Whether you can believe it or not, the warm summer season is now officially behind us in our rearview mirrors, and fall is here to stay. Before we know it, the freezing months of winter will be in full swing, and the roads throughout the greater Pittsburgh area and beyond will be exposed to the harsh snowy weather that we experience every year...

Keep your gas tank full during the cold winter months this season, and you will be able to avoid a heap of trouble and expensive repairs! Just a simple habit like this can make things run smoothly.

There are many things that we do to make sure that our vehicles are maintained and tuned up so that they run well and have minimal issues. We can also avoid issues by just keeping the gas tank full. It may seem like a small matter, but if you let your gas level get low, you will have more air in your tank. More air means more condensation, which can freeze in the cold winter temperatures. If that happens your fuel lines can freeze preventing gas from reaching the engine, and your car will not start.

A road trip can be fun and exciting if you are fully prepared for the long journey and prepared for all that can happen along the way. If you spend enough time planning and getting ready for your trip in the not-so-distant future, you should be able to make the absolute most of all the time that you spend driving on the roads.

As you might imagine, bald tires are accidents waiting to happen. If you replace tires before the tread disappearing, you keep roadways, drivers, everyone else on the road safer.

A bald tire is one considered having 2/32 inches of tread left or less. This doesn’t seem like much, but it’s only one-fifth of the initial average of 10/32 inches of tread. As such, you might run through a tire’s available tread quickly, as there’s not much, to begin with.
