The warm weather is finally here!! We are confident many of you are just itching to hit the open road for some fun in the sun, and we don’t blame you! However, we want to be reminded that just because the snow might be gone, driving in the spring months can be dangerous too. With a lot more people on the road, in cars, and walking, it’s extremely important to slow down and keep an eye out. Spring also brings heavy rain at times, which can cause the road to become slippery or even experience flooding. If you find yourself in this situation it might be safest to pull over and wait out the storm. With so many new factors to take into consideration during spring, it might be a good idea to check out our spring driving tips below for a refresher! And as always, if you’re looking to upgrade your drive or need some spring service for your beloved VW, just head over to our website to schedule appointments or browse our inventory now!

 

Be On The Lookout For Potholes: Winter weather takes a big toll on our roadways, which leads to some pretty nasty potholes. If you’re speeding down the road and don’t slow down in time and hit a pothole, then chances are that your vehicle is gonna have some damage, serious damage. Damage can include a punctured tire, bent rim, suspension damage, poor alignment, and exhaust system damage. 

Slow Down For Spring Showers: Did you know that roads are most slippery when it first starts to rain? This is caused by rainwater mixing with contaminants on the road, such as oil and grease. Make sure to increase your following distance to allow for proper braking.

Watch For Animals On The Move: Animal activity is up when the weather starts getting nicer. That means keep an eye out and drive slow especially for animals like deer that are known to be out at dusk and dawn. 

Watch For Pedestrians: Similar to animals, people tend to be out and about more when the weather starts getting warmer. Whether that means there are more walkers, cyclists or kids play hopscotch. Be sure to slow down especially in residential neighborhoods and busy streets. 

Share The Road With Motorcycles: Spring is when the motorcycle riders come out, and because of their speed and size, they may come in and out of your blind spots quickly. Be sure to listen to the sound of their bike and take a few extra seconds before switching lanes. If you are following a motorcycle, remember to leave a good amount of space in between. 

Maintain Proper Tire Pressure: During the winter months, your tires lose air due to the cold temperatures, this causes your tire to be under-deflated. Vice-versa, warm weather will cause them to be over-inflated. Each situation can lead to increased wear and poor handling.

Inspect Your Tires: Spring will bring the showers and when that happens making sure your tire tread is in shape is important to the quality of your driving. Just like snow, rain makes the road slippery, and having good tires will make or break your driving experience. Remember to use easy tricks like the penny test to check your tire tread and regularly check your tire pressure if your vehicle doesn’t display it for you. 

Pay Attention In Construction Zones: When the snow washes away and the spring days are here to stay, construction will start up again. One thing to keep in mind is that construction zones ask you to slow down for a reason, do it. Remember to…

  • Be attentive. Construction workers and equipment may suddenly enter the roadway. Traffic patterns can change daily to accommodate the work being done.
  • Understand and follow the signs.
  • Make safe lane changes. Solid lines in construction zones mean that you should stay in your lane.
  • Slow down. Fines may be doubled in construction zones. In addition, slowing down can save a life.

Can you guys believe that February is almost over?! With February almost in the books, we’re getting ready to welcome March! This means spring is right around the corner, and after a long winter, I’m sure you are just itching to get out and adventure in warmer weather. However, before you hit the road, we want to remind you of the importance of maintaining your Volkswagen for spring. After a rough winter, your VW is probably in need of some well-deserved TLC. Regular maintenance is important for avoiding costly issues now on the road. And since we will be changing seasons soon, there are a couple of things you should check off before hitting the road. So where to start? Great question! Below you will find five spring maintenance services you should complete before spring gets here. Most of the services below are DIY-friendly, but our team of experts is always happy to assist! Just head over to our service scheduler and schedule an appointment whenever you’re ready! Oh, and don’t forget to check out our service specials to save big on your spring maintenance!

Give Your Vehicle A Good Wash

  • Winter can be tough on your vehicle’s exterior. Freezing temperatures and salt from the road can do real damage to your paint job, so make sure to start the season with a car wash.
  • If you choose to go to a car wash, go for the premium wash to get all the nooks and crannies and a deep clean after months of harsh road conditions.
  •  If you do it yourself, make sure to add baking soda to the wash water if your car has a strong salt buildup. This will help neutralize the salt and save your paint job.

