TDI Blowout!
We are currently overstocked with TDI (Turbo Diesel Injection) inventory and we need to sell it off by tomorrow to earn additional allocation for the summer selling season. We currently have 24 Jetta TDI sedans, 5 TDI Sportwagens, 5 TDI Golfs, and 4 TDI Touaregs in stock. We are willing to accept offers on these high demand vehicles like never before. If you want to get up to 44 MPG and a $1,700 Federal Tax Rebate now is the time to purchase a Volkswagen TDI.

Reduced Service Pricing!
Great news! After much feedback from our customers stating that they perceived that their Volkswagens were expensive to maintain we are doing something about it at the dealer level.
Effective today we have drastically reduced our prices on maintenance services. You can click the link below to see the prices on most all of our services (page is in the process of being changed so it may not reflect new prices yet). You can contact one of our friendly Service Professionals for the current prices until the website is updated at 888-536-1298. We have reduced both the labor time we charge for these maintenances as well as the labor rate. In many instances we have cut our stated labor rate by 40%.
This is in an effort to keep customers in the Volkswagen product as well as to keep customers servicing their vehicles at our dealership instead of third party shops. We have shopped the competition including small garages and quick lube spots and we are competitive with all and much less than any other dealer in town. We hope to see you in the service drive soon!

Toyota, Toyota, Toyota?
What to think of these Toyota recalls?
It looks like the manufacturer's reputation for incredible quality has been tarnished as a recent pole shows that consumer purchase consideration for the brand has fallen over 20%. This is the largest decrease of any manufacture ever, and more than the decrease Chrysler and GM felt when they asked for a tax payer bailout.
I am glad to be a part of a manufacture that puts safety first. VW has had a break override system on their vehicles for years. This means even if the gas pedal was to be entrapped that the brake pedal will override the gas causing the vehicle to brake as normal even if there is pressure on the gas pedal.

VW elected me to join their national dealer council. This is great news for our customers and the region. I will now have monthly access to VW's top executives like Stefan Jacoby and Mark Barnes. From both the consumer and dealer side please let me know if their are any issues that should be presented to Volkswagen of America.

Emich VW Closes 2009 with Great Success
Congratulations to all departments for a great 2009 despite the economic conditions.
The new vehicle department finished the year up over 16% in a market that was down over 30%. We were the #1 VW dealership in Colorado by over 200 units!!! We were also recognized for being in the top 25% in the nation for customer service.
The used vehicle department finished the year 12th in the nation for Certified Pre-Owned sales. We were able to sell 26% more used vehicles in 2009 over 2008.
The service department actually gained customers in a market that saw 3000 customers defect to non-dealership service facilities. We also continued to be a top performer in customer satisfaction.
The parts department grew their business leaps and bounds in 2009. Good job to John Morse and his team for increasing their parts sales year over year by over 20%.
We learned yesterday that Emich VW will be recognized by VW as a "Generation's Best" dealer for our performance in all departments in 2009. Congrats team!

Top Ranking Sales Month
Congratulations to the new vehicle department for selling 58 new Volkswagens in October. The great sales month ranks us as one of the top 6% of VW dealerships in the nation in terms of new VW sales. This is our highest ranking sales month since we purchased the dealership in 2006. Keep up the great work and continue to out sell most of the other Denver dealers by nearly 3 to 1.

Turbo R32 gets a little faster
Our turbo R32 turbo kit has been updated to Stage III however we ran slower than expected in our recent 1/4 race. Unfortunately we think we are running less than 10 PSI in turbo boost. Hopefully if we change the wastegate spring we will be able to run 15 PSI boost and get our 1/4 mile time down to 12 seconds.
