Road trips always sound like loads of fun, but not when you’re only a half-hour down the road and kids start asking ‘are we there yet?’ If you’ll be traveling this holiday season, this could be a glimpse into your future. I know, you’re wondering why we’re talking about the holidays already. Well, October is over with and November and December are crazy months, aka the holidays will be here before you know it. So this week we want to help you get ahead of your to-do list with some helpful tricks and tips for preparing your vehicle for your holiday travel. If you’re wondering why you have to prepare your vehicle for a road trip because you just hop in and go, then it’s a good thing you wondered onto this week’s blog! Below you will find a handful of helpful tricks to help make your travel smoother than ever before! So what are you waiting for? Check it out below!

Get The Right Tunes

• Road trip rule #1, don’t rely on the radio
• The radio goes in and out in different spots and the same songs will get old quickly 
• Prepare ahead of time and make a playlist has a little of everyone’s favorites to keep the ride entertaining 
• Go ahead, feel free to throw in some holiday tunes to get everyone in the holiday spirits 

Keep The Kids Entertained With Kits For The Kids 

• Few things are better than surprises when you’re a kid. So stash some road trip kits to break out when they’re getting restless
• Include little goodie bags filled with stickers, coloring books, crayons, or anything you think could keep your little one entertained

Stock Up On The Essentials 

• Depending on how long your ride is, be sure to pack snacks, water, medicine, and plastic bags for trash 
• Other crucial items? A full tank of gas, a phone charger, a first aid kit, and a few blankets.

Make Sure Your Ride Is Road Trip Ready 

• It’s important that you service your vehicle if it has not yet been 
• Driving in the winter months means you could find yourself running into a mix of weather conditions. Making sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape is crucial to your vehicle’s performance and your safety 

It’s All About The Journey

• The holidays are a time to spend with the family but with November and December being so busy you might find that you’re spending less time with them. Instead of bee-lining to your destination, enjoy the journey and maybe stop at some attractions along the way. Create those memories!

Let The Kiddos Have Some Screen Time 

• No parent is comfortable letting their kids stare into a screen for hours at a time, but it might be a good idea to let up on the screen time restriction to help keep your ride a little more peaceful. It’s always a good idea to have them play learning games or watch an educational show!

Have An Arsenal Of Games Ready To Go 

• No road trip is complete without family car games, so be sure to jot down a list of age-appropriate games before you get going.
• It’s a good idea to spread them out so that you don’t run out of games too quickly 
• We suggest playing one at the beginning to get them excited for the trip, then once they start getting antsy, and then periodically 
• Having small prizes for the winner is always a fun way to get them into a game 

Make Sure Your Ride Is Nice And Tidy Before Leaving 

• It’s important that your vehicle is tidy and organized when hitting the road. You want to know where everything is and be able to access it easily as needed 

Prepare For Toll Booths 

• If you don’t have an EZ-Pass, be sure to have your money prepared for tolls 
• You don’t want to be that person fumbling around at the booth, plus it helps on time to hand over the cash and go 

Make Plans, But Don’t Worry About Sticking To Them   

• It’s no secret that you’re going to need to stop for bathroom breaks, food, stretch, etc. 
• If you’re planning your trip down to the minute you’ll find yourself stressing for no reason. Stay flexible and don’t stress if you fall behind on time a little bit

Fall has come and before we know it, it will be gone. Before that happens, it is important to make sure that your vehicle is in tip-top shape for the winter months ahead. If you haven’t started your fall service there is no better time than now! But where should you start? Great question! It’s your lucky day because this week we are talking about your tires and how you can service them for the winter months. Aka a perfect place to start your fall service! 

Your tires are an extremely important factor in how your vehicle performs in winter weather. It’s no secret that after the snow falls and temperatures drop low, the road conditions can become very bad. If your tires aren’t in good shape you can find yourself slipping and sliding all over the road. To help keep you and your passengers safe this winter, giving all four of your tires a good inspection is important. There are a couple of things you should be looking for before you give them the A-OK. Below you find all the information you’ll need to ensure your vehicle’s tires are up for the winter weather conditions. 

Checking Your Tire Depth:

• Evaluate the tread depth of your tires to make sure you have enough traction to grip the road
• An easy way to check you tire depth is with the Penny Test
• Just place a penny upside down in your tread. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it may be time for new tires.

Checking Your Tire Pressure:

• Use a tire pressure gauge to make sure your tires are properly inflated and then fill your tires with air as needed
• Your owners manual will have the proper PSI for your tires 
•  To check your pressure, remove the valve stem cap, press the gauge head evenly onto the valve stem, use firm pressure so that the hissing sound stops
• Remove the gauge and read the pressure adjust as needed 

Checking Your Tire’s Condition & Age:

• Look at the tread and sidewalls for any cuts, scrapes, punctures, bulges, bumps or cracks. If you see anything suspicious, have a tire service professional take a closer look.
• You also want to keep an eye on your tire’s age. Depending on how much you drive, your tire’s tread may last for years but just because the tread is not worn out does not mean that your tires don’t need to be replaced
• To determine your tire’s age just look at the DOT stamping on the sidewall
• At the end of the DOT stamp, there is a four-digit code that will tell you when the tire was manufactured. 
• Example: A code that looks like 4719 means the tire was manufactured in the 47th week of 2019 

Finding that your tires could use some TLC? Don’t stress it, the pros here at King Volkswagen can help match you with the right tires and replace them in no time! Plus, when you service your vehicle with us you can save big using our service specials! In fact, we have tire special that allows you to save big, Buy 3 Eligible Tires, Get The 4th For $1!* Claim your coupon here, and be sure to schedule a service appointment now!  

