Congratulations to the Rices and good luck with their next chapter. JE Rice always provided the most outstanding knowledge and customer service, and had anything and everything we ever needed. They definitely added “true value” to the community and will be sorely missed.

The average new car has over two dozen computer modules working behind the scenes, a vast network of sensors, and hundreds of electrical wires linking all these components together.

With the exception of electric vehicles, all other cars (including your hybrid) have an oil filter. Regarding routine maintenance, the engine oil and oil filter are items that need to be replaced more often than anything else on the vehicle. Yes, even your tires. There has always been a debate as to how often this is necessary, and there always will be a debate because, well, it depends. A general rule of thumb is 5,000 miles between oil changes but this will vary based on vehicle age, usage, and manufacturer requirements.

Increased fines, stalled traffic, and bumpy driving surfaces make work zones an annoyance for motorists. While U.S. drivers are fortunate to live in a country that maintains its roadways and displays to its citizens their tax dollars at work, it seems that at least one section of our normal route is under construction at all times. This necessary annoyance is the cause of thousands of traffic accidents each year, many of which involve individuals whose job it is to resurface, repair, and replace our roadways.
