Wise up with winter coming says Monaco VW

Monaco Entrance landscapeTracing back to its business origins in 1954 Monaco VW is not only the oldest VW garage on the UK network but we think it’s one of London’s most beautiful too.

And a member of FOXY’s female friendly car dealer network to boot!

We all know that with age comes wisdom of course which is why Monaco VW knows to offer its customers a comprehensive Winter Car Care Check at this time of year.

Theirs costs £29.99 and includes a technical inspection of tyres, battery, brakes, lights and fluid levels. If repairs are needed, Monaco technicians are on hand to assist and any looming concerns will be noted for future attention as part of Monaco’s unique vehicle management service.

Recent figures from the Department for Transport showed that treacherous winter conditions caused over 6,000 road incidents last year. With that in mind Monaco VW is also recommending VW-approved snow chains and snow socks to help drivers keep a tighter grip on the road in snowy and icy conditions. For those new to chains and “socks” a full demonstration will be provided by Monaco VW’s friendly team.

“Our Winter Vehicle Check gives drivers the confidence that they’re not going to feel unprepared when the inevitable hard frosts and poor weather affects the capital over the next few months” said Dealer Principal Anthony Barrell.

We’re happy to promote this for Monaco VW as this is a responsible thing to do at this time of year. We’d also like to remind members that many of our FOXY Lady Approved garages offer a similar service, often free but requiring payment for any expensive engine oil top ups that are usually involved.

NB: This year, all their female customers who provide feedback following a recent visit to Monaco VW will be offered a gift membership of FOXY Lady Drivers Club worth £23. What’s not to like?

VW’s Spring servicing bargain

All women drivers buying a new Volkswagen can pay a one-off sum of just £250 to cover the servicing needs for the next three years or 30,000 miles, carried out by ATA equivalent fully trained VW specialists within their franchised dealership network.

And just like BMW Mini’s TLC package, if the car is sold before the three years are up (or 30,000 miles), the remainder of the plan can be transferred to the new owner which is an attractive sales extra.

Volkswagen Finance’s  servicing plan is open to all retail female customers whether they pay by finance or not. The £250 plan can be purchased up to 90 days after the first registration date of the vehicle or, alternatively, it can be included in selected Volkswagen Finance plans meaning peace of mind can cost just a few pounds per month.

The fixed-price service plan includes a maximum of an oil service at 12 months / 10,000 miles; an interval service including oil change at 24 months / 20,000 miles; and an inspection service including oil and brake fluid change at 36 months / 30,000 miles. At the same intervals, all VW Fox and New Beetle models receive an oil service, inspection service including oil and brake fluid change and a final oil service.

NB: A fixed-price servicing plan is also available for women drivers buying used VW cars from car dealerships for a one-off payment of just £299 under a separate plan.

Both fixed-price servicing plans apply to routine servicing based on the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule and exclude maintenance and other items.
