Holiday Vehicle Prep

1. Have a professional check your fluid levels: Although this seems as such an easy enough task, there is a safety risk if not performed properly. Our certified technicians can check your fluid levels, and the systems they control.

We recommend checking Brake Fluid, Coolant Fluid, Power Steering, Transmission and Windshield Washer Fluid in addition to Motor Oil.

2. Ensure Proper Tire Care: The only think keeping your vehicle safely on the road is your tires. During the Holiday Season, the additional wear from the extra workload increase the chances of irregular and premature wear if your tires are not properly inflated you run the risk of overloading them. Be sure to have your tires, alignment, suspension and steering components all checked out to make sure they are in good condition.

3. On Schedule Oil & Filter Changes: There’s nothing like a well-oiled machine to ensure safety and longevity on the road. Next to you, trust us when we say regular oil changes are your vehicles best friend. Oil changes are the least expensive form of maintenance you can do to maximize engine life and reduce repairs.

4. Check your battery, test the heater, lights and wipers: Checking your battery before it fails, will save you additional stress during the holiday season. While checking your battery, take a few minutes to test your heat. Nothing is worse than finding out your heat isn’t working when it’s chilly outside. In addition, check your interior and exterior lights to ensure everything is working properly. Lastly, no matter what Mother Nature throws your way, you’re going to need to see the road. Test your wiper blades for signs of wear and replace if necessary.

We want you to enjoy your Holiday Trips to see family and friends, without worrying about any vehicle problems that could arise. We recommend following these tips for stress free travel this Holiday Season. Enjoy your Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving

The day of the week, the time of day and the weather are all factors in determining how safe your Thanksgiving drive will be. We’ve listed several tips, so that you can make it as easy as it needs to be:

Take off work early. Wednesday and Sunday are the busiest days to travel during the Thanksgiving holiday. If you have a few extra vacation days, consider starting your Thanksgiving travel on Monday or Tuesday.

Take your car in for a check up. Schedule Service with us, so that you can be assured you’re ready for the road.

• Perform basic maintenance. Check wipers, fluid levels, change your oil.

• Check your battery and inspect your tires for proper inflation and tread depth. And don’t forget about your spare tire.

• Have your brakes inspected.

Slow Down and Enjoy the Trip. Expect to hit traffic and for your trip to take longer than normal. By building in extra time to reach your destination, you’ll minimize the stress on everyone.

Avoid distracted driving. You should always be attentive and alert when driving. Consider pulling off the road to eat, make a phone call, or to send a text message.

Keep a safe following distance. If you drive during the day or in good weather conditions, it’s best to leave a three-second gap between you and the car in front of you.

Make sure you have your charging cords. While more and more cars are manufactured with touch screens, many of us still don’t have this feature.

Don’t eat turkey and drive.

What To Do If Your Car Overheats

When you are driving around in your car, one of the most common yet easily avoided problems can be overheating of the vehicle. Should this happen to you it can be a source of worry, frustration and confusion. Thankfully, dealing with an overheated car isn’t quite as challenging as it might sound: when managed in the right way, in fact, it can be pretty easy to administer. Let’s take a look at what that might entail.

If you are worried about overheating, or it has happened before and you had no solution, you should try and implement the following:

• Look for Steam. Steam is the obvious sign – no smoke without fire, and no heat without steam. If you see steam pouring out, then you have an engine that cannot handle itself. Steam is not something that you should just ignore – and it certainly isn’t something that you should expect to see.

• Lower The Temperature. Next, be sure to turn off the A/C unit and then turn on your heating unit. That might sound counterproductive, but turning up the heating to full directs heat from the engine to elsewhere. Just make sure you avoid this on a sunny day – you might melt! Being serious for a moment, though, your vehicle’s health and safety is far more important than feeling a touch too warm for a few moments.

• Shut Off The Engine. A no-brainer, but getting the engine off nice and fast is pretty important, too. You should look to do this as it stops your car from heating up more and gives the engine a nice little breather in the first place. If you are not comfortable with the next step, then get out your phone and get some roadside assistance to help.

• Get It Cooled. Pop up the hood of your car, and you should immediately feel a waft of heat hitting you. Also, only open up the hood if you feel like you can either handle the heat or that it does not feel too dangerous. This is very important, as going in too early can be just as dangerous as doing nothing at all.

• Look For Coolants. Now, your vehicle should have a coolant section near the radiator. Typically, this will be made of plastic and is going to be SUPER HOT so don’t just grab onto it or you’ll need a trip to the hospital, stat. Check the coolant gauge, too, and see where it sits – is it normal? Or has it risen to a level that has your eyebrows raised? If it’s low or empty, then you might have a problem. This is the part where most people make the problem worse, so if you are not confident call in an expert to help. Really, the best bet to avoid any kind of disaster is to hire some kind of roadside assistance. There’s no point taking risks if you are unsure, so be safe!

Summerize Your Car

It’s summertime and that calls for being out and about more on the roads. Are you planning a summer road trip, traveling on the weekends to your summer cabin or spending your evenings out enjoying the hot summer nights?

It’s time to think about your vehicle and the seasonal maintenance it might need. Here are some tips to ensure safe summer driving this August:

1. Beat the Heat. Your cars cooling system is critical to your summer driving so make sure to give it extra care through the season.
2. Air Conditioning. Make sure your air conditioning won’t quit cooling for you this summer, inspect the system for any worn out, damaged belts and that it’s clear of any debris.
3. Summer Tread. Opt for All Weather tires or get some summer tires on your vehicle. You’ll get more speed, better handling and better fuel efficiency with the right tires.
4. Brake Check. Summer weather patterns can bring all sorts of weather. You’ll want to make sure your brakes are in check and ready to go for what summer weather may bring. Hot weather can also cause brake pads to wear more quickly so keep tabs on yours and make sure they are in good shape.

Last but not least we hope you are enjoying this summer season and don’t forget those sunglasses!
