Three Driving Tips to Help Save You Money

We all would like to find a little extra cash in our wallets every now and then. But did you know that the way you drive can actually help save you money?

The driving experience can be hacked to benefit your bank account, and by doing these three tips, it will also save you money. Here are three tips to optimize your gas mileage and help you spend less money at the pump.

• No more junk in your trunk: Weighing down your car trunk with a set of golf clubs or an emergency water supply will take a toll on your fuel efficiency. Every extra 100 pounds is estimated to cut a vehicle's mileage by 2%.
• You gotta keep 'em well inflated: Keeping your tires properly inflated can improve your gas mileage by 3% or more. So remember to schedule regular maintenance.
• Buy premium and pay the price: Save money on gas by purchasing the grade that is recommended for your car — you won't benefit by spending more. You don't need premium gas to get better gas mileage.

Three Spring Car Washing Tips

As many of us tackle our spring cleaning to-do list, we are here to remind you to not forget about your car. If you want to get your car back to showroom shape, here are three car washing tips.

• Be sure to wash off dead bugs, bird droppings, and tree-sap mist as soon as possible.
• Use a dedicated car-wash product, which is specifically designed for automotive paint, then apply the suds with a large, soft natural sponge or a lamb's-wool mitt.
• After washing, use a chamois (natural or synthetic) or soft terry towels. It's best to blot the water up instead of dragging the towel or chamois over the paint.

If your car needs some repairs along with a wash, schedule a service appointment with our dealership through our website!
