🐭 **Cooler nights are coming—and you may not be the only one who notices.**

Mice and other rodents sometimes seek out warm, protected spaces as temperatures drop, and your vehicle can look pretty inviting.

Unfortunately, an unwanted guest under the hood can mean chewed wiring, damaged insulation and an expensive surprise. 😬

Keep the area around your vehicle clean, check under the hood occasionally, and watch for signs of nesting or chewing.

See something suspicious? **Gappa Automotive can take a look before a little critter creates a big problem.**

🚗 FUN FACT FRIDAY!

🍂 Your car may actually get slightly better fuel economy in late-summer weather than during the cold of winter.

Cold temperatures can reduce fuel economy because your engine takes longer to reach its most efficient operating temperature, tire pressure drops, and winter fuel blends can contain less energy per gallon.

So enjoy these last warm-weather miles while they last! 😎

Before long, Minnesota will be reminding all of us what “cold start” really means. 🥶🚗

🔧 WEEKEND WARRIORS, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!

Boat to tow? Camper to pull? Yard project that somehow turned into an all-weekend project? 😆

Whatever you've got planned, your truck or SUV may be working just as hard as you are.

Before you load it up and hit the road, make sure the tires, brakes, fluids and cooling system are ready for the extra workload.

💪 Work hard. Play hard. Keep your vehicle ready for both.

Have a great weekend from Gappa Automotive! 🚙

🚌 School is back, and so are busy mornings!

As students head back to class, keep an extra eye out for buses, bikes, crosswalks and kids who may not always be watching for you.

Slow down, stay alert, put the phone away and give yourself a little extra time. A few seconds of patience can help make sure everyone gets where they're going safely. ❤️
