Whether you’re a new driver or you have a new driver, learning how to drive a vehicle can be a stressful situation. Even after they receive their license, letting them go out alone leaves you worried and wishing they would just come home already! That’s why it is important to continuously teach, remind, and set a good example for new drivers.

It is a fact that the number of accidents in correlation with new drivers is way higher than those of drivers that have been driving for years. This is understandable though, with the lack of experience accidents happen, but that doesn’t mean we cannot prevent them. So if you’re a new driver, check out the tips below and make sure to enforce them when you are driving. The more you practice something the easier it is to become a habit. Safe driving means fewer accidents. Mom or dad, if you’re reading this be sure to enforce this for your new driver as well, but remember that these apply to you as well. Children learn by example. So if you are disobeying these rules, chances are your child will too.

 

Tips:

Keep your cell phone off:

  • It’s no secret that texting while driving is a huge epidemic when it comes to all drivers, but especially when it comes to teen drivers. The best thing you can do for yourself is to turn off your phone completely, or if that is too hard for you, put it on airplane mode or a mode that disables messages. It might be hard to not have your phone but it will be better than getting into an accident and hurting yourself or someone else.

 

Turn your headlights on:

  • Using your headlights increase your visibility and help others see you. Even if you think it is bright enough, you should still have them on at times like the early morning or early evening (dusk).

 

Obey the speed limit:

  • Speeding is a major contribution to teen driving, especially when there is a lot of traffic. Obeying the speed limit is important because it gives you time to react in the case you need to come to a stop fast or something else happens unexpectedly.  

 

Driving solo:

  • According to the DMV, having one passenger with a teen driver behind the wheel can double the risk of an accident. Teen drivers do not have the experience and skills of an adult driver, having even one person in the car can cause an extreme distraction…now imagine a full vehicle! Driving solo is a much safer bet in most instances.

 

Practice defensive driving:

  • Always be aware of the traffic ahead, behind, and next to you. It’s better to know your surroundings and have a plan in case an unexpected incident occurs. Stay at least one car length behind the car in front of you at slower speeds, and maintain a larger buffer zone with faster speeds.

 

Choose a safe vehicle:

  • If possible try to drive a vehicle with the most up-to-date safety features such as anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and airbags, and one with an excellent crash safety record

Are you going to be traveling anywhere this Thanksgiving? You’re not alone! Thanksgiving is one of the most traveled holidays and you might want to be prepared for anything and everything! It is important to make to proper preparation in order to have a smooth, stress-free travel.

If you’re planning to take on the road, the first thing we suggest you do is to check out the weather for wherever you’re going and the surrounding areas. You want to make sure that if you can avoid traveling through stormy weather, you do. You should also get your vehicle into tip-top shape before you hit the road. It might be annoying spending the money to service your vehicle, but it is a necessity! If you’re worried about spending too much money on maintaining your vehicle, we suggest you check out our service specials which can help you save big on minor and major repairs!

 

It is always important to make sure your vehicle is prepared for anything. I would be a really good idea to make sure you have a DIY Emergency Kit. Being prepared for anything is always ideal, from minor cuts to more major issues like a breakdown. Make sure your kit has jumper cables, blankets, first-aid, tool-kit, tire pressure gauge, tire inflator, flashlight, flares or reflectors, non-melting snacks (granola bars are my personal favorite).

 

Once you know what you’re heading into and you’re confident your vehicle can handle it, it’s time to start packing! We suggest not over packing, trust me, I know that is a lot easier said than done but you will thank yourself later! Overpacking takes up more space in your vehicle and depending on the size of your vehicle that could cause for a very uncomfortable ride. It also doesn’t help to overpack because it is extra weight in the vehicle, which causes poor MPG and more money out of your pocket to refill!

 

If you’re traveling with kids it is important to make sure you are prepared to keep them entertained, if not it could be a very long ride for you! Make sure to bring along any electronic games, movies, books, arts and crafts, and more! It never hurts to look up some travel games for the kids to play. Be sure to bring rewards for the kid(s) who behave well or win the game to keep them focused on the game which will keep them entertained and keep you stress-free.

 

We hope that you never have to worry about a breakdown or any other vehicle issue, but things do happen so we just want to help make sure you’re prepared! We hope you have a safe and fun holiday filled with great people, good food, and lots of love! Happy Thanksgiving!

 

 

 

If you don’t live under a rock, you’ve probably noticed that it is starting to get a little chilly out and by a little, I mean a lot! Cold weather can have negative effects on your car, especially your vehicle’s battery. Making sure your battery is strong enough to make it through the cold winter weather is important, I mean, you don’t want to end up stuck on the side of the road in freezing cold, right? Yeah, we didn’t think so! So, do yourself a favor and check your battery’s life or bring it to us and we will check for you! If you find that your battery needs to be replaced and you’re a DIY kind of person, we’ve done the hard work and listed out an extensive how-to below! Check it out, and if you have any questions feel free to give us a call! If you feel this is too big of a task for you, we suggest scheduling an appointment with our service center and we will do it for you!

 

  • Check the owner’s manual for the location of your battery or simply pop open the hood and take a look.
    • More often than not, the battery will stick out and you’ll notice it right away.
    • Identify the positive posts from the negative. Positive posts/cables are often red and have a plus sign on it.
    • Negative posts/cables are often black and have a negative sign.
  • Using a wrench, loosen the bolt that has secured the negative terminal and cable to the negative post.
    • Once the bolt is loose, pull the cable away from the post and set off to the side out of the way. Repeat with the positive terminal.
  • Remove the clamp or whatever may be holding the battery in the holding tray.
    • Carefully, lift the battery out of the tray and take note that it will be heavy.
    • If you notice corrosion to the battery cables, terminals, holding a tray, or posts, use a wire brush and anti-corrosive cleaning solution.
    • Make sure that all parts are dry before replacing the battery.
  • Insert the new battery into the holding tray and secure it once more with the clamp.
    • Remove the plastic covers that cover battery posts and install anti-corrosion washers over them.
    • Apply a thin layer of grease to posts and terminals before connecting the positive terminal to the positive post first.
    • Use a wrench to tighten the connector until snug and repeat for the negative terminal.
  • Give the battery a wiggle.
    • If it moves, you need to tighten the clamp to ensure that the battery is not able to move when you’re driving along the roadway.
