Volkswagen's mission is to manufacture automobiles that set world standards for safety and performance. In addition, the company is also committed to making environmentally friendly automobiles. It was as late as in 2008 that VW announced the opening of a new production facility in the U.S. Considering the increased interest shown by the company in U.S. markets and the popularity of the brand here, it is very likely that VW will leave a very clear imprint in the auto mobile industry in coming years. For owners of VWs, finding reliable, effective and affordable Volkswagen windshield replacement and auto glass repair should become easier and easier as years go by.

Affordable Volkswagen windshield replacement and auto glass repair makes these cars quite easy to maintain. For example, replacing the front passenger vent on your VW double door sedan may actually cost you about the same the same change on a Ford two door sedan. Considering that the Ford is one of the cheapest cars when it comes to auto glass replacements, this is significant indeed. Changing the front passenger door of your VW four door sedan will cost you about the same as making the same replacement on a Honda.

VW makes sedans, convertible, compacts, wagons, SUVs, and mini vans. Each of these vehicles has distinct auto glass needs. The GTI has front and rear door glass, windshield and back pane making up a total of just 6 auto glass parts. The Beetle shares a similar compact body size but the tapering shape alters the auto glass design as well. The Jetta needs additional rear vents making up a total of 8 auto glass parts for this vehicle.

The Tiguan is a roomy SUV that comes with rear quarter glass and rear vents in addition to the rear doors, front doors, windshield and back glass. Each model needs a different shape and size of glass. A technician with adequate experience in this field should be able to access the perfect parts and glass for your VW well in time if you mention the model and year of your vehicle. This ensures that your Volkswagen windshield replacement and auto glass repair is completed in the minimum possible time.

An expert technician will also be able to salvage the most number of parts during the Volkswagen windshield replacement and auto glass repair. This keeps your costs low since you can simply reuse the parts instead of paying for new ones. But to do this the technician must be aware of the areas where damage is most likely to occur during the glass removal process. For example, in the VW Tiguan, the back glass is positioned so close to the pinchweld wall that special care is required to remove it without damaging the wall.

In the Beetle, the glass is not flat but has slight curvature which needs to be taken into account during installation. In the Jetta, the vent assembly frame is prone to damage. Only a technician who has worked with similar vehicles before will be aware of these vulnerabilities and also know how to prevent damage. That is why it is important to only entrust your VW to a well established auto glass service provider.

Founded in 1937 by the German Labor Front, the Volkswagen Group has expanded from its original marque Volkswagen to include Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini. In 2009, the brand further expanded to form an integrated automotive group with Porsche. Together, Porsche and Volkswagen became the biggest car manufacturing group in the world surpassing even Toyota.

Many considered the Volkswagen to be an important symbol of regeneration in West Germany following the war. Re-formed as a trust that was controlled by the West German government and the State of Lower Saxony, Heinrich Nordhoff was hired in 1948 to run to Volkswagen factory. The man that was often credited with ensuring the survival of Volkswagen through the war and the hard times following the war, British Army Major Ivan Hirst, left in 1949.

One of the most popular Volkswagen models has been the Type 1 which went on to best Ford's legendary Model T to take the record for the most produced single make of a vehicle in history. You may not know it by the Type 1 model name is was branded with. You likely know it instead by the Beetle or Bug – maybe even the Punch Buggy. The fact that you are likely more familiar with the nickname than the brand name is a great example of pop-culture phenomenon at its best.
