A warranty isn't just paperwork-it's peace of mind that your investment is protected.

**New car warranty.** Every new Volkswagen comes with factory coverage that protects against defects in parts and workmanship. Our finance team will explain the specifics-coverage periods, what's included, and what isn't.

**Certified pre-owned (CPO).** Our certified vehicles are inspected rigorously and include extended warranty coverage beyond what standard used cars offer. It's quality assurance with the backing to prove it.

**Used car coverage.** Pre-owned vehicles vary in age and mileage, so warranty coverage differs. Our team is transparent about what's included and available options to add protection.

**Extended warranties & protection.** Want coverage beyond factory or CPO terms? Our finance team offers extended warranties, gap insurance (protects you if your car is totaled), tire and wheel coverage, and more.

**Service confidence.** All warranty work is handled by our trained service team using genuine parts-so repairs are done right.

**Questions?** Our finance and service teams are ready to detail coverage options, costs, and how they work. Call (847) 593-4700 or visit us at 1000 E Golf Rd.
