March is coming to an end and April is creeping in. You know what that means - it’s time to jam out to your favorite song with the windows down! Yes, spring brings the warmer weather and a sneak peek of summer. However, driving during the spring months can be just as dangerous as driving in the winter. No, you don’t have to worry about icy roads or snowstorms, but there are still some things you should keep in mind! When the weather starts getting nice people to start flocking outside. That means it’s important to drive slowly and look out for pedestrians, cyclists, runners, and even road workers! Plus, spring showers can be nice for the plants, but hard for drivers, be sure to watch out for flooding and large potholes to avoid damage to your ride! Check out the rest of our spring driving tips below! And if you’re looking for a new ride for your spring adventures - King Volkswagen is the place to be! Shop our new and  Pre-Owned inventory now and score amazing deals when you shop our new car specials! Be On The Lookout For Potholes: Winter weather takes a big toll on our roadways, which leads to some pretty nasty potholes. If you're speeding down the road and don’t slow down in time and hit a pothole, then chances are that your vehicle is gonna have some serious damage. Damage can include a punctured tire, bent rim, suspension damage, poor alignment, and exhaust system damage. Slow Down For Spring Showers: Did you know that roads are most slippery when it first starts to rain? This is caused by rainwater mixing with contaminants on the road, such as oil and grease. Make sure to increase your following distance to allow for proper braking. Watch For Animals On The Move: Animal activity is up when the weather starts getting nicer. That means keep an eye out and drive slow especially for animals like deer that are known to be out at dusk and dawn. Watch For Pedestrians: Similar to animals, people tend to be out and about more when the weather starts getting warmer. Whether that means there are more walkers, cyclists or kids play hopscotch. Be sure to slow down especially in residential neighborhoods and busy streets. Share The Road With Motorcycles: Spring is when the motorcycle riders come out, and because of their speed and size, they may come in and out of your blind spots quickly. Be sure to listen to the sound of their bike and take a few extra seconds before switching lanes. If you are following a motorcycle, remember to leave a good amount of space in between. Maintain Proper Tire Pressure: During the winter months, your tires lose air due to the cold temperatures, this causes your tire to be under-deflated. Vice-versa, warm weather will cause them to be over-inflated. Each situation can lead to increased wear and poor handling. Inspect Your Tires: Spring will bring the showers and when that happens making sure your tire tread is in shape is important to the quality of your driving. Just like snow, rain makes the road slippery, and having good tires will make or break your driving experience. Remember to use easy tricks like the penny test to check your tire tread and regularly check your tire pressure if your vehicle doesn’t display it for you. Pay Attention In Construction Zones: When the snow washes away and the spring days are here to stay, construction will start up again. One thing to keep in mind is that construction zones ask you to slow down for a reason, do it. Remember to... Be attentive. Construction workers and equipment may suddenly enter the roadway. Traffic patterns can change daily to accommodate the work being done. Understand and follow the signs. Make safe lane changes. Solid lines in construction zones mean that you should stay in your lane. Slow down. Fines may be doubled in construction zones. In addition, slowing down can save a life. Find Your Dream VW Here!

November is in full swing, which means winter will be here before you know it. Before the snow and ice start falling you’re going to want to make sure your vehicle is ready for whatever winter throws its way. If you think your current ride isn’t in shape to get you where you want to go safely this winter, then it might be time for an upgrade! Lucky for you King Volkswagen has a wide variety of new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicles for you to shop! Thinking right now isn’t the time to invest with the holidays right around the corner?

