Winter is Gone, But Not Forgotten

The beauty of spring isn't the only thing left behind when the snow melts. Nasty potholes uncovered from a winter's worth of freezing and thawing can severely damage your vehicle. If hitting a pothole is unavoidable, don't use your brakes. A rolling wheel sustains less damage than a skidding wheel upon impact. And, if you do hit a serious pothole, always have your alignment checked by a professional.

Grease is not Just for Squeaky Wheels

The old maxim about the squeaky wheel getting the grease isn't just for wheels anymore. It also holds true when it comes to your automobile's chassis. When getting your spring tune-up, have the technician lubricate your vehicle's suspension and chassis as well. This extends the life of the moving parts and keeps your ride squeak free.
