The short answer
At Autobedrijf Willemsbrug in Rotterdam-IJsselmonde, your Cupra gets a minor or major service according to the manufacturer’s service schedule. If your Cupra is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, the warranty stays valid as long as the servicing follows the manufacturer’s schedule, even if you do not go to the dealer.
The price depends on the model, the engine and the mileage. Call +31 10 479 00 00 with your registration number and mileage, and we will tell you in advance what the service costs. You can also visit our workshop.
If you combine a major service with the APK (MOT), the inspection is free. You drop off your Cupra Monday to Friday between 8.00 and 8.30 am, or on Saturday at 9.00 am. If extra work is needed, we call you first.

Why have your Cupra serviced at Autobedrijf Willemsbrug?
We are an independent garage for all makes and an RDW-approved APK station. We service your Cupra to the manufacturer’s specification, with parts and oil that suit your car.
Cupra uses Volkswagen Group technology. We know the TSI engines, the DSG automatic gearbox and the e-Hybrid drive well. Many Cupras are still young. You are welcome to have your car serviced with us during the warranty period too.
What servicing does the manufacturer specify for your Cupra?
Like the other Volkswagen Group brands, Cupra has two types of servicing. With flexible servicing (LongLife), the car tells you when it needs an oil change. With fixed servicing, the car gets a service every year or after a set number of kilometres. Fixed servicing is the better choice if you make a lot of short trips or put the engine under heavy load.
You can see which plan your Cupra has in the service book or on the dashboard. Flexible servicing needs oil with a special VW standard. We use the oil that matches your engine and your service plan.
We use your registration number to look up which service your Cupra needs and, where possible, we read the service indicator. After the service, we reset the service reminder, if our equipment can do this.
Minor or major service for your Cupra?
Which service your car needs depends on the model, the engine, the age and the mileage. A minor and a major service usually include the following:
| Part | Minor service | Major service |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil and oil filter | Change and replace | Change and replace |
| Fluids | Check and top up if needed | Check, change the brake fluid if the schedule requires it |
| Brakes and tyres | Check for wear | Thorough check, including brake discs and brake pads |
| Filters | Check | Replace the air filter and cabin filter according to the schedule |
| Spark plugs (petrol) | Not standard | Replace at the manufacturer’s interval |
| Battery | Check | Test with a battery tester |
| Timing belt (if the engine has one) | Not standard | Check whether the belt is due for replacement at the set interval |
| APK | Book separately | Free if you combine it with a major service |

What do we check when servicing your Cupra?
At every service we follow the manufacturer’s schedule. For your Cupra, we also pay extra attention to these points:

Servicing a Cupra e-Hybrid or electric Cupra
The electric Born, Tavascan and Raval have no engine oil, spark plugs or timing belt. The Born uses the same technology as the Volkswagen ID.3. They still need servicing: brakes, brake fluid, tyres, suspension, cabin filter and battery cooling according to the Cupra schedule. On the e-Hybrid, the petrol engine gets oil and filters according to the schedule.
Our mechanics hold a GMTO certificate (the Dutch qualification for working on high-voltage systems). This means they are trained to work safely on the high-voltage systems of hybrid and electric cars. Read more about servicing hybrid and electric cars (in Dutch).
How much does a service for your Cupra cost?
The price of a service differs from car to car. The model, the engine, the specified oil and the mileage determine what needs to be done and which parts are needed. That is why we do not give an amount on this page.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty on your Cupra stay valid?
Yes. Having your car serviced at an independent garage does not void your manufacturer’s warranty, as long as the servicing follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses suitable parts and oil. This follows from the European rules for the motor industry. Extra warranties or mobility services from the brand may be linked to servicing at a dealer. We record the service in our system and, if you have a service book, in that too. You receive an invoice listing all the work. Keep it in a safe place.
