Football season is back, and it’s no secret that we’re excited and I'm sure you are too! There’s nothing like packing up the car and head out for a game with friends and family. And although you’re there for the game, there is one part we can’t forget about and that’s the tailgate party! Fans from all over flock to games, whether it’s college or pro, to join with other fans for food, games, and repping some love for your team. If you’re watching the game in person, you can’t skip the tailgate! The right food and music are essential, but perhaps the most important element of a great tailgating party is your ride. So how can you turn your ride into tailgate central? Lucky for you we’ve got you covered in this week’s blog! Take a peek below and let’s get this party started! Take On Tailgate Season With These Tips: Basics: Every tailgate has basics, these include chairs, tables, food (it’s a must), drinks, coolers, plates, utensils, and a grill (be the grill master of the tailgate party)! Take It Up A Notch: Everybody can bring a grill and some food, but that doesn’t make them tailgate masters...take it to the next level with portable phone chargers, wireless speakers, and a portable satellite TV so that you and your guests can watch the pre-game action at the same time. You’ll definitely get some brownie points for that! All Decked Out: What is a tailgate without some team pride?? Not a good one that's for sure! Get all decked out, apparel, magnet decor for your vehicle, balloons, foam fingers, and don’t forget to serve the opposing team fans a burger on a paper plate that has your team's decor...oh yeah I went there! Location: You can have everything for the perfect tailgate party, but it won’t be enough without the right spot! Weather is never perfect, especially in the months ahead, so get there early and ensure you get the perfect spot that shelters your vehicle from the sun, wind, and rain away is generally a wise choice. Now that you have the right tools to take on the tailgate, you have to ask yourself if you have a vehicle to do so? If not, Fiore VW has a large inventory of Volkswagen vehicles that could be perfect for the next tailgate party! So stop in today or schedule a test drive to make your dream Volkswagen a reality today!

Whether it’s headlight conditioning, replacement of the bulbs, or replacing your headlights altogether, our team can assist you with all of your needs. Tires Responsible driving all starts at the tires. Monthly tread inspections can help you stay on top of when it’s time to replace your tires. If you have noticed that your tires are less than ⅛-inch of tread, then it’s time to upgrade. While all-season tires might be a cheaper option upfront, choosing a set for both summer and winter, offers a more well-rounded performance. Stop in to see our team and let us help you choose the right tires for your vehicle! Wipers Did you know that it’s a great option to replace your wipers every six months? Typically, your wipers should be replaced twice a year to ensure top performance. Before the fall season, it’s a great option to upgrade those wipers and choose a pair that are specifically designed for winter weather as we are quickly heading that way. Also, if you’re looking to extend the lifespan of your wipers, we encourage you to clean them with a paper towel and glass cleaner each time you stop to get gas.

Are you heading back to school soon? Well, before you do, we want to remind you of some important car care tips you should perform before you hit the time road. These tips will allow you to be safe on the road, and hopefully, avoid any service interruptions while you’re at school! Need maintenance or repairs before you go? No problem, just schedule a service appointment online with us today or stop into Fiore Volkswagen Top off all the fluids Regular oil changes are a must, but that isn’t the only fluid you should be keeping an eye on in your vehicle. Keep an eye out for transmission, brakes, coolants, and more. Clean fluids help your engine run smoothly, while dirty fluids can cause damage. Take a peek at your lights. Headlight or taillight out? Lights out on your vehicle are very dangerous. A burned-out headlight can impair your ability to see the road clearly, increasing the risk of a flat tire or accident. While a burnt-out taillight can make it hard to see you. Simply turn your lights on while the car is in park, and walk around the entire vehicle to make sure your headlights, rear lights, blinkers, and hazards are functioning properly. Not only will this keep you safe, but it will keep you from getting a pulled over/ a ticket. If you need replacement, just schedule a service appointment today. Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated Improper tire pressure can cause you to get fewer miles per gallon? It can also increase wear and tear, resulting in a need to replace the tires sooner than normal, and becoming very costly. To keep your tires in tip-top shape, keep a tire gauge in your car and check the pressure monthly. Check for wear and tear by utilizing the “penny test” by inserting an upside-down penny in the tread groove. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it’s time to get new tires. Don’t forget your wipers You don’t want to be driving down the highway, and go to use your wipers and have no washer fluid! Your windshield wiper fluid needs to be topped off to ensure you have good visibility in poor weather. Wiper blades need regular replacement too, usually every six to twelve months. CH-CH-CHARGE IT UP Don’t find yourself getting out of a class only to find your battery has died. If your car is sluggish to start or if the dashboard lights or radio are giving you trouble, it may be a sign you need a new battery. Batteries only last three to five years, so if you’ve had yours a long time, it’s probably time for a new one. If you find you need a replacement, your mechanic can test your battery during routine maintenance and oil changes. Check your seatbelts—and wear them. Buckle up and stay safe this school year. Simply wearing a properly fitted seat belt saves thousands of lives each year. It’s one of the most effective ways to avoid serious injury in an accident. Airbags alone are not enough to protect you. Make sure your seatbelt is secured tightly across the pelvis and rib cage. Take a break and get your brakes checked It’s no secret that your brakes are a crucial part of your drive. Worn brakes can make it hard to stop quickly and can cause your car to travel farther before coming to a halt — making it more likely you’ll find yourself in an accident. To avoid that, a professional mechanic should check your vehicle’s brakes regularly, preferably as part of a routine maintenance check performed during regular oil changes. Pack an emergency kit just in case It’s never a bad idea to be prepared! Items you’ll want to keep in your car in case of trouble include a flashlight, tire repair kit, first aid items, a basic tool kit (lug wrench, screwdriver, hammer), jumper cables, hazard triangle, a blanket, and even a small amount of cash.

