BACK TO SCHOOL WARNING !!!!!!

8/12/2010

A number of years ago I got 2 speeding tickets in 2 days!!!! I know, I know, I know but moving right along, I had to go to drivers school!!! I wasn't the only old lady there :) but I was the most outspoken, and if you know me you know that is the truth, anyway I digress.  I always thought that rain or snow conditions on the road were when most accidents occured but he said that most road accidents occur when the sun is shinning bright!!!
I did however learn a few important facts, with the most important  one being MOST ACCIDENTS HAPPEN FROM 7-9 AM AND FROM 3-7 PM!!!  Well being my usual self, I asked why ?? The officer teaching the class said it is because that is when school is in session !! Parent and teenagers are always in a hurry durning those hours and that causes them to become careless!!!
ALL of that to say this, PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME  AND BE EXTRA CAREFUL IN THE AM AND PM HOURS listed above but if you need us, please feel free to call !

VEHICLE IN HOT HOT HOT HOT WEATHER ..CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE!!

I recently complained to MACK  that the air conditioner in my car had to be broken!!!! He laughed at me....LAUGHED at me and said " Sweetheart it's 100 degrees outside...nothing is wrong!!!  WELLLLL I declared that it was and he insisted that it was ok and guess who won ???? MACK!!!
He pulled my car into the shade and let the entire dashboard area cool down and then checked the temp of the outgoing air and YES he was right...It's just so hot now that even the air in all of the lines are  HOT HOT HOT!!! Soooo, all of that to say...do not despair when the temps drop a degree or two your AC will be right back where it needs to be and you will be COOL AGAIN!!!!

Keep a check on all of your fluids. Tires might also need a little extra TLC...If you have a bad one or even one close to being "slick"  please be careful because it seems they will BLOW OUT on a day when the air feels like its 111 degrees like it does today !!
**** A SPECIAL NOTE.. IF you have a son or a daughter who will be using a vehicle to go back and forth either to high school or to college, PLEASE take the time to not only safety check the vehicle but also to  TEACH them how to care for the vehicle. ( When a teenager comes in the shop and they have had a fender bender, I always ask them to sit close to me when I am doing their estimate so I can show them the repair process and the COST!!! I hope that someone would do the same for me...and we are never too old  to learn a lesson )
Enough about the weather...TAKE CARE and if you have any problems or even a question, Please feel free to call me @ 256-773-4999
