For 2015, Dodge Charger is totally updated, features a standard across the lineup new state-of-the-art eightspeed automatic transmission and several new models, including the all-new Charger SRT Hellcat, SRT 392 and R/T Scat Pack models.

Several new iterations of the Dodge Charger are available for 2015.
DESIGN
Full-speed Forward Collision Warning-Plus keeps you safe.
The exterior is inspired by the second-generation Charger from the late 1960s, and specifically draws on the historic 1969 model’s unmistakable Coke-bottle design and scalloped body sides. The Charger SRT Hellcat has a larger, power-bulge aluminum hood, which features a dedicated cold-air intake and dual air extractors to ensure effective removal of heat and reduced air turbulence in the engine compartment.
POWER
Once standard only on Dodge Charger SXT models, the new 2015 Charger SE drops its former five-speed for the state-of-the-art TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission. Both models are powered by the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, which delivers 292 horsepower at 6,350 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,800 rpm and a best-in-class 31 miles per gallon on the highway.

who want V-6 fuel economy with even more power, the Dodge Charger SXT model offers the Rallye Group – providing up to 300 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft. of torque thanks to a cold-air induction system, sport-tuned exhaust and engine calibration. The 2015 Dodge Charger R/T features the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with 370 horsepower and 395 lb.-ft. of torque and boasts 0-60 mile per hour performance in the high-5second range. The 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Road &
Track model features a unique 3.07 rear axle ratio (versus the standard 2.62 rear axle ratio) and a high-speed engine controller, paddle shifters, and Sport Mode II. With a naturally aspirated 485 horsepower and 475 lb.ft. of torque 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack delivers 115 more horsepower and a 90-lb.-ft. leap in torque compared with the 5.7-liter Charger R/T models.
TECHNOLOGY
New available features include Full-speed Forward Collision Warning-Plus, which provides autonomous braking and, under certain circumstances, slows stops the car when frontal collision appears imminent.
The Charger is truly the ‘Perfect Sports Sedan’ . Its agile handling, sporty feel and acceleration as well as a full size car that gets over 31 MPG will surely give Mom and Dad a sense of escape from the daily grind of life without breaking the bank. Ted Teague - General Manager

Caring for Leather Seats

Waco Tribune-Herald
ull spots. Cracked seams. Worn look. This isn’t the condition you anticipated for your car’s leather seats, even after years of wear and tear. Leather is generally beat up by abrasive dirt buildup, as well as its natural loss of essential oils and UV protection over time. This can especially be the case in warmer temperatures. So how can you make sure your leather doesn’t lose its luster? The most tried and true methods of care involve simple, regular maintenance aimed at cleansing and moisturizing the leather.
REGULAR WIPE DOWNS
One of the best ways to retain your leather’s natural beauty and shine is by regularly wiping it down with your favorite cleaner. Leather must be carefully cleaned before it can be thoroughly conditioned. As leather ages, it loses essential protectants that are ingrained during the manufacturing process. You can add this back with a vinyl cleaner applied with a microfiber applicator pad. The pad works to agitate the leather’s pores, allowing dirt and body oils to rise to the surface, where it can be wiped off.
Your car’s manufacturer likely recommends a specific product that has been tested and determined most effective, so check the owner’s manual for best options.
COMMON SENSE CARE
Remember to keep sharp objects away from your leather seats. One scrape from a pocketknife or poke from a pen can easily damage the soft texture of leather. A torn leather seat will need care from a professional, and depending on the size of the tear, could be an expensive fix. Another common sense practice is to test leather cleaner on a small portion of the seat. Let the test spot sit for 24 hours and then check it for cracking, wear or discoloration. Once you have found a cleaner that will work for your leather, it is time to consider a moisturizer and protectant. The combination of the two will keep your leather seats soft and shiny for years to come.

Spring vacation on a budget? Here’s how you do it (BPT) - Spring is coming and after all the frost, wind and chill of the winter, you’ve earned some time to relax. So why not treat yourself to a little vacation? If you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend and you’re worried about your finances holding you back, there are ways to take an enjoyable spring vacation without blowing your budget. The five tips below can help you make the most of your spring vacation without breaking the bank. * Make sure your car is ready to go. Road trips make for a more affordable spring break than air travel, and the cities you visit along the way are half the fun. Make sure your car is ready for the trip by changing the oil, checking the tire pressure and making sure the windshield washer and power steering
AUTOMOTIVE
fluids are filled appropriately. You can handle these tasks yourself or take your vehicle to your local mechanic for a tune-up. * Travel with a plan. Unfortunately, your vacation will last only so long, so make the most of the time you have. Travel sites like Dream Plan Go and Trip Advisor offer great resources to help you pick a spring-break destination and learn about the unique features of a given place that go unnoticed by most visitors. You can also control expenses by avoiding locations that will be too costly when you arrive. * Make communication easy. Looking for an affordable way to stay in touch during your trip?

* Expand your hotel horizons. Want to hit a popular destination but can’t afford the lodgings? Expand your radius a little. Inexpensive hotel rooms can be found more easily in the cities that border major tourist destinations. If you have your car with you, the room savings will make up for the extra gas you’ll need. Spring-vacation season is here and you’ve earned a break, so why not take one? By applying the tips above, you’ll be able to enjoy the relaxing vacation you deserve and ensure your budget survives until you return to work once again.

Look for the ASE Blue Seal
M
any of the aforementioned preventive maintenance activities can be done from the comfort of your own garage.
But maybe you don’t feel comfortable sliding under your vehicle to change the oil. Or maybe your car needs a repair that you just don’t have the expertise to execute. Hopefully you have a trustworthy mechanic who you have been using for years. But if you don’t, you should look for certain things when trying to select a shop for your car. Doing a little research beforehand can give you peace of mind that your car is being serviced correctly, while also saving you money and time in the process.
WHY SO IMPORTANT?
If you ever want to skip that air filter change or scheduled tire rotation, then you could use some guidance from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). The organization says vehicle owners will benefit from longer car life, increased gasoline mileage and better resale value if they stick to a preventive maintenance plan. That means checking your vehicle’s owner’s manual to put together a plan. Build a spreadsheet to help you remember when, where and why you had your car serviced. Also track the mileage so you can stay on schedule for time-sensitive services such as oil changes and wiper-blade installations.
CHOOSING A SHOP
The ASE recommends a comprehensive approach to choosing a reputable, quality shop. No longer bound to randomly choosing a name out of a

phone book, you can conduct an online search for customer reviews and company websites to help you make your decision. Among ASE’s tips: • Ask your friends, family members or co-workers for their recommendations. • Look for facilities with clean, updated exteriors and parking lots. • Check the shop’s policies on estimated repair costs, diagnostic fees and service guarantees.
• Gauge the company’s front-desk service quality and professionalism of the staff as a whole.
ASE REPUTATION
So why should you listen to the ASE when it comes to tips and tricks for quality car service? The institute was founded in 1972 as a nonprofit organization focused on improving the quality of automotive service and repair. The group
conducts voluntary testing and certification of automotive technicians seeking more credibility in their industry. When you see the ASE sign or the blue and white shoulder insignia, you know that your mechanic has undergone some type of certification process. Ask which areas they are certified in and if their facility is a member of the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence Recognition Program.
