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.

Hello October! We are officially in full swing of fall and that means football season is in full force, and what’s a football game without a good old fashion tailgate? This week we have some tips and tricks to help you turn your vehicle into the ultimate tailgate hotspot and you will for sure dominate any and all tailgates for the rest of the season! It doesn’t matter if your vehicle is small or large turning your vehicle into tailgate central is easier than you think!

Create a Tailgate Toolkit:

• The preparation starts before you even leave the house, get a picnic basket, toolbox, or really anything you can turn into your kit
• Make sure include the basics like food, drinks, tables and chairs, coolers and ice, napkins, plastic ware, and utensils.
• One more must-have is the grill – not only to get barbeque, but it also comes in handy for when the season turns cool.

Keep everyone entertained:

• The best tailgating parties need more than food and good conversation. Install some gutsy stereo speakers so everyone can hear your party soundtrack or the pre-game highlights.
• If you’re really trying to take your tailgating up a few notches, you may consider bringing portable phone chargers, wireless speakers and a portable satellite TV so that you and your guests can watch the pre-game action at the same time. Talk about cool points!

Decor:

• If your car is your pride and joy, you might reluctantly decorate it for your tailgating party. Fortunately, there are plenty of decorating ideas that won’t damage your precious paintwork.
• Erasable chalk ink markers, magnetic team decals, vanity team license plates, and don’t forget the team-themed napkins, plates, and cups!

Location:

• To ensure you find the perfect spot for your tailgate, arrive early to get first dibs on parking spaces. Sheltered spots to keep the sun, wind, and rain away are generally a wise choice!
• Finally, tie a helium balloon in your team colors to your car with a long piece of string so your party guests can find you.

Fall is here and we can’t get enough of it! Fall is the perfect time to get behind the wheel and go on mini adventures or just to get out for a long drive to see the changing leaves. But what is a long drive without a killer playlist to accompany you? Not one I want to be a part of that’s for sure! Don’t have time to put a killer fall playlist together? Don’t stress we’ve got your back! We’ve put some of our favorite fall songs together and made you a playlist that will give you all the “feels” and have you grabbing your fur boots and pumpkin spice lattes and hitting the road! Check it out!

• The Lumineers –  Stubborn Love
• The Neighbourhood – Sweater Weather
