Phoenix Area Volkswagen Dealership Helps Fans Get Ready to Tailgate
·2 min read
When football season comes around, we thank our lucky stars that our Volkswagen dealership is just a quick 10 minute drive from University of Phoenix Stadium. As such, we've spent plenty of time in the stands cheering for the Cardinals. If you ask us, though, the best way to turn a game into an event is by tailgating beforehand!
Don't let the term "tailgate" fool you, though; you don't need a truck to throw a good parking lot party. With a bit of prep and a few tips, it's easy to take advantage of whatever space you have to ensure everyone has fun getting ready for the game.
Packing Up for a Good Time
From the Golf SportWagen to the Atlas, the Volkswagen lineup brings Phoenix area drivers plenty of models with liftgates for easy loading. Even a sedan can be great for tailgating, as long as you take the time to make the most of your space.
Like any good party, a solid tailgate starts with food. If you're going to be grilling, then getting everything in order the night before makes things a lot easier. Shape burger patties, cut veggies, and get everything organized into storage containers that fit in your cooler to make for quick cooking.
Of course, not everyone has the space or wants to haul a grill along. Some easy alternatives that travel well include snack platters, pulled pork in the slow cooker, or subs! As long as everyone gets something to eat and has a cold drink, you can rest easy knowing they'll enjoy themselves.
Once everyone's fed, it's time to focus on fun! Whether it's ladder ball, cornhole, or another favorite game, just about anything that folds flat is great for sliding into the back of your vehicle. The same is true of a pop-up canopy, as most of these can fold up into virtually no space at all for easy transportation.
While you're packing up, double check that your car has a set of jumper cables tucked away. While we suggest having these in the vehicle at all times, they can make you a hometown hero at a tailgate if your neighbor relies a bit too heavily on their car battery while celebrating.
Partying before kickoff is a great way to make the most of the season, but always be sure to party responsibly and to follow any rules specific to the lot you're in. For more information on how to prep your vehicle for fall, don't hesitate to contact us online or to call the Lunde Peoria Volkswagen team directly at (602) 714-3968 today!
2019 Volkswagen Jetta Brings Phoenix Area Drivers Advanced Safety Technology
These days, technology seems to be rolling out and advancing more quickly than ever before. Sometimes, that influx of technology can feel busy or even a bit overwhelming. At our Phoenix area Volkswagen dealership, though, technology is integrated so seamlessly that it feels like an extension of the comfort and convenience that you love. In fact, the latest safety technology that's built into the 2019 Jetta is sure to put your mind at ease and help you to feel more confident behind the wheel. This all-new sedan has been designed to make safety second nature so that you can focus on driving while various safety features simply carry on doing their jobs behind the scenes. The result is peace of mind no matter where you're heading. A Suite of Safety Features Focused on Your Well-Being Even at its very core, the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta is designed to keep drivers at our Phoenix area dealership safe. If an accident ever becomes unavoidable, a rigid safety cage works in conjunction with front and rear crumple zones to help channel energy away from the cabin. An intelligent crash response system will also unlock the doors, turn on the hazard lights, and deactivate the fuel pump for your safety if a serious accident is detected. Of course, avoiding accidents altogether is always an even better option. That's why Volkswagen offers a suite of advanced Driver Assistance features on the 2019 Jetta to help you stay alert and aware. In some cases, this smart sedan can even make adjustments on its own to help you steer clear of trouble.
Adaptive Cruise Control, for instance, helps you avoid distractions on the highway by automatically adjusting your speed and following distance to match the flow of traffic. Similarly, Lane Assist can make adjustments to help keep you in your lane if you don't react to the Lane Departure Warning system.
Along with Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Traffic Alert systems, features like these help to keep an eye out for you from virtually every angle. To learn more about all of the 2019 Jetta's available safety features, or to schedule a test drive with the Lunde's Peoria Volkswagen team, be sure to contact us by calling (623) 745-8745 today.

Volkswagen Service Center Offers Tip to Help Phoenix Area Drivers Care for Their Cars
If you're like most folks, then chances are that you spend quite a bit of time behind the wheel of your vehicle. From commuting to work and running errands to heading out on weekend adventures, you and your car have undoubtedly formed a pretty close bond. As such, it's crucial that you take good care of your ride.
Here at our Volkswagen service center near Phoenix, we have you covered when it comes to maintenance and repairs. Our expert staff can help you stick with Volkswagen's recommended service schedule to help ensure that you can always rely on the performance that you love.
What about keeping your car clean, though? A good wash and wax every now and then certainly goes a long way, but maintaining your look between washes is important, too, just like carrying out car maintenance between major services helps to protect your vehicle. Items to Keep on Hand for a Cleaner Car Next time you do wash your car, be sure to wax it, too. Wax creates a protective coating over your vehicle's painting, helping to protect it against dirt, dust, and debris. This also helps to ensure that the time you spent washing it wasn't in vain!
Another good move for the exterior is to ensure that your wiper blades are clean. That way, they can do a better job of cleaning the windshield. Simply wipe them down with a 1:4 solution of ammonia and water. This will clean the rubber strips to help reduce streaks and smudges when you use the wipers. Speaking of wiping things down, keeping a package of gentle baby wipes in the car is always a good choice whether you have kids or not. From sticky fingers to spilled coffee, these wipes are a great way to help handle little messes that tend to pop up on the road.
Of course, you don't want to just toss those wipes on the floorboard after you're done. Hang a small trash bag from the headrest or get a small food storage container to use as a trash receptacle. When you stop for gas, dump out whatever trash you've accumulated since your last fill up to keep your interior looking great!
With a little effort and help from our expert technicians, you can keep your car looking and running great! To learn more, or to schedule a service visit, be sure to contact Lunde's Peoria Volkswagen by calling (623) 745-8745 today. Schedule Service
Volkswagen Dealer Near Phoenix Looks Ahead to the 2019 Jetta
It may feel like it was just yesterday that we flipped our calendars to 2018, but that doesn't mean we can't start looking ahead to the future! While we're only a couple of months into the year, the team at our Volkswagen showroom serving Phoenix is already looking forward to the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta.
The Jetta is an enormously popular nameplate, so it should come as no surprise that we're very excited to get a glimpse of the all-new 2019 model. We're confident that our customers will be, too! An All-New Take on an All-Time Favorite When the 2019 Jetta debuted at the North American International Auto Show earlier this year, we got a great look at what to expect from the all-new model. We can't begin to say how excited we are to be adding this new Volkswagen Jetta to the lineup at our Phoenix area dealership later this year.
With an all new exterior design, a sprawling range of interior options, and a 1.4L TSI engine under the hood, the 2019 Jetta is shaping up to be one of our favorite Volkswagen models yet. We're particularly drawn by the available 10-color ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated leather seats, and 400-watt BeatsAudio® system. “The Jetta has long been Volkswagen's best-selling vehicle in the United States,” said Hinrich J. Woebcken, CEO of the North American Region, Volkswagen, “and we expect that this all-new car will continue to resonate with buyers in the compact sedan class. With its combination of great technology, fuel-efficient drivetrains, sporty styling, upscale interior and amenities, and fun-to-drive nature, we expect that the Jetta will make a huge splash in the compact sedan market when it goes on sale.”
