           Is a maintenance service worth more than an oil change?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Yes. It helps prevent breakdowns and emergency repairs.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           How often should I get a maintenance service?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Every 6 months or 8000 km, whichever comes first!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Do I still need it if my car feels fine?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Yes. Many problems develop silently and slowly.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Can a lube shop replace a maintenance service?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           No. Their model focuses on oil service, not full vehicle health monitoring.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Does a maintenance service cost more?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Slightly, but it saves money long-term.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           An oil change is a transaction; a Maintenance Service is a long term strategy.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
             If you want to drive with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind, maintenance matters.

           1. What the Brake Warning Lights Actually Mean
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The brake warning lights are your car’s most important alerts. They each mean different things, but it’s always related to one of these systems:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Low Brake Fluid:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             As your brake pads wear down, the fluid level drops. It can also leak from hoses or calipers.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Worn Brake Pads:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             Some vehicles have sensors that trigger the warning light when pads are getting thin.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            ABS System Issue:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             If your anti-lock brake system (ABS) light is on, it could indicate a malfunction in the system that prevents wheel lockup.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Parking Brake Engaged:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             Sometimes, it’s as simple as the parking brake not being fully released.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Regardless of the cause, these lights should never be ignored! They're your vehicle’s way of saying, “I can’t stop as safely as I should.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           2. What To Do When They Come On
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Here’s what to do if you see your brake or ABS light turn on:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ol&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Check the Parking Brake:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             Make sure it’s fully released.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Inspect Brake Fluid Level:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             If it’s low, you might have a leak or worn pads.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Avoid Hard Braking:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             Drive gently and give yourself extra stopping distance.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Book an Inspection Immediately:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             If the light stays on after checking the basics, schedule a visit with Kinetic Auto Service.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Our technicians will diagnose the exact cause using advanced diagnostic tools and a full visual inspection.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           3. What Happens If You Ignore Them
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Driving with your brake warning light on isn’t just risky, it can be expensive. Low fluid can cause air to enter the brake lines, reducing stopping power and possibly causing an accident. Worn pads can damage calipers. Ignoring ABS warnings can lead to loss of traction during sudden stops. In short: the longer you wait, the higher the repair bill and the bigger the safety risk.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           How Often Should You Replace Your Brakes? (A Regina Driver’s Guide)

            Every time you press the brake pedal, you’re trusting your vehicle to stop safely but how often should you actually replace your brakes? The answer depends on
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;

            . In Regina we experience VERY extreme weather and driving conditions: hot summers, cold winters with salty roads and stop-and-go traffic. These conditions can wear out brakes faster than you’d expect. Here’s what every driver should know about brake lifespan, warning signs, and how regular maintenance at

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            - that’s a big range. Why? Because brake wear depends on:

             Frequent city driving or hard braking shortens lifespan.

            Putting off brake maintenance doesn’t just affect performance, it affects your wallet. When pads wear down completely, metal grinds on metal, damaging your rotors and calipers. What could’ve been a simple pad and rotor replacement can turn into a much more expensive repair. Early inspections catch these issues before they snowball. That’s why Kinetic Auto Service recommends a

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Saskatchewan’s weather is tough on vehicles. Salt, moisture, and temperature swings accelerate corrosion on rotors and brake lines.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

            To combat this, we use

           high-quality pads, coated rotors and high temperature lubrication

           A few small changes can extend the life of your brakes:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Avoid sudden stops whenever possible.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Leave space between you and the vehicle ahead to brake gradually.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Ensure your shocks and struts are functioning - weak suspension causes the vehicle's weight to transfer more to the front, making your brakes work harder.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;

            Keep up with brake fluid flushes.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Routine care adds thousands of extra kilometers to your brake life and keeps your ride smoother and quieter.

           Your vehicle gives you subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) hints that something’s wrong. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to schedule a brake inspection:

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           2. Why Brake Maintenance Matters More Than You Think
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Your braking system is made up of pads, rotors, calipers, and hydraulic components that all work together to slow your car. Over time, these parts wear out — and when one piece is neglected, the others work harder, accelerating wear and reducing safety.

