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.

Tailgating Maintenance Tips

Make the Most of Tailgating Season!

Colorful leaves and cooler weather are great, but the thing we most look forward to in fall is enjoying every single moment of tailgating season! After packing up the car with all your snacks, friends and

family, the last thing you want is a breakdown. So before you hit the road with your precious cargo, make sure your vehicle is up-to-date on its maintenance. Here’s a quick checklist to think about before you hit the road.

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.
