It's a given that we want to keep our kids safe, including when we travel. Here's some information that can help you better understand what type of car seats you might need.

Babies should always ride in a rear-facing car seat. Rules vary by state, but in some places, children are to ride backwards until they reach the age of two.

When children are ready to face forward, they should be riding with a…

The alternator does more than many drivers even realize. If the alternator were to start failing, you would begin to lose the ability to enjoy even the most basic luxury inside the vehicle.

In order to function, the alternator is powered by a belt running to the engine, and basically recharges each time the car is running. As long as there are no issues with the alternator, the system charges and then provides power to dozens of other things in the vehicle. 

When you are out driving the streets, you want to get the best traction possible. You also want tires that wear well. Summer tires and all-season tires are both options. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages.

Summer tires are made of a sticky substance that allows for better traction. These tires are very good at channeling away the water on the roadway to prevent hydroplaning. In the very cold weather, summer tires get hard, and they don't provide very good traction. 

Detailing with a clay bar removes particles, dirt, and traces of airborne chemicals from the surface of your vehicle. The clay bar and clay lubricant remove embedded particles and buildups. The smooth surface helps washing and waxing protect metal against corrosion. Detailed vehicles look better and resist the damaging effects of roadway dust, debris, and airborne chemicals.

Drivers notice the extra depth and sheen that detailing adds to a car, truck or SUV. The smooth, detailed surface offers a deep gloss that stands out even among recently washed and waxed vehicles.

When you brake, your brake pedals should always feel firm. If they feel spongy or soft, it could mean there is a problem that needs service by a skilled automotive technician at our service center at Page Honda Bloomfield. Here are some reasons that your brake pedals may need service.
