5 ESSENTIAL NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS FOR CAR OWNERS

Happy New Year 2024! With the new year comes resolutions- working out, saving money, or even decided to learn a new skill, but as we look to better our lives, but one thing we often take for granted is the health of our vehicles.

We count on our cars to get us to work, run errands, go to doctor appointments, even for travel - we need to make sure that it is safe and reliable, so here are 5 New Year Resolutions every car owner should have.

***Regular maintenance: It’s important to follow owner’s manual recommendations for oil-change intervals (checking all fluid levels and tire pressure, replacing filters, rotating and balancing tires) and major services like having the timing belt replaced.

***Doing maintenance like this helps extend the life of your vehicle, keeps your gas mileage high, and reduces emissions. In the long run, regular check-ups save you money.

***Washing and cleaning your car: Washing your car at home gives you the opportunity to look for any damage you may have not noticed. You may want to clean the interior of your car (frequently touched areas), soap and hot water is a safe option that will also help to fight against germs and viruses, including COVID.

***Driving Safely: Slow down when you’re on an unfamiliar or rough road, and avoid distracted driving (don't text and drive). Stay alert and keep enough distance between you and the vehicle in front of you so you can avoid issues. Doing this will help you take better care of your vehicle and may even help reduce the occurrences of body damage.

***Learn How to Change A Tire: This is something every car owner should know how to do. You can just call for roadside assistance but what if you don’t have AAA, membership expired or your cell phone died? There might come a time when you need to know this important skill. This is important especially if you have a new driver in your family. Check your tire pressure when you fill up for gas.

***Know How to Jump Start Your Car from a Dead Battery: As the months get colder, the cold weather can drain your battery, and nobody wants to get stranded out in the cold. Preventing a dead battery from happening in the winter should always be at the top of your check list. Use your owner's manual and follow the instructions step by step.

Start 2024 off right and bring your car in for a courtesy comprehensive inspection. Our expert technicians at Bell’s Automotive Service are ready to help ensure your car is in tip top condition to begin the New Year!

Truth: excellent & honest post from a fellow small business owner we support!

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work-life balance.

You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend...

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed.

It takes a toll. It’s really exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives.

Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

Bell’s is open Monday 11/20, Tuesday 11/21 and Wednesday 11/22 from 7:00am-6:00pm and will be closed Thursday 11/23 and Friday 11/24.

Stop in this week and get your vehicle checked out by one of our awesome mechanics.

More people are traveling this year and AAA projects 55.4 million Americans will travel for the Thanksgiving holiday, an increase of 2.3% over last year.

Important car care tips for everyday driving around town and long road trips!
~ Get your oil changed if you're due
~Check your car's battery
~Inspect belts and hoses
Top off fluids and replace filters
~Verify lights and electrical equipment are working
~Check the brakes
~ Replace engine and cabin air filters
~Inspect tires
~Top off all your fluids before you leave: *antifreeze
*power steering fluid
*brake fluid
*transmission fluid
*windshield fluid

Plan ahead to avoid any road trip nightmares. The three most common problems on the road are flat tires, dead batteries and/or lockouts.

The crew at Bell’s Automotive Service are grateful and super thankful for each and every customers.

Warm wishes to you and your families for a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday.
