United Tire and Service News

Volkswagen warning lights are your vehicle’s way of telling you something isn't right. The team at United Tire and Service knows how important your VW is to you and that's why our team is highly trained to diagnose and repair any issues that may arise. Whether your vehicle is brand new or has been reliable for years, Volkswagen warning lights are a clear indication that something in your vehicle needs attention. 

Schedule Service

Volkswagen dashboard lights illuminate in three colors: green, yellow, and red. Green lights are good! These are your running lights, turn signals, and shift lock indicators. These lights don’t need the attention of a service provider, they are merely informational. Yellow indicator lights are a sign of a possible issue and you should use caution while driving. Yellow lights need attention, but they are not life-threatening. Red indicator lights are a clear sign that you should stop driving as soon as safely possible. Something serious has happened! Red indicator lights need immediate attention from a service provider, and more often than not your Volkswagen may need to be towed to the nearest United Tire and Service shop.
