Skills Required

There are distinct skills required to become a Volkswagen technician. Our technicians have strong automotive repair skills, as well as problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate effectively with customers. They’re also able to diagnose problems and utilize diagnostic software and specialized tools.

Mastering these skills is the first step toward pursuing formal training and certification.

Formal Training Required

Volkswagen Certified technicians must complete formal training at an accredited trade school or a community college. Some of our technicians completed apprenticeships and training programs right here at a Volkswagen dealership.

This training taught them about Volkswagen-specific technology and systems and gave them hands-on experience. Many also hold an ASE Certification, a professional credential from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) that verifies technical knowledge and expertise.

On the Job

Our technicians benefit from working alongside other expert technicians, competitive pay, and a state-of-the-art environment. We provide paid training, uniform assistance, holiday pay, vacation and sick days, and more. They also continue attending regular VW-specific training classes to stay current on the ever-evolving Volkswagen technology, ensuring every repair reflects the latest standards.
