NEW DELHI: Volkswagen India has announced its annual Monsoon Car Care campaign aimed at ensuring safe and hassle-free driving during rainy season. With the monsoon typically posing challenges such as reduced visibility, braking issues, and unpredictable road conditions, the campaign seeks to prepare customers effectively.

As part of this initiative, Volkswagen India will provide customers with a complimentary 40-point vehicle health check-up at tall 142 service outlets across India. This thorough inspection covers essential components including brakes, tyres, wipers, and lights, among others, aiming to enhance vehicle reliability and safety.

Mr. Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars India, said, “Our Monsoon Car Care Campaign underscores the Volkswagen Brand’s dedication to customer centricity and safety. We understand the unique challenges that come with driving during the monsoon season. Through this proactive measure, we want our customers to have a safe and hassle-free driving experience enabling them to enjoy their journeys without any concern.”

To further ensure customer confidence during the monsoon season, Volkswagen offers additional support through its Road Side Assistance (RSA) program. Customers can also take advantage of the 2-year Service Value Package and Extended Warranty package, now available at a revised competitive price. These offerings aim to provide comprehensive coverage and peace of mind, reinforcing Volkswagen's commitment to customer care during challenging driving conditions.
