Schedule Your Vehicle Inspection
You can schedule an inspection appointment here or by calling us at (888) 431-8461.
During the inspection, an agent will evaluate your vehicle for any excess wear and use. Upon completion, you will receive an inspection condition report which itemizes any excess wear. To view a sample of this report, log into vwcredit.com/accountadvisor. Any excess wear will be billed on your Turn-In Settlement Invoice (unless you choose to repair the items prior to turn-in).
If you have any excess wear charges, we highly recommend that you discuss the results with Dublin Volkswagen and your insurance agent. We may have helpful suggestions for minimizing out of pocket expenses. Make sure to ask us if any of the repairs needed are covered under warranty. If repairs are completed, mail or fax the receipts to us before you return your vehicle to ensure proper credit to your account.
Turn in Your Vehicle
Once your inspection and desired repairs are completed, there's only one thing left to do-turn in your vehicle and make your move into a new or Certified Pre-Loved VW! Here's how:
1. Contact us to set up a turn-in appointment.
2. After you've returned your vehicle, just let us know by logging into vwcredit.com/accountadvisor to fill out our vehicle return form or by calling (800) 521-0171. You'll receive a final turn-in settlement invoice from us within four weeks.
