It's important to have your vehicle checked with the changing of the seasons! Call us with any questions.

Check your tread! There are several ways to inspect your tires. You can visually check their general condition and look for abnormal and uneven wear patterns. You can also perform the penny test or check if the wear bars are visible to see if there’s sufficient tread remaining to safely operate the vehicle under all driving conditions.

Spending time in the sun is just as bad for your car as it is for you, as sun damage can cause paint and interiors to fade. To prevent problems, park in a garage when possible and invest in a sunshade!

Today is National Tune-Up Day. Don't forget to check on your car's heating and air system!

Happy first day of Fall, Chico!
