It’s no secret that cars are complex, and if you don’t know a lot about cars, other than it gets you from point A to point B then, the chance you know the different filters in your vehicle is slim. No big deal, that’s why this week’s blog is dedicated to helping you learn more about your vehicle! With springtime right around the corner, it’s a great idea to change out your air filters! But did you know you have both Cabin Air Filters and Engine Air Filters? So when are you suppose to change them? Are they the same? How do you change them? All great questions! You can find the answers below and if you need help or want a professional to change them for you, be sure to schedule your service appointment today!
Two Types Of Filters:
Cabin Air Filter: Usually the cabin air filter is located right in your glove compartment or beneath your dashboard. This will need to be replaced regularly to avoid polluted air from coming into your vehicle, and more importantly, being breathed in by you.
Engine Air Filter: The engine air filter prevents dust, dirt, debris, etc from getting into your engine, which could cause serious damage if that were to happen.
How Often Should They Be Changed?
Knowing when to change your air filter is important to you and your vehicle’s health! It is important to check your owner’s manual for this answer because every car is different, but the rule of thumb is to change after every 12,00-15,000 miles. But it is suggested to change them after pollen season so that allergens are pushed into your cabin once the filter starts to deteriorate.
King Volkswagen is your go-to for all things spring service/ maintenance! After a long winter season, your VW is probably in need of some well deserved TLC and the professionals here at King VW are ready to make it happen!

Don’t forget to take a peek at our specials so you can save money as well as time when you shop with us!
- Your driver’s license: Your I.D. is proof that you are a legally registered driver, this is important since you have to drive off the lot. Your driver’s license is a way to identify that the check or another form of payment is actually yours, too.
- Your payment form: Whether it is a bank, credit union, or personal check, pre-approved loan, or any other payment form – be sure to bring it. If you are planning to put money towards a down payment you will need some way to pay for it.
- Proof of insurance: In order to drive your new vehicle off the lot, you will need proof of insurance. It’s a good idea to call your insurance company ahead of time and add the new vehicle to your existing policy. You’ll need the car’s VIN number to set this up. You can also call from the dealership and have them fax or email the insurance card to the dealership.
- Title/ Registration for your trade-in: If you are trading in a vehicle, be sure to bring the title. If you have a co-signer or a lien against the car, get the appropriate signature ahead of time. This part can be tricky and sometimes causes a hold-up. Give the dealership a call if you are unsure how to go about this. Also, you will need a copy of your current registration.
- Loan account number: If you are trading in a vehicle and still owe on your loan, bring the loan account number. This number is on one of your pay stubs. You can also call the lender beforehand and ask how to facilitate the transaction.
Travel Tips For You & Your Pup! | Gaithersburg, MD
Spring is on the way and we’re confident that you’ve probably been planning out your spring getaway. If you’re like me, you’re probably feeling guilty about having to leave your furry friend at home. Well, don’t stress because we have a solution for you! This week we have some tips and tricks that are sure to help you and your pup have a smooth road trip! But before you hit the road for some fun in the sun, be sure to schedule a service appointment to ensure you don’t run into any issues down the road! Looking to save big on service? Be sure to check out our service specials today!
Before you leave to make sure to pack:
Lead, Collar, Leash, and ID tag: The last thing you want to happen is your dog to getaway in a place he doesn’t know, but be prepared for the worst. Make sure you have everything you’ll need to keep your dog from escaping, and everything you’ll need in case they do.
Food, water, bowls: Bring more than you think! The last thing you want to do on vacation is run to the grocery store to find dog food. Tell yourself the same thing you did when you overpacked clothes…YOU MIGHT NEED IT!
Blankets and baggies: Bring blankets for bedding, and warmth. Bring waste disposable bags for parking lot rest stops (You wouldn’t want to accidentally step in that, would you?)
Old washcloths: For those pups that get down in the dirt, don’t stress about your car seats, just bring washcloths to clean off messy paws
Crates and restraints: Some dogs love the car! They jump right in, stick their head out the window, and let their ears fly! But unfortunately, that’s not a good idea. Even if your dog is usually a happy traveler, it isn’t safe for them to roam freely throughout the car, in the case of an accident.
The crate isn’t going to work for your dog? Try this out!
- A harness that is fastened to a seat safety belt
- It provides the dog some freedom but restrains the dog in an accident.
- Be sure to buy a harness that’s specifically designed to be used with safety belts.
Break time is important: You might be down to take on a long drive little to no breaks but your dog isn’t. Plan on taking frequent stops like you would if you were traveling with a small child. Letting your dog out for potty breaks and to run around will burn off some pent-up energy, making you and your dogs ride my easier!
Check with the vet: If this is your dog’s first trip you might want to talk to your vet and see if there is any medication that can help with motion sickness and anxiety.

Are you looking to slip behind the wheel of a shiny new Volkswagen vehicle? Well then, there is no better time to get your old ride off your hands! Trade your old ride in for a new one here at King Volkswagen! If you have never traded-in a vehicle before you would benefit from the helpful tips you’ll find below! Once you have completed the necessary steps below, be sure to value your trade from the comfort of your own home with our easy to use online trade-in form and get an instant offer today!
Do some Competitive Research
- Like I said before it is important to be informed before heading to the dealership
- Visit multiple websites and check the value of similar vehicles with the same mileage while monitoring e-commerce sites to follow your car model’s auction price
- Print all the information you find
Look for promotions
- Offer on your trade-in can be affected by several factors, including current inventory and the likelihood the car will sell
Fix the dings
- You want to make the car look as new as possible and if that means spending a little money to get those dings on the exterior touched up it might be worth it if that means you’ll get more money back for your trade-in.
Stage your car
- Just like selling your home, your vehicle should be as clean as you can get. Yes, dealers can tell if the vehicle’s performance is in good shape or not regardless of how clean it is but the better it looks could really go the extra mile when it comes to the offer price.
Have Receipts handy
- Keeping records and receipts. If so, when the day arrives to finally trade your vehicle, you can show the dealer receipts for all the purchases and repair work done on the car. If the dealer questions the condition of a certain engine part or area of the car, you can backup your side with
Don’t Settle
- Don’t agree to a deal if you don’t feel comfortable with it
