, are also common. However, this isn't the case with Warranty Forever. DeMontrond's straightforward warranty fully covers the costs of both parts and labor. The auto group doesn't charge a deductible, so drivers won't have to worry about any unexpected expenses. Minimal Requirements This warranty is offered for all qualifying vehicles and to qualify for a claim, the only requirement is to perform the customary maintenance outlined in the Warranty Forever agreement. An administrator and your selling dealer will assist you in scheduling and keeping records of all performed maintenance work for a smooth claiming process. Increased Vehicle Resale Value Doing maintenance on time and fixing any breakages as they occur is the only way to slow down a vehicle's depreciation. Under the Warranty Forever agreement, vehicle owners must perform customary maintenance and keep records of it. These records are linked to the vehicle's identification number and are easy to check by potential buyers, should you decide to sell the vehicle. In this way, this warranty provides long-term benefits by helping you sell the vehicle at an enhanced value compared to the same vehicle without maintenance records. Want to know more about Warranty Forever and what it covers? Contact us at DeMontrond Volkswagen in Houston, TX and we will be here to answer any questions you might have.
