Spring is here and it’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to some good old spring cleaning done. I’m sure you have a long to-do list that includes your yard, your house, and everything in between. But we are here to remind you to not forget about your vehicle! Making sure your vehicle is in shape for spring is important for your vehicle’s health and your safety. Take a few minutes to check out our spring cleaning checklist for your ride below! If you’re in need of assistance or you don’t have time to do this work yourself, just schedule an appointment with us and our professionals will have your ride ready to go in no time!

Remove the winter tires

• This might be an obvious one, but many of us live fast-paced lives and we either forget or put it off as long as we can. But the truth is, leaving your winter tires on during the whole year can actually cause a lot of damage and even be dangerous. Once it looks like the coast is clear and we won’t be getting any more snow, set a day to change out your tire.

Wash car’s exterior

• Wash and wax your vehicle’s exterior to get rid of dust, dirt, and salt that has built up during the winter. Don’t forget to clean the tires, headlights and underneath for a full cleaning! If you’re not one to roll up your sleeves, no problem! A full-service car wash will do the same and usually isn’t too much money.

Clean the trunk

• Our truck is basically our closet on the go. We tend to throw a lot of useless stuff in there and then when we need to use it, we find that there is no room. Well, it’s time to rip off the bandaid and take everything out. Yes, I mean everything! Make a keep and throwout pile, whatever you don’t need in your vehicle be sure to bring it inside and not to put it back in your trunk. Make some space for new things and don’t forget to shake the trunk carpet liner.

Clean the interior

• Don’t have a clean exterior and a messy interior, it’s dangerous to have your floors covered in clutter and you’ll feel better when your vehicle is cleaned up. You should also check under the seats and vacuum all the dirt and dried salt. Don’t ignore your vehicle’s seats. Make sure you don’t use any chemicals, which can cause damage, and rub the seats with a wet cloth instead. For more info on what to use, just check your owner’s manual.

Look under the hood

• Under the hood is where the heart of your vehicle lives. Make sure that it is clean and nothing is trapped inside is important. A clean engine prolongs the life of your engine as well as prevents any further mechanical issues. Clean your engine components with soap and water and be sure to wipe down your engine till it’s dry. Never work under the hood in the engine is hot!

Making sure your tires are in tip-top shape is crucial to you and your passenger’s safety. Don’t get me wrong, all of the new advanced and innovative technology in new Volkswagen is very helpful, but the most important thing that will help you stay on the road is your tires. With this in mind, it might be surprising how little people actually check their tire tread and the quality of their tires. Whether this is because we don’t want to spend more money on tires or even that you don’t know how to it, doesn’t mean it isn’t important. So this week I am going to teach you a helpful trick that will let you know if it’s time for new tires in seconds! The best part? All you need is a penny, no lie! Don’t believe me? Then check below to see how the penny test can help you in just seconds! You can thank me later. If you find that you’re in need of new tires, order your new ones right on our site or stop into Fiore Volkswagen today!

The Penny Test:

• The idea of the penny test is to check whether you’ve hit the 2/32” threshold
• Place a penny between the tread ribs on your tire.
• Turn the penny so that Lincoln’s head points down into the tread.
• See if the top of his head disappears between the ribs. If it does, your tread is still above 2/32”
• If you can see his entire head, it may be time to replace the tire because your tread is no longer deep enough.

It’s that simple! If you have any question, feel free to give our service department a call. If you think it may be time to buy new tires, check out our service specials page and help keep some money in your pocket!

Stage your car

1. Just like selling your home, your vehicle should be as clean as you can get. Yes, dealers can tell if it is in good shape or not regardless of how clean it is but the better it looks could really go the extra mile when it comes to the offer price.

Fix the dings

1. You want to make the car look as new as possible and if that means spending a little money to get those dings on the exterior touched up it might be worth it if that means you’ll get more money back for your trade-in.

Have Receipts handy

1. Keeping records and receipts. If so, when the day arrives to finally trade your vehicle, you can show the dealer receipts for all the purchases and repair work done on the car. If the dealer questions the condition of a certain engine part or area of the car, you can back up your side with a receipt

Do some Competitive Research

1. Like I said before it is important to be informed before heading to the dealership
2. Visit multiple websites and check the value of similar vehicles with the same mileage while monitoring e-commerce sites to follow your car model’s auction price
3. Print all the information you find

Look for promotions

1. Offer on your trade-in can be affected by several factors, including current inventory and the likelihood the car will sell

Don’t Settle

1. Don’t agree to a deal if you don’t feel comfortable with it

Finding the perfect gift for your significant other can be difficult, and if you don’t have the budget to buy them a new Volkswagen, we understand. But we want to help make sure that you treat your loved one right, regardless of your budget. That’s why this week we have a couple of ideas that are sure to make your significant other smile and have you getting tons of brownie points for it!

