Close Volkswagen Warranty Frequently Asked Questions in Indianapolis, IN
Whether you currently own a Volkswagen vehicle or plan to purchase one, you should be fully aware of the excellent warranties available to you. That’s why it’s important to know the answers to common questions regarding coverage. We at Speedway Volkswagen are excited to help, so contact us to learn more.
What Is the Volkswagen New Vehicle Limited Warranty?
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty lasts for four years1 or 50,000 miles and covers nearly all of your vehicle's components against defects in materials and workmanship. This is Volkswagen's core warranty protection and is included at no additional cost with every new vehicle purchase. We encourage all customers to review their owner's literature for a clear understanding of what is included.
What Components Are Covered?
Coverage typically includes factory faults in the engine or transmission, malfunctions in electrical systems, issues with safety equipment like airbags and seatbelts, and repairs needed for air conditioning and heating systems. If you're ever unsure whether a specific component qualifies, our service team is happy to walk you through the details.
What Is Not Covered?
The warranty does not cover damages caused by accidents, theft, or vandalism, nor does it cover wear-and-tear parts that degrade through regular use, such as windshield wipers or brake pads. Damage resulting from improper use or modifications using non-approved parts may also void coverage. We recommend contacting our team members before making any modifications to your vehicle to ensure your warranty remains intact.
Does Volkswagen Offer Rust and Corrosion Protection?
Volkswagen's Corrosion Perforation Warranty provides long-term protection lasting 12 years with no mileage limit, safeguarding against rust-through of your vehicle's body panels. This is particularly valuable for customers in regions that experience harsh winters or exposure to road salt.
What Is the Carefree Maintenance Program?
All new Volkswagen models come standard with two years2 of Carefree Maintenance, covering your first two scheduled maintenance services, with service recommended every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Taking advantage of this benefit at our dealership ensures your vehicle is serviced by certified technicians using genuine Volkswagen parts and can withstand many more trips to Newfields.
Does My Volkswagen Come With Roadside Assistance?
Roadside Assistance covers battery jump-starts, flat tire assistance, emergency fuel or fluid delivery, lockout service, towing, and trip interruption service — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you're driving around Indianapolis or on a long road trip, help is never far away. This coverage lasts for three years3 or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Is the Warranty Transferable if I Sell My Vehicle?
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty, EV Battery Warranty, Corrosion Perforation Warranty, and Carefree Coverage are all transferable to secondary owners at no cost. This is a meaningful benefit that can add real value to your vehicle at the time of resale or trade in.
How Can I Keep My Warranty Valid?
Completing recommended maintenance — such as oil changes, brake inspections, and tire rotations — and keeping thorough service records throughout your time on I-70 ensures your vehicle remains eligible for warranty coverage. Using genuine parts and having your car serviced at an authorized Volkswagen Service Department, like ours, is the best way to protect your investment. Check your Owner’s Manual for more details. We are committed to making warranty service as seamless as possible. If you have additional questions about your Volkswagen's coverage, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Dealership Information
Testimonials
Dealership is lovely
Great experience
“ Great experience & love my new car! ”
Amanda was straightforward and easy to work with
“ We chose Speedway Volkswagen for one simple reason. They advertised and offered the most favorable Sign and Drive lease deal on the Tiguan of any VW dealer in the city. Perhaps most importantly, it wasn’t a loss leader type of deal. There wasn't just "one available at this price". They had numerous vehicles available, all at comparable savings. Amanda was straightforward and easy to work with. ”
Great Experience
“ Great experience all around at Speedway VW. Ryan George was fantastic and super knowledgeable. He found me the exact Cross Sport that I wanted in the color that is pretty tough to find. I appreciate all of the effort from the whole team. The finance department was especially helpful. ”

I'm happy to recommend them
“ Came in for warranty service. The Service Writer, Steve, took care of everything and they even washed the car for us. This is a very professionally run dealership and I'm happy to recommend them. ”
Amazing!
“ I just got my new lease through Speedway Volkswagen, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! Nick and Jerad were amazing—super accommodating with my budget and schedule, and they made the whole process unbelievably easy. I didn’t even have to step foot in the dealership since they knew it would be tough for me to get there with a full-time job and a toddler at home. They also got me an awesome deal on the car I really wanted but didn’t think I could get! Taylor was great on the financing side too—everything was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure I was getting the best deal possible. I’m so happy to be part of the Speedway Volkswagen family and know I’m in good hands! ”

Great Experience!
“ Amanda was absolutely great. Couldn’t ask for a better sales representative for a company. ”
Seamless Transition
“ Traded in 2 vehicles and received full amount of their worth. Seamless transition and bought an Outback Wilderness. Love this car. Love those folks at Speedway Subaru. I even left a 500 dollar pair of shades in the compartment. When I called they already had them set aside. Their service center is always ready to help with any questions. Justin was my salesman. I'm sure others their are just as good, but my experience with this knowledgeable person is someone I would always make reference to. Look him up if interested in buying a car. You won't be disappointed. ”
Would definitely recommend this dealer!
“ Just bought a used Honda from Speedway Subaru. The experience was really great! As I was driving, I noticed a crack in the windshield that I missed during the test drive. I told them about it and they immediately scheduled for Safelite to come out and replace it free of charge! Would definitely recommend this dealer! ”
