Windrush Volkswagen Customer Information

Ordered a new Volkswagen? What you need to know

Thank you for buying your new Volkswagen from Windrush. We greatly appreciate your custom and we will do as much as possible to ensure everything is straightforward and enjoyable up to the point of delivery and beyond. We will keep you updated with your Volkswagen's servicing requirements and future opportunities for what will hopefully be your next Volkswagen from Windrush.

Our main priority is to deliver the highest levels of customer service and to make your purchase an enjoyable experience. Once you have taken delivery of your car, Volkswagen will contact you to ensure that we have delivered on our promise. However, if at any point you have any questions or concerns, please email us at windrush@windrush.co.uk and our management team will respond promptly.

We have listed some of the information that you will need ahead of delivery below plus a little about what happens after – we hope you find it useful.

Delivery options

We sincerely believe that a better quality of handover experience is available when collecting your new car in person from our showrooms. We can take as long as you wish in a great environment for you to understand your new car and aftersales requirements.



However, if you require home delivery, we can offer delivery Monday to Friday, normally at a time to fit around you between 10am and 4pm. We use professional handover delivery drivers who work under strict driving limitations to ensure a positive delivery experience. We may also use a car transporter subject to availability. All deliveries are subject to additional cost that will be quoted upon request.

Payment options

Debit and credit card payments can be accepted up to a maximum of £1,000 for deposit purposes only. Please note transferred funds will need to be received by the preceding Friday for weekend and Monday collections and the day before for weekday collections. We strongly advise that your transfer is arranged at least two days prior to the agreed delivery date as banks can differ in speed of fully processing.

Personal cheques, bankers,cash or building society cheques cannot be taken as part or full payment.

Balance of payments by direct transfer only to:

National Westminster Bank, Milton Keynes
Account: 82218323 for Slough purchases
Account: 82231885 for Maidenhead purchases
Sort Code: 60 14 55 is the same for either branch

Taxing your vehicle

Taxing of your new vehicle will take place at delivery. It is a DVLA requirement to ensure that your new car is registered by you to the address that you require and to ensure that you receive future renewal reminders correctly. Payment on the day can be made with any recognised credit or debit card. A complimentary 5 days’ free insurance cover can be obtained from Volkswagen Insurance by calling 0345 300 6119 and quoting dealer code 349 Slough or 401 Maidenhead. If you hold a road fund licence exemption certificate, please ensure this is given to us.

If you have a part-exchange

If you are part-exchanging your vehicle, we will require the following:

  • Vehicle registration document
  • Current MOT certificate (if applicable)
  • All service history and supporting invoices. Electronic service histories should be printed out and handed over on the day
  • Please bring both sets of keys

Please note that, if you have completed your appraisal and valuation online or by telephone with your customer account manager, this is always subject to a physical onsite confirmation appraisal at Windrush. All values prior to this are subject to confirmation.

We will keep in touch during your ownership

Once you have taken delivery of your new Volkswagen from Windrush we will continue to stay in touch to guide you through the ownership experience over the lifetime of your vehicle. We are always here to help you with any questions you may have. Below are some details on how we aim to keep you informed.

In 24 hours…

We will be in touch with you to check that you were extremely satisfied with your experience with Windrush and to answer any initial questions that you may have since you left the showroom.

In 11 months' time…

Nearly a year has gone past since taking delivery of your car. We will be in touch with you to check that you’re still enjoying it and to answer any questions that may have arisen in the last 11 months. In approximately seven months, there will also be a reminder that we’ll be calling you to do an account review.

In 12-23 months’ time…

Within this period, we’ll be monitoring your agreement and we will contact you regarding your plan.

You will be invited in for an account review with one of our showroom managers. At this stage we can advise you when you’ll get the best value upgrade on a brand new Volkswagen. That’s because the equity in your car will be at the peak of its value, so you may be surprised at what you can get.

Servicing and maintenance

To ensure your car is kept in tip-top condition and, to maintain its value and integrity, we will send you the occasional reminder regarding servicing and maintenance that is due on your vehicle.

Once your car is booked in with us, we email useful service booking reminders.

We will also advise you of any issues discovered during a free Visual Health Inspection of your vehicle to make you aware of any faults or urgent maintenance required.

(b) the seller undertakes that he will ensure than the pre-delivery work specified by the Manufacturer or Concessionaire is performed and that he will use his best endeavours to obtain for the Purchaser from the Manufacturer or Concessionaire the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given by him to the Seller or to the Purchaser in respect of the goods.

(c) notwithstanding also the sum for Value Added Tax specified in the order, the sum payable by the purchaser in respect thereof shall be such sum as the seller becomes legally liable for at the time the taxable supply occurs;

(d) if after the date of this order and before delivery of the goods to the Purchaser the Manufacturer’s or Concessionaire’s recommended price for any of the goods shall be altered, the Seller shall give notice of any such alteration to the Purchaser, and in the event of the recommended price being reduced the amount of such reduction, if any, which the Seller intends to allow to the Purchaser shall be notified to the Purchaser. If the amount allowed is not the same as the reduction of the recommended price the Purchaser shall have the right to cancel the contract within 14 days of the receipt of such notice.

