9 Steps For a Winter Ready Car

The last thing any driver needs is to break down in cold, harsh winter weather. A vehicle check now before winter arrives is a sensible way to be car care aware and avoid the inconvenience of being stranded out in the cold and with the unexpected expense of emergency repairs, says the Car Care Council.

“Winterizing your vehicle before the temperatures drop is a wise idea,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “An investment of an hour or two to have your vehicle checked is all it takes to have peace of mind and help avoid the cost and hassle of car trouble during severe weather.”

The Car Care Council recommends the following steps for winterizing your vehicle:

• If you’re due for a tune-up, have it done before winter sets in. Winter magnifies existing problems such as pings, hard starts, sluggish performance or rough idling.
• Have the battery and charging system checked for optimum performance. Cold weather is hard on batteries.
• Clean, flush and put new antifreeze in the cooling system. As a general rule of thumb, this should be done every two years.
• Make sure heaters, defrosters and wipers work properly. Consider winter wiper blades and use cold weather washer fluid. As a general rule, wiper blades should be replaced every six months.
• Check the tire tread depth and tire pressure. If snow and ice are a problem in your area, consider special tires designed to grip slick roads. During winter, tire pressure should be checked weekly.
• Have the brakes checked. The braking system is the vehicle’s most important safety item.
• Have the exhaust system checked for carbon monoxide leaks, which can be especially dangerous during cold weather driving when windows are closed.
• Check to see that exterior and interior lights work and headlights are properly aimed.
• Be diligent about changing the oil and filter at recommended intervals. Dirty oil can spell trouble in winter. Consider changing to “winter weight” oil if you live in a cold climate. Have your technician check the fuel, air and transmission filters at the same time.

Motorists should also keep the gas tank at least half full at all times to decrease the chances of moisture forming in the gas lines and possibly freezing. Drivers should check the tire pressure of the spare in the trunk and stock an emergency kit with an ice scraper and snowbrush, jumper cables, flashlight, flares, blanket, extra clothes, candles/matches, bottled water, dry food snacks and needed medication.

2017 Chevrolet Camaro: A New Era in Performance

 In 1966, Chevrolet introduced the world to Camaro and a love affair was born. Now, after 50 years of pushing the envelope, advanced performance technology, meticulous design and engineering mastery come together in the sixth-generation Camaro. With refinements that can be seen in every sculpted body line, felt in every turn, and heard in the roar of the four available powertrains, the sixth-generation Camaro is the lightest, leanest and meanest Camaro yet.

Camaro 50th Anniversary
How do you celebrate 50 years of a performance icon? We took to the streets. Check out some photos from our massive rally event, as well as epic Camaro moments of the past and present over at our 50th Anniversary experience.


Sculpted to Perfection
Built around a smaller, lighter architecture than the previous generation, the 2017 Camaro sports car takes full advantage of its tighter proportions with more responsive braking, better attack in and out of corners, and more nimble performance. The smaller, more athletic sixth-generation Camaro also features a fastback profile and more pronounced quarter panels, creating a road presence that’s hard to ignore.

Rising Gas Prices Don’t Have to Cost You

Winter is here and so are rising gas prices. Not to worry, says the Car Care Council. A few simple and inexpensive vehicle maintenance steps can stretch your dollar at the pump and go a long way toward protecting the environment.

“Many motorists don’t realize that fuel consumption is directly related to auto care and has a significant impact on how much gas you use,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Gas prices can climb quickly, but the good news is that you can fight back. By properly maintaining your vehicle, you can improve fuel economy while saving money.”

The non-profit Car Care Council encourages motorists to be car care aware and perform simple maintenance to improve fuel economy.

Tune-Up: Keep your car properly tuned to improve gas mileage by an average of 4 percent.
Tire Pressure: Keep tires properly inflated and improve gas mileage by up to 3.3 percent.
Motor Oil: Improve gas mileage by 1 to 2 percent by using the grade of motor oil recommended by the manufacturer.
Air Filters: Replacing clogged air filters on older vehicles can improve fuel economy and will improve performance and acceleration on all vehicles.
Gas Cap: Damaged, loose or missing gas caps allow gas to vaporize into the air.
Fix It: Addressing a serious maintenance problem, like a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve mileage by as much as 40 percent.

In addition to vehicle maintenance, modifying driving habits, such as observing the speed limit and avoiding quick stops and starts, can also increase fuel efficiency. Consolidating trips, avoiding excessive idling and removing unnecessary items from the trunk are also easy ways to lower fuel consumption.

Top 8 Smartphone Car Mounts of 2017!

 

GPS devices have long since been abandoned. People now exclusively use their smartphones for navigation. But to be safe and legal, you need to invest in a good car phone mount. Here are eight of the best phone holders to get you hands-free and on your way.

1. IOTTIE ITAP MAGNETIC VENT SMARTPHONE MOUNT

This magnetic mount works well with any phone. The powerful magnet keeps your phone secure with the help of a metal plate that you can attach with adhesive tape between your case and phone or to the case itself. The base attaches to a car vent with a one-click lock and release feature. It can rotate 360 degrees, so you can view the screen from every angle. Buy it on Amazon for $25.

2. PROCLIP

The ProClip is a fully customizable phone holder. For example, if you have Galaxy S7 Edge, you can choose a holder that factors in your specific phone case. You then choose how you would like it mounted in your car (suction, vent, cup-holder, etc.). Get a standard holder from ProClipUSA starting at $35.

3. MEDIABRIDGE SMARTPHONE CRADLE WITH CUP HOLDER MOUNT

The Mediabridge Smartphone Cradle mounts easily into your cup holder and holds phones from 2-3.5 inches in width. Cup holder mounts have the advantage of being secure, yet easily removable. They are ideal if you’re a frequent traveler. Buy on Amazon for $29.99.

New Year's Resolutions For Your Car!

 

Car people, you’ve been selfish with your New Year’s resolution-making and you know it. Every year it’s the same resolutions about joining the gym, traveling the world or starting that freshwater fish tank you’ve always dreamed about. Selfish resolutions, with little to no impact on the quality of your car’s life. It’s not too late to change.

Break the bad habit this year by making a resolution that’s not just good for you, but is also good for your car. We’ve assembled seven great examples of goals for 2017 that are achievable, rewarding and realistic.

KEEP YOUR CAR CLEAN

 

This doesn’t mean you’ve got to pay someone to perform a professional detailing job. Just keep your trusty ride clean inside and out. You can pick up basic cleaning supplies in any auto parts store at a reasonable price. All it takes after that is a little bit of time and elbow grease. Don’t carry the junk! It’s extra fuel to move it around. Save a buck or two.

DON’T TEXT/TALK AND DRIVE

If you’re already living this way, right on. If not, this is the resolution for you. The one possible exception worth noting is if you make the commitment to get a hands-free device and forgo standard texting entirely. If you really need that level of connectivity, it’s probably an improvement on whatever you’ve been doing.
