Your key to a long-lasting car (NAPS)—Basic car care is the key to a long-lasting vehicle, and to improving its safety and dependability. What To Do Ten basic maintenance procedures can help keep your car operating at its best for the long haul: 1. Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering, brake and transmission as well as windshield washer solvent, antifreeze and coolant. 2. Check the hoses and belts to make sure they’re not cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or showing signs of excessive wear. 3. Check the battery and replace if necessary. Make sure the connection is clean, tight and corrosion-free. 4. Check the brake system annually and have the brake linings, rotors and drums inspected at each oil change. 5. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks, damage and broken supports or hangers if there’s an unusual noise. Exhaust leaks can be dangerous and must be corrected without delay. 6. Schedule a tune-up to help the engine deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy and produce the lowest level of emissions. 7. Check the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system as proper heating and cooling performance is critical for interior comfort and for safety reasons such as defrosting.
8. Inspect the steering and suspension system annually including shock absorbers, struts and chassis parts such as ball joints, tie-rod ends and other related components. 9. Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Uneven wear may indicate the need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots. 10. Check the wipers and lighting so you can see and be seen. Check that all interior and exterior lighting is working properly and replace worn wiper blades so you can see clearly when driving during precipitation. “Neglected vehicle care almost always means much higher costs down the line in the form of more extensive repairs or lost resale value,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Following a routine maintenance program makes financial sense, extending useful vehicle life and helping avoid costly repairs down the road.” The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.

Keeping your garage organized (NAPS)—In the flurry of today’s active family lifestyles, it is clear that the garage is no longer just the domain of the family car. For many households, this versatile space is used by every member of the family. It has become the logical place to store tools and gear for sports, hobbies, yard work and playtime, along with out-of-season items that would otherwise take up room inside the home. H o w e v e r, with so much to hold and family members coming and going all the time, the challenge is to keep this space neat and well organized. To help, here are some garage design tips from EasyClosets—an online provider of do-it-yourself custom storage and organization systems for all areas of the home. • Establish the transition area —the space that’s reserved for hanging coats, storing shoes and boots, and setting down packages, groceries or mail when you’re opening the door. • Next, determine a need-it-now area for quick and easy access to things like dog food and leashes, water bottles and other beverages, or recycling bins. • Decide which area is best for long, thin yard and maintenance tools like shovels, rakes and clippers. • Identify elevation zones, creating a storage area for large items that may be stored out of the way for months at a time, such as coolers, camping gear and holiday decorations. Reserve easy-to-reach areas for the kids to keep their sports equipment. • Plan an area for frequently used items such as active gear, outdoor games and cleaning supplies. • Stake out a workspace for hobbies and interests. From gardening to fishing, woodworking or automotive work, designate a space for organizing tools and supplies needed to work on these projects.
A Multipurpose Space To help homeowners complete the conversion of their garage to a truly multipurpose family space, EasyClosets created organization solutions that keep the garage in order, improve its appearance, and make it easy for family members to find or put away the things they need.
“Transforming the garage into a hardworking, multipurpose space can actually empower a family’s active lifestyle,” said EasyClosets organization expert Denise Scopas. Homeowners can choose from cabinets, shelves, drawers, work surfaces and clever accessories. EasyClosets garage cabinets are available in several depth and height options, and can even be customized to meet a variety of width requirements. To maximize space, the company also offers slatwall panels to hold hooks, racks and baskets. The cabinets come in seven ontrend colors and with stylish hardware that coordinates with today’s homes. Designed and engineered especially for the garage environment, the solutions feature heavy-duty cabinets with integrated full back panels, one-inch-thick sturdy shelves, and doors with wide-opening Euro-style hinges. Legs can also be added for additional support or style. Intuitive Design Feature The company offers an intuitive online design tool to make space planning quick and easy for homeowners. Complimentary design service is also available, allowing customers to have an expert review their plan or create it for them. The solutions are made specifically for do-it-yourself installation. Components are cut to order and shipped with a complete set of hardware and detailed instructions to make home assembly successful—even for those without remodeling experience.