  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It’s not just about avoiding breakdowns — it’s about protecting yourself and everyone on the road.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

           3. Brake Fluid: The Unsung Hero of Stopping Power
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Brake fluid transfers force from your pedal to your wheels. But here’s the thing: it absorbs moisture over time, which can cause corrosion and poor performance.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            That’s why Kinetic recommends a
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           brake fluid flush every 3 years or 48,000 km.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Replacing it with clean, high-quality fluid keeps your braking system healthy — and prevents internal rust or seal failure that could lead to costly repairs.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Our main goal at Kinetic is to help you keep your vehicle safe and reliable
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           , saving you money on your long term transportation costs. Check out these 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           6 reasons to repair
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            the vehicle you own:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           1. Lower Repair Costs vs. Higher Monthly Payments
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Even a major repair, like replacing a transmission, is typically a one-time cost. Compare that to the steady stream of monthly payments that can come with a new vehicle - often $500 or more. By choosing a repair, you can save thousands in financing charges and avoid locking yourself into years of debt.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           2. Lower Insurance Costs
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Older cars typically cost less to insure. Upgrading to a newer model often comes with higher premiums due to the increased value of the vehicle and advanced technology that can be costly to repair after an accident. Sticking with your current car can keep your insurance rates lower and more predictable.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           3. Better Use of Savings
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           The money you save by repairing instead of replacing can be invested elsewhere: retirement savings accounts, your child's education, or even a well-deserved family vacation. Repairing your vehicle is a short-term expense, while buying new ties up a larger chunk of your budget for years.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           4. Extend the Life of Your Investment
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you’ve already paid off your car, repairs can breathe new life into a valuable asset. Routine maintenance, like fluid changes, timing belts, or spark plug replacements often costs a fraction of what a new car payment would. With proper care, many vehicles can run reliably for 300,000 km or more.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           5. Avoid Depreciation
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           New cars lose value fast - as much as 20-30% in the first year alone. Your current car has already absorbed that initial hit, meaning every dollar you spend on repairs is helping to maximize its remaining value.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           6. A Greener Choice
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Repairing and maintaining your car is more environmentally friendly than manufacturing a new one. Extending your vehicle’s lifespan reduces waste and lowers the overall environmental impact.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           ​
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           With this being said, there are times when repairing DOES NOT make financial sense: 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           the vehicle has very high mileage and routine maintenance was not performed, rust has weakened the structural integrity of the frame or body, when the vehicle no longer serves your needs. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

           "Green Flags"
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
            to look for when choosing an auto service facility.

           Everyone has had a bad experience at some point in their lives,
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           whether it was at an auto service facility, a contactor for our home or even at a restaurant.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           we definitely know all of these are the important ones to look for in an auto service facility.

           And then there's the magic of compound interest. Think of it like a snowball rolling down a hill, except instead of snow, it's your money growing bigger and bigger over time. The longer you have to invest, the more your investments can potentially grow, which means more money in your pocket.

           QUICK TIPS - FUEL SAVINGS EDITION
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;

           With fuel prices on the rise again, and exciting summer road trips coming up, we thought you could use a few tips to ensure you are saving money on your fuel costs!
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           1) Slow down and enjoy the ride!
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            Drive smarter, not harder. Tailgating, weaving in and out of lanes and driving aggressively might make you feel like a race car driver, but it's not doing your fuel economy any favors (or your wallet, when the police hand you a speeding ticket). So, slow down and get to where you're going safely!
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           2) Keep your tires inflated!
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            Low tire pressures increase your car's rolling resistance, making it work harder and burn more fuel. This also wears your tires prematurely, costing you big bucks when you have to replace them more frequently. So, make sure your tires are properly inflated, and your wallet will thank you. 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           3) Get rid of the junk in your trunk!
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            Carrying extra weight around is like carrying around a ball and chain - it'll slow you down and make your engine work harder. Some helpful items to leave in your trunk are an emergency kit, a tire inflator and a booster pack (allowing you to boost your own vehicle instead of relying on a stranger). So, ditch the unnecessary items in your car and save some fuel.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           4) Keep up with maintenance!
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            A car that's not properly maintained will burn way more fuel, as it needs to work harder to accomplish the same tasks (think about getting back to an exercise routine after taking a break - if you don't maintain your body, it's much harder to do the workout). So, let us help you keep up with regular maintenance like fluid changes, air filter replacements and tune-ups, so your vehicle can continue running efficiently.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           5) Use cruise control on highway trips!
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            Not only does cruise control give your leg a rest, it also helps you maintain a constant speed, which is more fuel-efficient than constantly accelerating and decelerating. So, tap your free foot to the beat of the road trip tunes while you save money on fuel!
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;

