Is a Volkswagen Expensive to Maintain?

2023 Volkswagen Tiguan Driving Through the Forest
 

If you’re thinking about buying a Volkswagen, you may be wondering if VW cars and SUVs are expensive to maintain. This is a question we’ve heard more than once since quite a few Akron and North Canton drivers associate European models with especially high service and repair charges. But the truth is, monthly VW maintenance costs are well within the reach of most drivers! In fact, although imported parts can sometimes be expensive, your VW service costs and VW repair costs are likely to be much lower than those paid by many other drivers.

How Do VW Service Costs Compare?

In a 2016 study from YourMechanic, VW maintenance costs and VW repair costs were found to be well below average. In a list of 30 popular auto makes, Volkswagen service costs were lower than the service costs for 21 other brands, over a ten-year period. That means Volkswagen cars and SUVs are not expensive to maintain, relative to other brands. 

Why are VW repair costs and service prices so low? Just for starters, Volkswagen offers excellent new vehicle limited warranty and a very strong CPO program. It’s not hard to see where our lineup has a competitive advantage.
