General Car Care Tips

1) Wiper blades should be replaced every 6 months. Exposure to the weather and sun causes the rubber to become dry and brittle.

2) When tires aren't inflated properly it's like driving with the parking brake on and can cost a mile or two per gallon. Under-inflated tires are not only a saftey hazzard but also waste fuel by forcing the engine to work harder!

3) Tire rotations should be done every 6 months. Rotating your tires periodically is an essential part of tire maintenance. The main purpose of regularly rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle.

4) An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust and bugs chokes off the air and creates a "rich" mixture - too much gas being burned for the amount of air, which wastes gas and causes the engine to lose power. Replacing a clogged air filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10 percent, saving about 15 cents a gallon.
