Choosing the Right Tires for your Vehicle this Winter

Image
As we head into winter, it is imperative that you have good tires and proper alignment on your vehicle.  If you notice your vehicle is pulling one way or the other as you drive or you encounter unusual tire wear, it is likely due to improper alignment.  You might also notice a lack of traction when braking during inclement weather.  These are just two indicators that you need to have a tire and wheel inspection.   Choosing the right tires can be a bit overwhelming and many make their decision based on price alone - there are many other factors to consider and that is why you should talk to the Certified Service experts at  Hulett Buick Chevrolet GMC .    We can help you with all aspects of your vehicles wheel and tire performance.   Poor alignment can result from a number of factors that over time can cause your vehicle’s suspension and steering system to slip out of adjustment.  In addition, trucks, SUVs and sports cars have special tire needs based on their environment and tr

Halloween Safety Tips for the Entire Family

Image
As you get ready to take your kids out for Halloween this year, consider discussing some basic rules with to help ensure a fun evening.  These rules are not all-inclusive and you may need to adapt them to your particular situation but hopefully these will give you some ideas for a safer Halloween!!    Younger children should always walk with an adult. Older children should always walk in a group. Bring and USE a flashlight. Wear brightly colored costumes. Use reflective tape or glow sticks to make your children are visible. Cross at crosswalks and make eye contact with drivers before you cross. Inspect all candy before allowing your child to snack. Older children should carry a phone if possible AND answer it when Mom calls.  We hope that you and your children have a fun-filled night of trick-or-treating - be sure to use caution and watch out for kiddos as they are crossing streets!
