When buying a used Volkswagen or Audi (or any other vehicle), it is ALWAYS a great idea to get a pre-purchase inspection. Just like having an inspection performed if you are looking to buy a house, having your potential new vehicle inspected by a mechanic that knows the ins and outs of your vehicle of interest can be a determining factor in whether you buy or move on to the next vehicle.

We recently had a customer purchase a VW GTI from a very well-known national vehicle reseller. The vehicle was beautiful but what lurked below the vehicle was approximately $3,000 of oil and coolant leaks. These leaks were not visible by looking down into the engine bay but once we got the VW onto the lift and were able to perform an inspection, we found all sorts of problems. Luckily our customer was within his return window and promptly reached out to the company and got his money back. However, the GTI was back on their website within days. You just never know what sort of used cars are for sale.

No matter what make & model you purchase….find a mechanic that knows what to look for.  Das Autohaus KNOWS Volkswagen and Audi and our thorough German import pre-purchase and post-purchase inspection will provide details of our findings and how to repair any issues.
