The German carmaker will be offering free roadside assistance to the customers to tow their cars to the nearest service centres. Customers can also dial a toll-free number mentioned below to intimate Volkswagen service executives for assistance and instructions for getting their cars to service stations. Volkswagen India has also trained the technical support staff to look after the maintenance and sourcing of necessary parts. In the light of the untimely floods in Kerala, the initiative comes as a much-needed relief for VW customers in the state.
Customers in Kerala can avail the free road-side assistance by dialing ​1800 102 1155​ or ​1800 419 1155​. Under road-side assist, affected cars would be transported free of cost to the nearest Volkswagen dealer.
