Drive Your Vehicle -
We’re all focusing on our health more than ever these days as the coronavirus pandemic has us on lockdown. We’re sanitizing and distancing and doing everything we should be, but some of the dramatic changes to our daily lives could have consequences we don’t immediately realize.
Take your car, for instance. If you’ve been in work-from-home mode for the past few weeks, or staying home because of a shutdown at your job your trusty vehicle has probably been sitting idle, and that’s not necessarily a good thing. There’s a handful of things you should be doing to ensure your car remains in good shape when you’re not driving it daily to and from work.
Here are just a few things that can go wrong if you let your car sit for too long without driving it:
A Dead Battery – As you drive, your vehicle’s engine charges the battery via the alternator. When the car sits for too long, the battery can slowly drain, leaving you with a car that won’t start.
Poor Engine Performance – If water condenses inside your fuel tank it will eventually settle at the bottom since it’s heavier than the surrounding fuel. When it’s sucked into the fuel lines, it can make your car chug or stall. This is especially true in cooler climates where condensation inside the tank can happen more easily.
Tire Flat Spotting. Your car’s weight is always pushing down on the tires and after weeks of sitting still, they can develop flat spots. Tires also gradually lose air over time. Upon driving, this can cause the tires to wear unevenly as they begin to return to their regular shape, potentially shortening the overall life of the tires.
Component Breakdown – Many of your car’s components, from the A/C system to the fuel pump, are built to be used regularly. Fuel pumps are notorious for going bad after sitting unused for too long, and a fuel pump replacement can be incredibly costly.
Brake Rust – If you’ve ever driven your car immediately after a few days of rain you may have noticed your brakes squeak and squeal for a little while afterward. Brakes rust incredibly quickly, and it’s the job of the brake pads to not only stop your vehicle but to keep the surfaces of the brake pads and rotors nice and clean. Rusty brakes can be dangerous and even cause damage if left to sit for an extended period of time.
There are many other things that can potentially cause a problem for a vehicle left sitting for too long, from rodents nibbling on engine wires to insects invading the interior, but the best way to stop all of these problems in their tracks is to drive your vehicle.

We’ve transitioned the shop over the last few weeks to a sewing “assembly line” of sorts. Over 400 face masks have been made by Bob, Veronica and their sweet helper Bella. Masks have been donated to local health care facilities and shipped to family and friends in other states. We send heartfelt well wishes to everyone during this COVID-19 crisis. Stay well and stay strong!
Happy 55th Anniversary to a wonderful couple! Veronica and Bob Hunt.