            Look for your tire's specified pressure 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           on the driver's door jam
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            or in your owner's manual -
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            NOT ON THE TIRE!
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            The pressure listed on your tire is the absolute maximum pressure the tire can hold, this is meant to be used by tire technicians when installing tires on the rims. 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           If your fuel economy has been poor, book an appointment for us to inspect your vehicle and give you our recommendations to keep it running efficiently and save you money; there is no cheaper vehicle than the one you already own!

           We are super excited to share with you that we have started using some exciting new software! Yes, you read that correctly, we get excited about software programs!!
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           This program will help us keep track of the most common, recurring maintenance items for your vehicle. These items have time and mileage intervals that were decided by automotive professionals, like us, who have no affiliation with the vehicle manufacturers. Why is this important to us? Because, every day, we SEE the internal damage caused by the manufacturer's extended time and mileage intervals. 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Every system that requires maintenance, especially the engine, transmission and drivetrain components, cost a significant amount of money to replace or overhaul. We don't want you to feel forced into purchasing a new vehicle, due to a catastrophic failure, when we can help you avoid it! 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Our main goal is to help you save time, stress and money by ensuring your vehicle is safe and reliable, for as long as you would like to drive it, because we KNOW the vehicle you own is the cheapest form of transportation on the market....except for taking the bus or walking, but who has that kind of time!!
          
                    &#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           We will be implementing this program over the next month or two, so bear with us while we get our processes sorted out ;)

           QUICK TIPS - BATTERY EDITION
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           A healthy battery is a happy battery! By following these 5 tips, you can help ensure that your vehicle's battery is always ready to go when you are:
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           1 - Keep It Clean: 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           A clean battery is a happy battery! Moisture can corrode your battery terminals and oils on the battery case can cause it to discharge. This leads to decreased performance and potentially even failure. Give your battery a quick wipe down with a damp cloth every now and then, and clean the terminals with baking soda and water to remove corrosion.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           2 - Drive Your Car Regularly: 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Your car's battery receives a charge from the alternator while you drive, so if you're not using your car regularly, your battery will start to lose its charge (especially with all the computers in vehicles these days). Take your car out for a spin every now and then to keep your battery healthy and happy. If you don't have the need to drive your vehicle regularly, we can install a battery maintainer to keep your battery at an optimal charge.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           3 - Check The Alternator:
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            The alternator is responsible for maintaining your battery's charge while your car is running. If your alternator is malfunctioning, your battery may not be getting the charge it needs. If you notice your battery light coming on intermittently or staying on, book an appointment to have your alternator checked by one of our technicians. 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           4 - Don't Let It Discharge:
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            Leaving your car's lights or electronics on can drain your battery quickly. Make sure you turn everything off before you leave your car to avoid coming back to a dead battery. Also, avoid listening to your radio or using any other vehicle electronics while the engine is off and the alternator is not maintaining the battery's charge.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           5 - Choose The Right Battery:
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            Not all car batteries are created equal. Make sure you choose a battery that's appropriate for your vehicle and driving needs. We can help you choose the right battery for your car and ensure that it's installed properly.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Bonus Tip:
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            always remember to thank your battery for its service. After all, it's the heart of your car's electrical system! 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           If your vehicle has seems sluggish when you start it or you have had to boost it recently, book an appointment for us to test your electrical system and give you our recommendations on how to ensure you don't get stuck with a dead battery!
          
                    &#xD;