If you’re not about buying everything heart shaped, then stick to something that is more sentimental than tangible. We have a couple automotive displays of affection that are sure to show your significant other just how much you care about them without breaking the bank this Valentine’s day!

Sweet Things To Do For Your Boo:

• Clean of their ride: It’s February and in most of the country we are experiencing snowfall. Get up a little earlier and take a few minutes to wipe the snow off their vehicles windshield, mirrors, and the rest of their vehicle! Don’t forget to start the car so they can get into a toasty vehicle!

Have Their Coffee Ready To Go:

• It’s no secret the world runs on coffee, so take second to get your significant others coffee ready and place it in the cupholder so that when they get in their toast vehicle their coffee, tea, cocoa, etc. is ready for them and they can take on the day! Maybe even stash some chocolate hearts in the cupholder for a sweet treat later in the day!

Do Some Simple Preparation:

• If you’re on top of your gift giving this year, order a small clip-on vase that attaches to the vehicle’s dashboard or clips on to the vehicle’s vents. Place a rose inside the vase or leave a valentine or two for a really cute surprise!

Fill Up Their Gas Tank:

• A full tank = a full heart. Do something as simple as filling up their gas tank and put a smile on your loved ones face when they slip behind the wheel!

Pimp Their Ride:

• If you have a couple extra bucks and you’re willing to spend it on your loved one, bring their ride for a professional cleaning and interior detailing or if you live in a warm place and the weather is nice, do a little DIY to show just how much you care!

Make Them A Mixtape:

• Make them a personalized playlist of love songs or songs that mean a lot to you both as a couple. This will be perfect for the commute to and from work and will really hit the soft spot!

Whether you’re a new driver or you have a new driver, learning how to drive a vehicle can be a stressful situation. Even after they receive their license, letting them go out alone leaves you worried and wishing they would just come home already! That’s why it is important to continuously teach, remind, and set a good example for new drivers.

It is a fact that the number of accidents in correlation with new drivers is way higher than those of drivers that have been driving for years. This is understandable though, with the lack of experience accidents happen, but that doesn’t mean we cannot prevent them. So if you’re a new driver, check out the tips below and make sure to enforce them when you are driving. The more you practice something the easier it is to become a habit. Safe driving means fewer accidents. Mom or dad, if you’re reading this be sure to enforce this for your new driver as well, but remember that these apply to you as well. Children learn by example. So if you are disobeying these rules, chances are your child will too.

Tips:

Keep your cell phone off:

• It’s no secret that texting while driving is a huge epidemic when it comes to all drivers, but especially when it comes to teen drivers. The best thing you can do for yourself is to turn off your phone completely, or if that is too hard for you, put it on airplane mode or a mode that disables messages. It might be hard to not have your phone but it will be better than getting into an accident and hurting yourself or someone else.

Turn your headlights on:

• Using your headlights increase your visibility and help others see you. Even if you think it is bright enough, you should still have them on at times like the early morning or early evening (dusk).

Obey the speed limit:

• Speeding is a major contribution to teen driving, especially when there is a lot of traffic. Obeying the speed limit is important because it gives you time to react in the case you need to come to a stop fast or something else happens unexpectedly.  

Driving solo:

• According to the DMV, having one passenger with a teen driver behind the wheel can double the risk of an accident. Teen drivers do not have the experience and skills of an adult driver, having even one person in the car can cause an extreme distraction…now imagine a full vehicle! Driving solo is a much safer bet in most instances.

Practice defensive driving:

• Always be aware of the traffic ahead, behind, and next to you. It’s better to know your surroundings and have a plan in case an unexpected incident occurs. Stay at least one car length behind the car in front of you at slower speeds, and maintain a larger buffer zone with faster speeds.

Choose a safe vehicle:

• If possible try to drive a vehicle with the most up-to-date safety features such as anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and airbags, and one with an excellent crash safety record
