Car’s can be tricky and our car’s battery can be even trickier. Identifying why your car battery keeps dying can make you want to pull your hair out but we are here with some tips on what to do, how to diagnose, and how to maintain a healthy battery!

What is causing your battery to die:

1. Have you accidentally left your headlights or a dome light on? If you leave a light on your battery will drain overnight – check for interior lights or headlights when exiting the vehicle. Some vehicle headlights tend to stay on longer than others but a faulty system may leave them on until you return to the vehicle.

2. Hot & Cold temperatures play a role in draining a battery, if your battery is strong, the weather won’t do any damage. But, if your battery is old and weak, the weather will kill it. That means it is time to replace your old battery with a healthy one!

3. Corroded or loose battery connections are known for killing batteries. If there is corrosion on your battery cables, bolts or battery itself, clean it with a battery-corrosion solution. Corrosion will prevent the charging system from charging up your battery when your car is not in use.

4. The charging system can be your issue, as well. If your vehicle tends to die while you’re driving, your charging system may be the problem. Loose, stretched belts or worn out tensioners can and will prevent your alternator from working properly.

Maintaining your batteries life can be as simple as 1, 2, 3! Stay on top of corrosion and clean your battery when necessary, battery connections should be snug and secure, and avoid leaving lights on when you exit the vehicle. Tip! If you are not using certain plug-in features, unplug them – everything you plug in will pull from the battery, eliminate unnecessary drains by unplugging things that are not in-use!   

It is always a good idea to stop in and have your battery tested if you are unsure where your battery’s life stands! Our service department can assist you with that with a quick appointment – schedule one here!

As we transition into the new season – and summer right around the corner – it is a good idea to swap out our tires. But those old ones could come in use, again, especially if they are winter tires. It is important to store tires properly to ensure that when you take them out next season they are not damaged or destined for the dumpster. Check out our tips below and see if you have been properly storing your tires!

Before storing the tires make sure they are clean. Nothing is worse than letting your tires sit in the grimy build up from the road. Grab a tire brush, soap and water and get scrubbin’. Don’t forget to clean your wheels if you leave them in your tires. Once they are clean, dry them completely and avoid applying tire products.

After their bath, each tire should be placed in its own large, airtight plastic bag for storage. Lawn and leaf bags work very nicely here, the bag should be big enough to cover the entire tire. Do not allow any moisture to enter the bag. Remove as much air as you possibly can and zip tie or tape the bag closed. This step will keep tire lubrication in the bag and will prevent oil evaporation.  

Keep the tires in a cool, dry location – preferably climate controlled. Basements work the best for this purpose. Places like attics or garages are exposed to extreme temperatures and can have detrimental effects on tires. Also, keep tires out of direct sunlight, UV rays and heat are known to can cause damage to tires.

Store tires vertically. Stacking tires horizontally can cause stress and tire distortion. It is important to keep your tires off of the ground, as well. Place a clean piece of wood and place your tires on top.

If you choose not to store your tires in plastic bags, consider storing them white to white and black to black to prevent staining of the white rubber.

Lastly, if you have tires on a vehicle that you do not plan to use for a long period of time, remove them. Inactivity over long periods of time can be more harmful to the tires than frequent drives. Driving on your tires helps flex the tire and maintain oil dispersion.

Tires are constantly aging, these tips can help slow the process and will allow you to get a longer, better use out of them!

When it comes to the car buying process one this is for sure – it can take forever. As the paperwork piles up, it is important to bring a few items with you to ensure that the process goes smoothly and as quickly as possible. This week’s blog is a guide for what to bring when you are almost ready to cross that finish line! Take a look below at the things that you should bring to make it a hassle-free process for everyone involved.

• Your driver’s license: Your I.D. is proof that you are a legally registered driver, this is important since you have to drive off the lot. Your driver’s license is a way to identify that the check or other forms of payment are actually yours, too.

• Your payment form: Whether it is a bank, credit union, or personal check, pre-approved loan, or any other payment form – be sure to bring it. If you are planning to put money towards a down payment you will need some way to pay for it.  

• Proof of insurance: In order to drive your new vehicle off the lot, you will need proof of insurance. It’s a good idea to call your insurance company ahead of time and add the new vehicle to your existing policy. You’ll need the car’s VIN number to set this up. You can also call from the dealership and have them fax or email the insurance card to the dealership.

• Title/ Registration for your trade-in: If you are trading in a vehicle, be sure to bring the title. If you have a co-signer or a lien against the car, get the appropriate signature ahead of time. This part can be tricky and sometimes causes a hold-up. Give the dealership a call if you are unsure how to go about this. Also, you will need a copy of your current registration.

• Loan account number: If you are trading in a vehicle and still owe on your loan, bring the loan account number. This number is on one of your payment stubs. You can also call the lender beforehand and ask how to facilitate the transaction.

It is also a good idea to clean out your vehicle beforehand. This will save you time when your paperwork is done and you are finally ready to drive off the lot!
