To most of us who get stuck on the side of the road, pulled over by a police officer, or towed by a tow truck man, this is a scary situation. So many things could go wrong, and it can quickly turn into a messy predicament on our Spokane, WA highways. However, it can be even scarier for the police officers and tow truck men who put their lives at stake with every stop to assist.

Traffic must continue moving, but that does not mean that we cannot play our part to keep other motorists and our first responders safe…

With winter finally making its comeback here in Spokane, WA, many drivers are already thinking of the amount of road salt they will have to buy in advance due to ice. It’s important to recognize that you are not limited to just road salt for escaping a slippery road situation this winter. Our team can help!

While salt so far is the most useful substance for dealing with ice, it's also very damaging to the environment as well as extremely corrosive and damaging to vehicles if it spills within them or collects in their undercarriage. 

Winter wiper blades are an investment that you will want to make. They will actually save you money, too. If you have to replace your wiper blades every time you reach the end of winter that can get pretty expensive since a new set of wipers is not cheap. All you need to do is get winter wiper blades and simply switch them out once winter sets in.

You do not have to break the bank to afford your first ride. Neither do you have to spend your lifetime’s savings to purchase your dream car. Unlike what most people believe, used cars are a viable option when it comes to car upgrades. Previous car owners do not necessarily sell their cars due to mechanical malfunction. The desire to own better car models is one of the driving force towards selling their previous cars.

Tire rotation is essential to the life of your tires and your safety while on the road.

The front end and back end of your vehicle are different weights, and the weight difference causes your tires to wear unevenly. Rotating your tires on a regular basis will help your tires wear more evenly. Uneven wear or tear could cause your tires to fail, resulting in a flat tire or blowout. 

The 2017 Subaru Outback was one of the cars picked by Kelly Blue Book for its list of the best family cars of 2017. The 2018 Subaru Outback is even better, improving on its predecessors to create a car that KBB describes as "the most recommendable vehicle for the broadest range of buyers." Boasting a spacious interior with seating for five, the 2018 Outback packs enough room and comfort to satisfy most anyone.
