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

We get it, life is crazy busy at times and when you’re living a fast-paced life, the last thing on your mind is to keep your car clean. However, your car is where you spend a good portion of your day… whether it’s driving to and from work, running errands, or meeting up with friends. Luckily for you, we have some tips on how you can get your vehicle cleaned up and looking fresh to death in four simple steps! So take a few minutes to check out the tips below and get started on getting your Volkswagen looking fresh again! Oh, and if you need maintenance help for you VW, be sure to check out our available maintenance packages right here at King VW!  

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 into 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.

Service is just a normal thing you have to do as a car owner, and we understand it’s not the most fun and can even be expensive at times, but if you want your vehicle to continue to perform and be reliable, then you need to regularly service your ride! Lucky for you, King Volkswagen offers monthly service specials that help you save big on big, small, or whatever size service your Volkswagen might need! Plus, our team is jam-packed with certified professionals that know the ins and outs of your vehicle, so you can be confident that when you leave your vehicle with us it’s in good hands!

‘Tis the season for a new year and a few New Year’s resolutions! We know you may have already decided on your own resolutions, but what about your ride? Have you set any resolutions or goals for your vehicle? If not, don’t worry, we have you covered. Check out our list below and be sure to put them to good use in the new year! And don’t forget to schedule your next appointment with us below and snag a service coupon today so you can save a little bit of cash while servicing your ride in 2020! 

1. Don’t Neglect Car Maintenance

• If you didn’t keep up with your regular car maintenance in 2019,  your first new year’s resolution should be to call your mechanic! Yes, I know keeping up with car maintenance can be a pain, but when you don’t keep up with it bigger problems can arise. And it isn’t cheap.
•  
• Schedule a service appointment today or stop into King Volkswagen today for your service needs! 

2. Learn To Do Basic Maintenance Yourself

• 2020 is the year of DIY and if you’re tired scheduling maintenance and spending money on service, there is no better time than now to make it a new year’s resolution to learn how to do it yourself!
• Start with something small, like learning to replace your windshield wipers. It usually needs to be done twice a year and is important for road safety. It’s an easy goal for the new year to accomplish quickly.

3. End Distracted Driving

• According to the DMV, on average 9 people are killed by distracted driving every day. Most people think that distracted driving means texting and driving but it actually refers to anything that can take your full attention away from the road. This includes reaching for something, changing the music, using an app, checking your GPS or map, taking a photo, checking email or posting to social media, eating and drinking, and even putting on makeup/grooming
• Make this resolution to drive less distracted to keep you and others on the road safer.

4. Keep Your Car Clean

• For some of you keeping your car clean comes naturally, but for the rest of us, it is a daily challenge. If your car is a mess going into the new year learn how to declutter your car and prevent future clutter.
  • First, remove everything from your car that you do not need.
  • Second, organize those important papers in your car and rid of the papers you don’t need. Throw out old receipts, coupons, and other miscellaneous papers. Then find the important documents like your registration, insurance, and owner’s manual and put them in a safe spot.
  • Third, give your car a deep clean after you’ve decluttered it. Vacuum the seats and floor, wipe down windows, and take it through a car wash.

We’ve got a secret to tell you! Did you know right now is the best time for you to slip behind the wheel of a new Volkswagen? Not only is the Volkswagen Sign Then Drive Event happening that allows you to pay $0* on a down payment, security deposit, first month’s lease payment, due at signing fee, but there is even more reason right now is the best time to treat yourself, despite the holiday season! What do you have to lose? Check out 5 reasons you should be shopping with us right now and then hurry into King Volkswagen to make your dream Volkswagen a reality! 

New models: We have new models coming in every week and limited space which means we need to sell 2019 models for the new year models coming in. September, October, November, and December are the months that manufacturers are typically trying to make room for new models on dealer lots. Come December, prices will hit a low for the year. For a buyer, these factors work in your favor to save money.

Holiday Shopping: Yeah we know, thinking of buying a car during the most expensive holiday season might sound crazy, but during the holiday season cars continuously lower. This is where Black Friday sales have kicked in, as well as low prices in December. 

Holiday Bonuses: More than half of Americans will receive a monetary end-of-year bonus. With a little extra cash coming in, it might be time to say goodbye to your old ride and hello to a new reliable one.

Smooth Commuting: There might be a sense of worry about whether your older vehicle can make it through another tough winter. If year after year you worry about commuting in the winter weather, it might be time to stop in and get yourself a reliable vehicle that can get you through the weather. 

Having the upper hand: When traffic is down at a dealership, salespeople can usually take more time to explain in-depth about a car you are interested in, show you similar models, review features, safety concerns and more. You might also have the upper hand due to a lack of customers and win an unbeatable deal!

‘Tis the season of giving, but it’s important that you remember to give to yourself too this holiday season! We know you’ve been eyeing that Volkswagen that you’ve been longing for, and we think there is no better time to slip behind the wheel. Trust us, we know you’re busy buying gifts for your loved ones, but when you shop at King Volkswagen and take advantage of our new December specials, making your dream ride a reality has never been so easy! So take a peek at our brand new offers below, and if you find an offer that piques your interest (we’re confident you will), be sure to schedule a test drive with us to get your next adventure started today!
