Greetings!

The national economy is still in bad shape and people are looking for new ways to save money. One thing you should never sacrifice is preventive maintenance on your vehicle. Our first article this month reports how that is costing motorists a lot more money in the long run.

We try to help out with money-saving coupons like the Pothole Special below that we've extended to the end of March. I also want to remind you of our Referral Program, which many of our customers have used to save significant money.

Neglected Service Costing Motorists
Putting off automotive maintenance and service can cost you more in the long run, with small problems growing into more expensive repairs. This article from ASE gives some specific examples of little things that, if neglected, can suddenly become big problems.
Best Luxury Cars Under $30,000
2006 BMW 3 SeriesUsing the Consumer Reports list of best and worst used cars, CNN compiled a  list of some of the best used luxury cars currently on the market in the $24,000-30,000 price range. As we would expect, nearly all of them are imports. Click to see which cars made the list.
Smart Features for Mature Drivers
Mature Drivers Logo
Who has more "mature drivers" than Florida? Probably no one. So it makes perfect sense that the University of Florida would team up with AAA to develop an 8-page brochure on the subject. See how certain automotive features can solve the specific challenges we face as we get older. Go to this page to read or download the brochure.
Get This Car Before James Bond
Aston Martin V12 VantageJames Bond drives a lot of cars. But he seems to have a preference for Aston Martins. The company is announcing the V12 Vantage next month at the Geneva Auto Show. Unlike a lot of concept cars, this one will actually be produced. Top speed is 190. Only 1,000 will be made, so be sure to order yours soon. We will be happy to service it for you. Read about it in this article.