(e) in the event of the Manufacturer of the goods described in the order ceasing to make goods of that type, the Seller may (whether the estimated delivery date has arrived or not) by notice in writing to the Purchaser, cancel the contract.

4. If the Purchaser shall fail to take and pay for the goods within 14 days of notification that the goods have been completed for delivery, the Seller shall be at liberty to treat the contract as repudiated by the Purchaser and thereupon the deposit shall be forfeited without prejudice to the Seller’s right to recover from the Purchaser by way of damages any loss or expense which the Seller may suffer or incur by reason of the Purchaser’s default.

5. (a) If the contract is cancelled under the provisions of clauses 2 or 3 hereof the deposit shall be returned to the Purchaser and the Seller shall be under no further liability

(b) The Seller is at liberty to retain the purchase deposit should the contract be cancelled by the purchaser under circumstances not covered by the provisions of clauses 2, 3 and 5 hereof. This is to cover such expenses as; charges related to but not limited to advertising, administration, financing, display, lost opportunities, depreciation.

(c) if a purchase is secured by a deposit but reliant on a finance agreement acceptance, this must be achieved within 48hrs otherwise the deposit will be returned and the order cancelled.

6. The goods shall remain the property of the Seller until the price has been discharged in full. All payments must be made by acceptable methods as designated by the Seller as at the date of transaction and all payments made by the Purchaser in payment shall not be treated as a discharge until the same has been irrevocably cleared into the Seller’s bank account.

7. Where the Seller agrees to allow part of the price of the goods to be discharged by the Purchaser delivering a used motor vehicle to the Seller, such allowance is hereby agreed to be given and received and such used vehicle is hereby agreed to be delivered and accepted, as part of the sale and purchase of the goods and upon the following further conditions:

(a) (i) that such used vehicle is the absolute property of the Purchaser and is free from all encumbrances; or

(ii) that such used vehicle is the subject of a hire purchase agreement or other encumbrance capable of cash settlement by the Seller, in which case the allowance shall be reduced by the amount required to be paid by the Seller in settlement thereof:

(b) that if the Seller has examined the said used vehicle prior to his confirmation and acceptance of this order, the said used vehicle shall be delivered to him in the same condition as at the date of such examination (fair wear and tear excepted);

(c) that such used vehicle shall be delivered to the Seller on or before delivery of the goods to be supplied by him hereunder, and the property in the said used vehicle shall thereupon pass to the Seller absolutely;

(d) that without prejudice to (c) above such used vehicle shall be delivered to the Seller within 10 days of notification to the Purchaser that the goods to be supplied by the Seller have been completed for delivery;

(e) Part-exchanges and direct purchase. If you have completed an online self-appraisal and valuation, this is always subject to a physical confirmation by our Sales team prior to delivery at Windrush Volkswagen.
 
The initial ‘part-exchange valuation’ is assured for an initial period of 10 days following the order being placed. This ensures that customers have time to organise delivery safe in the knowledge that the part-exchange valuation is assured (the only exception being an actual deterioration in condition). All part exchanges that pass the first 10 day rule will be subject to a full re-appraisal with valuations adjusted as per industry recognised book valuation guides. In the event of non-fulfilment of any of the foregoing conditions, other than (e) the Seller shall be discharged from any obligation to accept the said used vehicle or to make any allowance in respect thereof, and the Purchaser shall discharge in cash the price of the goods to be supplied by the Seller.



In the case of a Direct Purchase, the valuation/appraisal is guaranteed for 48hrs from the original time of the purchase offer being made, this is to allow enough time for payment and drop off to occur, after which a full revaluation/appraisal must be completed.

8. Any notice given hereunder must be in writing and sent by post to the residence or place of business of the person to whom it is addressed and shall be deemed to have been received in due course of post.

9. Notwithstanding the provisions of this agreement the Purchaser must have an approved, underwritten finance agreement in place at the point of order. Upon the purchase of the goods by such finance company, the preceding clauses of this agreement except clause 3(b) shall cease to have effect, but any used vehicle for which an allowance was thereunder agreed to be made to the Purchaser shall be bought by the Seller at a price equal to such allowance, upon the condition set forth in clause 8 above (save that in (c), (d) and (e) there of all references to "delivery" or "delivered" in relation to "the goods" shall be construed as meaning delivery or delivered by the Seller to or to the order of the finance company) and the Seller shall be accountable to the finance company on behalf of the Purchaser for the said price and any deposit paid to him under this agreement.

10. Autotransact notice: due to the live nature of our vehicle stock, any deposits placed via the Autotransact are always subject to the car being confirmed as available and not already sold, this is necessary due to some of our stock systems not being fully synchronised in real time. We will confirm within 48 hours.
