Transmission fluid leaks display a beautiful rainbow, but it is not something you want to be viewing.

Tire Tread Matters.
When it comes to safety, tires play an important role on your vehicle. Tires have evolved over the years. Early on, tires were made with wood and soon other materials were added for a smoother ride. Today tires are made of rubber. The tread is the part of the tire that meets the road. Make sure you keep an eye on the wear and tear of your tires. We will inspect your tires if you don’t know how to judge the safety.

If you have snow & ice on your windshield It is not necessarily a good idea to let your wipers do the ice/snow removal. It can be very dangerous while driving as it may make visibility worst. If you are not driving and you are letting the wipers clear the window, that can be damaging to your wipers causing you to have them replaced sooner than you would have if you used an ice scraper.

Tip Tuesday: Traditionally, drivers know it’s time for a tire change when the groove measures only 2/32 of an inch, but a loss of safety can occur even before this point. The more worn tire tread grows, the more moisture gets trapped under the tire. This can cause the car to skid instead of break to a safe stop in wet conditions. Get your tires inspected by an expert at Town and Country to check for excessive wear and tread depth and make sure your vehicle will keep you safe.
Safety always comes first. We’re operating on a “zero contact” service system-- schedule your appointment and pay over the phone, then use our 24-hour key drop box. When working on your vehicle, we make sure to use gloves and disinfect all keys, door handles, steering wheels, and shifter handles before and after service. Your safety and the safety of our employees is our top priority.
Vehicle Troubles? We perform a complete complimentary digital inspection of your vehicle with photos each time you bring your vehicle in for service. We strive to prevent future service issues in order to protect your vehicle from any damage and to prevent an unfortunate situation.

Tip Tuesday: Turning your A/C on regularly helps keep the system running smoothly. But if it starts to take too long to cool down your car, an inspection may be necessary. It’s time for a vehicular check-up if there’s a significant air quality change or no cool air emerging from the vents. The A/C compressor might be malfunctioning-- if the refrigerant leaks, the poisonous liquid could be ingested by children, pets, or other animals. Stay on top of your car’s maintenance and schedule an inspection today!
According to altdriver.com, the Ford Model T became the first mass-produced car in 1908. By 1925, the car cost about $250-- unthinkable from today’s perspective! We can hardly believe how far the auto industry has come. Today, there are over 1 billion cars in use around the world! That’s a lot of oil changes...
Don’t wait until you’re panting to fix your car’s air conditioning. The A/C system works year-round, cooling you and your passengers in the summer and clearing your windows on wet, chilly days.

Did you know that one of the most iconic cars in cinematic history almost didn’t make it into the film? According to altdriver.com, Back to the Future was originally supposed to feature a refrigerator as its time machine. However, the director was afraid that children would see the movie and accidentally trap themselves inside fridges trying to time travel! So the movie features a modified 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 instead. We don’t know about you, but we think the change was for the better.
Your car battery is the heart of your vehicle’s electrical system. Without it, your car would not get the electricity it needs to run-- even starting the vehicle would be impossible. Don’t wait until you’re stranded at the side of the road-- have your battery and charging system inspected regularly and changed every four to five years as required.
Life isn’t Fast and Furious. Make sure to stay safe out on the roads, especially in wet or foggy weather. Allow for extra braking distance and keep up-to-date on auto maintenance. Never drive while distracted from the road-- whether visually, manually, or cognitively-- and always put safety first.

However, the director was afraid that children would see the movie and accidentally trap themselves inside fridges trying to time travel! So the movie features a modified 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 instead. We don’t know about you, but we think the change was for the better.
Your car battery is the heart of your vehicle’s electrical system. Without it, your car would not get the electricity it needs to run-- even starting the vehicle would be impossible. Don’t wait until you’re stranded at the side of the road-- have your battery and charging system inspected regularly and changed every four to five years as required.
Life isn’t Fast and Furious. Make sure to stay safe out on the roads, especially in wet or foggy weather. Allow for extra braking distance and keep up-to-date on auto maintenance. Never drive while distracted from the road-- whether visually, manually, or cognitively-- and always put safety first.
