As the weather continues to warm up, you’ll be hitting the road for some fun in the sun. However, if you’re like the rest of us, you’ve barely moved your vehicle so it might be a little messy from the winter months. So this week we are here to help you get your Volkswagen back into tip-top shape just in time for your next getaway! Whether that means taking out the closet of clothes you have in there, replacing winter supplies with summer supplies, or a full gut, we’ve got you covered with 4 simple steps below! Check it out and get road trip ready today! Before you hit the road it might be a good idea to pop open the hood of your vehicle and see what’s going on underneath! It’s important to know your fluid level is properly full, your battery is fully charged, and no other issues are occurring. If you find your Volkswagen is in need of maintenance or a repair, no problem! Our service department is open and ready to help you with whatever you need! Just schedule an appointment or give us a call today! Toss The Old & Organize The New: Take everything out of the car, including car seats, music, and miscellaneous items stored in the glove box and door pockets. Don't forget the trunk and cargo area! Organize the rest of the items into three piles: stuff you use all the time, things you use occasionally, and items you might need in an emergency. Whatever doesn't fall into these categories should be stored in your home or garage. Or even tossed out! For Real, It’s Time To Say Goodbye: Ask yourself, "How do I use my car?" Do you basically live out of your car? Maybe you’re a parent with two toddlers in car seats or a salesman who travels with a trunkload of samples. Whatever it is, figure it out. Prioritize Depending upon your needs, go through your three piles and prioritize the most important items in each group And just like seasonal clothes in a closet, many items such as ice scrapers and emergency kits should be stored back into your vehicle Contain Loose objects in the car lead to disorganization and mess. In the event of a sudden stop or a crash, they can also damage your car or, worse, injure your occupants. Get yourself a good organizer to keep all of your items concise and easy to access. We’re Open! Schedule An Appointment NOW!
