Make Sure Your Volkswagen Is Ready To Take On Fall With This Maintenance Checklist! | Hollidaysburg, PA
Hello, September! It’s crazy to think we are actually in September, but that means fall/winter months are just around the corner. And as the drill goes, everyone puts their winter maintenance off until mid-fall, and you find yourself waiting in long lines or having a hard time finding an available appointment time. That’s why this week’s blog is dedicated to helping you kickstart your fall maintenance, sooner than later! Below, you will find a handful of end of summer service for your Volkswagen! The service is all DIY, but if you need help with your fall service, our team is here for you! Just head over to our site and schedule your service appointment today!
Fiore Volkswagen’s Service Checklist To Complete:
Inspection:
- The place to start is with an inspection. This is the best way to narrow down the service/ maintenance your vehicle needs most.
- This will include important checks like battery check, fluids, belts, hoses, lights, and more
- These are important to catch now because as temperatures fall, components can worsen
Tire Tread
- Your tire tread is extremely important, especially during the upcoming winter months. If your tire tread is low or bald, you have no grip on slick and icy roads
- The proper tread depth should be at least 2/32”
- If you need a simple way to check your tire depth, utilize the penny test
- Penny Test How To: With Lincoln’s head facing downwards, place the penny into several grooves of a tire. If you can see the top of his head, your tread depth is worn too low and it’s time to replace your tires
- If you’re in heavy snow areas, you should invest in snow tires – which have proven to provide better traction than all-season tires.
- Keep an eye out for more than just tread depth. Look for intense light exposure, puncture holes, or anything thing else
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
- Often overlooked, but the real MVP of winter driving, windshield wipers are extremely important all year round, especially during the winter months
- When snow, sleet, hail, etc. are falling at you, you need a good pair of wipers to keep your visibility clear
- Examine your blades for breaks, tears, streaking, etc.
- If you’ve had your wipers for more than 6 months, it’s a good idea to replace them
- If you get a lot of snow, looking into purchase wipers specifically for snow/winter weather

The summer season is almost through and, if you want to start off the Fall season fresh, start by cleaning out your car!

So, check out Fiore Volkswagen’s top car cleaning tips below and get your ride good as new! Or if your vehicle has gotten messier than you can handle, schedule a service appointment and let our certified service professionals give your ride a well deserved interior detail!
Fiore Volkswagen’s Car Cleaning Tips:
Change Your Filters!
- After the summer season, pollen, dust, and grim may have built up in your filtration systems so be sure you replace your filters for fall.
Whip Out Your Cup Holders.
- Nothing’s worse than a sticky cup holder and with summer slushies, sodas, and iced coffees yours has probably been through the wringer.
Vacuum Your Interior!
- Sand from the beach, gravel from the hiking trails, and everyday dirt has built up through summer so take some time to clean your floor mats!
Dust Your Dashboard.
- Pollen and dust build up and the dashboard stays in your view for your whole drive. So, do yourself a favor and dust your dash so you can drive without distraction!
Clean Out Your Trunk.
- Leftover summer accessories, clothes, and garbage can all end up being forgotten when stored away in the trunk. Make sure you clean out your trunk so you have easy access to emergency kits, spare tires, and other essentials!
Today is National Dog Day, and if you’re a pet owner then you are probably familiar with the popular KONG dog toy! This conular, beehive-shaped rubber item– often seen in red or black– is a hollow “mental stimulation” toy for dogs that can be filled with treats and will keep them busy for hours! But, did you know that this toy originated from a part of Volkswagen’s classic Bus?
In 1970 an auto repair shop owner named Joe Markham adopted a German Shepard named Fritz to help guard his shop from burglars. Frits was a fine dog, but had flunked out of the police academy due to excessive chewing, and Joe soon realized that the black mark on Fritz’s record was indeed an issue. You see Fritz’s favorite toy for teething was a rock and after a while it began to wear down the dog’s teeth! Joe tried every other chewable toy he could think of, but it wasn’t until one day when he was working on a Volkswagen Bus, that he found his solution! After disassembling a customer’s VW for repair, Joe came across Fritz happily chewing away on the Buses rubber axle stop. It was perfect!
The rubber was soft enough not to damage the dog’s teeth but strong enough to hold up against Fritz’s powerful bite! So, Joe, inspired by his pup’s discovery, began developing his dog toy idea! After years of experimentation and a bit of help from a German engineering firm, the first KONG toys hit the markets in 1976 and have been a massive hit ever since! Volkswagen loves this story and hopes to continue to inspire its drivers and community in new and exciting ways!

Be Prepared For Your Next Test Drive With These Tips From Fiore Volkswagen | Hollidaysburg, PA
When looking for an exciting new Volkswagen to call your own, it’s important to really get a good feel for your ride by taking it out for a test drive! But, this can be a daunting task! The sales representative in the seat next to you may make you feel like you’re taking your driver’s exam all over again!

Fiore Volkswagens Test Driving Tips:
Understand The Test Drive!
- The #1 goal of a test drive is to see if the vehicle is a good fit for you and your family. While spending a lot of money on a new vehicle, it’s important to ensure that the vehicle you’re test driving is really the right one and worth the money you’re going to spend.
Take Your Time!
- Take your time with the vehicle, go over all of the features, and don’t be pressured into purchasing something you don’t love through and through.
Listen To The Experts!
- While your opinion matters most, there is also a time and place to listen to the car experts when it comes to features like comfort, convenience, power, etc. Car reviews can be a great source of information and can offer great insight!
Drive It Like You Own It!
- One mistake many new car buyers make is not driving the vehicle on your daily commute. We encourage you to take advantage of this time by driving back roads, busy streets, or highways if they are typically in your daily commute. This will help you get a better feel for how the ride will be once you purchase the vehicle.
Don’t Be Blinded By The Bling!
- Oftentimes, buyers are blinded by specific features or price points. Don’t let this be you. Take all of the features into consideration before making a final decision. It’s a great idea to make a list of features that you’re looking for in a vehicle and check them off as you go.
Summer is in full swing and that means one thing: vacation time! If you’re looking for a new to you ride to take on your travels, Fiore Volkswagen has just what you need!
