Here’s something most drivers don’t realize...those wet leaves on the road can be as slippery as ice.

Leaves have a waxy coating that keeps water sitting on top, creating a slick film between your tires and the pavement. A car going 40 mph needs about 80 feet to stop on a dry road but roughly 250 feet on wet leaves. That’s more than three times the distance. Leaves can also hide lane lines, potholes, and curbs.

Slow down, leave extra space, and avoid sudden braking on leaf-covered roads. Good tire tread helps too, because it channels water away.

Not sure your tires and brakes are ready for slick fall roads? Call us for a quick check. 463-7177

The clocks fall back this Sunday, November 1. Is your car ready for the dark? Cloudy, yellowed headlights can output as little as 20% of the light of new ones.

Sunlight slowly damages the protective coating on plastic headlight lenses, and it happens so gradually that most people don’t notice. Restoring the lenses can bring back much of the light output, and replacing them restores it fully.

If you're unsure about your headlights' condition, give us a call at 463-7177.

Most people wait for the first snowflake to think about winter tires. But the number that matters is 45°F, not 32°F.

Once temperatures drop below about 45 degrees, the rubber in all-season tires starts to stiffen. That means less grip, even on dry pavement with no snow in sight. Winter tires use a special compound that stays flexible in the cold, so they grip better.

In NH, the cold mornings are here now, well before the first snowstorm. Look for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol on the sidewall. It means the tire is rated for severe snow.

Beat the first-snowfall rush! Call us to schedule your winter tire swap or purchase your new set of snow tires. 463-7177

April is National Car Care Month! Doing preventative maintenance improves the performance, lifespan, and safety of your vehicle's most important parts - and it helps ensure you don't break down at an inconvenient time or place.

Winter in New Hampshire is hard on vehicles. Spring is the time to deal with whatever it left behind before a small problem turns into a big repair bill. A well-maintained car enhances fuel efficiency, improves driving safety, and prolongs the life of essential components.

Your vehicle got you safely through another New Hampshire winter. Celebrate National Car Care Month the right way and schedule your spring checkup at Pete's. Give us a call! 463-7177

Did you know road salt doesn't just rust your car's body - it goes after your brakes too?

Winter conditions can damage brake pads and rotors through corrosion, and brake lines and calipers can develop rust or leaks from exposure to salt and moisture. The sneaky part? Brake wear from a New Hampshire winter often looks fine on the surface but hides serious corrosion underneath.

Signs to listen for include squeaks, grinding, or clicking noises indicating worn brake pads, and vibrations or delayed braking response that may suggest rotor warping.

Your brakes took a beating this winter. Call us at 463-7177 for a brake inspection and make sure you're stopping safely!

Raise your hand if you've ever turned on your vehicle's AC for the first time in spring - and heard something weird.

Your air conditioning system has been dormant all winter, and it's one of the most neglected parts of a vehicle. If you hear the compressor quickly clicking on and off, that indicates low refrigerant, a sign your system needs attention before the heat hits.

April is National Car Care Month, making it the perfect time to get ahead of warm weather. Don't wait for that first 90-degree day to find out your AC is shot! Give us a call at 463-7177 and we can inspect your AC system before the summer rush.

Do you remember the last time you changed your car's air filter?

Spring brings an increase in pollen, dust, and other particles that can quickly clog air filters, making cabin air quality noticeably worse, especially for allergy sufferers. A clean cabin air filter provides better air quality inside your vehicle and improves heating and cooling efficiency.

Your car's doing its best to filter out the particles you don't want to breathe in, but give it a little help this allergy season!

Ask Pete's to check your cabin air filter; if it's overdue for replacement, it's a quick swap that makes a real difference. Call us today! 463-7177

That pothole you just hit? It might have done more damage than you think and you won't feel it right away.

Hitting a pothole incorrectly can damage the structural parts of your tire, creating a bubble or gash in the sidewall and those don't always show up until the tire fails at highway speed. Beyond tires, potholes can knock your wheels out of alignment, bend rims, and damage your suspension; all things that get worse (and more expensive) the longer they go unchecked.

New Hampshire roads in March can be obstacle courses.

Think you hit something nasty this winter? Let us take a look before a small problem becomes a big one. Give us a call at 463-7177!
