5 Service Features to Improve the Safety of your Vehicle
Why should you have your vehicle inspected every spring?
The number one reason for having everything checked out is safety. It is important for your own safety, as well as other motorists on the road. Finding issues early can save bigger problems later and possibly prevent an accident.

Worn tires can affect your stopping distance!
Worn tires are more than just taking a risk at a flat or blow out, they can also affect your stopping distance. The more worn your tires are, the more stopping distance you will need. In an emergency situation where you have to throw on your breaks, this can be dangerous with worn tires.
Maintain your Tire Pressure
Did you know that we should be checking our tire pressure at least once a month? Low air pressure can cause a host of problems from blowouts to accidents.
How often should you replace your windshield wipers?
Of course, we know that we need to be able to see where we are going. Windshield wipers are our main defense again rain and other elements to keep our vision clear. If you notice a difference in visibility, or they can begin to squeak, chatter, skip, smear – it is time to replace your windshield wipers. At the very least, windshield wipers should be changed every 6 months.
