Proper care and maintenance are key to fewer mechanical problems. And when things do go wrong, the dealership where you bought your car should be the first call. TJ Dolliver, National Parts and Service Marketing Manager at Volkswagen of America, joins the show to talk about the importance of the relationship with your dealer, as well as why the right parts matter when it comes to a repair or replacement.
