DON’T LET THE HOLIDAY PRESSURE GET TO YOUR TIRES!

With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it’s easy to overlook routine car maintenance items – don’t let checking your tire pressure be among them! Tires are one of the most important safety features of your car.

As the only part of the vehicle that comes in direct contact with the road, they are crucial to its drivability. Under inflated tires will negatively affect the stability of your vehicle, cornering, and your ability to brake effectively – all of which are important when driving in winter weather.

Something to think about – when a tire has less air in it, a greater portion of its surface is coming into contact with the ground. This will increase the amount of friction between rubber and road, ultimately causing premature wear. Conversely, if a tire’s pressure is too high, not enough of its surface will come in contact with the ground. Your car will feel bouncy, and you will notice a decrease in traction and stopping distances.

So, how often should you check your tire pressure? We recommend at least once a month, if not more frequently (We do it every time you stop in!). A lot of factors affect tire pressure and they won’t necessarily appear under or over inflated to the naked eye. Additionally, tire pressure changes with the weather – it decreases by about 1lb per every 10 degrees drop in temperature. So if the last time you checked it was in August, by December your tires could be seriously under inflated.

BE READY FOR YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING RUNS!

Everyone loves a white Christmas, but it can make finishing your shopping and getting to your family gathering a challenge. We know how important it is to know how to navigate our normally snowy and icy conditions. Here are a few tips that will help keep you on your merry way!

In order to maintain traction and avoid skidding, accelerate and decelerate slowly. Remember that everything takes longer when there’s snow and ice on the road; so don’t be in a rush. A normal stopping distance on dry roads is three to four seconds but on icy surfaces that could increased to a minimum of eight to ten seconds.

With that in mind, get to know your brakes before an emergency. The best way to stop is by using the ball of your foot to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. If the wheels lock up, continue your steady pressure while the Antilock Brake System (ABS) does its job. Also, it’s actually better to avoid coming to a complete stop. It takes substantially more inertia on snow-covered roads to start from a full stop than it does while your wheels are still rolling.

Avoid accelerating up hills. Applying gas on a snowy incline will only make your wheels spin. Try to get your speed up before you reach the hill and let that inertia carry you to the top. Once you’re at the peak, continue down the hill as slowly as possible. The worst thing you can do on an icy incline is stop – it’s very difficult to start moving again and you could start to roll backwards.

The best winter driving advice is to stay home. If you don’t really need to leave, don’t. Even if you’re a competent winter driver, not everyone else on the road is and it’s just not worth the risk.

Summer Vehicle Maintenance Tips

Summer Vehicle Maintenance Tips

We have finally reached the times of beautiful weather and road trips! However, just because Winter is finally over doesn’t mean you stop taking care of your car. In fact, you want to pay even more attention. Winter has taken a toll on the roadways, and the coming summer heat will be sure to be tough on your vehicle. Everything from the paint down to the tires is subjected to harsher than normal conditions. Gone unchecked, some issues could leave you stranded in the heat. Here are a few tips to help make sure you and your vehicle is ready to take on the summer.

Getting Your Vehicle Summer Ready!

Windshield Wipers

Winter weather can be brutal to your windshield wipers, making them almost useless if you get caught in a summer rain shower. Replace them at the beginning of the summer and you won’t have to worry.

Tires

Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; check them while they’re cold before driving for any distance. Don’t forget to check your spare as well and be sure the jack is in good condition. Examine tires for tread life, uneven wearing, and cupping; check the sidewalls for cuts and nicks. An alignment is warranted if there’s uneven tread wear or if your vehicle pulls to one side.

Tire pressure is also important, especially in summer months. As the outside temperature climbs, the air in your car’s tires expands, so check your tire pressure when the tires are at a normal temperature – before you set out on a road trip. Also, be sure to use the proper tire pressure for your car, not the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall. Check the recommended tire pressure label in the door jamb or glove compartment, or consult your owner’s manual.

Filters

Air Filter: You should replace your air filter twice a year, so now’s a good time to get that 5-minute job out of the way.

Oil Filter: Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual

Replace other filters (fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended more often in dusty conditions.

Fluids

Cars need fluids during extreme heat. Engine fluids are essential to keep a vehicle running smoothly. Most fluids not only lubricate, they also serve as coolants by helping carry heat away from critical components. When fluid levels are low, this cooling effect is reduced, and the possibility of overheating increases. Drivers should check all vehicle fluids including motor oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and brake fluid to ensure they are filled to the appropriate levels. If any fluids need to be topped off, be sure to use the type of fluid specified in the owner’s manual. If you have to top off any of your vehicles fluids repeatedly, this may indicate a problem. Promptly have your vehicle inspected and repaired as necessary. Failure to do so could lead to additional repairs or an unplanned breakdown.

