Express Visual Check is a 34 point visual check of all the wear and tear items on a customer's car. The check will be carried out at no extra cost on every car when it comes into a Volkswagen workshop no matter the age and condition of the vehicle. The check is designed to provide the customer with complete peace of mind and allows us to highlight potential wear and tear issues with the car that need to be addressed immediately or in the future.
A detailed report on the customer’s car will be completed by a Volkswagen-trained technician using a simple traffic light system. Any items identified will be clearly explained to the customer and they may be sent a video to support the report. Using the traffic light system we will advise whether work is urgent and gain approval for any work to be carried out on the day. Alternatively we will advise of any items to keep an eye of for the future. The check only takes around 30 minutes and is very convenient, as work can be performed on the day rather than making another booking or can be booked in at a time convenient to the customer.

All items in full working order with a clean bill of health

Currently safe and legal but may need maintenance in the near future - before the next scheduled visit

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a limited number of lenders and their finance products, we act as their agent for this introduction. We are not an independent financial advisor; we will provide details of products available. We may advise you on the products, subject to your personal circumstances, though you are not obliged to take our advice or recommendation.
We do not charge you a fee for our services. we will typically receive commission from whichever lender we introduce you to (either a fixed fee or a fixed percentage of the amount you borrow).
Unless we consider it to be inappropriate given your personal circumstances, for certain vehicles e.g. New, our approach is to introduce you to the lender who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account interest rates, residual valuations (where applicable) and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, or the vehicle is not one that we would normally place with them we will introduce you to other lenders on our panel. The lender we introduce you to and available rates will depend upon a number of factors including: the vehicle, your personal circumstances and the likelihood of a lender to accept an application based on information provided.
Lenders typically pay a commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions; some lenders may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you would like to know the amount of any remuneration we have received from the finance provider, please ask us.
