We are sad to announce that Volkswagen will discontinue the New Beetle in 2019. Cute as it is, apparently the declining sales no longer justify keeping it in production. Without doubt, once discontinued, the New Beetle’s cult following will increase, just as it did for its predecessor. New Beetle was introduced in 1998, with a longer version manufactured since 2011. At Fremont Auto Center we will continue to support your New Beetle – whether you need routine maintenance, diagnostics or major repairs, we are here to help. And if you do not own a Volkswagen Beetle yet – should you decide to purchase one, give us a call BEFORE you buy – so we can perform a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection and give you a detailed report of the state of the vehicle. At this point we foresee no shortage of spare parts, so we fully expect to be able to service and repair your Volkswagen Beetle well into the future
