Before the snow starts falling, it’s important to ensure that you have all the tools you and your passengers might need before hitting the road this winter. Check out our list of 12 must-have items for your winter driving safety. And as always, if you’re in need of assistance with your fall maintenance, leave it to the professionals here at Fiore VW! Schedule your appointment online now and check out our service specials to save big on the service your ride needs!
Must-Have Winter Accessories:
Ice scraper and snow brush
- With winter right around the corner, it’s crucial to have a sturdy ice scraper and snow brush in your vehicle.
- Whether you’re leaving work, the mall, the grocery store, etc, snow can obstruct your view, and just using your wipers to clear your view can be dangerous for other drivers when the snow flies off at them.
Small/Collapsible shovel
- Keeping a small or collapsible shovel in your truck can be a lifesaver if you find your vehicle stuck in the snow or if you have to clear a path to drive
Extra windshield washer fluid
- Make sure your windshield washer fluid has antifreeze components to prevent it from freezing. Clearing your windshield with fluid will improve visibility in a winter storm
Gloves, hats, scarves, etc.
- You have the snow brush and shovel, but now you need to actually use them.
- Having extra gloves will be a lifesaver when you have to brush off your vehicle, pump gas, or even change a tire!
Blanket
- Doesn’t everybody have extra blankets lying around at home? Just me? Well, if you have an extra blanket, throw it in your trunk in case you find yourself in an accident having to stand outside, or experience a breakdown in colder temperatures.
Emergency flares or reflectors
- Finding yourself stuck in the snow? Ensure other vehicles can see you with emergency flares or reflectors
Rock salt
- Stuck in the snow? Did ice form around your tires? Gain traction with rock salt, sand, or kitty litter!
- Spread the material near your tires and in your car’s path to get out of a slippery situation.
First aid kit
- This is an all-year-round necessity, but it’s always good to replenish what you need in your first aid kit
- Whether your passenger has a small cut or you’re in an accident and need to be bandaged up, a first aid kit is crucial to this list
Flashlight
- We all know it gets dark very early during the winter months. Having a flashlight in your trunk is always a good idea.
- Whether you need it for maintenance purposes or even to feel safer when walking to and from your vehicle.
Jumper cables
- Cold weather can affect a car’s battery. You can’t start your car if the battery’s dead, which means you won’t be able to use the car’s heater for warmth. Waiting for a jump start in the cold is not fun. You won’t have to wait as long if you have jumper cables with you.
Cell phone charger
- It’s always important to keep your phone charged before hitting the road but with maps, music, and more, your battery can die quickly
- Keep your phone charged up in case you need to make a call for assistance or need your maps for directions
Water and non-perishable snacks
- Breakdowns are never fun and sometimes happen in the worst place. This means if you find yourself stranded, waiting for a tow truck and it might be a while before you get help, having a snack to hold you over is always helpful

Both The 2023 VW ID.4 & Tiguan Earn Top Scores On Cars.com’s 2023 Car Seat Fit Report Card! | Hollidaysburg, PA
Volkswagen is incredibly proud to announce that both the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 and Tiguan earned top marks on Cars.com’s 2023 Car Seat Fit Report Card! Two of only SEVEN vehicles to earn the “honor roll” grading from Cars.com! This’ll be the second year in a row that these two Volkswagen models have been awarded this title!
The 2023 Car Seat Fit Report Card was determined after performing car seat installations in 56 vehicles of varying make and model.

Certified safety technicians installed an infant car seat, a convertible car seat, and a booster seat into every vehicle tested. During the car seat installation, technicians closely examine the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system.
