Fiore VW’s List Of Common Car Seat Mistakes: The child is turned face-forward too early Babies must ride facing the rear until they are at least 1 year old and weighs 20 pounds. Experts recommend waiting even longer but it is up to the parent Some parents don’t like facing the baby to the rear because they have trouble seeing the baby’s face, but it is important that the child doesn’t face forward in case of a crash. A solution is to get a childproof mirror to hang on the backseat headrest to see the baby. The seat isn't installed tightly enough Most people don’t know how tight they should be pulling the safety belt, the answer is as tight as possible. When you jiggle the area where the safety belt is pulled through, the chair should not move more than 1 inch in any direction! Harness straps are too loose A big mistake is not tightening the harness straps enough, this is because they don’t want to make it too tight or uncomfortable for the child. The correct way is for the straps to be tightened so that the slack can’t be pinched between an adult’s thumb and forefinger. This ensures that the child won’t slip too far down in the seat and that the child won’t fall out. Infant seat angled incorrectly The seat must be reclined no more than 45-degree angle, just enough so the child doesn't flop forward but if he/she is positioned anymore than that they could be thrown out between the straps headfirst. Harness straps are in wrong slots When the child is facing the rear position, the straps should be in slots at or just below the shoulder. If the child is old enough to be facing forward, the straps should come through the uppermost slots. The safety belt isn't in locked mode. This information will be provided to you in the owner’s manual of your car, determine what type of belts you have and follow the directions regarding how they must be used with a child-safety restraint.

One of the most difficult parts about buying a new car is deciding what to do with your old vehicle. Whether you decide to sell it yourself or trade in towards something new, it can be an incredibly time-consuming hassle. Thankfully, Fiore Volkswagen is ready to take on that hassle for you! We’ll deal with the DMV, help you get the most for your old vehicle, and work with you to find the right payment options for your new vehicle! But, to make the process run as smoothly as possible there are a few things you can do to prepare for the trade-in process. Check out our guide below and embark on your trade-in experience with confidence! Fiore VW’s Guide To Trading-In Your Vehicle: Know Your Vehicle’s Value Knowing your car’s worth can help you get a reasonable amount for your trade. If you are unsure of what your car is worth you could lose out. Do some research before stepping into the showroom and get a soft trade appraisal on our website through Kelley Blue Book. It’s a good idea to print out this appraisal and or have it available to pull up on your phone and bring it with you to the dealership so we know what you were appraised for. Fix Up Your Vehicle Any damage to your vehicle can lower the trade-in value, be sure to fix any cosmetic damage that could cost you money. Even a car wash and a vacuumed interior could help bring your trade-in value up a few dollars. Repairing minor scratches or small dents are simple touch ups that could really increase your vehicle's value. Know What To Expect Sometimes there may be some wiggle room for your trade and sometimes there isn’t. It’s important to not feel pressured if a trade value is presented and you don’t like the offer. Working with our sales team can help get you in the right car for the right price. Have your paperwork in order if your offer is something you plan to accept, this could help the car buying process go much faster!

Did you know owning a vehicle is much more than just filling up the tank and hitting the road for your next adventure? A little routine service goes a long way in the health and happiness of your car. So, since it’s National Car Care Month, Fiore VW wants to provide you with our list of things that you should be checking for this spring to be sure your vehicle is road ready!

Check out our guide below and if you’re not feeling up to the task of taking a look yourself, our service technicians would love to help you out. All you have to do is schedule a service appointment with our team today! Things To Check Up On: Check on all of your vehicle’s fluids. Engine oil, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, power steering fluid, and any others you can think of. Be sure to check on the hoses and belts under the hood of your vehicle. Check for cracking, bulging, and excessive wear and tear. Take a look at your battery, make sure it has tight connections, is corrosive free, and ready to take you the distance this season. Hearing noises? It might be your exhaust system. Check for damage or leakage. Want great fuel economy and low-level emissions? Schedule an engine tune-up or fuel line flush! Temperatures are on the rise - give your HVAC system a look over and have it serviced if you think your system is having issues. Fill up your tires to the proper PSI levels and check your tread levels. Look for uneven tread wear or excessive wear and tear. Your lighting is a vital component in your vehicle. Be sure to check over all the lighting fixtures and ensure that bulbs are in proper working condition. If your headlights look foggy, consider scheduling a restoration service. Don’t forget about your windshield wipers. April is known for heavy rain showers. Don’t be caught in the rain with old, worn out wipers!