Tire Check

  • When it looks like the snow is finally done falling, be sure to switch from your snow tires to your all-season tires. 
  • Once you have your tires back on, be sure to grab your owners manual to find the Manufacturer recommended air pressure. Not only is this important for alignment, but also can give you better gas mileage and save your money at the tank! 
  • Make sure your tires are rotated regularly and don’t wait until you have a visible flat to fill them up. 
  • Check your tires for worn tread and make sure to replace your tires when the treading becomes too worn. If you’re not sure if you need new tires, use the penny test to determine!

Battery Check

  • After a long brutal winter, you’re going to want to check your battery’s life. 
  • Stop by the dealership for a battery test to see the life of your car’s battery. If your battery is getting weak, you can prevent future problems by replacing it before it stops working. 
  • If you find you’re in need of a new battery, be sure to check out our service offers page to see if you can take advantage of any battery offers!

Replace Wiper Blades and Fluids

  • Snow, sleet, and ice can cause wear on your windshield wipers – and it’s no secret how dirty your windows get with slush getting kicked up at you on the road. This means spring is the perfect time to get new wiper blades and top off your windshield wiper fluid levels for all the spring rain coming your way very soon.
  • New wiper blades are inexpensive and simple to replace, so you won’t even need to pay someone to do it for you. However, our team of experts is always here to help you if needed!

Oil Change 

  • Your vehicle works hard to get you where you need to go, especially during the winter months. That’s why spring is the perfect time to give your care the TLC/pick-me-up your vehicle needs. 
  • Regular oil changes can make all the difference in making sure your car has a long, healthy life. 
  • Whether your vehicle needs a regular oil change or synthetic oil change, our team is here to assist you!
  • Be sure to check out our service offers page to see what offers are available to you!
  • If you will be performing the oil change on your own, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s suggestions for oil change intervals and oil viscosity, and make sure to change the oil filter as well.

BRRR, it’s cold outside! Another snowy storm has come our way and your friends here at Fiore Volkswagen want to help you stay safe on the road! We want to encourage our customers to stay off the road and avoid travel if possible! However, we understand that is not always possible. So, for those guests that have to travel during a snowy day, we have some important driving tips and tricks below that are sure to help you have the upper hand on the road ahead! If you will be traveling, drive slowly!! And if you were planning on stopping into the dealership today, we invite you to start your search online at https://www.gofiorevw.com/! Browse our inventory, trade-in, get pre-approved, and schedule your test drive when you take advantage of our new Fiore Direct Buy program! 

Tips For Driving In The Snow:

  • Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Applying the gas slowly to accelerate is the best method for gaining traction and avoiding skids.
  • Drive slowly. Everything takes longer on snow-covered roads. Accelerating, stopping, turning – nothing happens as quickly as on dry pavement. Give yourself time to maneuver by driving slowly.
  • The normal dry pavement following distance of three to four seconds should be increased to eight to ten seconds
  • Know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, the best way to stop is threshold braking.
  • Don’t stop if you can avoid it.
  • Don’t stop going up a hill. There’s nothing worse than trying to get moving up a hill on an icy road.
  • Make it know what kind of driving assistance you have (AAA, Roadside Assistance, etc.)

Everyday Driving Tips: 

  • Avoid driving while you’re fatigued.
  • Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as a garage.
  • Make certain your tires are properly inflated.
  • Keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid gas line freeze-up.
  • If possible, avoid using your parking brake in cold, rainy, and snowy weather.
  • Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface (wet, ice, sand).
  • Always look and steer where you want to go.
  • Use your seat belt every time you get into your vehicle.

Long-Distance Driving Tips: 

  • Watch Weather Reports
  • Service your vehicle before hitting the road
  • Keep at least half a tank at all times
  • If you become snow-bound, stay with your vehicle. It provides temporary shelter and makes it easier for rescuers to locate you.
  • Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna or place a cloth at the top of a rolled-up window to signal distress, if needed.
  • Make sure the exhaust pipe isn’t clogged with snow, ice, or mud if you slide off the road
