Volkswagen India has announced extended support for its owners affected by the floods in the states of Bihar and Assam. The automaker is offering a number of special initiatives including roadside assistance and the affected cars would be transported free of cost to the nearest VW dealer. Customers in Bihar and Assam can avail free RSA by calling on toll free numbers - 1800-102-1155 or 1800-419-1155.
