The Easter Weekend is a time when many of us hit the road in our trusty vehicles to be with Friends and Family. This is a solemn holiday and also a joyous one, so we thought we'd recommend a fun game you can play:
The Easter Egg-Race Challenge!

To play you only need a few spoons and Easter Eggs! Here's how to play:

1️⃣ Gather your family and friends for some outdoor fun in the sun!
2️⃣ Mark out your starting line and finishing line using anything from the starting line to a tree and back, or to a fence and back - get creative with it! 🎨
3️⃣ Hold your spoon tightly with one hand and balance an egg carefully in it, while keeping your other arm behind your back - it's all about skill, folks! 🥄🥚
4️⃣ Now, on the count of one, two, three, GO! 🚦 Dash like lightning towards the finish line, but be sure to keep that egg from taking a tumble! 🏃‍♂️💨
5️⃣ If your egg decides to make a run for it and falls off, no worries! Just pick it up and start over - every racer deserves a second chance! 🔄🥚
6️⃣ The grand prize? Bragging rights, of course! 🏆 The first one to reach the finish line with their egg still perched in the spoon and an arm firmly behind their back takes home the fame!

So, gather your peeps and hop to it! 🐰

Have a Wonderful and Blessed Easter Weekend Central Texas! 🚗 And if you discover your auto could use a little TLC while you're on the road, be sure to give us a call! We'll be happy to schedule a time for you to swing by our shop for the best expert vehicle services in the Hill Country!

Wow, how time does fly! 10 years ago our new auto repair shop was christened by Trinity Lutheran Church Pastor Bobby Niemtschk.

Our family and friends came together to build the shop ourselves from the ground up. It was a huge investment, a whole lot of work, and a big leap of faith. We took our family-owned and operated automotive repair business to the next level, greatly expanding our size to welcome thousands more Central Texas customers over the years.

We've been incredibly blessed with the support and friendship of so many in our local community. We owe all our success to the folks who come to see us every day for their automotive repair and auto maintenance needs.

We will always honor your trust, and always respect your pocket book!

Thank you so much for your support, and for being a part of our family’s history and future!

Thanks to our fantastic team family for making this year's Company Christmas Party so much fun! May your entire holiday season be filled with fun and laughter (and maybe a few more funky Christmas sweaters)!

To all our wonderful customers, Merry Christmas! We hope you ring out the rest of 2023 with friends, family, and celebration!

The winter season is upon us, bringing with it challenges for our vehicles on our icy Central Texas roads!

Below we have a quick 10-step checklist to prepare your car for the winter elements. For our full article with in-depth information, visit us at https://laboronlyautorepair.com/10-step-essential-checklist-to-winterize-your-vehicle/

1. Thorough Standard Maintenance Inspection: Ensure your car's overall maintenance is up-to-date.

2. Battery Health Check: Cold temperatures put your car's battery under increased demand to start the engine.

3. Windshield Wipers and Fluid Management: Replace worn-out windshield wiper blades and ensure an ample supply of windshield wiper fluid.

4. Heater and Defroster Functionality: Functional air conditioning and heating is crucial for effective defrost operation.

5. Tire Inspection and Consideration of Snow Tires: Regularly inspect tires for remaining tread life, uneven wear, and damage.

6. Monitor Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure monthly, allowing your tires to cool before inspection.

7. Regular Oil Changes: Combat cold-induced oil thickening by scheduling regular oil changes.

8. Belt and Hose Inspection: Regularly inspect your belts and hoses for cracks or signs of wear and tear to prevent breakdowns.

9. Post-Snowstorm Car Cleaning: After a snowstorm, take your car for a touchless car wash to remove magnesium chloride used for deicing roads.

10. Equip Your Car with an Emergency Kit: Despite thorough planning, winter weather can still catch you off guard. Safeguard yourself by having an emergency kit in your car vehicle.

SUMMER CAR CARE: KEEP YOUR VEHICLE RUNNING SMOOTHLY

The summer months can be just as tough on your car as the winter season. To protect your vehicle from excessive wear during hot weather, there are several steps you can take.

TIRE UPKEEP
Your tires are particularly susceptible to wear in the summer. Low tire pressure can lead to overheating and potential blowouts, especially on scorching days when the roads reach high temperatures. Avoid driving with under-inflated tires during summer. Regularly check the tire pressure every month, as they tend to lose about a pound of pressure with normal driving. Remember to measure the pressure when the tires are cool for accurate readings, and always maintain the recommended pressure specified in the manufacturer's manual.

FLUID INSPECTION
Various fluids in your car play a crucial role in cooling its systems and preventing overheating. Regularly check these fluids during the summer to ensure they are at adequate levels. Monitor the motor oil, steering fluid, transmission fluid, and brake fluid for any potential losses. If necessary, top up these fluids with the types recommended by the manufacturer.

COMBATING ENGINE HEAT
The summer heat can intensify the heat generated by the engine, leading to potential overheating risks. To avoid this, flush out the cooling system during the summer season. Although you can refer to the car's manufacturer instructions for guidance, it's best to have a professional perform this maintenance as part of a comprehensive cooling system service. Additionally, keep an eye on the coolant levels between flushes to ensure sufficient heat management. During this check, inspect the drive belts and hoses according to the manufacturer's guidelines to identify and address any cracks or damages caused by the summer heat.
