We love a good deal, so on top of the condition report we’ll also include two vouchers. They will be linked to the inspected Volkswagen, so they can be passed onto the buyer.

A 4Plus Care Plan saves you the hassle when your next service rolls around. It works by bundling your services together in either a 2-year or 4-year plan. A $50 discount will be applied to the VIN of your vehicle at checkout, meaning the future owner can easily redeem online1.
