Battery

If you've ever experienced being stuck with a dead battery, you know how draining the feeling is. We get that, and that's why we will run a battery health test every time you bring your vehicle in for a multi-point inspection. We use a specific Volkswagen battery tester to monitor it, and the charging system as well. We'll determine your battery's state of charge to help prevent a no-start situation.

You may be aware that your battery helps start your vehicle and provides electricity for things like your lights and playing your favorite tunes. What you may not know are the many things that can affect its health - including its age and extreme temperatures - and one day it will need to be replaced. When it's time, we'll have the exact replacement you'll need.

Air Filters

Air filters allow clean air in while keeping contaminants out. Your Volkswagen has two of them - one for the engine and one for the air you breathe inside your vehicle. Our factory trained technicians inspect both filters during the multi-point inspection.

When it comes time to change them, we'll replace them with Volkswagen filters for the proper fit and proven filtration. Other places may recommend filters that fit "okay," but only our Volkswagen filters are a direct replacement for the filters that were engineered to work best in your vehicle. See more about our filters in the Checking Engine Air Filter and Checking Cabin Air Filter videos.

Windshield Wipers

If your wiper blades cause streaking or chattering because the rubber is worn, we'll gladly assist by replacing them with new ones. Continued use, the summer's heat and winter's brittle cold can affect the blades over the course of a year, and they'll probably need to be replaced annually. A clear view of the road is always important to have. So, when your windshield needs clearing, you're going to want well-functioning wipers on your Subaru to safely view the road ahead.

Shocks and Struts

The shocks and struts of your Volkswagen absorb the impact from unfortunate bumps in the road, and they help keep your ride feeling comfortable. We'll review them during our multi-point inspection, along with the other components of your suspension system, to make sure your vehicle handles safely and rides smoothly.

Sharp turns, cruising curves at freeway speeds, and hard braking can be handled confidently with healthy shocks and struts. Learn more about them, and the possible symptoms that might indicate that they need to be serviced, in the video above entitled "Worn Shocks and Struts".

Advanced Repairs

Regular maintenance, such as oil changes or tire and brake replacement, is natural to any vehicle's upkeep. But over time, driving conditions and many miles on moving parts can cause the need for repairs to the engine, transmission, suspension and other major systems.

If it comes to the point where your Volkswagen needs advanced repair work, we have something that other shops can't provide - Volkswagen certified factory trained technicians. They have gained hands-on, vehicle-specific training at a Volkswagen Training Center and receive updated training annually.

This means, at Riverhead Bay Volkswagen, your vehicle is in the hands of knowledgeable technicians who are familiar with Volkswagen vehicles - inside and out. Not only do they know how your vehicle operates mechanically, but they are also familiar with the advanced electronics that operate your vehicle and are capable of interpreting data from specialized diagnostic computers. You'll also have a welcoming service team that's committed to repairing your Volkswagen correctly with Volkswagen Parts.
