The People First


Make mine a “DOUBLE” please!



The best news coming out of Volkswagen for our customers is in full swing and it’s bold.  For what seems like forever, Volkswagen has had a 3 year or 36,000 mile warranty very similar to every other car maker.  

When Volkswagen said they “vowed to make things right”, they went BOLD!  They are so confident in their quality and reliability that they have now placed what’s called The People First Warranty, America’s Best Car and SUV Bumper-to-Bumper Transferable Warranty on almost all 2018 and newer Volkswagens.  

Yes, your new 2018 Volkswagen now comes with DOUBLE the warranty, 6 years/72,000 miles (whichever occurs first) of bumper-to-bumper coverage.  It’s outrageous, ridiculous and outright insane… WOW!  The coverage is exactly the same as it’s always been except twice as long.  No deductible, totally transferable and assigned to the VIN of the car so work can be performed at any Volkswagen dealer in the United States. 

This is about as “worry free” of car ownership as I’ve seen in my 30 years in the industry.  Many other manufacturers have come out with some sort of variation of a longer warranty in an attempt to gain market share.  Each and every one of those come with some variation of a “catch”.  Limited coverage like power-train only, maybe a form of deductible or at the very least, not transferable meaning it’s only available to the first owner.  NOT this one!  VW’s 6 years/72,000 mile limited warranty is nothing fancy, there’s no trickery, just double the amount of coverage and zero deductible regardless of how many owners.  

If you want to see all the new products VW has developed over the past couple years, visit our showroom.  Check out the all-new 7 passenger SUV, the Atlas, the totally redesigned Tiguan, the all-new 2019 Jetta, and oh yeah, the VW Arteon is right around the corner.  If you want worry free driving for a VERY long time, Volkswagen certainly put “The People First” and put their money where their mouth is.  

Come by and see us and as always, thank you VERY MUCH for your business!

Brett Weldon rejoins Team Hewlett

By Tom Fornshell, Service and Parts Manager There is a lot of talk about how important family is. It is fundamental to all of us and it is very important to me. It can either be our foundation or our undoing, a huge support structure or missing altogether… maybe all the above. Any way you have it, it influences the path we take in life. Hewlett Volkswagen is owned and run by an amazing family who teach me about generosity, respect, and caring every day. They make our store feel like home. Brett Weldon was a Volkswagen service consultant for sixteen years; and ten years with the Hewlett Family.   Good and high performing people in any industry are often lured away to different organizations hoping to capitalize on some of that performance. Such was the case with Brett. Heck, I don’t blame them, Brett is a Rockstar of customer service. Anyone that has had the fortune of dealing with him knows that. So, after a couple years of not so pleasant public perception of the ...
