Gas Prices

Have you ever noticed that Gas Prices can be drastically different within just a few blocks?  Drives me nuts.  I am lucky though because the stations by our home our some of the lowest ones around.  I know that some people drive out of their way to pay a few cents less.  My grandmother used to drive to another state to get fuel…did it really save her money?  I don’t think so, once you factored in the mileage and time.  I recommend finding a station that is reasonable and is close to your home, or within your commute, and use that one.  Driving out of your way, will not save you money, and it certainly won’t save you time!

National Walking Day

Today is National Walking Day.  I don’t know about you but I love going out for a stroll…in the park, with flowers, and fun things to look at.  I really don’t like walking on a busy road, in the rain, when I am supposed to be someplace else.  And it never fails…that is when your vehicle breaks down..right?  So, how can we stop this from happening?  By making sure that all of your recommended maintenance items are taken care of in a timely fashion.  At Long’s we keep track of all of those things for you and let you know far in advance what is going to be need when.  This way you can plan your time and you finances, and not have any surprises.  So don’t let this be you!  Take care of your car and it won’t let you down.

Spring Cleaning

Are you in the mood for some spring cleaning?  It’s easy to forget about your cabin air filter, because we don’t see it.  When the sun is out, we notice a dirty car and dirty windows…but not our cabin air filter.  Below is what a dirty and clean filter looks like.  If you haven’t checked it lately, it is probably a good idea to do so soon.  If yours looks like the one on the right, you and your loved ones are breathing in things like, dirt, bugs and mold.  If you don’t know how to check your filter, just drop by and we will show you where it is located and we can check it for you.  If it’s dirty we can get a replacement here lickity split and have you back on the road breathing nice fresh air.
