VW Launches Customer App for Owners

Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 10-10-2017

Volkswagen South Africa (VWSA) has launched a new Customer App to keep owners in tune with their cars.

The My VW Customer App features owners vehicle data and information, allows users to request a service appointment at their nearest service centre, book a test drive, request a quote for a new car, access their car’s service history as well as view and manage their financial contract information.

It also boasts the Volkswagen Alert Roadside Assistance which provides users with a direct line to the Volkswagen Roadside Assist call centre, which sends exact GPS coordinates.

Another feature is The Guardian Angel, a journey tracking tool notifies loved ones on the progress of a journey and sends an alert if there is a journey disruption.

Thomas Schaefer, VWSA Chairman and Managing Director says with the My VW App, owners will be able to have all their vehicle data and information available to them at the click of a button.

“As Volkswagen, we want to stay abreast of technological advancements whilst making it simpler to own a Volkswagen vehicle which is the crux of this app.”

The My VW App is now available for download for any Android and Apple smartphones.
