The Pothole Peril

Avoiding Potholes
Hitting a pothole with your car can cause a great deal of damage to your car, particularly to the tires, rims, suspension and chassis. Because of this, it’s imperative that you take the proper precautions to keep your car out of harm’s way. Obviously, your best course of action is to avoid hitting any potholes; however, that’s not always possible. Keep these seven tips in mind to help minimize vehicle damage:
1. Slow down
The faster you’re driving when you hit a pothole, the worse the damage is likely to be
2. Give some space
Should the car in front of you fail to avoid a pothole, you’ll give yourself the time to react and avoid the same fate if you leave a good deal of space between you and the other driver
3. Prepare for puddles
When you see a puddle in the middle of the road, it’s impossible to know how deep that crater will be, so be very cautious
4. Hold tight
Potholes can cause a violent jolt to your car, so it’s very important that you have a solid grip on the steering wheel. Otherwise, your car can veer into the next lane or you can lose control entirely
5. Don’t brake
You’ll want to avoid braking as you hit the pothole because doing so can actually cause more damage
6. Keep your tires full
Properly inflated tires will give your car added protection from potholes

Signs of Pothole Damage
If you find yourself unable to avoid driving through the potholes that dot your local streets, you’ll want to check for damage as soon as you can. As Triple T Tire points out, signs there may be damage include bulging tires, bent rims, any dents or leaks, which can lead to rusting. Also, if you notice swaying or bouncing, there may be issues with the shock absorption or suspension
.
Tire and Wheel Protection
To help alleviate the uncertainty of repair costs, it may be worth it to purchase additional tire and wheel protection. Here at Triple T Tire and Auto service we can offer you that protection with the purchase of tires and wheels

    Thanks a lot for sharing this excellent info! I am looking forward to seeing more posts by you as soon as possible! I have judged that you do not compromise on quality. Why hire a car accident lawyer when you need compensation for your car accident?

Getting Your Vehicle Ready For Winter

-
This list will help you avoid no-starts, frozen doors and windows, engine freeze-up and accidents. Plus, see our must-have winter car emergency kit. Test Your Car Battery Car batteries have a limited life. Don't wait for yours to fail and leave you stranded. You can check the condition of the battery, starting and entire charging system with a computerized battery tester. Besides testing voltage, a computerized battery tester checks for internal resistance and conductance, giving you a good idea of the battery's overall condition. Plus, the tester also checks the condition of your starter and alternator. Make sure you buy a battery tester that works on conventional lead acid batteries, as well as gel and absorbed glass mat (AGM) styles. That way you can use the same tester on your motorcycle and lawn and garden equipment. Don't want to invest in a tester? Here at Triple T we will check yours for free when we change your oil .  Clean Your Battery Terminals Corrosion buildup ...

Summer's Coming

(Summer's Coming) Getting Ready For The Road  This past weekend my bitter half and I .. Oops I mean my better half and I hit the road for a couple's weekend retreat, It was a small one 500 miles round trip. I put My old trusty steed the gas hog in the garage and decide to rent a small compact economy car . That sucker got 28.9 mpg i think it only held 12 gal though..  Anyway enough of the ramblings of an old man..  When I picked it up the tire light was on and no washer fluid. So that got me thinking . How many times do we hit the road without checking the small stuff? Here are a few things we need to check before starting the great adventure. 1.  CHECK THE TIRES I always check the tires: the air pressure and the tread before going on a trip.  Check the weather, too, because you need your tires to hold up in the rain (summer rainstorms can come out of the blue, but try to be prepared.)   Do it a few days in advance, that way you can either fix your tir...

No Bump No Grind Why Change Struts When They Ride Fine

-
 This is a question we all have heard after recommending replacement of the your  struts and/or shock absorbers on a vehicle. This recommendation is usually made based on a visual inspection of your vehicle's suspension components it could be your shocks , struts or the front steering system. Most Manufacture's recommend that you replace shocks and struts at around 100,000 miles or sooner depending on the driving conditions of your area, coupled with the driving style of the principle driver, will determine how long these parts will perform satisfactorily. During the inspection, we  will be looking for signs of fluid leaks that indicate one reason to recommend replacement. we  will also look at how the tires are wearing. These parts are designed to control the tires, to keep them in contact with the road surface as much as possible. If vehicle tires are free to bounce they are not as effective at gripping the road, so steering, handling, and braking are all affected....
