Service Initiated Roadside Assistance (SIRA)

If you service your Volkswagen at an authorised Volkswagen Dealer, you can receive 12 months Service Initiated Roadside Assistance1

To be eligible for SIRA your vehicle must be in a roadworthy condition and have the Volkswagen standard scheduled service carried out by a participating authorised Volkswagen Dealer.

Following the service schedule ensures your vehicle receives the love and care it deserves. As such, vehicles presented to an authorised Volkswagen Dealer will be eligible for a SIRA Policy up to 42 days after, or 2,500 kilometres above the service schedule milestone. If previous services were missed or completed outside our network, you will also be eligible when you return to an authorised Volkswagen Dealer for a standard scheduled service.

Vehicles that are more than 9 years old from the original new car warranty start date, are not eligible for SIRA. The SIRA policy will expire on or after 10 years from the original new car warranty start date, and no further SIRA policy will not be activated. No more than 9 SIRA Policies can be applied to a vehicle in its lifetime.

I’ve had an accident. What do I do?

In the event of a road accident, there are a number of steps you should follow to protect yourself, your vehicle and other road users.

Had An Accident
  1. Immediately turn off your ignition and switch on your hazard lights so other road users are aware you’re in an emergency.
  2. If serious injury has occurred, a driver did not stop, or a vehicle was towed away after the accident call 000 immediately.
  3. Exchange details with other drivers involved in the accident, including their name, address, phone number, insurance company, license number and vehicle registration.
  4. Carefully inspect the scene of the accident and record as many details as you can with your camera.
  5. If your Volkswagen needs to be towed, you have the right to decide who will tow it and where it will be towed to. The Volkswagen Approved Repairer is the best option to repair your vehicle
