Master Technicians



Chris Burnett, Volkswagen Group of America, Tom Fornshell, Julian Araujo and Leonel Palacios.
Hewlett is proud to announce its two newest Master Volkswagen technicians Leonel Palacios and Julian Araujo. This is not just a fluffy title tied to some years on the job. These highly skilled technicians have undergone widespread training and each have more than a decade of experience working with the Volkswagen brand.

Master Volkswagen Technicians undergo extensive hands-on instructor-led training for literally hundreds of hours over a several year period. This training is supplemented with an equal amount of self-study and on-line training. This training culminates in a two day, personally tailored evaluation and training period. After those two days, they spend more time brushing up on their skills and are then required to demonstrate their ability to diagnose and repair actual vehicles in a rigorous two day testing and analysis under direct observation. In other words, these gentlemen have really earned the right to call themselves Master Volkswagen Technicians.

Please join all of us in the Hewlett family in congratulating Leonel and Julian on this fine achievement.

Well done gentlemen, well done indeed.




Tom Fornshell
Service & Parts Manager

Latest TDI News

By John Chauvin   Welcome to summer!   It’s our sincere hope that you’re enjoying this warmer weather for outdoor events, backyard fun and maybe even some well-deserved vacation time with your family.   I know in previous newsletters I’ve written about the new and exciting products Volkswagen has or will launch this year.   The all new Jetta is a huge hit as VW seemed to find the perfect match for just about everything one could ask for in terms of styling, technology, comfort, roominess and of course making The People First Warranty TWICE as long.   The all new Volkswagen Atlas and Tiguan SUV’s continue to set all time sales records and our customers (and us as well) are simply amazed by these two vehicles. I wanted to change the tune a bit and talk Pre-Owned cars, specifically - the VW TDI diesel.   As we approach the final months of Volkswagen’s TDI buybacks, the focus has now shifted to the re-sale of those TDI vehicles back into the...

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 ...
