Today serves as a reminder to honor the brave people who lost their lives while serving our country. Something we should not do just today, but every day before and after this holiday. Happy Memorial Day, everybody!

Today is National Road Trip Day! Memorial Day weekend is upon us once again and if you have any road trips planned, make sure that your vehicle is in the proper condition to endure some heavy mileage. Luckily, we can take care of that at your local Tuffy!

This Sunday is Mother's Day! Help make sure your mother is safe every day on the road by taking her vehicle to your local Tuffy! Like our mothers, Tuffy knows best and knows how to get the work that needs to be completed Done Right. Period.

Your check engine light being on can mean a number of things. Not sure what is wrong? Bring your vehicle to your local Tuffy and we can get it back in tip-top shape!

National Car Care Month is almost over, but the health of your vehicle should always be a top priority! Especially your vehicle's tires. Every 10-degree drop results in tire pressure loss that equates roughly to one PSI, so your tire pressure has most likely dropped during the winter. Now that warmer weather is coming, make sure your tires are ready for the elements ahead and maybe some fun summer road trips!

This month serves as a reminder to avoid Distracted Driving at all costs. Driving while distracted by our phones has lead to countless accidents that could have been avoided. Remember to keep your eyes on the road and off your screens this month and every month after.

April is also Stress Awareness Month! We understand that keeping your vehicle running smoothly and in good shape can be stressful, but at Tuffy we always promise to get the work Done Right. Period. You can always rely on us!

Did you know April is National Car Care Month? It serves as a great reminder to get your vehicle ready for the upcoming warm weather. Get your vehicle ready for the elements ahead at your local Tuffy!

From our family to yours, we hope you have a fun and safe Easter Sunday with your friends and family!

Happy Friday, everyone! We strive to give our customers 5-star service every day and love hearing about your experiences with us! Share your story with us on Google today!

Don't forget to show your vehicle some love this week at your local Tuffy!

Happy Lego Day!

Wishing You And Your Family A Happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Mouthwatering 4th of July recipes to bring the the party.

These 4th of July Barbecue Recipes + Sides Are Just What You Need It's not too late to plan the perfect dish to wow the crowd.

In the sloppy cold weather months, you might be tempted to pick up an all-weather mat and throw it on top of the mats you already have in your vehicle. After all, double protection is better, right? In this case, wrong. Here's why.

It's important to keep the accelerator and brake pedals clear so they can function the way they are supposed to. Stacking mats in the driver's side footwell can make them sit up too high on the floor. That can, in turn, jam your accelerator pedal forward, causing your vehicle to unintentionally speed up; it may get stuck in that position. Same thing applies to the brake pedal. The mats can get caught underneath it and prevent you from stopping.

Gas-Saving Tips That Actually Work | Kiplinger When fuel prices soar, all kinds of gas-saving schemes get floated. We separate the serious from the silly for you.

Your vehicle has lots of doors including that one usually near the back on the vehicle's side. That's the fuel door, something you use every time you gas up. These endure hundreds of open-and-close cycles, usually without any problems. But when they act up, it can be a major inconvenience for you.

When they stick in the "open" position, it can present real dilemma. You can still pump your gas, but do you just drive around with that flap sticking out the side? What happens if someone steals the gas cap or it gets damaged? What happens if it rains? Yep, it's decision time.

Motivational Monday Quote

“Veterans are a symbol of what makes our nation great, and we must never forget all they have done to ensure our freedom.”- Rodney Frelinghuysen

Hey Portage! Let's talk about one of our Michigan summertime must-haves: your car A/C. It's real easy for Portage drivers to take their car's air conditioner for granted. Just push the right buttons and out comes cool, dry, clean air. But your air conditioning system needs attention from time to time to help it keep its cool.

Do you hear loud noises under the hood when you turn on your air conditioner? Do you only get cool air sporadically? If so, it is time to get your air conditioner checked at Tuffy Portage in Portage.

When most Portage folks hear the words "air conditioning problems." it sends a shiver up their spine. That is because the air conditioning system is fairly complex. It has a lot of parts and when it's broken, it's hard to repair.

7 Ways to Show Your Car Some TLC (and Keep It Running) Driving through snow and ice is so last season. These spring car care tips will get your wheels road-trip ready.

"It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle."

– Norman Schwarzkopf

When someone mentions driving like a maniac, they're not talking about you, surely? Besides the safety issues of aggressive driving, you should know that your vehicle will last a lot longer if you'll just mellow out a little. Here are four traits good drivers follow if they want their vehicles to go the extra distance.

Cool—The driver who can't wait to get to the next stoplight is just shortening the life of his or her vehicle. Jackrabbit starts and uneven acceleration hurts your engine because the valves and cylinder heads are stressed more. All of those moving parts will wear out faster as well as other components that are connected. That means things like the air conditioner, power steering pump… just about anything that attaches by a belt or a pulley. Oh, and you'll be generating more heat. Heat is one of a vehicle's worst enemies.
