Kinston has no Volkswagen store of its own. Ours is about 30 miles west on US-70, straight through La Grange, no beltline and no detour.
About 30 to 40 minutes from downtown KinstonWhy Kinston Drivers Point West on US-70
Kinston runs on shift work. The aerospace payroll at the North Carolina Global TransPark and the 1,000 plus people at UNC Health Lenoir do not keep banker's hours, and neither do we. Here is what the drive west actually buys you.
Thirty Miles on Interstate Grade Road
The Wayne and Lenoir county stretch of US-70 already meets interstate standards. The Federal Highway Administration approved the I-42 designation on it, so the run from Kinston is four lanes and median divided most of the way.
We Open at 7:30 on Weekdays
Global TransPark shifts and hospital rotations do not wait for a 9:00 a.m. showroom. A 7:30 a.m. weekday open means a Kinston owner can drop a car, sign paperwork, and still be back across the county line early.
Two Sport Durst Lots, One Street
Sport Durst Volkswagen sits at 3501 McLain Street and Sport Durst Mazda of Goldsboro sits at 3405 McLain Street. If you are cross shopping, one trip from Kinston covers both instead of two.
Volkswagen Service Without the Coast Run
Warranty work, recalls and scheduled maintenance are handled here with genuine Volkswagen parts. For a Kinston owner that is 30 miles west instead of a longer haul in the other direction.
Do the Paperwork Before You Burn the Gas
The finance application is online. Fill it out at your kitchen table in Kinston and the 60 mile round trip becomes one trip instead of three. Ask about current Volkswagen offers when you call.

Downtown Kinston has spent decades rebuilding Queen Street, and the Global TransPark keeps adding aerospace jobs on the other side of town. Neither of those runs on a 9 to 5 clock. Here is how our hours line up against a Lenoir County schedule.

Early Start, Long Weeknight, Full Saturday
The 7:30 a.m. weekday open is the one that matters most from Kinston. Leave home around 7:00 and you are first in the service lane, which beats losing a whole day to a 60 mile round trip.
The 8:00 p.m. weekday close covers second shift. If you clock out at the Global TransPark or finish a rotation at UNC Health Lenoir in the late afternoon, there is still time to drive over and take something out on US-70.
Saturday runs 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., which is the slot most Lenoir Community College students and weekend shoppers use. We are closed Sunday, so plan the trip for a different day.
Visiting Sport Durst Volkswagen from Kinston
Everything a first-time visitor from Lenoir County usually wants to know before pulling out of the driveway.
