The wait is nearly over. You and all your friends are invited to celebrate the launch of the SUV that fits all your needs—including ample style. Join us on Wednesday, May 17 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. to welcome the all-new 2018 Volkswagen Atlas to our lineup.

Enjoy driving your SUV with the new seven-passenger Atlas that offers generous space and sophisticated driving dynamics. The seat position, shifter height, spacing between the pedals, and driver centric-displays all work together to enhance your driving experience.

Don’t you worry, the passengers will enjoy the ride too with plenty of leg room and ample cup holders—17 to be exact. Plus, if you go with an SEL or SEL Premium model, they’ll be in awe of the famous Volkswagen panoramic sunroof.

Need more space and fewer seats? No problem. The second and third row can both be folded down in a variety of ways to best fit all your goodies.

And, the fun doesn’t stop inside. Roll up in style with a bold new SUV look that’s modern and muscular. The clean lines will have you wanting to jump inside and take a test drive.

See it first at our launch party on Wednesday, May 17. There will be an Atlas there to test drive and tacos.

The Atlas is expected to start at $30,500. Look like your perfect ride? Reserve your Atlas here.

Dream Goal: $550 a Year for Fuel

It’s easy being green. Well, it is in a Volkswagen e-Golf SE, which was recently named the 2017 AAA Green Car Guide’s Top Green Vehicle in the compact car category.

Facing off against 21 other compact cars, the 2016 Volkswagen e-Golf won in 13 different categories, including slalom handling, visibility, EPA emissions, ride quality and interior noise.

If you’re into that, just wait. It gets better.  

You’ll love the 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf even more. Volkswagen improved the EPA-estimated range and fuel economy, by incorporating a lithium-ion battery—increasing the driving range from 83 to 125 miles.

Can you imagine paying an estimated annual fuel cost of just $550 a year? It could be possible with the fuel economy of 126 MPGe in the city, 111 on the highway and a combined MPGe of 119.

Although it’s running on batteries, the power is in no way hindered, in fact, it’s charged up from the 2016 model. The new motor develops 134 horsepower in comparison to 115 in the 2016 e-Golf. The 2017 model runs zero to 60 mph in just 9.6 seconds with a top speed of 93 mph.

Spring Cleaning is Important for Your Car, Too

We all know the drill: temperatures begin to rise, flowers bloom and everyone spring cleans their homes. But, wait. Why stop there? The weather is finally breaking so it’s the perfect time to head outside and take care of your Volkswagen that just endured winter. Do these five tasks to keep your car running smoothly.

1.     Check alignment and suspension: Winter is rough on the roads and, in turn, on your vehicle, especially when potholes are plentiful. These conditions can throw your car out of alignment. Schedule an appointment today to have our mechanics make sure everything is functioning properly.

2.     Look under the hood: Some minor maintenance can be done at home, such as checking fluids and filling the washer fluid. Be sure the engine is cool when you check the oil and coolant levels. Filling the washer fluid is simple: just open the cap with the windshield wiper image and fill it to the top.

3.     Change your windshield wipers: After going through winter, windshield wipers can be worn from all the snow and ice. Signals to look for are smearing and missing spots. Installing new ones will help increase visibility in spring rains. If you need assistance switching them out for new ones, come in and we’re happy to help.

4.     Deep clean the inside: Sometimes a spotless interior takes some work. This is a perfect time to throw out unnecessary items, vacuum (yes, even under the seats), and cleaning other materials with surface-specific cleaners. If animal hair is a problem invading your vehicle, BuzzFeed suggests removing it from upholstery with a spray bottle of water and squeegee.   

5.     Give it a bath: Of course, we all want the exterior of our vehicle to look clean even if the inside might not be that spotless. Winter can add extra grime to the exterior of your ride thanks to salt left on the road. To avoid corrosion, it’s important to wash your car promptly after snowstorms.

Once you complete these five spring cleaning tasks, you’ll feel accomplished and ready to hit the road. If you’re looking for additional maintenance to be done, check out our deals here and schedule an appointment.
