Car care tip of the week!

 Don't you wish you could have your own Pikachu to help charge your battery when it is low on juice? All the money we could save for years to come. Now that winter is here getting your battery to perform can even be more of a challenge!

Batteries can have problems in cold weather. A battery is a can full of chemicals that produce electrons. The chemical reactions inside of batteries take place more slowly when the battery is cold, so the battery produces fewer electrons. The starter motor therefore has less energy to work with when it tries to start the engine, and this causes the engine to crank slowly.

Schedule your next service appointment at Miller Chevrolet to see if your battery is charged and ready for winter!

Veterans Day!

Veterans Day is Monday November 11th! Be sure to honor and give support to all the Veterans that served as well as the families of those who served that gave their lives fighting to protect our freedom!

Here is a little History about Veterans Day:

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.

 Thanks to all those who have served! Your services are forever appreciated and will never be forgotten! 

Stop texting and driving!

The popularity of mobile devices has had some unintended and even dangerous consequences. We now know that mobile communications are linked to a significant increase in distracted driving, resulting in injury and even loss of life.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2010 driver distraction was the cause of 18 percent of all fatal crashes – with 3,092 people killed – and crashes resulting in an injury – with 416,000 people wounded.

Eleven percent of drivers aged 18 to 20 who were involved in an automobile accident and survived admitted they were sending or receiving texts when they crashed. Research suggests that texting slows driver reaction times more than being drunk and the act is a constant risk nowadays as everyone carries phones.

How do you prefer to watch the game!?

Do you like watching the game from home? Benefits from being at home would include: saving money on tickets and food. Sitting on your own comfy couch, and using your own personal toilet for when you got to go. Not having to deal with ridiculous amounts of traffic before and after.

Would you rather watch the game from the stands? Benefits from watching in the stands may include: Yelling as loud as you want without upsetting the spouse or kids, getting the great feeling of a roaring stadium after a touchdown or goal. Delicious hot dogs and ice cold beverages, no boring commercials to take away from whats going on in the game.

Winterize Your Car

 

Winter is near and you know what that means!! Slick roads, slow drivers, bad weather conditions!
Be sure to have the right tires suitable for bad weather conditions such as snow or rain. Make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are in good condition. Keep an ice scraper for when its snowing out as ice tends piles up on your windshield. Make sure your A/C unit is running well to help melt the ice off and to keep the windshield from getting fogged up. If traveling long distances keep a blanket in your car as well as a few snacks for survival purposes. BE CAUTIOUS out there!!
