Garages and repair shops can remain open during lockdown in England

Following Government guidance, ‘garages and repair shops’ as well as places for ‘storage and distribution’ for parts can remain open during the four-week lockdown in England that begins on Thursday 5 November.

This means that the Paint and Body network can continue to operate and TPS Centres will be on hand to supply Volkswagen Group-approved parts and consumables.

Volkswagen Group Head Office will continue to operate and so will be available to support Approved Paint and Body Centres as normal

The Paint and Body performance management team will continue to operate, but will not be undertaking site visits during lockdown,

The National Learning Centre, as an educational establishment, will remain open for face-to-face courses. The building and classrooms have COVID-safe procedures in place.

While each business has to consider its own employees, families and customers in light of the latest lockdown, Volkswagen Group remains open for business with its valued network and customers.
