Car Servicing

Here at North Cornwall VW Centre, we’re as passionate about providing the best car service available as we were in 1987.

For more than 35 years we’ve been servicing all makes and models of vehicles from small cars to 3.5-tonne commercial vehicles at our workshop in Wadebridge. And don’t let our timeline fool you; we constantly move with the times and have the expertise and kit to carry out a car service on the very latest fully electric or hybrid models equally well as we have the knowledge and machinery needed for a veteran of the road. Our team is highly qualified and can advise you how often your vehicle should be serviced. As a rule of thumb, we recommend you alternate our Full Service with our Small Service every year unless you do a lot of mileage.

We also offer Block Exemption car servicing for vehicles still in their warranty period and can follow the manufacturer’s servicing schedule if that’s what you prefer. A lot of main dealers won’t point out that you can take your vehicle to an independent garage for servicing when it’s under warranty. One of the reasons is that we charge far, far less and actually offer much more! We’re passionate about providing you with the best and most cost-effective car service – to us, you’ll never be just another registration number on the ramp. At North Cornwall VW Centre, we want to provide a service that adds real value, not one that drains your cash.

If this sort of car service and customer care sounds like a breath of fresh air, give Chris and the team a call today on 01208 814747. Or pop in and have a chat; we have a comfortable reception and waiting area with Wifi and Anthony at the front desk is a font of knowledge. With a few decades of experience in the servicing and parts trade, there’s not much he doesn’t know!

We’re here five days a week and are easy to find in Wadebridge, not far from the A39.
