Jim Ellis Automotive Dealerships

Fuel efficient vehicles are a major topic of conversation in the automotive industry right now and rightfully so.  It's one of the first things that car buyers are looking at when deciding on whether to purchase a new vehicle and with gas prices on a seemingly never ending upward spiral, it's easy to understand why.

 It appears that we've been doing a lot of talking about VW in general over the last month and maybe rightfully so with all of the changes coming down the way.  Specifically, the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle and it's drastic changes that it has in store for Beetle fans and how it's about to change the demographic that has followed it for years. 

VW Research Group has unveiled that they now have technology in place that will allow a vehicle to drive semi-automated on the highway up to 80mph. Referred to as Temporary Auto Pilot, it semi-controls tasks like braking, lane switching, and adaptive cruise control. We've seen the commercials about the vehicles that brake when you're about to hit an object and this takes it to the next level.

VW Research Group has unveiled that?

I am proud to announce that the Jim Ellis Collision Center has been accepted into the Volkswagen-Certified collision Repair Facility Program. We look forward to working with Volkswagen of America and the staffs of our two VW dealerships to provide the best possible collision repair services to our customers.

Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Marietta is proud of the distinction of having three Volkswagen Certified Master Technicians on staff!

"I'm very proud of Tommy, Adam and Jimmy for their commitment to education and training and to our team at Jim Ellis VW of Marietta. I encourage and support all of our technicians in their endeavor to be the best Master factory-trained technician they can be for our deserving Jim Ellis clients."

When asked about the grand opening that was held in the newly remodeled and rebuilt Marietta store on June 10th, Mr. Fantacone said "The event was successful in many ways, but the best comment I heard was from Don Hughes, (beside me in photo) when he told me that this was one of the finest Grand Openings he has ever attended, and that what made it so unique was the great mix of customers, Jim Ellis associates, and manufacturer personnel.  An excellent dynamic when all levels of the auto business meet."

While owners of impacted cars will be contacted directly from the manufacturer, Jimmy Ellis wants to assure customers that we are working together with VW and Audi to ensure that every customer receives individual attention and the top-notch service you expect from Jim Ellis Automotive.
