How does Service Cam work?

Once you book your service appointment, all you have to do is let us know if you’d like to be contacted through email or mobile. We will take it from there.

Video showcase of care will follow.

A video showcase will give you a glimpse into all the additional services your car needs. From tyre replacement to brake pad wear, find out exactly what requires our care.

Your confirmation on the services.

After thoroughly viewing the video showcased to you, Service Cam enables you to approve the added services and costs associated with them. Only after your go ahead will all the required services be undertaken by us.

Service completion.

Once the service procedures are complete, your Volkswagen will be dropped off at your premises, or be ready to be picked up from the workshop.

    • Once the core is found suitable, the reconditioned Exchange Part is sold to you at a recommended retail price that is lower than what you would have paid for the Genuine Part.
    • Your original part is then returned to Volkswagen and follows Volkswagen’s re-manufacturing process.
