Interesting Facts About Volkswagen

Volkswagen means the “People’s Car” in German and was founded in 1937 to make car ownership accessible to everyday drivers. Its first and most iconic creation, the VW Beetle, became one of the best-selling cars in history.

Today, Volkswagen is one of the largest automotive groups in the world. In fact, VW Group now owns several well-known brands, including Audi, SEAT, Škoda, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti.

So whether you’re driving a classic Golf GTI or a modern electric ID.4, your VW sits at the heart of a globally respected network of precision engineering and innovation—and Elite Garages is here to help you keep it running at its best.

Our VW Service Options

VW MOT Testing

Every VW over three years old must pass an annual MOT. We inspect critical components like brakes, emissions, lights, and suspension—ensuring your car meets all UK safety standards. Our technicians are familiar with common MOT issues found in models like the Passat, Golf, and Touran, and we’ll give honest advice if any repairs are needed.

VW Diagnostics & Repairs

Modern VWs are equipped with smart onboard systems to detect and alert you to problems. Whether it’s a check engine light, emissions fault, or DPF warning, we’ll plug in our diagnostic equipment and pinpoint the issue. Repairs are carried out quickly and professionally using manufacturer-grade parts.

VW Brake Replacement

If your brakes are noisy, spongy, or you notice longer stopping distances, it’s time for a check. We inspect pads, discs, and brake fluid levels—especially important on heavier models like the VW Tiguan or Transporter. Our technicians will ensure your braking system is safe and responsive. Need new brake pads or brake discs? Book your brake replacement service now.

VW Tyres & Wheel Alignment

We supply a wide range of VW-approved tyres from trusted brands like Michelin, Continental, and Pirelli. We also offer precision wheel alignment using digital systems, ideal if you’ve hit a pothole or are noticing uneven tyre wear or off-centre steering. Not having your wheels aligned regularly can lead to poor handling, increased fuel consumption and uneven tyre wear. Book your VW in for a wheel alignment service with us today.

VW Battery Replacement

From start/stop tech to heated seats and electric windows, modern VWs rely on a strong battery. If your car struggles to start or the electronics seem slow, we’ll test and replace the battery with one that matches VW specifications—coded where needed to ensure full compatibility. If you need a new battery for your VW, Elite Garages can help!

VW Cambelt or Timing Chain Checks

Volkswagen engines may use a cambelt (timing belt) or a timing chain, depending on the model and engine variant. If your car has a cambelt, it may need replacing around 60,000–100,000 miles. We can check your system, look for signs of wear, and advise on next steps. Whichever your VW may need, our team is ready to assist with your cambelt replacement service.

VW Exhaust & Emissions Checks

Unusual noises, poor fuel economy, or excess smoke from your exhaust? These symptoms could point to a leak or damaged component. We run emissions tests and check the full exhaust system—replacing any faulty sections with parts suited to your VW’s engine type. If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it may be time for a new exhaust.

VW Air Conditioning Regas Services

Stay cool year-round with our full range of aircon services. We offer re-gassing, leak checks, antibacterial system cleans, and cabin filter replacements. Whether your A/C isn’t blowing cold or just needs a refresh, we’ve got it covered. Book your Aircon service with us here.

VW Clutch Repairs & Replacement

If you’re finding it hard to change gears or feel the clutch slipping or vibrating, your VW might need a new clutch. We’ll assess wear levels and install a quality replacement that matches your model’s performance needs.
