Did you know that your need to undergo maintenance, even when you don't drive it? While your car accumulates the usual wear and tear while driving, certain parts need maintenance even when the car is idle or hasn't driven in some time. The summer months, especially, bring the heat to Long Island, which can wear on tire pressure and battery life. However, there is a place you can go for maintenance on these and all other components of your Volkswagen. Welcome to Riverhead at Volkswagen, located at 1521 Old Country Road!
A Dedicated Service Center, Devoted to You
Your Volkswagen Jetta or Passat should be monitored, even when sitting in the garage or driveway. Weather extremes can influence parts like the battery or tires, causing one to lose charge and the other to lose pressure. Excessive heat or cooling will also cause the coolant/antifreeze of your car to deplete faster when the vehicle is active, which, in turn, leads to further strain on the engine. If you've recently gotten back into your car while working from home on Long Island this summer, make sure you stay aware of the signs your Volkswagen might need maintenance:
- Warning Lights: low tire pressure, low battery, check engine
- Slow or sluggish acceleration/cold cranking
- Engine stalling/unresponsive
- Excessively swaying, listing, or leaning
- Diminished headlight strength
