Get Road Trip Ready
2020 has us all needing a getaway! It’s your last chance to road trip before the kids are back to school or e-learning so plan some fun for the family and hit the open road. Pick a spot on the map and get ready to go with these road trip pro tips PLUS a checklist to get you on your way.
Tidy Up: Even if you’re not a neat freak you’ll want to start with a clean car. Run the vacuum, wipe down the windows, and remove bulky items you won’t need while you’re traveling. If you won’t be golfing you can leave the clubs behind! Don’t forget a roll of paper towels for spills along the way. Ask any Mom, a wet wash cloth in a baggie can save the day! PRO TIP: Pack a few garbage bags to make clean-up a breeze.
Bring Home With: You’ll for sure want to pack some comforts of home for the ride. A long ride is that much better with your favorite blanket, a pillow, and a few essentials like antibacterial wipes and small first aid kit. Remember, good radio and cell service is not always easy to find so have back up tunes saved to your device. PRO TIP: Don’t forget the charging cords. A device with a low battery in the middle of nowhere is what nightmares are made of. Especially if you’re traveling with kids!
Organization is Key: Take a minute to sort through those extra compartments before you go. Make sure you have a current insurance card, your registration info, and know where your AAA card is. If you’re not already a member of AAA or other roadside service club look into it! Peace of mind goes a long way when you’re traveling and need a tow, lock your keys in the car, or the battery dies. PRO TIP: Write down or print a list of phone numbers just in case. If something happens to your phone you’ll be glad you did.
Apps on the Go: Do yourself (and your data plan) a favor and download before you go. There’s a plethora of apps to make your trip easier with real time traffic info, cheap gas finders, and foodie finds along the way. PRO TIP: Roadtrippers.com is both a website and an app so you can take your research with you and discover fun stops along the way.
Snack Attack: Road trip calories don’t count so stock up! It’s literally one of the best parts of taking a road trip. Plan ahead and configure your cooler so it’s accessible and items are easy to grab. If your adventure buddy has four paws don’t forget their treats and water for on the go. Fresh fruit and veggies will balance out the sugar and carbs. PRO TIP: Fill a few water bottles halfway and toss them in the freezer. They’ll act as ice packs for your trip snacks and you’ll have water when you need it!
Ready Your Ride: America is less “on the go” than ever which means your car has been sitting more than usual in 2020. Making sure your ride is in top notch condition will make your trip safer, more enjoyable, and easier on your wallet! Getting your car checked out a week before you plan to leave will give you time to fix any potential issues. Once you hit the road even a quick fix can delay your adventure or leave you stranded with kids, pets, and cranky parents. Let your mechanic know you’re heading out of town and make sure you’re ready to roll. PRO TIP: estimate your fuel funds BEFORE you go? Check out the user-friendly fuel calculator.

Should I buy New or Pre-owned?
If you are trying to decide between purchasing a New or Pre-owned vehicle, there are benefits of both. When it comes to purchasing a new vehicle, as the customer you get to have the satisfaction of knowing your vehicle is brand new, which eases the mind when thinking about getting things fixed etc. For a Pre-owned vehicle, these cars typically are cheaper,( way cheaper if higher mileage) than the model that you would purchase if you went NEW. Both are determining factors when customers decide on purchasing a car, price and out of pocket cost on
repairs.
Volkswagen Award
Lou Bachrodt Volkswagen joined the highest rank of Volkswagen dealers by winning the coveted 2017 Customer First Club Award. Lou Bachrodt VW is one of only 50 Volkswagen dealers (out of 652 in the United States) who have been recognized for achieving this level of customer service.
We love Trade-ins!
When it comes time for you to purchase your trade in, many are skeptical that they will be low balled and not get what they think they should get as far as value. Trade ins are important because if not upside down, you can use that money towards your down payment of a new vehicle. At Lou Bachrodt we strive in making sure that you leave not only with a new vehicle but a great experience. Being in business since 1953, it makes sense how we have managed and grow as a GM dealer. With monthly specials on Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Volkswagen, BMW and MANY pre-owned brands! The opportunities in saving is endless.
Trade ins!
Let’s face it, when you purchase a new vehicle, you aren’t going to keep it for the full term of your loan, especially if its for 60-72 months. That’s when trading your vehicle comes into play. There are so many factors in why trading your vehicle is beneficial. First, your credit was probably low when you first purchased a car so you couldn’t get your dream car. Another reason you are more knowledgeable about cars now can make an educated decision. And there is a plus side, if the value of your trade in, exceeds your estimated pay off, the remaining amount of money can be used as your down payment, so no money out of pocket! Come to Lou Bachrodt where we strive to make sure to give you the most for your trade in vehicle.
Extended Warranties
When purchasing a new or pre-owned vehicle always make sure your car comes with an extended warranty or one that is available for purchase. This particular warranty differs from your power train warranty. This warranty covers almost anything that doesn’t have to do with the engine. When researching warranties, pay attention to the specifics as far as coverage. People think of extended warranties as an extra bill to pay however, later on down the line they can help prevent you from coming out of pocket any money and help you save thousands!
