Because of the freezing temperatures that will hit most parts of the country in the next few months, you may find that your vehicle is a little noisier and more sluggish than usual. It is probably time for an oil change! Some drivers think that because they aren’t having any car problems they don’t need to pay the price for high-quality oil changes. The damage caused by using inferior oil may not be noticed until later down the road.
Inferior motor oils can deposit harmful contaminants into the engine’s lubricating system. Even before there are any visible symptoms of problems, damage may have already occurred, and the engine’s performance level may not be brought back to normal. For maximum engine protection, it’s worth the extra cost for a high quality, warranty-backed oil change.

READ MOREAre you noticing some steering problems as you head down the road, such as drifting to the side, or the steering wheel isn’t straight when the wheels are straight? It’s probably time for a wheel alignment service.
Proper wheel alignment involves setting the camber (inward or outward tilt of the wheels when looking head-on), caster (wheel tilt front or back looking from the side) and toe-in or toe-out (looking down at the wheels from above). These adjustments are measured in fractions of an inch and require specialized alignment equipment.
So how often should a car alignment be done? Simply stated, whenever you start to notice steering problems or premature tire wear. It is possible to skew the alignment without realizing it, such as hitting curbs, going too fast over speed bumps, hitting potholes too fast, or having an accident, no matter how minor.