The facts on wiper blades (NewsUSA) - Is there really a difference between wiper blades? When is it necessary to change my wipers? As the wet seasons approach, it's important to ask yourself these questions as heavy rains and increasingly severe weather can obscure driving visibility. In fact, the American Optometric Association reports that 90 percent of all driving decisions are based on visibility. Having a properly installed set of wiper blades will enhance your vision during difficult driving conditions. Most drivers don't even realize they need new wipers until that moment of truth, as a storm approaches or heavy snow begins to fall. To avoid this, check your wipers once a month for worn or split rubber that can cause streaking or chattering. TRICO, an authority in the wiper blades industry, encourages consumers to "change your clocks, change your blades" and make replacing wipers part of your typical fall and spring routine maintenance during daylight saving time. Finding the right-sized blades can seem difficult. The "Find Your Wiper" feature on wiperblades.com offers a quick solution by letting drivers select their vehicle's make, model and year to display a full selection of wiper blade options. You may find that several different wiper blades fit your car, and then ask yourself, "Does it really matter which one I
use?" The difference between a conventional style and the newer, premium beam design is important to keep in mind. A conventional blade design features a steel superstructure with blade claws, a rubber wiping element and several connection points. The beam blade design is the latest advancement in wiper technology that offers even pressure and enhanced clarity in all conditions. Although the beam blade is considered an all-season wiper, you may want to consider a winter weather blade that is equipped with superior armors and synthetic blended materials. TRICO invented the winter blade in 1953 and has recently perfected it with TRICO Ice. This wiper blade is a great option for providing maximum performance in the most unrelentingly harsh conditions. Of course, one of the most frustrating parts of buying wiper blades is installation. Thankfully, wiperblades.com has helpful installation videos to help you avoid the struggle and make the process as quick and easy as it should be. No matter where you live, unpredictable and harsh weather will affect driving visibility, so be ready with a reliable, quality set of wiper blades when the time comes. Get more tips on how to keep yourself and other drivers safe at wiperblades.com.

Taking care of your car battery (NAPS)—For many motorists, the battery is a case of under hood, out of mind until they’re stranded by a dead battery, which can be inconvenient and even dangerous—but this doesn’t have to happen to you. Look for such signs that the battery is failing as the headlamps look dim at idle and brighten when you rev the engine or the starter groans and turns slowly, barely starting the car. Preserving the Battery While no battery lives forever, these tips can help keep yours cranking:
• Keep it clean. Even on today’s sealed batteries, corrosion on the posts and terminals can compromise performance. Your service technician can clean it or you can. With the car off, loosen and remove the negative cable, then the red positive cable. Use a brass-wire battery brush dipped in a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse thoroughly with water, preferably distilled. Reinstall the cables, positive first, and coat the terminals and clamps with a thin grease to prevent new corrosion. • Don’t run it down. Ensure that all lights and other electronics are turned off when the car isn’t being driven. If you do drain the battery and decide to jump-start your car, carefully follow the instructions in your owner’s manual to avoid damaging your car as well as the running vehicle. Wear goggles and remove your scarf, tie and jewelry. Today’s average car has 20 or more onboard computers. Connecting a positive cable to a negative terminal—or vice versa—can cause an expensive electrical short that could destroy one or more of the computers. • Have your battery checked. Your service technician can perform a load test, which provides a snapshot of how much life is left in the battery. He or she may also check to ensure that your alternator is charging the battery properly. • Remove the battery if a vehicle is going to sit idle for more than 30 days.
Replacing the Battery If your battery needs replacing, consider this: ACDelco batteries provide some of the best and easiest-to-understand free replacement warranties in the industry. There are choices for all models, budgets and priorities.
In addition, the company’s alternators are 100 percent performance and reliability tested. Customers who have these things installed by a member of the ACDelco Professional Service Center program qualify for a nationwide, 12-month, 12,000-mile limited warranty on parts and labor and roadside assistance.

