Lower costs of maintenance.

Sky-high praise.


According to a study conducted by Vincentric, a select number of Volkswagen models have a lower cost of maintenance than key competitors in the same category like Honda and Toyota. In the study, costs of maintenance based on a comparison of recommended maintenance services over a 5 year period and replacement costs of wear items were considered. The study was completed for midsize SUV, compact SUV, midsize sedan, and compact sedan segments and Volkswagen performed very well in all, see below to find out how we did.

Are you looking to buy a new vehicle with a low cost of ownership?

At Coastal Volkswagen, we know buying a new vehicle can be a complicated process with hours of research devoted to finding the "perfect car". Consumers are looking at multiple things like safety, budget, insurance costs, body styles, and of course ongoing cost of ownership. When shoppers in Norwell, Scituate, and Braintree look to buy a new car, not only should upfront dealership costs be considered, but long-term costs like routine maintenance also need to be top of mind.

After you've settled on a new model you love, do you know what the routine maintenance costs are like brake replacements and oil changes? Recently, Vincentric conducted a study to show which vehicles had the lowest cost of ownership in various segments like compact SUV, midsize sedan, and midsize SUV. Coastal Volkswagen was pleased to see that many Volkswagen models topped the list. If you are shopping for a new vehicle and hoping for low cost of maintenance, then you should look to models like the Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, Jetta, Passat, Arteon, and Tiguan. The team at Coastal Volkswagen has been proudly serving the Braintree, Quincy, Plymouth, Norwell, and Scituate communities for years and would be thrilled to help you get behind the wheel of a new Volkswagen.
