tailgating tips from Phoenix area VW dealer
Football season is just around the corner. As you anticipate watching the first Cardinals game of the season, our Phoenix area Volkswagen dealership has some great tailgating tips for your next parking lot party!

Become a Cooler-packing Expert

At Lunde’s Peoria Volkswagen, we understand how frustrating it can be to pack a cooler for your tailgating shindig. You want to make sure that everything stays cold—and fits! But packing the cooler doesn’t have to be as confusing as a game of Tetris; with these helpful hints, you’ll be packing a cooler like a pro in no time. Before you begin, make sure everything, especially perishable foods and beverages are chilled—nobody likes warm beer. Put the cans and bottles at the bottom of the cooler—this will help to keep them cooler for a longer period of time. Next, add a layer of ice to cover the drinks—allowing the ice to fall between any crevices. Next, add any food containers, and finish it off with another layer of ice. All Volkswagen models offer plenty of trunk space, so there’s no reason why you should have to leave your cooler behind! how to pack a cooler

Grab the Toolbox

A toolbox may seem like a weird must-have item for a tailgating part, but trust us; a toolbox is actually the perfect carrying case for BBQ essentials. The main compartment can fit spatulas, bottle openers, tongs, can openers, and skewers. The middle compartment can hold trash bags, paper towels, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and much more. Finally, in the bottom drawer, you can pack your favorite condiments, spices, and seasonings!

Slice Burger Toppings In Advance

Slicing and packing up burger toppings in advance means that you’ll have less work to do later on and allows you more time for fun. Plus, it offers an easier way to transport everything in one convenient container. Not to mention, showing up to the parking lot shindig with pre-sliced burger toppings will surely impress!

Phoenix area 2019 Volkswagen Jetta

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.

Washing your car

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!

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.” For more information on the all-new 2019 Jetta, including when you can expect to find it here at Lunde's Peoria Volkswagen, be sure to contact us by calling (602) 714-3968 today.
