Raise your MPG

It’s great to have a newer car that gets really good gas mileage, but if you don’t have such a vehicle or would just like to spend less at the pump, here are a few tips to help you increase your miles per gallon:

We need your referrals

God Bless Our TroopsWe all look forward to the day when our troops can come home.

As a nation, we must stand together—undivided and in prayer—and take action to get them back, doing everything within our power to support them, their families, and our communities. Let us keep in mind that our troops not only sacrifice their lives to provide us with security and freedom, they also support our small businesses.

What's That Noise? Could it be my brakes?

BrakesBrakes that make noise are telling you something. When brakes squeal for attention, it may mean that they are worn or that parts are missing. Or, it could mean that the pads need to be replaced. Brakes that make a grinding noise are probably telling you that the lining is worn to the metal backing.

Air ConditioningOnce the weather starts to turn warm, drivers’ thoughts turn to...air conditioning. Some are just anxious to turn it on, but others may be wondering if it will work as well as it did before fall arrived. There’s generally only one way to find out.

Watch Those Walkers!

Pedestrian SignAlthough the number of pedestrians killed by cars has declined significantly in the last 30 years, we know that you can never be too careful. As people begin to walk more for exercise, the chances of pedestrian accidents increase. Also, in the cooler months, it is darker in the mornings and grows dark earlier in the evenings. At these times, it’s especially important to be alert for walkers.

Shopping vs. Servicing

People have very strong feelings about purchasing new cars—they either love it or hate it. Ironically, statistics show that women tend to enjoy the experience more than men. Nearly ten percent more women than men felt shopping for a new car was a positive experience, and women accounted for fewer than half the number of men who hated the chore.

The Choice is Yours!

You can have it maintained regularly and keep it in good running condition, or you can wait until something suffers from lack of maintenance and complain about the cost of car repairs. We hope you’ll choose to maintain your car regularly and avoid costly repair bills down the line.

Why Change An Air Filter?

Air FilterIn some ways, air filters are unsung heroes for your car. They are only made of paper, but they perform an important job by keeping debris and other contaminants away from the inside of your engine. If it’s not changed regularly, it will become congested with dirt and unable to do its job.
