Fuel up!

We understand it may be more difficult than ever to overcome the burden of inflated fuel prices, but please don’t allow that to stop your vehicle from receiving the right amount/type of fuel.  Cutting costs at the pump can lead to significant problems long term.  According to a recent study published by AAA, stranded motorist […]

If you’ve paid any attention at all to the motor vehicle safety industry lately, you’ve heard a great deal of debate about which is the proper (and ultimately most safe) positioning for your vehicle’s side mirrors.  There’s of course the traditional “narrow” setting, where a sliver of your vehicle is in plain view.  But in […]

April showers bring…

…May flowers, right?  Yes, we believe that’s the case.  But we’re going with the more obvious here: RAIN Where there’s heavy rain, the right set of wiper blades can help keep visibility strong and prevent a potential traffic accident.  Most of us haven’t given much thought to wiper blades because they’re simply a necessity and […]

We’ve had the good fortune of knowing several people associated with Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids for many years (up to 20).  This organization has most recently been garnering local/regional attention for their upcoming LaughFest series, but long before this idea was even conceived they’ve been doing incredible and necessary work.  For those of you affected […]

Pothole(d)

This is becoming too common an expression.  But before we go throwing the road commission under a bus, we understand they are doing the best job they can to address these hazards and we completely support their efforts.  The verbal outburst we’re speaking of, in case you were wondering, goes something like this “I’ve just […]
