It's National Tire Safety Week

This week it's National Tire Safety Week! With the unofficial kick-off of summer that Memorial Day represents, vacation time and road trips may be on the mind. Take some time this week to make sure your vehicle’s tires are up to par for your upcoming adventures this summer. Don’t get stranded or left in a less than desirable situation due to unchecked tires! While some tire tragedies are simply caused by an accident, many can be prevented by following these simple maintenance tips, most of which can be done at home.

Check your tire pressure

You should know the correct tire pressure for your vehicle and check it often. The correct pounds/square inch (psi) can be found on a sticker somewhere along inside of your driver side door. Generally, most vehicles should be kept around 30 psi. You can purchase an inexpensive tire pressure gauge at a local hardware or car care store and keep it in your car. Under inflated tires can cause uneven wear and become a safety hazard if left unchecked.

Check your tire tread

Many people rely on the “penny check” to tell them if their tires are starting to wear out. If you stick a penny in between the tire tread with Lincoln’s head facing down, and you can see all of Lincoln’s head above the tread then it’s definitely time for new tires. Driving on tires that are too worn can be extremely dangerous, putting you at higher risk of sliding on the road in wet conditions. Worn tires are also more likely to become flat in the case of potholes or sharp objects.

Have your tires balanced, rotated and aligned

You can’t balance, rotate, or align your tires without the proper equipment, so it’s important to bring your vehicle in for these routine maintenance checks. Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles to avoid uneven wear. You may notice that your steering wheel pulls to one side or shakes while you’re driving. If this is the case, your tires probably need to be aligned or balanced. If tires are not aligned and balanced properly, uneven wear can also occur. If you are allowing your tires to wear unevenly, you will find that you need to replace them more often, causing you to spend unnecessary money more often.

Always keep a spare tire and tools in your car

Accidents do happen even when you do everything you can to avoid them. It’s important to be prepared in case of an emergency. Keep a properly inflated spare in your vehicle at all times, as well as the proper equipment needed to change a tire. You should also always have your insurance and phone number to a roadside assistance service in the case that you cannot fix the problem yourself.

Since it's National Tire Safety Week we hope that you take some time to make sure your tires are in good condition! If you’re having any trouble or think you need an alignment check, come down to the dealership today! We always offer free alignment checks in our service center. Our ASE Certified technicians would be happy to make sure your vehicle is running smoothly this summer.

If summer has brought you thoughts of new vehicles, check out our Buying vs. Leasing page to read about the pros and cons of both processes. Once you decide which is right for you, check out the How to Buy and How to Lease pages to learn about everything that goes into each option.

10 Things to be Happy About Right Now

DURAND, Mich. – Sometimes you just feel a little blue and you don’t really know why. At Graff Chevrolet in Durand we think it's important to remember that there is always something to be happy about, so we’ve compiled a list of 10 things to be happy about right now. It can be tough to make it through a long work week but hopefully we can remind you that even the little things in life are a reason to smile.

Good food
Does it really even need to be stated? Your favorite meal or snack is always something to be happy about. What’s your comfort food? What’s your cheat snack or favorite restaurant? Indulge yourself and don’t feel bad about it.

Coffee
Need we say more? Sometimes a pick-me-up is just what you need to get through a long afternoon. Whether it’s a five-dollar latte from your favorite café, or a plain cup of joe from the pot, let the caffeine comfort you.

Visiting new places
Know that home will always be there waiting. Even if it’s just a new restaurant around the corner, sometimes it takes leaving your comfort zone to realize what you already have.

Your favorite pen
Something so simple is easy to take for granted. Bask in the glory that is a smooth-writing ball-point and remember all the times you had to use a sub-par writing utensil. 

Dogs
Or cats, whatever does it for you. Animals are great stress relievers and great friends. Do you really want a human to listen to your crazy rants? Dogs are judgment free. (We're not so sure about cats, but like we said, whatever floats your boat.)

That what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Seriously, take a second to think about this. You’ve survived everything up until this point, haven’t you? If that’s not something to celebrate then what is?

Nice weather
Whatever “nice” means for you, when your favorite weather rolls around take advantage of it! Maybe that means going for a swim at the lake or building a snowman, either way appreciate it.

Knowing the words to an old song
And unashamedly belting out the lyrics. Go ahead and sing that classic rock song and you be proud about it! On another note, be happy that your memory works well enough to recall the lyrics to your old favorites.

Warm clothes from the dryer
And the smell. The smell of fresh laundry is heavenly. Put on a cozy, clean, warm sweatshirt and it’s game over.

Realizing that there are far better things ahead than any you’ve left behind.
No matter where life takes you keep moving forward and always remember to laugh.

If these 10 things to be happy about right now aren’t cutting it for you, maybe a new car can put a smile on your face. Make your way over to our new car inventory and look at all of our awesome 2016 vehicles. Still can't find what you're looking for? We’ve got tons of used cars for you to check out too. We’d love to help you get into the best vehicle that fits your lifestyle. Let our team at Graff Chevrolet Durand assist you with all of your car buying needs.

Does your current vehicle need some cheering up? Let our ASE certified technicians help you with your vehicle maintenance. You can schedule a service appointment online or call our service center at (989) 288-2657.
