Holiday Travel Tips

posted on 11/17/2017 9:27:04 AM

Few things typify the holidays like hitting the road to share the magic of the season with family and friends. But with the road choked with other drivers, winter weather hazards, and long empty stretches of sleepy asphalt, a holiday road trip can quickly turn ugly. Keep the joy meter pegged by taking a few precautions to prepare for your trip. 1. Get Your Pre-drive ZZZZZs - Drowsy driving is a largely unheralded hazard, taking a back seat to more socially active no-no's like texting and drink...

Driving Safely with Nature

posted on 11/17/2017 8:25:21 AM

North American roads cover millions of miles of landscape through habitats that vary from desert and grassland to mountain or forest and everything in-between. While we enjoy the freedom of the open road, we are nearly always crossing through the homes of wild creatures which may venture out on the road at the worst time possible. Follow these tips to avoid a collision with our natural neighbors. 1. Pay Attention - It may seem like the most basic of instructions, but in our tech-crazy world t...

Don't Forget Your Spare

posted on 9/13/2017 4:43:24 AM

Oh, the lowly spare tire. It doesn’t get much respect. Today, a lot of vehicles don’t even come with a spare tire anymore, not even the little “donut” space-saver spare. Instead, to cut weight and free up space, they come with a compressor and a can of a Fix-a-Flat-style product in hopes that you can get back on your way again.

posted on 9/13/2017 4:40:28 AM

Winter tires versus all-season tires…which is the right choice for you?

The Holidays Are Coming – Is Your Vehicle Ready?

posted on 9/13/2017 4:37:53 AM

Where did this year go? Before you know it, it’s going to be time for the holidays, and that can mean travel in some pretty trying conditions (and we don’t just mean restless kids in the back seat). Is your vehicle ready for some interstate miles? • Tires: It’s a good idea to have your tires rotated every 5,000-7,000 miles to ensure even wear. With that in mind, it’s easy to just schedule a tire rotation with every oil change, since the vehicle will be up in the air on a lube rack anywa...
