,~ PAGE 10, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22 1973, WHITBY FREE PRESS TheVolkswagen Owner's Security B anket and you. While other car makers are busy taking the wraps off their new model cars, Volkswagen has gone one step further and changed the wraps. From the minute you drive away in your '74 Volkswagen, you're covered by our Owner's Security Blanket with Electronic Analysis. It's not just a warranty. It s a commitment to our owners long after they've signed on the dot- ted line. We like to think of it as total transporta- tion because you deserve a car you con count on 365 days a year. And we believe you shouldn't have to keep paying to get what you deserve. Nobody in the car business has any plan like it. Nobody seems to care enough. Or do enough. Except Volkswagen. If you take a little time to read this, you'Il find out how a Volkswagen owner gets the most ad- vanced new car coverage plan in the world free. Our 12 month/20,000 mile guarantee. Most car owners drive about 14,000 miles during the first year. So what earthly good is a 12,000 mile guarantee? Volkswagen's coverage is for 20,000 miles - most car companies don't come near that. This is our guarantee, in plain English: "If you maintain and serv- ice your 1974 Volkswagen as prescribed in the Volkswagen Maintenance Schedule, any factory parts found to be defective in material or workmanship within 12 months or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first (except filters, fluids and lubricants), will be repaired or replaced free of charge by any Canadian or U.S. authorized Volkswagen dealer." - We guarantee against more than just defective parts. Volkswagen's Owner's Security Blanket goes for beyond just guaranteeing against defects. Most car companies won't replace a windshield wiper blade if it wears out. We will. They won't replace a lightbulb. We will. Take things like brake pads and linings. As long as you have them adjusted when your Maintenance Schedule says so, we'll replace them free if they wear out. Same thing goes for clutch linings and batteries. This also covers tires on a pro-rated basis. And spark plugs and points? We change them free at 12,000 miles and we'll honor that no matter how long il takes you to go that distance. This is unheard of in the auto industry. 24 months/24,000 miles. We've gone one step further with insides of our engine and transmission. We guarantee them for two years or 24,000 miles, which- ever comes first. Of course we don't cover defects cau.sed by ^ lack of maintenance or abuse We guarantee our repairs. the When you're running out of warranty, you're still rIot out of luck. We'll make the repair and guarantee the parts and workmanship for an additional 6 months or 6,000 miles. If the repair takes overnight, we'II lend you a car. Moving right along, we're committed to keep you moving. So if you're a qualified owner and you find that a warranty repair is going to take overnight, we'll lend you a free car by ap- pointment, for as long as Ion-a-bug the repair takes. (And we haven't forgotten owners of older VWs. If your car needs a repair and you need a cor, many dealerships will rent you one at a nominal'price.) Express care. How many times have you heard of wait- ing two weeks before you can get a headlight fixed? Not at Volkswagen. With Express Core if we can fix something in less than 30 minutes, well do it while you wait. No appointment needed for these little repairs. Free Electronic check-ups. ElectronicAnalysis can spot things thateven a master mechanic might not see. So we con fix these things while you're still covered by our Owner's Security Blanket. We're in this together. We mode the car. You own the car. So we're in this together. As long as you maintain your new Volkswagen properly we'll do most of the worrying for you. That's what Volkswagen's Owner's Security Blanket is al about - once you're a Volkswagen Owner, we're not going to leave you out in the cold. *Ail of the terms of this warranty are clearly defined in the owner's manual and will be explained by any authorized Volkswagen dealer in Canada.