Don't forget the trunk and cargo areas. It may be tedious but it’s always easier to reorganize when you’ve got a clean slate! Prioritize The Items That You NEED Emergency Items and kits should always be the first things you put back in your vehicle. While they may take up a bit of space, it is always better to be prepared and travel safely. You can then move on to figuring out which everyday items you may also need in your car!

Stay cool for the summer and top off your vehicle’s coolant levels! It’s no secret that the summer season is heating up and if you find yourself hitting that AC button more and more, it might be a good idea to check on your coolant level. During the summer, harsh heat can take a toll on your vehicle’s engine. If there is any damage to your engine it could cost you some serious money. To avoid this from happening, topping off your coolant is essential. Your vehicle's cooling system keeps the engine from overheating by transferring air to the heat. Checking your coolant level is very simple and is something that can fall into the DIY category. If you don’t know much about the inside of your vehicle, don’t stress! Our team's service professionals can get your vehicle in tip-top shape in no time and can even help you save big when you use our service specials! Schedule your service appointment today using our convenient online portals! However, if you feel that you can change your coolant yourself, then check out our how-to in just two simple steps below! Fiore Volkswagens DIY Coolant Change : First pop the hood by lifting the latch inside your car. Slip your hand in between the crack and move the safety lever which unlocks the hood allowing you to lift it all the way. Locate the engine coolant reservoir- this will be to the far side of the vehicle, left or right, depending on the make and model of your vehicle. The lid to the reservoir will often have “Engine Coolant Only” printed on it. ***Look out for the line on the side of the engine coolant reservoir and a heading of “COLD” or “FULL”. There may also be a “WARM” level indicator. The “COLD” indicator is the one you want to use.*** Add engine coolant to the reservoir if the liquid is below the “COLD” indicator line. Observe to see that the engine coolant reservoir is holding the added liquid. If it falls below the “COLD” indicator before your next check, there may be a leak. Any leak needs to be checked out and repaired as soon as possible!

As the eagerly anticipated total solar eclipse approaches on Monday, April 8th, many across Mexico and North America are gearing up for a celestial spectacle. NASA projects that approximately 31.6 million individuals reside within the eclipse's path, with millions more within a two-hour drive. In 2017, an estimated 5 million people flocked to witness the event, resulting in extensive traffic congestion along certain routes. To aid in your eclipse-viewing plans, NASA has unveiled an Eclipse Explorer Map delineating the eclipse's predicted trajectory. Whether you're embarking on a journey to catch the eclipse's grandeur or concerned about potential traffic jams, Fiore Volkswagen is here with some safety pointers for navigating the roads. Prepare For Traffic: Anticipate significant traffic congestion, especially if you're heading toward major cities within the eclipse's path. With this rare celestial event occurring once every two decades, roads are expected to be packed. Ensure your vehicle is fueled up, pack essential supplies like water and snacks, and brace yourself for potential delays. Watch Out For Onlookers: Be mindful of individuals seeking the optimal viewing spot, which might include precarious roadside positions or even obstructing traffic lanes. Children and distracted drivers may pose additional risks. Stay vigilant and focused on the road to avoid accidents. Focus On Driving: If you find yourself behind the wheel during the eclipse and unable to pull over safely to observe, resist the temptation to divide your attention between driving and sky-gazing. Your safety and that of others take precedence. Remember, NASA will provide stunning images of the eclipse for viewing later. Protect Your Eyes: Ensure you have proper eye protection if you plan to observe the eclipse directly. While driving, regular sunglasses suffice as long as you don't plan to stare directly at the sun. The eclipse is expected to grace Pennsylvania between 2:00 pm and around 4:30 pm. The Fiore Volkswagen team hopes these tips assist you in preparing for Monday's celestial event. Stay safe on the roads and savor this extraordinary phenomenon with loved ones!
