Oil to the right spec
Volkswagen engines are built around oils that meet VW’s own specifications, listed in your owner’s manual. Using the wrong oil is a common and avoidable problem; we match it to your engine. See our oil change options.
Turbocharged engines
Many modern VWs are turbocharged, which makes on-time oil changes and a healthy cooling system especially important. If a warning light comes on, have it read promptly — see check engine light diagnosis.
Electronics and diagnostics
We use manufacturer-specific scan tools, the same kind dealerships use, to read faults on modern VWs. More on how we compare in Neal’s Garage vs. the dealership.
Neal’s Garage is at 1907 West Markham Avenue in Durham, right off Ninth Street, open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Call 919-286-1167 or schedule an appointment.