So if you change your mind and are looking to upgrade your current ride, be sure to schedule your test drive online or stop into King VW this month! Reasons To Buy This November Goodbye 2020’s Hello 2021’s As we approach the end of the year, new model year vehicles make their way onto dealerships lots This means dealerships must make room for the incoming inventory. This means finding unbeatable incentives, offers, and savings on remaining inventory shouldn’t be too hard! Thanksgiving/Black Friday Deals Thanksgiving/Black Friday is known for producing HUGE DEALS on just about anything you can purchase. This is no different for car dealerships. It’s not guaranteed, but most dealerships will do a Black Friday savings event to offer money off new vehicles, dropping lease offers, or even low financing. We suggest taking some time to do research on the vehicle you’re looking for, and seeing what kind of sales are being offered during these events! Compact & Mid-Sized Sedan Savings Because of the winter months, SUVs are in high demand, which means you won’t find huge incentives on these types of vehicles. However, if you’re looking for a compact/ mid-sized sedan or hatchback, you might get lucky with deals because fewer shoppers are looking for them this time of year. Sales Quotas Every dealership has a year-end goal, aka a number of vehicles they want to be sold. With the year coming to an end, they will really be pushing to hit their goal. This is good news for shoppers because the dealership might be offering bug deals to help move inventory to meet their quotas! Get Your Dream VW Now!

Going to an open-air, one-way, walk-through haunted forest where mask use is enforced. Pumpkin patches or orchards.

It might be hard to believe, but winter is right around the corner, and before the snow starts falling we want to help you get your Volkswagen prepared for the months ahead. That’s why this week’s blog is all about the essential items you should have in your car before you hit the road this winter! Think of it as a winter emergency kit in case you find yourself broken-down, in an accident, or in need of some minor medical assistance. Take a peek below at our 12 essentials and if you find you’re in need of service or repairs for your VW, give us a call or schedule your appointment online today! Must-Have Winter Accessories: Ice scraper and snow brush With winter right around the corner, it’s crucial to have a sturdy ice scraper and snow brush in your vehicle. Whether you’re leaving work, the mall, the grocery store, etc, snow can obstruct your view, and just using your wipers to clear your view can be dangerous for other drivers when the snow flies off at them. Small/Collapsible shovel Keeping a small or collapsible shovel in your truck can be a lifesaver if you find your vehicle stuck in the snow or if you have to clear a path to drive Gloves, hats, scarves, etc. You have the snow brush and shovel, but now you need to actually use them. Having extra gloves will be a lifesaver when you have to brush off your vehicle, pump gas, or even change a tire! Blanket Doesn’t everybody have extra blankets lying around at home? Just me? Well, if you have an extra blanket, throw it in your trunk in case you find yourself in an accident having to stand outside, or experience a breakdown in colder temperatures. Emergency flares or reflectors Finding yourself stuck in the snow? Ensure other vehicles can see you with emergency flares or reflectors Rock salt Stuck in the snow? Did ice form around your tires? Gain traction with rock salt, sand, or kitty litter! Spread the material near your tires and in your car’s path to get out of a slippery situation. First aid kit This is an all-year-round necessity, but it’s always good to replenish what you need in your first aid kit Whether your passenger has a small cut or you’re in an accident and need to be bandaged up, a first aid kit is crucial to this list Extra windshield washer fluid Make sure your windshield washer fluid has antifreeze components to prevent it from freezing. Clearing your windshield with fluid will improve visibility in a winter storm. Flashlight We all know it gets dark very early during the winter months. Having a flashlight in your trunk is always a good idea. Whether you need it for maintenance purposes or even to feel safer when walking to and from your vehicle. Jumper cables Cold weather can affect a car’s battery. You can’t start your car if the battery’s dead, which means you won’t be able to use the car’s heater for warmth. Waiting for a jump start in the cold is not fun. You won’t have to wait as long if you have jumper cables with you. Cell phone charger It’s always important to keep your phone charged before hitting the road but with maps, music, and more, your battery can die quickly Keep your phone charged up in case you need to make a call for assistance or need your maps for directions Water and non-perishable snacks Breakdowns are never fun and sometimes happen in the worst place. This means if you find yourself stranded, waiting for a tow truck and it might be a while before you get help, having a snack to hold you over is always helpful Upgrade To A Brand New Volkswagen Today!