Be car seat smart with kids (NAPS)—Road trips with children can be daunting, but with AAA’s expert advice, your next family car trip can be both safe and fun: • Involve your children early on when planning a road trip. Let them help decide places to stop. • Give kids a map so they can see where you are and how far it is to your destination. • Remember, loose items in the car can be dangerous in a crash or just a sudden stop. Keep loose items in the trunk, a console or under a cargo net. • Be sure children are secure in the proper car seats. Each year, more than 1,000 kids die and 170,000 are injured in car crashes—but giving them the proper protection will help keep them safe. Following these best practice recommendations will ensure your children are as safe as possible on the road: First, remember that the backseat is the safest place for all kids under 13. Toddlers should be kept in rear-facing seats for as long as possible, until reaching the height or weight limits of the car seat, typically around age 2. Children who have outgrown the harnesses on their forward-facing car seats can use a booster seat to help position them so the lap/shoulder belt fits properly across their hips and upper thighs and across their chest and collarbone. The American Academy of Pediatrics says children should remain in a booster seat until they have reached 4’9” in height, which is typically between ages 8 and 12. A child is ready to move from a booster seat to a lap/shoulder belt if the following criteria are met: • The child can sit all the way back against the vehicle seat;
• The child’s knees can bend comfortably at the edge of the vehicle seat; • The lap/shoulder belt crosses the child’s shoulder between the neck and arm and the lap belt remains low across the thighs and hips; • And, the child can remain in this position for the duration of the ride. Before heading out on your trip, be sure that your child’s car seat is installed properly. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, three out of four car seats are incorrectly installed. It’s important to read the owner’s manual for both the vehicle and the car seat before attempting the installation. Fortunately, Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians are available to advise you. You can find them through an AAA office, by calling (866) SEAT-CHECK or by visiting www.seatcheck.org. Another way to protect children all over the country, the experts at AAA say, is to strengthen child passenger safety laws. Learn more at www.SafeSeats4Kids.AAA.com.

See if you are “tire smart” (NAPS)—A recent national survey found that only one in six U.S. drivers is “tire smart” when it comes to checking tire pressure—a quick and simple step that can optimize vehicle safety and fuel economy and helps tires last longer. Gender & Generation Gap Significant differences exist between men and women and also among younger and older drivers.
Men are more likely than women to be “tire smart,” according to the survey. About 20 percent of men and 14 percent of women are considered “tire smart.” That means fewer women know to check tire pressure monthly and to check tires when they are cold (before driving). Women know better than men where to find the correct tire pressure for their vehicle: on the driver’s doorjamb or door and in the owner’s manual. A more stark difference exists between generations. Twenty-seven percent of drivers aged 60 and older are “tire smart” while only 8 percent of drivers 18 to 39 know the basic tips for properly checking tire pressure. The survey was conducted for the Rubber Manufacturers Association, which represents
m e l a S
tire manufacturers in the U.S. Safety Risk Underinflated tires pose a safety risk, waste fuel and cause premature tire wear. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that properly inflated tires can save about 11 cents a gallon at today’s gas prices. Motorists can Be Tire Smart and Play Your PART. Pressure: Check tire pressure monthly with a tire gauge and inflate to vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
Alignment: Misalignment of wheels can cause uneven and rapid tread wear. Rotation: Rotate tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles to help you achieve more uniform wear. Tread: Advanced and unusual wear can reduce the ability of tread to grip the road in adverse conditions. Learn More For further information, visit www.betiresmart.org or call (202) 682-4800.

Don’t like pressure? Your tires do. (NAPS)—Investing a little time and effort to make sure your tires are road worthy can pay dividends when it comes to safety. Experts say the first step is to make sure your tires are properly inflated. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, underinflated tires contribute to more than 600 fatalities and 33,000 injuries each year. Simply checking your tire pressure can help you stay safe during your next trip. To get the most from your tires this summer, here are some maintenance tips from the world’s largest tire and wheel retailer—Discount Tire: • Get Pressure Right—Low tire pressure can decrease fuel economy. Tires may lose up to one pound per square inch per month. The specific inflation pressure number can be found on the vehicle placard located on the driver’s side doorpost, glove box door, fuel door or in the owner’s manual. Custom tires and wheels may change standard air pressure requirements, so if you customize, have a pro check them out before you go.
decrease traction and increase the risk of road accidents. • Don’t Overload Vehicle— Overloading decreases fuel economy due to increased wind drag and cargo weight. Handling, control and braking are also negatively impacted. • Rotate Before You Go—Regular rotation helps achieve uniform tire wear and improves road performance. Tires rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles have longer life and help to maximize your tire investment. • Straighten Up—Proper wheel alignment provides safe, predictable vehicle control and helps tires wear evenly and last longer. • Bald Isn’t Beautiful—Lack of tread affects the tire’s ability to grip the road. Make sure tires don’t have uneven wear, high or low spots or unusually smooth areas that can

A Five-Minute Fix Checking tire pressure and tread is easy and can pay dividends when it comes to fuel economy and handling. Don’t go by appearances. Use a tire gauge to check since a tire can be 50 percent underinflated but still not appear flat.
Make it a habit to check tire pressure every month and always before a long trip. Use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure. Additionally, check tire tread depth by using the “penny test.” Insert Abe Lincoln’s head upside down into the tread. If you see his entire head, it’s time to replace the tire.

