Sal's Auto & Truck Repair New Car Tires, Maintenance & Safety Tips for Spring & Summer

5/23/2018

28 Comments

 
With warmer temps in Acton & the Boston West burbs, it's time to get your car ready for spring and summer holiday travel!  Tires are an important piece of safety equipment on your vehicle - tires (and brakes) are what is between you and the road!  Sal's Auto Repair can help you choose the right tires for you, your vehicle, budget and driving conditions.  

Check out Sal's Auto Repair Acton Tire Buying, Seasonal Car Maintenance Safety Tips & Specials:

  1. Check Tires for proper inflation. Tire pressure increases in the hot weather (Tires lose pressure in the Cold weather).  Lower tire pressure can reduce your vehicle’s traction especially on wet roads AND reduce your gas mileage (thanks for the comment!).

    **Tip from Jean & Sal – Check proper Tire PSI inflation in your car manual or on the inside door panel (not on PSI on the side of the tire!).   

  2. Regular Tire Rotation helps with even tread wear and extend your Tire life.  Sal’s recommends rotating your tires about every 6,000 miles (+/- depending on patterns –rule of thumb – Rotate tires every other oil change – See Sal’s FREE Lifetime Tire Rotation Special)

  3. Put New Tires on the back of the vehicle for better traction in Snow and wet road conditions (tip courtesy of Michelin Tire Safety Expert who says "If you lose traction in the rear first, the car's gonna spin. Physics always wins.")

Is your Tire Pressure Symbol ON or think you may need New Tires?  Sal’s offers a Complimentary 60 point Vehicle Inspection and Safety Check with any service.  Take advantage of Sal's Auto 2018 Car Care Maintenance Service Specials and FREE Lifetime Tire Rotation with Purchase of 4 New Tires from Sal’s Auto & Truck Repair--- Offer valid with purchase of Oil Change or Any Auto Service.(1 coupon per visit please).

At Sal’s Auto, experience tells us regular car and tire maintenance can save you money (avoiding costly car repairs down the road) and help keep your vehicle safe, reliable & efficient every season.
