Changing Your Wiper Blades

There’s a saying, “You can’t get where you’re going, if you can’t see where you’re going.” Nothing could be truer, especially when it comes to your windshield wiper blades.

An industry rule of thumb is to replace your wiper blades every six months, or whenever you notice a reduction in visibility. However, even if you recently replaced your wiper blades, the approaching of winter months is one of the best times to inspect those blades.

Beat the Heat: When to Replace Your Antifreeze Coolant

Vehicle maintenance can be easy to neglect because life can get busy! However, it’s important to pay attention to your car’s maintenance, especially in summer when the temperatures get dangerously hot.


Your car’s cooling system is properly functioning when antifreeze, or coolant, is circulating through the engine and radiator. This circulation helps to reduce heat levels produced by your car’s engine. Radiator fluid is just as important in cold temperatures as it is in hot weather. Its circulation keeps the engine block from freezing when your car is in park or overheating when it is running. Without routine maintenance and check-ups, the temperature of your vehicle’s engine can get hot enough to damage itself.

Don’t be Idle this Winter

Winter always packs a cold punch in the morning. Just like how it is harder for humans to get out of bed when it’s cold out, it used to be harder for your vehicle to startup in the cold. Letting your vehicle warm up by starting the engine and letting your engine idle for several minutes used to be the norm. However, vehicles nowadays do not need to be “warmed” up, so idling before you drive is unnecessary.
