Greetings!
Yep - they're here! The holidays - already! I don't think I'm quite ready for it yet but I will tell you what I am ready for and that is our annual road-trip to Tennessee for Thanksgiving. This is one crazy time for my entire family. There are usually about 30 of us staying at one house. Insanity? Maybe. Loads of fun and wonderful memories? Yes, every year. Having said that, we will be closed Wednesday, 11/25/09 - Friday, 11/27/09 and will be open the following Monday, 11/30/09.
What are your Thanksgiving traditions? Did you know you can share that and much more with us on our Facebook page?

I just want to take a moment
and say thank you for the recent repair job you performed on my
car. My car now runs like a new car, and I am so excited about it. It means so
much to have someone so highly trained and honest to entrust my vehicle to. It
makes automotive repairs a walk in the park and vehicle maintenance a breeze.
Again, I just wanted to say thank you and how much I appreciate your care and
services.

Tips for a Fun, Memorable & Budget Friendly Road Trip
|
 A car trip. Yes, voluntarily confining yourself to a contained space
with your kids for hours... days, even. There will be spilled drinks,
crying, fighting, and at least one shower of cold french fries. But do
it anyway. On a recent road trip to Vancouver, Sandra Fransen of
Portland, OR, found herself asking "Are we there yet?" as often as kids
do. But she'd definitely do it all over again. "It's about spending
time with your family and having fun," she says. And with gas prices
more reasonable, a road trip can be a truly memorable, budget-friendly
vacation.
There are ways to make your trip fun, memorable and budget friendly. Click here to read these trip saving, fun inducing tips from Parenting Magazine. Do you have your own road-trip time, money or sanity saving tips? Click here to share them with us on Facebook!
One sure-fire way to prevent your road trip from creating horrible memories is to ensure that your vehicle is Road Trip ready. We are offering FREE vehicle check overs before your holiday traveling begins. Send us an email or call us (985-662-5027) today to schedule your free check over.

Are your headlights dull and dingy?
|
Do your headlights look like those on the left? Many people think that they have to purchase an entire new headlight. But - you don't! We offer a fantastic headlight restoration service which will return your dingy, cloudy headlights back into headlights that are bright, clean and shiny. By treating your headlights with our restoration service you dramatically increase your nighttime vision as well. Just look at the headlights above - can't you see how the lights on the right would light up the road at night so much more effectively?
In addition to the headlights you can improve your visibility with our Aquapel Treatment paired with a great pair of Rain X Wiper Blades.
Are you ready to improve your vision? Give us a call (985-662-5027) or email us today.
Do you have a friend with cloudy, dull headlights like those above? Forward this issue to your friend by clicking the link below! They'll thank you!

Is Your Car Ready for a Holiday Road Trip?
|
 Deep down, you know your car should be checked out before hitting
the road for the holidays, but with so many other things left to do,
some folks put it off. Bad idea, says the Car Care Council, especially
when motorists realize that in as little as 10 minutes, they can
determine if their car is ready for long-distance travel.
The 10 minute pre-trip checkup recommended by the council includes the following:
- Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering and brake and
transmission, as well as windshield washer solvent and
antifreeze/coolant.
- Check the hoses and belts that can become
cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or show signs of excessive wear. These
are critical to the proper functioning of the electrical system, air
conditioning, power steering and the cooling system.
- Check the
tires, including tire pressure and tread. Uneven wear indicates a need
for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald
spots.
"In a very short amount of time, motorists can identify how
road-ready their vehicle is and then take steps to have the problems
fixed before heading out for vacation," said Rich White, executive
director, Car Care Council. "It's a small sacrifice compared to the
inconvenience and potential safety hazards of breaking down many miles
away from home. Plus, if repairs or maintenance are needed, they can be
done by a repair shop that knows you and your vehicle."
The council also recommends that wipers and interior and exterior
lighting on the vehicle be checked prior to a road trip, and that
motorists restock their emergency kit. As a rule of thumb, wipers
should be replaced every six months and lighting should be checked
monthly.
To save on fuel costs during the trip, the council suggests that
motorists avoid aggressive driving, observe the speed limit and avoid
excessive idling. Gas caps that are damaged, loose or missing should be
replaced to prevent gas from spilling or evaporating.
Remember! We are offering a FREE pre-trip check over at Peak. Call (985-662-5027) or email us today to schedule your appointment! |
