How To Clean Your Engine
We all love having a clean car, but the engine is not something we typically clean during normal car washes. Engine cleaning takes time and special care in order to do the job properly without damaging any components.
In preparation, always make sure that the weather is on your side while the engine dries after cleaning. Just like oil inspections, the vehicle’s engine needs to be cooled off because working with a hot engine is dangerous and can lead to injury.
It’s also important to have a good cleaner/engine degreaser that will get the job done. Brands such as Chevron, Restore, Griot’s, Simple Green (natural degreaser) and more all make these products. Be sure to follow the directions on the bottle carefully.
- Start by covering all electrical parts, electronics and wires with plastic to avoid getting these components wet. You can also remove the battery or battery cables, removing the negative cable first to avoid a short in the circuit.
- Use a brush to wipe any debris or dirt throughout your engine.
- Spray the engine with degreaser thoroughly and with caution to the electrical parts, and scrub it in with a stiff, synthetic-bristle brush to remove any caked on engine grease. Let it soak for at least 5 minutes.
- Rinse your engine with a regular, low pressure hose. If you have a nozzle available, set it on a small stream setting. You want to take all precautions to avoid the electrical components! Be sure to also rinse the exterior of your vehicle in case any degreasing product made its way on your paint.
- Dry your engine with an absorbent shop towel or compressed air for all those small areas. Take the plastic off and make sure no electrical components are dry. You can then replace the battery or negative cable. Let your engine area air dry the rest of the way before running your vehicle.

Summer Car Care Tips
Make sure your coolant system is working properly.
The cooling system keeps your engine from overheating, which can be an occurrence more likely to happen in the heat of the Summer season. Check hoses for any leaks or cracks, and ensure your coolant is clean and topped off. If your vehicle may need it, a coolant flush is a good idea to schedule.
Keep your fluids up.
The fluids inside your vehicle are key to keep everything working in proper order. Fluids work hard to keep your engine systems cool in the extreme heat. Your fluids include brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, and the most regularly checked — motor oil. Oil should be changed regularly in order for a smooth-running engine.
Inspect your brakes.
When braking, especially from high speeds, the friction produces a lot of heat. The extra heat from the Summer can create even more wear on your brakes. It is a good idea to get your brakes inspected to ensure that your brakes are ready to handle the Summer roads.
Check your tire pressure regularly.
Whether it is drastic heat or drastic cold, the outside temperature can have an effect on your tire pressure. Heat can cause your tire pressure to increase, and a sudden drop of temperature can do just the opposite to your tires. It’s a good idea to give a good glance over your tires before you head out on your way, and be sure to get a professional inspection regularly to make sure your tires are healthy.

Tips on Driving with Your Dog
Keep your dog attended to at all times.
Take your best friend with you! When you’re leaving the car, make sure that your dog gets to go too. A car can reach scorching temperatures on even a 70-degree day so always make sure your dog is safe at home before you have to run errands where your dog is unable to come along.
Be sure your dog has their identification.
Exploring is one of your dog’s favorite things to do, so it’s important that your dog is prepared with the proper identification in case exploring gets the best of them! It’s also great to consider getting a microchip for your best friend.
Don’t let your dog ride loose in your truck bed.
This can be very dangerous as you never know what may happen when you’re on the road. If you are involved in an accident, your dog has a high risk of serious injury in the truck bed. Keeping your dog inside the cabin is the safest place for your dog to ride. If you cannot keep them in the cabin, keep a secured kennel in the back of the truck.
Always have extra pet supplies.
From a water bowl and water, to rolls of waste bags, it’s important to make sure you’ll have everything you’ll need to keep your pet happy, healthy and safe when traveling.
Pet accessories can make their ride more comfortable.
There are so many accessories out there designed to keep your pet safe when in the car! These include pet nets to prevent your pet from entering the driver’s area or front of the cabin, backseat extenders to increase your seat space for your pet, seat belt leashes and more!
