With the recent snow and generally bad weather we’ve had in the last few months, your used car dealer Pennsylvania urges you to check you tires when you get a chance.

During the winter months, potholes get bigger and they are harder to see because they are often hidden by snow. As a result, drivers tend to hit more potholes and sometimes not even realize it. This can cause your car to lose its alignment which will cause your tires to wear unevenly. If left unchecked, your tires could have a blowout at the worst possible time.

In addition to potholes, emergency braking can have a negative effect on your tires. Skidding on ice can damage your tires and extra wear on your brakes.

Another reason to check your tires as the weather begins to warm up is because tire pressure tends to drop during the colder months. This means you may have been driving on your tires when they didn’t have enough air pressure and you could have caused damage as a result.

Your used car dealer Pennsylvania offers this advice to help you stay safe and avoid accidents. If you need to replace your tires or have them checked, the service garage at your Media area Pontiac dealer can help you. Don’t put it of any longer. Visit one today!

Your PA auto dealers want to do a public service to its customers and readers of this blog by warning about illegal parking. If you’ve ever seen the hit TV show “Parking Wars” on A&E , you know exactly what we’re talking about.

“Parking Wars” shows how illegal parking can mess up your day. The PPA, or Philadelphia Parking Authority, is not afraid to give a ticket to a person when it is warranted. In addition to that, they also send out a special truck to “boot” the cars that have too many unpaid parking tickets. The tow crew also specializes in towing all types of vehicles for parking illegally. I’ve even seen an episode where they towed away a motorcycle for parking in a no-parking zone.

The most frustrating part of getting a parking ticket in Philadelphia, however, is the impound lot. It’s not uncommon to spend a couple hours waiting in line only to find out you don’t have all the documentation you need to get your car off the impound lot. There have even been episodes where illegal parkers have spent the entire day there.

Just let this be a lesson to you. When you leave your Newtown Square area Pontiac dealer with that new or used car, be careful where you park if you’re in Philadelphia. The PPA could be waiting for you!

When you visit your Conshohocken area Toyota dealer , you may notice a new model there that brings back some memories. If you grew up during the 1970s or 1980s, chances are that your parents or one of your friends’ parents had a station wagon. While the new Toyota Venza is not a station wagon per se, it is reminiscent of that bygone staple in family transportation.

Station wagons began to grow obsolete as the SUV and minivan took its place. But now it seems that the Venza is taking back the station wagon market with its “amazing amount of room” and versatility for “people who need to carry a lot of stuff,” according to the owner of one Toyota dealer. Some Toyota dealers in the industry are confident that consumers will be trading in their larger, gas-guzzling SUVs for the more compact and efficient Venza.

“They haven’t built anything like this before,” said one Toyota dealer. He went on to say that he Venza provides a “stylish alternative to the traditional sedan.”

Whether you enjoyed driving a station wagon 20 or 30 years ago or if you just like the extra room and efficiency, the Toyota Venza is perfect for you. Visit your Toyota dealer and check one out today!

Your used car dealer Pennsylvania knows that financial times are tough for everybody right now. It seems like every day there’s a new corporation laying people off or just going out of business. It makes you wonder who is going to go under next. As a car owner, though, you can do some things to save money and put more of it back into your pocket. One way is to save on your auto insurance. Here are a few tips to accomplish that.

1. Shop Around – Even if you already have insurance, it doesn’t hurt to make a few phone calls or look at other companies online. I recently did this and saved about 50 percent on my premiums for the exact same (possibly even better) coverage.
2. Consider the medical coverage. If you already have health or medical insurance, consider reducing or eliminating the medical coverage for yourself that is offered by your auto insurance company. Why pay for it twice if your other policy takes care of it?
3. Install some safety features. You can save a lot on your auto insurance by installing an alarm and other anti-theft devices.
4. Purchase a car from your Media area Pontiac dealer that is cheaper for insurance. Did you know four-door cars are less expensive to insure than two-door cars? Ask your sales representative and your insurance agent about insurance rates before making your final decision.

Follow these tips from your used car dealer Pennsylvania and you may be able to save hundreds on your auto insurance premiums this year!

One of the main misconceptions about the Toyota Prius and hybrids in general is that they do not perform well in the snow. The reviewers at Cars.com took the Toyota Prius for a drive in the snow to answer this very question.

According to senior editor Joe Wiesenfelder, the Prius performed ideally in the snow. In fact, it performed almost too well as the traction control took over for safer driving. “Mother Nature even threw some snow at the Prius,” he wrote,” and in that situation, it performed fine. The only drawback is that my car’s traction control was a bit intrusive.” He went on to say: “The electronic stability system definitely made for safer travel, but the electric motor’s high torque easily spun the driver wheels.”

Other drivers have had great experiences with a Prius in the snow. One driver commented on this website that he put snow tires on his Prius and he has “as good of snow vehicle as any 2 wheel drive around [sic].” Others report similar experiences. It seems that the traction control in the Prius and other hybrids is better than in many gas-powered vehicles, giving them yet another advantage.

Now that you know what others have experienced, you can visit your Doylestown area Toyota dealer before the winter is over and invest in a new Prius. Just think of the look on the faces of SUV drivers when you leave them in your dust on the winter roads!