Go farther with your driving dollars (NAPS)—From daily commuting to summer road trips, the amount of time we spend driving adds up quickly…and so can travel costs. However, a few good driving habits can help put the brakes on unnecessary spending and get you on the road to savings: • Watch your speed. A faster trip may be less fuel efficient. When traveling at speeds above 50 mph, gas mileage tends to decrease rapidly. • Lose weight in your car. Every extra 100 pounds can reduce fuel efficiency by up to 2 percent, so keep your trunk clear of unnecessary items. • Find gas pumps that pay you back. Some stations, like participating BP stations, allow you to save on future fill-ups. With the BP Driver Rewards program, for every 20 gallons of BP fuel you purchase, with a minimum of two transactions, you can earn a 5-cents-off-per-gallon reward. It’s free to join. Rewards accumulate automatically and may be redeemed as soon as one hour from being earned—without the wait for monthly statements or additional purchases at other retailers, as many loyalty programs require. Program rewards may be redeemed toward a single fill-up (up to 20 gallons), for a period of 90 days following the month in which they were earned, and may not be able to be combined with other offers. To save even more, you can use a BP Visa credit card to pay for your fuel purchases along with the BP Driver Rewards card. Visit www.bpdriverrewards.com for terms and conditions and participating locations. • Avoid idling. When parked, shut off your engine to save fuel. An idling engine can consume up to a half gallon of fuel per hour. • Inflate for a smoother ride. Keep your tires at the proper pressure to get up to 3.3 percent better gas mileage. • Choose quality gasoline. Fill up with a quality fuel like BP gasoline with Invigorate®, which can help your car get a few more miles per tank when compared to low-detergent gasoline. When used continuously, it helps clean and protect critical engine parts from harmful deposits, so you’ll go a little farther between fill-ups. Results will vary depending on a variety of factors and in tests were more significant in older model vehicles.

• Rack up a more efficient ride. Use a removable roof or bicycle rack and install it only when needed. By avoiding the extra bulk, you’ll minimize aerodynamic drag—the air and wind resistance your vehicle must overcome to accelerate and maintain a constant speed. • Cruise cautiously.

The talk just became easier (NewsUSA) - When you hand car keys to your teenager for the first time, your heart races as you think of what could happen. The fact is that car accidents are the numberone cause of death among teens in the U.S., so it's important to communicate the gravity of this newfound responsibility. That's why Trico Products (www.tricoproducts.com) has made a commitment to make teen driving safer and encourage parents to have a serious, sit-down conversation with their children before allowing them to get behind the wheel. To help make that conversation a little easier, Trico offers these helpful talking points: * Seatbelt -- Teens buckle up far less frequently than adults, so be sure to reiterate that fastening your seatbelt should be the very first thing you do before keys are even in the ignition. * Texting -- Cell phones, the radio and other passengers are all major distractions. Every second a teen takes their eyes of the road could be an opportunity for a terrible accident. Cite examples of recent car accidents from texting while driving to further establish this danger. * Drinking and driving -- It's important to stress that no one under the age of 21 should be drinking. But, let them know to make the right decision and have a designated driver or call for a ride home.

* Defensive driving -- Teens need to be hyper-sensitive to all surroundings, since their brain is not fully developed. They must not only be aware of how they're driving but how others drive too so collisions are avoided. * Penalties -- Talk about the fines associated with tickets, and let them know they will be responsible for any monetary repercussions and attending traffic court. * Roadside emergencies and maintenance -- Go over what to do and whom to call in an emergency. Make certain they have roadside assistance and insurance information readily available. Also, teach them about basic maintenance to ensure they schedule regular oil changes, tire rotations and inspections and always check that they've changed the wiper blades. Having that first conversation is only the start, so go over these points with them regularly to make sure they make good decisions. Visit tricoproducts.com for additional help on driver safety and regular car maintenance.

