It is because they do not deal with the exact same stresses. Rotate tires every 6,000 miles to prevent uneven wear and get more miles out of your tires before having to buy new ones. Have the alignment checked if the car pulls to either side when driving • Checking and changing oil regularly is critical to keep today’s engines running properly and efficiently • Checking and changing your air filter every six months improves fuel economy and keeps your en- gine running smoothly • Properly maintaining and routine replacement of belts and hoses could save you time and money over the life of your vehicle Jake and Libby have two children, two dogs, three cats, five goats, and two horses. “We have a variety pack,” said Jake. Libby does the shop’s bookkeeping and cleaning and she is also a part-time registered nurse.
