There's lots of good information to read in books and online.  You might not know that you can also "read" your tires and learn a lot about what shape they're in and if they are in need of attention. It's important to know how your tires are doing because a tire failure can be very dangerous to you, your passengers and others on the road near you. You read your tire by looking at the surface that rides on the road, where the tread is.  Check out the outer and inner edges.  If you notice there's more wear on the inner or outer edge than on the rest of the tread, your vehicle could be out of alignment.  Wear on an inner or outer edge could mean your wheels are leaning too much to one side.  When you see this, visit our service center soon to have the alignment checked.

The simple fact is that 70% of car batteries fail within 4 years. They just need to be replaced at Drivenmotos Auto Care Clinic when they are no longer able to hold a full charge.Batteries are a big ticket item for most LANCASTER drivers and it’s tempting to put off buying a new one as long as possible. But a battery that cannot hold a full charge requires the alternator to work extra hard, causing it to wear out prematurely.Your Drivenmotos Auto Care Clinic service advisor can test your battery to see if it should be replaced. Testing is a good idea for SC drivers because a battery might still be good, but become dead because of a bad alternator or even a worn serpentine belt and tensioner.
