Hosted at Volkswagen dealerships throughout the country, Autofest combines a variety of offers, including exclusive exchange deals, attractive finance schemes, loyalty rewards, and comprehensive service packages. It’s designed to benefit both existing Volkswagen owners and new buyers looking to drive home a premium vehicle.

As part of the exchange program, customers can enjoy benefits such as special finance options, loyalty bonuses, complimentary vehicle evaluations, test drives, and additional perks on vehicle servicing and maintenance.
