It's that time of year again…. Are you planning a trip for the Holidays? Let us help you get your vehicle ready for the Winter season at NO CHARGE. Please stop in anytime during our Service Department's business hours for a Complimentary Winter Pit Stop Service. Winter Pit Stop Includes: Checking/adjusting tire pressure, Inspecting tire tread and wear conditions, Wheel alignment check, Battery health test, and Checking and topping off oil, washer and coolant fluids. Maintaining your vehicle for the Winter Just as we need a warm jacket to fight the cold or some rain boots to stomp through the mud our vehicles also require some care for the change in seasons.  Let me help explain why these winter checks are extremely important. Tire pressures : With the change of ambient temperatures, you can expect a change in your tire pressures. For every 10-degree drop in temperature, the air in your tires decreases by one PSI (pound per square inch). It is im...

Aaaah….November! Cooler temperatures are upon us, the holiday season is about to get started and it’s time for all of us to reflect on what we’re thankful for.    At Hewlett Volkswagen, we have had a banner year with huge year over year growth. We could not have done it without you. The growth is a result of multiple factors but one of the most obvious is product. Volkswagen has introduced so many new products that even those of us who are here every day are amazed. The all new 2019 Atlas and totally redesigned 2019 Tiguan are now representing over 50% of our total new vehicle sales. Those two products alone are game changers in that Volkswagen is now serious about the SUV business and they promise to bring more.    The all-new redesigned Jetta is flying off the lot as well. This car is totally different from the ground up featuring the latest technology. As you’ve seen in the TV commercials, Volkswagen made the switch to BEATS Audio sound for the...

Tire and Wheel Alignments Are Important By Tom Fornshell, Service Manager Hewlett Volkswagen is currently offering free wheel alignment checks on the service drive! If you have never had your alignment checked or if you just bought new tires from a discount tire store, you should have this service performed. (Chances are, that discount store doesn’t check or even perform alignments.) Safety First! We don’t say “Safety third”…we say “Safety first”. There isn’t anything much more important than your safety and the safety of those around you. Lights, brakes, tires, and windshield wipers are the big four safety items on your car. Most all Volkswagens will tell you if you have a light burned our (except reverse lights.) We ask almost every time we see you if you have replaced your wipers in the last year, and we measure your brake pads every time we have your tires off.   It’s all about safety.   I only remember I need new wipers when I find myself in a T...
