Snow is falling and it’s starting to look like a winter wonderland outside, so we thought it was the perfect time to refresh you all on some winter driving tips! Driving in the snow can be stressful, scary, and overall not a good time. We do want to urge all readers to avoid travel if they can during snowstorms, however, we understand this isn’t always possible. So, if you have to hit the road during a winter storm, we’ve got you covered! Below you can find winter driving tips for snowy drives, long drives, and everyday drives! I know what you’re thinking, you are no stranger to the snow, but it never hurts to refresh your memory on the best practices for winter driving! And if you’re looking to start your search for a new Nissan, simply head over to our website to view our entire inventory and schedule a test drive today!

Tips For Driving In The Snow:

• Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Applying the gas slowly to accelerate is the best method for gaining traction and avoiding skids.
• Drive slowly. Everything takes longer on snow-covered roads. Accelerating, stopping, turning – nothing happens as quickly as on dry pavement. Give yourself time to maneuver by driving slowly.
• The normal dry pavement following distance of three to four seconds should be increased to eight to ten seconds
• Know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, the best way to stop is threshold braking.
• Don’t stop if you can avoid it.
• Don’t stop going up a hill. There’s nothing worse than trying to get moving up a hill on an icy road.
• Make it know what kind of driving assistance you have (AAA, Roadside Assistance, etc.)

Everyday Driving Tips: 

• Avoid driving while you’re fatigued.
• Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as a garage.
• Make certain your tires are properly inflated.
• Keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid gas line freeze-up.
• If possible, avoid using your parking brake in cold, rainy, and snowy weather.
• Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface (wet, ice, sand).
• Always look and steer where you want to go.
• Use your seat belt every time you get into your vehicle.

Long-Distance Driving Tips: 

• Watch Weather Reports
• Service your vehicle before hitting the road
• Keep at least half a tank at all times
• If you become snow-bound, stay with your vehicle. It provides temporary shelter and makes it easier for rescuers to locate you.
• Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna or place a cloth at the top of a rolled-up window to signal distress, if needed.
• Make sure the exhaust pipe isn’t clogged with snow, ice, or mud if you slide off the road

It’s a new year, which means we are trying to do better than the year before. And a great way to keep your resolutions to start with small things. One simple resolution you can start with is taking better care of your vehicle! We’ve talked many times about servicing your vehicle regularly, but this week we are going to talk about something a little different! We know life gets crazy and even though it feels like you just cleaned out your car last week, it’s actually been months and it’s a mess! It’s okay, it happens to the best of us. That’s why this week we are here to help you get your car sparkly clean and organized in only four simple steps! So take a peek at our helpful hints below, and if you’re just not feeling like you want to maintain your vehicle, we totally understand and want to help! Just check out our maintenance packages for your Volkswagen and schedule an appointment today! 

Step 1: Sort and clean

• 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.

Step 2: Analyze 

• Ask yourself, “How do I use my car?”
• Are you the taxi driver? 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.

Step 3: 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 in your vehicle 

Step 4: Contain your needs

• 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.

It’s almost time to conquer 2021, and the best way to do that is to set your intentions with New Year’s resolutions! Whether you’ve set some resolutions for the new year or you’re still trying to decide, we have you covered right here on this week’s blog! We have listed out 10 of our most common resolutions amongst our team and we want you to take part in it with us! So, take a peek at our list and choose which is going to help you tackle the new year! Let’s get started! 

10 New Year’s Resolutions: 

• Read more books (one per month)
• Less screen time on your devices

• Plan a vacation with friends or family 
• Exercise more outdoors 
• Drink more water

Hello, December! It’s officially the holiday season, and we know the next couple of weeks are going to be pretty hectic for us all as we run around trying to find the perfect gift for our loved ones. But this week your friends here at King VW have the perfect gift for your loved ones that drive a Volkwagen…or even some great gift ideas for yourself! Whether you’re looking to accessorize and make your VW all your own, or you’re looking for winter accessories/parts to give your ride some edge this winter, King VW has what you’re looking for! So take a look at our gift guide below, and head over to our service specials page to see if you can score any savings on the parts or accessories you want most! 

Air Freshener: If it’s been a while since your car last had that new car smell, treat the interior with one of many air fresheners on the market. Or take it a step further and detail your vehicle to give it the TLC it deserves and that new car feel you love. 

Floor Mats: If you’re tired of all the mess that snow and ice can make of your car’s carpet, consider spoiling your car with the holiday gift of new floor mats. Floor mats designed for the winter hold all that moisture better than the traditional carpet mats that came with your car.

Snow Tires: You can never go wrong with getting yourself some snow tires. Your car will be ready to go when you are and ready to stop without an issue in every condition!

Oil Change: The winter is just beginning and we know we haven’t seen the work of it just yet. Making sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape to handle whatever the winter might throw at it is important! That’s why an oil change could be the perfect gift for your vehicle. 

Windshield Wipers: This is a pretty inexpensive gift if your budget is tight, but still a great gift for your vehicle. With snow, rain, hail, and everything in between, you need your wipers in tip-top shape.
