Car Repair Mistakes That Will Cost You

Published

Instead of finding a professional to complete your Volkswagen service in Chicago, you may be tempted to try to make the repairs on your own. While in some cases, this may work out, most of the time, attempting to make repairs on your own will result in an even bigger problem. Avoid the following mistakes and you’ll save yourself time and money.

Going to a Quick-Fix Mechanic

When mechanics offer prices that seem too good to be true, know that it probably is. Not all mechanics have the same amount of experience or training, so lower prices could mean more serious issues down the road. The last thing you want to do is treat your nice car poorly by bringing it to a service shop that doesn’t know its stuff, which is why we recommend visiting us for Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Mini Cooper, Porsche or Volkswagen service in Chicago.

Skipping Oil Changes

Many people view oil changes as optional when in reality, they are essential to helping extend the life of your car and take care of your vehicle. Oil changes are fast, even taking 15-30 minutes, so make sure to get one regularly to keep your engine running like new.

Skipping Maintenance

Maintenance is a department that many people overlook, but it can be one of the most beneficial aspects of taking care of your vehicle. Instead of spending thousands on repairs, you could spend minimal money to make sure your car is running smoothly.

Give your car the attention and love it deserves! Contact our team at VFC Engineering if you’re in need of Volkswagen service in Chicago.

Finally had some time to rate and review. Was having issues with my 3 series and was anticipating bad news. Zach and Carlos diagnosed and repaired my issue. Now the car drives like new. Amazing! Plus the 3yr/36k warranty on the work- you just can’t beat that. Honestly, that’s just confidence behind their work. I’m bringing in my fleet. Thank you guys!

Bought a used 2014 x3 as an extra with 2 new/young drivers. VFC was great on the prepurchase inspection AND normal maintenance and minor repairs since then. I trust that they manage what needs to be done - not just looking at a list and doing/charging me. Trust matters and the value is good!