Money-saving tips for car owners (NAPS)—There’s good news for car owners. Extending the life of their vehicle and avoiding expensive repairs may be easier than they realize. The key is to be faithful when it comes to basic maintenance. To help, here are some money-saving tips that will help to keep you on the road to savings and limit the time your car spends in the shop. • Keep it clean—Keeping your car clean is not just about appearances. A dirty car can affect the value and life of your car, as well as your health. Normal dirt buildup and seasonal issues—such as road salt in the winter—can result in corrosion on body panels, including doors, fenders, the hood and tailgate. Excessive rust can lessen the resale value and integrity of the car. It’s also important to keep the interior of your car clean. Dirty seats, carpets and mats that are not cleaned on a regular basis can allow mold to grow and spread, leading to a variety of potential health issues. • Check the oil—The motor oil in your car is the lifeblood of the engine because it’s responsible for lubricating the moving parts that keep the car running. That’s why it’s important to check your oil and have it changed at regular intervals. Consider upgrading to one of today’s premium synthetic motor oils, such as Royal Purple, which can improve your car’s fuel economy and engine life. Plus, using high-performance synthetic motor oil, as opposed to conventional oils, allows for more miles between oil changes, and reduces the amount of oil disposed of in the environment. • Use a quality gasoline—Being a regular customer at a gas station you can trust can be important. Don’t be afraid to ask if the gas is filtered at the pump and, if so, how often the filters are changed. Some gas stations don’t have pump filters,

A mechanic that will come to you (NewsUSA) - When it comes to managing vehicle repairs, the associated hassles and inconveniences that come about — whether from having no vehicle or the process of finding a reputable repair shop — can become a major annoyance. However, according to a new start-up business from San
Francisco called YourMechanic, a new system is “changing the nature of auto repair.” YourMechanic is a car repair marketplace that connects people to certified, trustworthy, local mechanics. The best part: there’s no need to spend your entire lunch break finding an opening at the repair shop, since the mechanics will come to you. This new way of fixing your car is getting great reviews and earning awards. YourMechanic recently won TechCrunch Disrupt, the annual start-up competition pitting the best new ideas in Silicon Valley. TechCrunch, a leader in reviewing the latest tech developments and profiling worthy start-ups, compared YourMechanic to Uber — the company that effectively helped turn every cab driver into a potential entrepreneur. Using Uber, commuters can call a taxi with a smartphone app instead of waiting to hail the next one. As TechCrunch pointed out, YourMechanic has key similarities: mechanics will come to you, and the process is simple. Anyone can go online to YourMechanic.com, explain their problem, provide details about their vehicle and get instant quotes. All mechanics are required to honor the quotes provided, so you just pick your mechanic and go. Once you select your preferred mechanic — based on work history, certifications, ratings and customer reviews — they will arrive at your specified location fully prepared to fix your car. Whether day or night, weekday or weekend, mechanics will make repairs as long as they have a parking lot or driveway to work in. Ultimately, the business model is designed to lower costs for consumers and mechanics. The mechanics doing the work pocket money that would have gone to the presiding repair shop. As a result, their rates are a little more reasonable. Learn more about the newest way to find a mechanic at www.YourMechanic.com.

Save gas without driving less (NAPS)—Just because gas prices go up, that doesn’t mean your driving has to go down. You can’t control the price of gas but you can control how much you use with some simple and inexpensive vehicle maintenance. Save Gas And Cash Consider these simple steps to save gas without driving less: • Keep your car properly tuned to improve gas mileage by an average of 4 percent.
• Keep tires properly inflated and improve gas mileage by 3 percent. • Replace dirty or clogged air filters on older vehicles to improve gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. • Change oil regularly and gain another mile per gallon. • Check the gas cap. Damaged, loose or missing gas caps let the gas just vaporize into the air. • Observe the speed limit. Gas mileage decreases rapidly above 60 mph. • Avoid excessive idling. Idling gets zero miles per gallon. Warming up the vehicle for one or two minutes is sufficient. • Avoid quick starts and stops. Aggressive driving can lower gas mileage by 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent in the city. • Consolidate trips. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much gas as one longer multipurpose trip. • Don’t haul unneeded items in the trunk. An extra 100 pounds in the trunk reduces fuel economy by up to 2 percent. “Some motorists think they are saving money when they

put off needed vehicle maintenance,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “What they don’t realize is that neglecting routine maintenance can end up costing a lot more. Keeping your car running efficiently and modifying your driving behavior is the best way to improve your vehicle’s fuel economy and keep more money in your pocket. Fuel consumption is directly related to vehicle care and driver behavior and both can have a significant impact on how much motorists pay at the pump.” The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.
