ALL 2015 BUICK MODELS RECEIVED 5 STAR SAFETY RATING

Buick has brought to the market what consumers are looking for. Style, Safety, Luxury and Technology. Buick is pushing aside the competition and rising to the top.

Competing against the European market is a tough challenge, and it looks like the Buick Regal has done it. Consumer Reports naming the Buick Regal a Top Pick in the Sports Sedans, over the German manufacturers is a huge boost to the Buick brand.

Consumer Reports Best Sports Sedan for 2015: Buick Regal

The 2015 Buick Encore, Verano, Enclave, LaCrosse, and Regal have all earned a 5 Star Safety Rating. More Stars mean Safer Cars. Thanks to the newly enhanced 5-Star Safety Ratings System, selecting the safest car for you and your family just got easier.

The score is a combination of a frontal crash test, side crash tests, and rollover tests. Additional improvements to the program include: side pole testing, using different sized test dummies, collecting more crash data, and highlighting new high-tech crash avoidance features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Forward Collision Warning (FCW).

The Safety Ratings are listed on the new car window stickers.

You should keep in your Car

Things You Should Really Think About Keeping In Your Car  

(Because, you just never know)

 

• Water – You can drink it, wash up, clean, or put in your radiator)

• Duct Tape – It is like glue. It will put just about anything back together.

• Spare Clothes – Wet, muddy, dirty, stained, hot, cold, you just never know when a spare set of clothes.

• Lug Wrench – Some have pry bar on the end, others do not. Either way you need one to get that flat tire off or the spare on.

• Collapsible Shovel – Whether you are an off road driver or not. If you have to dodge another car or an animal, you could end up in the soft shoulder of the road or in a soggy mess. When in doubt, shovel out.

• Food – You can get hungry waiting for help.

• Spare Key – Do you know that feeling, when you just realized you have lost or locked your keys in the car? Do you know the feeling when you realize…you have a spare one? Tuck one somewhere for safe keeping.

• Jumper Cables – They are great to have when you left the lights on (again)…easier to get a jump if you have cables in your car.

• Tire Pressure Gauge – Check your tire pressure (saves your res, gas and maybe your life. Many of the air tanks don’t have working or proper gauges. You don’t want to over inflate your tires or under inflate for that matter.

• First Aid Kit – If nothing else, keep some aspirin and band aids in your glove box...you just never know.

• Flashlight – Flat tire or dropped your keys in the dark….Check the batteries once a month, so it is ready for you when you need it.

• Money –Keep some spare( spare?!) money somewhere safe just in case…

• Jack – Very necessary, for fixing flats

•  Spare Tire/Tools – again…very necessary

• Gas Can –…I can’t believe I just ran out of Gas..

• Jacket or Blanket and/or Gloves - the weather can change in an instant, changing a tire, staying warm while waiting for help, and many other reasons.

What do you keep in your vehicle? 

10 Easy Tips for Winterizing your car

A mild winter snow

Sometimes the last thing we think about is protecting our cars when the winter cold sets in.

Here are a 10 Tips on helping to protect your vehicle from the harsh Winter: 

1. Keep your gas tank on the full side- this will allow for less condensation in your tank.

2. Squirt some WD-40 or lubricant, a little lubricant into your door locks- The locks won't freeze on you.

3. Spray a lubricant (Cooking Spray) on your door seals (rubber) then rub down with a paper towel. This should keep your doors from freezing shut.

4. Wash and wax your car one time before winter. The salt can do a real number on your car's body and frame.

5. Use the 4WD, it will give you better traction but still slow down, just because you are in 4WD doesn't mean you can STOP any better.

6. Keep an extra Jacket in your car, one you don't mind getting messed up.

7. Consider N2 for your tires. Pure nitrogen tends to react significantly less with temperature helping the contact patch on your tire remain uniform in varying temperatures.

8. Clean and lubricate all the door seals. Clean with a good window cleaning olution, then spray silicone lubricant on a paper towel and wipe down the seals and mating metal surfaces. Keeps you from having doors frozen shut.  

9. Drivers do not use Cruise Control on wet or cold frozen roads. The Cruise control can overspin the powered tires.

Dude - Which one is my CAR?

10. Treat your alloy rims. Spray some nonstick spray( like Pam) on a rag, then wipe down the rims. Keeps the salt that gets kicked up from doing much, and keeps your wheels looking nice.

Keep it between the lines,
