WE'RE TEXAS STRONG!

While we’ve proudly embraced our role as an essential business during this virus scare - this isn’t business as usual.

If you’ve stopped in recently, you’ll quickly notice that we’ve radically changed our customer contact procedures, campus cleaning protocols, and in some cases the physical space we’re operating out of to keep our guests and employees as safe as possible. We are still maintaining full-time hours at all facilities and we’re proud to be providing vital vehicle sales, service, and collision repair to our Central Texas neighbors. People are depending on us.

I’m not alone in being grateful for the work that our team members are doing. We’ve received dozens of emails, calls, and other positive feedback from customers on social media thanking our staff for continuing to provide critical vehicle services during this stressful time.

Much of the essential work we do cannot be done from home. We’ve implemented a series of preventative health measures for our employees and guests: everything from increasing the frequency and the intensity of cleaning, to adjusting our practices in all common customer areas to ensure the recommended social distancing guidelines are followed, to protecting our staff and customer vehicles with appropriate PPE equipment. Our management staff is meeting regularly, and we’ve even designated a member of our team as the ‘COVID-19 Czar’ whose core mission is to ensure we continue to appropriately follow our newly established cleaning protocols.

Our team is here to serve you, they care, and they are definitely Texas True. If we all continue to practice the recommended safety guidelines and utilize some good ole’ common sense, I’m confident that we’re going to get through this, together.

Thank you for your business & stay safe,



Mike Hewlett

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 ...

Cheap Kid Car?

Cheap Car For a First-time Driver. At my age or at least at this stage of my life, my number one request from my friends is:  “I need a cheap car for my kid”.  My two kids have now finished both high school and college but it seemed like for maybe a ten year period - once a week somebody somewhere would ask me for a cheap car for their kid.  Of course that car came with a long list of "wants and must have" items but priority one is always related to safety and reliability.   Obviously one’s version of “cheap” is different than the next person so I have to ask, “what do you consider cheap?”  That number always seems to land around the $10,000 range.   Putting our kids in the safest and most reliable cars goes without saying.  Not a single one of us want our children in a vehicle that has poor crash ratings, poor reliability, bad gas mileage and the list goes on.  Therefore, I’m constantly tasked with finding the right car that fits ...
