The holiday season is here, bringing with it the cold temperatures of winter. The staff at A & C Automotive wants to take this time of year to thank all of their loyal customers for trusting them with their auto repair work during the past year. Each mechanic wishes all vehicle owners safe and happy holiday travels!

Holiday travel is one of the most common times for the longer road trips, and with that comes the unfortunate commonality of break downs. Before you go on that road trip, it would be a good time to get a standard inspection performed and any needed auto repair taken care of to make sure that your vehicle is up for the task of the cold weather and miles to come.

Ask your mechanic to check the following:

* Your vehicle's transmission fluid, brake fluid, radiator fluids;
* The tread and air pressure of your tires;
* The efficiency of your braking system, including pads and rotors
* The power steering fluid;
* The suspension system
* Plus, don't forget take care of a needed oil change.

This is a time of year that some unexpected problems could be expected, including stormy or icy weather, break downs or flat tires, accidents, and road closures. Along with the presents in your trunk, make sure you have a roadside emergency kit. To make sure you have the necessities, check with your mechanic for advice as to what is needed. Make room for a blanket or two, plus some small, prepackaged food items and water. It's a good idea to have these items even for your local commute to school or work.

May your holiday season bring you wonderful memories filled with family, friends and joy.
