Dedicated technicians.
In the UK, first line support will be provided by a team of 95 Dedicated Technicians, fully trained by Volkswagen and carrying the latest diagnostic equipment, specialist tools and parts. Their customised Volkswagen Transporter vehicle even carries a specially-designed trailer should your vehicle have to be recovered from the roadside.
To provide the greatest benefit to Volkswagen owners, these Dedicated Technicians will be allocated to the most complex and technical breakdowns.
Perhaps even more reassuring for Volkswagen customers is that our force of Dedicated Technicians will be backed up by 150 Accredited Technicians. On call 24/7, these Technicians are also specially trained on all Volkswagen Group vehicles. Their RAC orange Volkswagen Transporters will be equipped with similar equipment including specialist tools and parts.
Furthermore, the Dedicated and Accredited Technician teams will be supported by the full force of RAC’s 1,500 orange Patrols plus their own Recovery Vehicles and approved contractors. With this comprehensive back-up available we are confident that you will experience an even better quality and personal service should you need us.
