Myth Buster Friday: high beams always help you see better. Not in fog, heavy rain, or snow. All that extra light bounces straight back off the water in the air and makes things worse, not better. Low beams aimed down at the road are the right call. Two notes for the weekend: trick or treaters are out tomorrow night, so take it slow through neighborhoods, and the clocks fall back Sunday, which means your evening drive home just got dark. Check your headlights.

10/29/2026

Halloween night puts a lot of small people on the street at dusk, often in dark costumes and not always at a crosswalk. Slow down through neighborhoods, put the distractions away, and turn your headlights on early. If your low beams are dim or hazy, this is the week to take care of that.

Trivia Wednesday: about what share of fatal crashes happen after dark, even though far less driving happens at night? A) About 10 percent B) About half C) About 90 percent. Take a guess below.

10/27/2026

Cold mornings are the honest test of a vehicle. A slow crank, a heater that takes forever, a squeal at startup, or a low tire light are all your car telling you something before winter makes it worse. If any of that sounds familiar, bring it in while it is still a small job.

Mechanic Monday tip: put a small kit in the trunk before the weather turns. A flashlight, gloves, a phone charger, a blanket, and a scraper. You will not need it most of the year. The one night you do, it will not feel like a small thing at all.

10/23/2026

Myth Buster Friday: cloudy headlights are just a cosmetic problem. They are a safety problem. Oxidized, hazy lenses scatter light instead of projecting it down the road, and they can cut your usable light output dramatically. You lose seeing distance at exactly the time of year you need it most. Restoring them is quick and inexpensive, and the difference at night is immediate.

Wet leaves are slicker than most drivers expect, especially on a painted line, a metal grate, or a shaded curve. Slow down earlier, brake sooner, and give yourself more room. Good tread and healthy brakes are what turn a surprise into a non-event.

10/21/2026

Trivia Wednesday: in most states, what is the legal minimum tire tread depth? A) 2/32 of an inch B) 4/32 of an inch C) 6/32 of an inch. Drop your guess below.

10/20/2026

The days are getting shorter fast, and more of your driving is happening in the dark. Headlight aim, bulb brightness, and lens clarity all fade gradually enough that you never quite notice it happening. We can check all three and tell you what is worth doing.

10/19/2026

Mechanic Monday tip: clean the inside of your windshield. Not the outside, the inside. Film builds up from dust and interior off-gassing, and it turns every low sun and every oncoming headlight into glare. It is the cheapest visibility upgrade there is, and this is the season you actually notice the difference.
