HOW TO AVOID AND PREVENT ROCK CHIPS (It’s that time of the year !) Rock chips and cracks on windshields are pretty common in our area as gravel is used to add traction to slippery roads. Most rock chips and small cracks can be repaired after, but it is still better to not obtain damage at all. Here are some tips on how to avoid rock chips in your windshield. Keeping a few simple tips in mind will help protect your windshield investment.... WHEELS If two tires can kick up a rock and make you need a repair, four tires will do it twice as often. If you find yourself following or beside a vehicle with four rear tires, try to change lanes. MUD FLAPS Vehicles with larger wheels usually have mud flaps. This is a requirement on semi and dump trucks for a very important reason. Large wheels not only throw more rocks but they also throw them further. However, not all vehicles that should have flaps do, and sometimes the flaps they have are ripped. Try to stay away from these, they will break your windshield! (Please note that not even mud flaps completely protect you). DISTANCE This one is simple, if you tailgate then more rocks will hit and chip your windshield. A larger space between you, and the vehicle in front of you, gives rocks more time to fall before you get there and is a great way to protect your glass. Not tailgating is a very good idea for other reasons as well. COMMON SENSE - AVOID ROCK CHIPS Just look around you and see if there is anything that could crack your windshield. *If you see a semi truck pulling off a gravel road then avoid it. *If the grater just put gravel down then slow down and put more space between you and the next vehicle. *And last but not least, if you do get a rock chip or crack, get it repaired sooner than later and save you the cost of a whole new windshield. Please remember, no amount of advice can ever completely stop you from getting damaged glass. These are just suggestions to reduce your probability of getting hit. This is great since less rock chips in your windshield also means less rocks hitting your paint. Thank you and drive safe!

Here are some of the important car maintenance tips that you could implement this spring. Salt removal: Salt is a highly corrosive material and it is one of the most important components for keeping roads drivable during the winter. With constant contact with salt and ice, rust will quickly settle in without proper care or maintenance. One of the best ways to ensure minimal damage from salt is to completely rinsing your vehicle or giving a good wash. With extra care and polis...hing to the extremities and the bumpers, car could come right out of the winter mode. Alignment and Suspension: Winter is the time not known for its smooth rides or pothole free roads. Traversing on snow and broken roads could take its toll on your vehicle. Among the first things to be affected in your vehicle include wheel alignment and suspension. First things to do in spring would include checking your wheel alignment and suspension and paying special importance to repairing or replacing any wear and tear that might have taken place. Clean interiors: Winters often have a strange way of getting into the interiors of your vehicle. The interiors of your vehicle could accumulate dampness and could develop mould. This could be further aggravated with many spring time issues. As we all know, spring is a time of allergies and infections and a damp car interior is a perfect breeding ground for allergies and sickness. Get your car's interiors thoroughly cleaned before spring and it would also make your ride all the more enjoyable. Brake Inspections: Brakes and brake devices would undergo a huge amount of stress along with wear and tear because of the constant exposure to the hard elements. The changing climate in many cases could damage your brake pads or even cause damage to the discs. Brake inspection, change of brake pads, and checking for brake fluids are very important before you start using your car in spring. Neglecting brake maintenance could cause expensive damages to the rotor and compromise the safety. Perfection under the hood: It is important to ensure that your vehicle has made it through the winter without developing any major damages. Give your vehicle a thorough check up under the hood. Check your turbo, all the different fluids including engine oil, coolants, and wiper fluids. It is advisable to change your engine oil and coolant especially after a harsh winter like we faced this year. It is always advisable to make these checks at professional mechanic but if you are comfortable with doing it yourself make sure you get it right. If the winter has taken a massive toll on your vehicle, it is good to sell it and go for a new car. When it comes to trading in your car and finding a new one that suits your needs, let me, Braiden Hink at Northland Hyundai, be your preferred choice.
