I recommend to replace your wipers at least once a year, much of that depends on the type of wipers that are on your vehicle and how much time it spends in the sun.  The sun attacks the material they are made out of and it causing them to streak and chatter as they wipe the window. If your car is indoors much of the time then you won't have to replace them as often.  Happy Adventures Heather

Corrosion on top of your battery could be caused from a bad connection, but most of the time the battery itself is leaking through the seal around the post. If you have it cleaned and the corrosion comes back then it's time to replace your battery.  We can do a battery check for you, battery acid needs to be handled carefully and fumes can lead to an explosion.

Tires wear more in the center when they are over inflated. Proper air pressure is important to your tire health and longevity. It also affects your fuel mileage and vehicle handling.  If you are concerned about your tire pressure stop by and we will check them for you. Happy Adventures Heather 

A couple weeks ago Jason and I were fortunate enough to get to go with our oldest son to a water polo tournament in Modesto California. We made it a family trip and it was an awesome experience.
