It is no secret that preventative car maintenance and proper vehicle care over the years will make it last longer. When you care for the parts and systems at routine intervals as recommended by the manufacturer and your trusted auto repair shop, you will have a vehicle that performs better and lasts longer, saving you time and money down the road. Wouldn’t you be proud to drive a vehicle over 100,000 or even 200,000 which stills runs new and looks great? Well, part of that process is our recommended cooling system flushes which are beneficial to your vehicle’s cooling system and engine. According to experts, failure to care for your cooling system is cited as a principal reason for mechanical failure of a vehicle and one of the leading causes for breakdowns on the highway.

An Estimated Eight Million Drivers Admit to More Extreme Behavior Says New AAA Foundation Research

WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 14, 2016)- Nearly 80 percent of drivers expressed significant anger, aggression or road rage behind the wheel at least once in the past year, according to a new study released today by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. The most alarming findings suggest that approximately eight million U.S. drivers engaged in extreme examples of road rage, including purposefully ramming another vehicle or getting out of the car to confront another driver.

“Inconsiderate driving, bad traffic and the daily stresses of life can transform minor frustrations into dangerous road rage,” said Jurek Grabowski, Director of Research for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. “Far too many drivers are losing themselves in the heat of the moment and lashing out in ways that could turn deadly.”
