Here’s the what’s-watt on electric vehicle battery capacity and charging times.
Here are three good reasons you should rotate your vehicle's tires from front to back or side to side.
1.Tire rotation can preserve balanced handling and help maintain traction. That's especially important when roads are slick from rain or snow.
2. Many tire manufacturers require regular rotation in order to keep their tire warranties valid.
3. Rotating your tires helps even out tire wear. By allowing every tire to work in each of the vehicle's four positions, you'll promote even wear across the tire tread pattern. That prolongs tire life.
Hasn't been a while since you had your vehicle's tires rotated...then download this money saving coupon and bring it by the shop.

Check your tire pressure, including the spare. Tires can lose one pound of pressure for every drop of 10-degrees Fahrenheit so it’s important to follow the pressure outlined in the owner’s manual for your vehicle. You should also inspect tires for bulges and bald spots.
Fall Driving Tip: In the Fall the the colorful leaves are beautiful...But wet leaves are especially dangerous as they make roads very slick causing loss of traction and making steering and braking more hazardous. Please be careful out on the road.

Vehicle Fleet Tip: SAVE WITH PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE!
Properly maintained vehicles reduce unscheduled repairs and downtime. Preventive maintenance includes oil changes, tire rotation/inspection and general safety vehicle inspections. Whether you’re following oil change intervals at a set mileage or use an oil life monitor, be sure to maintain tire rotations and overall vehicles inspections on a regular basis. All too often, this is the only time a vehicle is inspected all over for fluid levels, air pressure in tires and more. Remember with 16 Bays the Auto Shop of the Carolinas can handle your fleets maintenance needs.

One great trick that every car owner should know involves finding out how to tell if you need new tires - it'll only cost you a penny!
The next time you're curious about whether or not it's time for new tires, take a penny and insert it into your tire's tread groove. Make sure that Abe Lincoln's head is upside down and facing towards you at the time. If you can see all of Honest Abe's head, that means that your tread depth is less than the recommended 1/16 inches (1.6mm) - meaning that it's time to head over to the shop and pick up a new set of tires before you get yourself in some trouble.

Fleet Vehicle Tip: Remember “one size does not fit all”
Managing a fleet of vehicles is even more difficult than usual when your vehicles are all different. A variety of vehicles can be useful in some scenarios, but when possible standardization of your fleet’s vehicles increases efficiencies and reduces inventory, training, and downtime
Here's a post for the real gear heads...but everyone will love the vintage Motorcycle stunt riding at the beginning of the video. This video from 1937 explains how your cars differential works. This brilliant piece of engineering, allows you to take the tightest turns without fighting your tires or tearing your drivetrain apart. But even if you understand implicitly how a car's differential works, it's kind of difficult to explain.