*All offers expire 10/31/2019. See specials page for full details.

Fall is in full swing and before you know it it will be that time of the year where the snow is falling. There is no better time than NOW to invest in a great new set of tires for your vehicle. When it comes to tires, there are a lot of options out there, and feeling overwhelmed is normal. One question you might find yourself asking is should I be purchasing all-season tires that are built for all year round performance or winter tires that are specifically made for winter weather performance. Lucky for you we have the information you’ll need in this week’s blog. Once you’ve decided on which tire to choose, be sure to shop our online tire store to find the right tires for your Volkswagen! 

Many vehicles on the road are driving with all-season tires. In fact, many vehicles are fitted with all-season tires when they leave the factory. The appeal of all-season tires is that they are built to take on road conditions all-year-round. So instead of having winter and summer tires, you can just have all-season tires. These tires offer a quiet ride, good tread, and year-round performance, no wonder they’re so popular. But are they the right choice for your vehicle during the winter? 

All-season tires have to offer good performance in a variety of weather conditions, which means they have to compromise some summer and winter performance capabilities. When it comes to driving in the winter weather, having the tires matter. With ever-changing conditions, making sure your tires can provide traction is extremely important. The argument for winter tires is simple, they are specifically made for winter weather. According to the pros, the combination of cold temperatures, ice, and snow can be best met by winter tires. Below you see the specific features of winter tires that make them unique: tread rubber, tread depth and patterns, and biting edges. 

The Tread Rubber – In extremely cold temperatures, the tread on All-Season tires stiffens and becomes less able to provide sufficient traction. Winter tires are designed to remain flexible, allowing the tire to grip the road better. 

The Tread Depth and Patterns – Winter tires offer the unique feature of deeper tire tread and unique tread patterns that reduce snow buildup and provide better traction on the snow. All-Season tires do not offer deep tread and unique designs. 

Biting Edges – Winter tires also feature an increased number of biting edges, which are thousands of tiny slits in the tread that provide traction on ice. 

So what will it be? Winter tires or All-Season tires? That will depend on where you live and how much snow and ice you’ll be seeing this winter. If you only see flurries and occasional slick roads then chances are you can probably get away with All-Season tires, but it is important to rotate your tires and replace them as needs. However, living in a place where you see a good amount of snow throughout the winter season, it might be a good idea to shop Winter tires to help give you peace of mind this winter season.

It’s Car Care Month, which means there is no better time than NOW to get your vehicle in tip-top shape for the winter months ahead! It’s hard to believe that it’s already October, but that means winter will be here before we know it and if you haven’t given your vehicle the TLC it deserves, you might find yourself running into some issues down the road, and trust me you don’t want that! So if your vehicle is in need of service, the professionals here at King Volkswagen are ready to help get your vehicle winter weather ready! 

Lucky for you, it’s a new month and that means it’s time for us to share new ways for you to save big! Last week we told you about our new vehicle offers and this week we are excited to tell you about our new service specials! Below you can find a list of this month’s offers!

So let’s not waste any more time, check out our tips below or head over to our site to schedule a service appointment today!

Inspect The Battery: 

• Check the battery connections to make sure they’re tight, clean and free of corrosion
• Harsh winter weather can be hard on a vehicle battery, so you want to check the battery and charging system before the cold sets in

Check Your Tires:

• Check tire tread depth
• Look for any signs of wear and tear such as bulges and bald spots
• Check the tire pressure, and adjust it accordingly using the PSI listed in your owner’s manual or driver’s side doorjamb
• Tire pressure drops when the temperatures drop, so keep a regular schedule of tire pressure maintenance

Have Your Brakes Checked:

• It’s no secret your breaks are important, but in the winter months, it’s important they’re in shape to take on the winter weather. 
• Make sure the brake pads/rotors don’t need to be replaced and have the brake line checked as well. 
• Our team is more than qualified to help give you peace of mind and repair any issues we may find

Check Wiper Blades, Defrosters, and Heater:

• Checking your cooling and heating system is important for your comfort, but it’s also important for your safety, too. Visibility could be hindered in the winter months due to frost, ice, snow, and other elements. 
• Making sure your defroster is working, your wiper blades don’t have any cracks or are leaving streaks across your windshield
• Generally, wiper blades should be replaced every 6 months 
• Don’t forget the windshield wiper fluid! Most vehicles will warn you you’re running low but it is 

Check Your Lights: 

• Your vehicle’s lights tend to be overlooked, but as the days begin to grow darker sooner, your lights become extremely important
• Think about the last time you changed your headlights and taillights, if you can’t remember, chances are it’s time to change them! 
• If they’re still running smoothly, give them a good cleaning to create better visibility
