Understanding the impact extreme weather conditions have on your car battery is important. It is always a good idea to have your battery checked at our dealership. Your battery can be impacted by both cold and hot weather.

Your battery has been designed to perform effectively in a wide range of temperatures. When the weather conditions are freezing, your battery capacity can decrease by approximately twenty percent. When the temperature reaches 22 degrees Fahrenheit, this increases to fifty percent. During the winter, your battery is susceptible due to an increased draw from the...

In order to be a good driver it is important that you understand how to drive in rough weather. A large portion of accidents occur during bad weather patterns. Rain is something that often confuses drivers- especially if your part of the country is not used to large amounts of rain. There are different steps that you can take which will help to dramatically reduce the chances that you will get into an accident in the rain.

The most important thing to remember when driving in the rain is that speed kills. Since most other drivers will be on edge…

The most common reason for installing a dash cam is to protect yourself from liability if involved in an accident or to prevent yourself from becoming a victim of insurance fraud. These are incredibly important reasons, but there are also a few reasons that while less important, are still incredibly valuable.

One of those is documenting a road trip or other journey. Often one of the best parts of any trip is not the destination, but the path you take to get there. A dash cam offers an easy and simple way to capture all of the most important and…

Before you venture out for your next summer vacation, it is a good idea to make sure that your car is safe and ready to hit the road. Part of that is knowing how to safely pack your luggage to avoid injury or balance problems with your vehicle.

You can check the load capacity for your vehicle in the owner's manual. Smaller SUVs typically have a load capacity of around 900 pounds. Keep in mind that this includes passenger weight, which means that you should not necessarily plan to pack your vehicle to the brim. You should also be…

When you get a new car, the dealership probably will throw in a few extras. One of those might be a free spare tire. These are typically temporary tires that can get you back on the road in a flash. However, you shouldn't drive on a spare tire for too long.

These are not built to handle the load of your vehicle and create additional stress for the other tires. If you want to prevent this, then you should buy a full-size spare tire or ask the dealership if the tire can be upgraded to a tire that is…

Tire alignment may seem boring, but it's actually very important for your car to function properly. Though the name references the tires, it's actually more about the suspension. Adjusting the tire alignment really means adjusting the angle at which the wheels and tires sit.

Your alignment can be knocked out of line if you drive over something, go through a deep pothole or hit a curb. Signs of possible alignment problems include the vehicle pulling in one direction, tires that wear unevenly or vibrations in the steering wheel.

If your vehicle is rear-wheel drive, then it has a rear differential - which means that you need to consider this during your service appointments. Rear-wheel drive means that the two rear wheels are pushing your car forward. They move at different speeds, though, so a differential is designed to synchronize their movements.

When you turn a corner, for instance, force and direction of the turn require different wheel motion. If you’re turning left, then the left wheels will be the inside wheels. They have a shorter distance to travel to make the turn than the outside wheels.

Despite the laundry list of benefits that come with it, rotating your tires can still be an easily neglected maintenance duty by a vehicle owner. Extending the life of your tires, proper handling in difficult road situations, and even better gas mileage are the benefits of doing regular tire rotations.

A tire rotation is the process of moving tires to different locations around the vehicle to avoid excessive wear to a tire. Front and back tires tend to wear unevenly over the course of time. Rotating the tires from front to back, left to right, or diagonally by a tire…
