What’s that in the gas station window?

A hot dog? A special on Cokes?

You can’t help yourself. It’s a long ride ahead, so you grab a few and hit the road.

Enjoy them, but make sure wrappers and bottles are disposed of properly. Environmental concerns aside, trash can migrate under your feet and interfere with pedals and brakes. The back seat is usually enough to guard against this, but just to be safe, stow trash in a plastic bag.

There are enough surprises on the road—make sure there are none in your car!

Your headlights should be bright and colorless. If they’re hazy or yellow, then your lenses need replacing.

Here’s what happened. Lenses are made from a polycarbonate material. It’s more durable than glass, but it oxidizes in sunlight and accumulates thousands of minute nicks from road debris. Over time, this makes your lights appear cloudy.

Since headlights are your first line of defense for night driving, visit your dealer mechanic today to get clear, safe lenses.

You take care of your car. You polish it, you park away from others … and you come out of the grocery store to find a shopping cart has crashed into it. Or the guy behind you didn’t look as he was backing up. Now there’s a dent in your fender, but don’t worry! Your dealer has special tools to rub out little bumps and bruises, usually without the need for paint. If your car requires more complicated bodywork, many dealers can perform it—if not, they’ll refer you to an authorized shop.

So don’t live with that dent. Let your dealer give you an estimate for the damage—you’ll be surprised how easy and affordable it is to make your car look like new.
