‘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!

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!
