Summer is nearly here. While it seems like we are still in the midst of a wet spring, preparations are being made in our family for graduations, summer travels, and the transition from the school year to summer camps.

In order to cope with the rigors of summer, I need to make sure our family car is ship-shape. I know aside from the spontaneous trip to to Tahoe, we will be shuttling kids from home to camps that will have us driving all over the Bay Area including two daily trips to Stinson Beach. Like most other families, we are always on a tight schedule and never plan for the unexpected. Our car must perform safely and reliably and get my family back and forth from these adventures without any drama.

I will budget a day to bring in our car for a safety inspection and maintenance knowing that I can’t afford the time for an unexpected breakdown. Many of our customers run on the same tight time schedule. My advice: look at your calendars and pick a day to bring in your car. We have four excellent and experienced technicians that will be able to take good care of your car or SUV. Let Jim or me know your goals for the upcoming months and we will make recommendations to ensure your summer travels go like clockwork.