 

Tips to Get Car Spring Ready

Wash Your Vehicle – Especially The Undercarriage

Wash your vehicle thoroughly. The Winter months have taken a toll on your vehicle, so it is important to wash away all of the salt, sand and debris that has accumulated. Road salt can cause damage to a car’s exterior, and it’s undercarriage ( That is where corrosive elements can do the most damage). Bottoms of doors can get coated with grime, so be sure to wash there as well.

Use a garden hose with as much water pressure as your system can muster to loosen winter grime and salt. Or, if you have a movable lawn sprinkler that’s low enough, set that under the vehicle to wash away what you can’t reach.

Spring is also a good time to check your entire vehicle for rust, which can worsen during the winter months.

Replace Wiper Blades

Wiper Blades go through a lot in the Winter. Check the blades to make sure the have full contact with the windshield and have not dried out. Also, refill the wiper fluid reservoir.

Check Tires

It’s important to check tire pressure after weather changes. Check your owner’s manual for the recommended pressure for your tire, and never exceed that. Higher pressure generally results in improved steering response and fuel economy, but a stiffer ride, and it wears out the tread in the center. Underinflation generally provides a smoother ride, but it causes tires to wear out at the sides. It also wastes gas because tires need more power to push the vehicle.

Also, rotate the tires. Rotating your tires extends the life of them and ensures safe driving

Check Steering, Suspension, Shocks & Struts

Your suspension system keeps your car up off the road. From there, it’s responsible for a smooth and comfortable ride. Suspensions keeps the car wheels firmly planted over bumps and through curves on roads and interstates. Your suspension system has many essential parts that do a big job. They should be inspected for damage and excessive wear at least once a year.

Worn shocks can increase the time and distance it takes you to stop your car in an emergency situation.

Winterizing Your Vehicle

As Winter Approaches it is important to make sure your vehicle is in a condition where you are traveling as safe as possible. To help better prepare for this season of driving here are some tips and suggestions on winterizing your car:

 

Check Your Antifreeze

Your antifreeze (the juice that goes in your radiator) is an essential part of your car’s winter protection. Your car contains a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze. Make sure the level is full and the mixture is close to 50/50. Many auto service stations and repair centers will check this mixture free, or you can buy a tester for around $5.

Only fill with premium brand anti-freeze, make sure to check your owners manual for proper anti-freeze type

Inspect Your Tires

Tires are frequently the most neglected vehicle component but are among the most important. Check tire pressure and tread depth before winter sets in. Under- inflated and worn tires will not provide sufficient traction – especially on wet or icy roads.

Replace Your Wipers

Install good windshield wiper blades

Check Your Windshield Fluid

Fill wiper fluid reservoir with de-icing solution

Check the battery

 Icy-cold temperatures can reduce a vehicle’s battery power by up to fifty percent. If the battery is barely turning the engine over now, it is likely to fail during winter. If your vehicle battery is older than three years, have it tested. Also, make sure the posts and connections are free of corrosion.

Inspect Your Spark Plug Wires

Cracked up plug wires affect performance, gas mileage and general reliability

Inspect Your Brakes

Quick visual inspection will give you peace of mind driving in cold harsh conditions

Check Your Engine Oil

Dirty oil makes it harder for the engine to turn over, especially in cold weather, resulting in premature engine wear. Check your owner’s manual for the recommended oil change frequency and replace the oil with the appropriate grade for the seasonal temperatures in your area.

Check Belts and Hoses

Modern materials have made belts and hoses very durable with relatively long lives, but they can deteriorate over time and fail without warning. 

Tune up the motor

Air, Oil and Fuel filters, including new spark plugs, ignition cap, rotor and wires. Ignition system needs to be in top shape to battle the cold.

 

Winter Vehicle Emergency Kit Items

Blanket – wool is best, as it still warms even when wet

Empty Gas Can – in case you run out

Warning light, hazard triangle, oRoad Flares -make it easier for someone to find you if things are really bad

Snacks – (durable ones) such as granola bars, jerky or dried fruit

Flashlight (with batteries) – preferably waterproof

First Aid Kit

Jumper Cables or a Portable Battery Booster – cold decreases battery life

Ice Scaper/snowbrush 

Car shovel

Hand Warmers
