Tire blowouts can be scary and hard to navigate. To correctly handle a blowout, keep the wheel straight, wait for the vehicle to slow down, and stay calm.
The best way to avoid a blowout is to keep your tires at the proper inflation pressure. Check your tire pressure at least once a month!

- Fluids are topped off and filters are replaced

What is a brake bleed?
A brake bleed is the process of removing air from the brake lines to restore your brake system to its best. Over time, small amounts of air can become trapped in your vehicle’s brake line. Air in the brake lines can decrease the effectiveness of your brakes significantly. If your brakes feel soft or spongy, you may need a brake bleed.
October is Fall Car Care Month, and now is the time to remember how addressing certain items like brakes, tires, belts and hoses and fluids, including oil, antifreeze, steering, brake, transmission, and wiper fluids, will help keep your car running smoothly and efficiently, saving money at the gas pump.
Other areas of the vehicle, such as heating and air conditioning systems, wipers, and lights, should also be checked periodically. #CarCare saves you money!

As the days get shorter, it becomes increasingly important to check that your vehicle’s wipers and lights are all in proper working order.
You may not be able to see from the driver’s seat if a light isn’t working, so take the time to test all exterior lights and replace any if needed. Also, test your wiper blades and replace them if they skip, smear, squeak, or appear to be dried out or frayed.

What is a tire rotation, and is it important?
A tire rotation is just that - it is the process of rotating your vehicle's tires or in other words, switching the placement of each tire. The purpose of this process is to simply make sure that they wear down evenly, which makes it important in terms of extending the overall life of your tires. A good rule of thumb is to have this performed every 6 months or so.

"I bought my newly purchased used Mercedes Benz to have a diagnostic test done because I wanted to ensure that the vehicle was operable and in good condition. Ray the owner and the Mechanics were extremely friendly and courteous upon my arrival. I observed all of the certifications on the walls. Seeing those certificates made me feel comfortable because I only wanted a Mercedes certified Mechanic to work on my GL 550. The cost of the service was so reasonable considering I was quoted 3 times that price at the Mercedes Benz Dealership Service Dept. After the Mechanic looked at my vehicle I was told that it needed to be serviced and they suggested that due to the fact that I just purchased a used car the oil should be changed but other than that my baby passed with flying colors. I immediately gave them the green light to move forward with the oil change and maintenance. I was offered coffee water & juice while I waited in the office seating area. Overall my experience was above and beyond my expectations. I just took my car on a mini road trip for Thanksgiving and it was a blessing in disguise to know that my nerves and fears were at ease.

"Bay Diagnostic is the #1 shop for European cars and more. For smart ForTwo, they are the only choice. Don't surrender your bank account to Mercedes. Bay will do better work for far cheaper.
I have taken my car to Mercedes and was deeply dissatisfied with their work and arrogant approach to customer service. Bay is the opposite, delivering top-notch work with a smile.
Bay is old-school, Brooklyn strong. No lies, no coercion, just the truth. To date, they've replaced my muffler, entire transmission, clutch, valves, sensors, wiper motor, and have performed numerous oil changes.
Scheduling is a breeze, and they're conveniently located, with an enormous shop and easy parking.

In many cases, these vehicles can become the visual icon for the entire film. They also become extensions of the characters themselves — they’re not just props, they become key elements of the character development.

While catalytic converter theft is nothing new, there has been a spike in the last year of these critical vehicle parts. Interestingly enough, two of the three rare earth metals used in catalytic converters are worth more per ounce than gold, which could explain the increase in theft.
Hybrid models, such as the Toyota Prius, contain a higher percentage of these precious metals, making them more at risk. Parking in well-lit and enclosed areas such as garages, installing a cat shield, or installing a car alarm system are examples of ways to combat catalytic converter theft on your vehicle.

Want to know if you really need to warm up the car engine before driving, even during the cold winter months?

How Long To Warm Up The Engine Before Driving
Does turning on your car’s heater really help when the engine is overheating?
Yes! It draws warmth away from the engine and into the passenger compartment, lessening the burden on the engine's cooling system.
While the battery provides the power needed to start your car, the alternator is the component that recharges the battery to provide power for your vehicle’s electrical components using energy from the engine.
Alternators can last anywhere from 40,000 to 100,000 miles. A failing alternator has similar symptoms as a dying battery, so having your vehicle tested as soon as you have trouble starting your car or notice electrical failures can determine whether the issue is with the battery, alternator, or other starting and charging system part.
