I want to thank my amazing crew from Affordable Automotive who volunteered their Saturday morning to come out and help clean up the Midway between Durham and Chico. You are all Superstars!!!!! I appreciate everything you do me and our community.
After so much smoke being in the air lately, it is a good idea to check your air filters and have them replaced if needed!
It's important to have your vehicle checked with the changing of the seasons! Call us with any questions. 👍🏼🍂
Check your tread! There are several ways to inspect your tires. You can visually check their general condition and look for abnormal and uneven wear patterns. You can also perform the “penny test” or check if the “wear bars” are visible to see if there’s sufficient tread remaining to safely operate the vehicle under all driving conditions.

Spending time in the sun is just as bad for your car as it is for you, as sun damage can cause paint and interiors to fade. To prevent problems, park in a garage when possible and invest in a sunshade! ☀️
Today is National Tune-Up Day. Don't forget to check on your car's heating and air system! 🔥❄
Car Fact: Avoid embarrassing gas station situations, like not knowing which side your tank is located on. The little arrow adjacent to your gas gauge is points toward the side of your car that it's located!

Winter is known for being harsh on roads, and that in turn can be harsh on your vehicle! If you find yourself frequently traversing roads with huge potholes or rocks that have emerged from the asphalt, it could ruin your car's alignment or damage suspension components.
With the rainy weather we've been getting lately, don't forget to monitor how your windsheild wipers are doing! They should be replaced about once a year to perform the best.
⛽ Reminder! Improve fuel economy and save money by checking your tire pressure, replacing clogged air filters and using the right motor oil!
