Valentine’s Day Love for your Car

Have the alignment checked at least annually.  Normal wear and tear and especially potholes  can take their toll on steering and suspension. A wheel alignment reduces tire wear, improves fuel economy and handling, and increases driving enjoyment and safety.

Inspect the windshield wipers and lights, since ipers and lights play a major role in safe driving.  Replace blades and bulbs that need to be replaced, especially wiper blades.  Don’t wait until you are driving in a blinding rainstorm or snowstorm to find out they don’t work properly.

The best tips for winter driving in snow and ice is to accelerate and brake gently and slow down.

You can read more about driving safety and preventive maintenance on Examiner.com, where I’ve written a couple of dozen articles on the subject.

Drive safely.  Valentine’s Day and every day.
