Just how bad are pot holes for my car

It has finally started to warm up here in the valley! With all the melting of the snow and ice all of those pesky pot holes are starting to pop up. Some of them are easily avoided while others we really cannot do much about. Whether you hit every pot hole or not we want to know, how bad are pot holes for my car?

Signs of pot hole damage.New tire next to worn tire

Pot holes can cause a whole heap of damage to multiple parts of your vehicle. Hitting a rather large pot hole can damage the tire pretty badly, especially if it is worn. Tire damage is not the only thing affected by hitting a large pot hole, you must also worry about your vehicle’s wheel alignment. Alignment issues occur over time, meaning you most likely have driven over more than a few pot holes at this point. Your wheel alignment is what keeps your wheels pointing in one direction. Misaligned wheels can cause excess fuel usage, and rapid tire deterioration. Here are a few indicators that you may notice if your wheels are out of alignment:

Your vehicle sways in one direction while driving. This will feel like a maxresdefaultsmall tug on the steering wheel, almost like the vehicle is lightly drifting in one direction.
If you are driving in a straight line and your steering wheel is at an angle or a little off-center it may be time to consider a wheel alignment.
One side of the tire tread is much more worn down than the other. Unevenly worn tires are a blatant indicator of a misaligned vehicle.
Your vehicle shakes and vibrates at higher speeds.

Making sure our customers are safe on the road is one of our main focuses here at Bertera Mitsubishi in West Springfield. If your vehicle is suffering from any of these indicators then you may want to consider a wheel alignment. If you are not sure whether you need a wheel alignment or not schedule a service appointment with one of our experienced and certified technicians today!

Bertera automotive training accidents 101
 
Fender benders are the absolute worst but being prepared for one is the exact opposite! Getting into a car accident is a scary experience, especially for new drivers. That is why it’s important to try your best to remain calm while the authorities handle the situation. Thankfully you can be prepared for the worst! Follow these simple tips to cover yourself in case of an accident.

1) Do not leave the accident.
There are no circumstances in which you should flee the scene of an accident. Should your vehicle create a safety hazard, or if you’re concerned about the safety of yourself or others, move your vehicle off the road or to a safer place. Be sure to drive extremely safe and apply your hazard lights when moving a vehicle that has been in an accident.

2) Make sure there are no injuries.
If injuries are present on anyone involved in the accident, contact an ambulance and make sure that the people involved receive proper medical attention. Unless you are qualified to perform first aid or a medical treatment do not try to do so.

3) Contact the police and follow any instructions they may provide.
When contacting the police try to remain calm and provide as much information as possible. Should they provide instructions make sure you follow them exactly as described as they may help protect you in the long run.

4) Do not admit fault. Do not blame the other driver even it is completely their fault. Avoid arguments at all costs.
Arguments can drastically escalate a situation. The goal after a car accident is to remain calm and to make sure everyone is ok.

5) Collect the name, address, and contact info of any and all witnesses.
When it comes time to report to your insurance company or appear in court you may be asked if there were any witnesses. Should you collect their contact information you won’t have to worry about locating the witnesses after the event.

6) Do not talk to anyone about the accident except for the safety officials (Police, Ambulance, Firefighters, etc.)
It is very important to watch what you say and who you say it to after a car accident. Be sure to only express details about the car accident with safety officials.

7) Do not make a false settlement, or lie to avoid contacting the police or insurance company.
To ensure the car accident is handled appropriately it is extremely important to make sure the police and insurance company know exactly what happened.

8) The police will take your report of the accident, it is essential that you provide as many details as possible to the officer.
While you are still at the scene of the car accident the memories will most likely still be fresh in your head. Be sure to follow any instructions the police officer may provide.

9) Double check to make sure the police report contains the following:
• Name(s) of those involved
• Address(s) of those involved
• Time
• Phone number(s) of those involved
• Make of vehicle(s) involved
• License number(s) of the other driver(s) and all passengers.

_2016 car seat checkpoint Feb

February 7th marked our second official car seat checkpoint of 2016! We had a great time and a whole lot of people interested in having their car seats inspected. We offer this service once a month to anyone interested for free! If you are interested in participating please click here. The cars started rolling in at one o’clock on the dot and everyone was eager to get started. We begin our inspections by pulling the vehicle into our service bay and inspecting the outside of the vehicle. Once the vehicle inspection has been completed we take the age and size of the children before deciding which type of car seats should be installed. For more information on different types of car seats please click here. After the car seat has been selected we map out the best possible place to install the seats. Next, the children’s guardians watch and install the car seat under the watchful eye of our certified instructors. Finally, we make sure the children’s guardians can both install and uninstall the car seat.

If you are interested in volunteering or participating in one of our next checkpoint please click here for more information. To find an inspection station near you please click here

Be sure to check out some of our favorite moments from our last checkpoint below!

Bertera 101 saving money at the pump Even when gas prices reach an all time low we are always looking for a way to save even more. There is a lot more to fuel efficiency than meets the eye. It is not just about how much fuel the vehicle burns. Everything from curb weight to tires can affect the fuel efficiency. Use these tips and tricks to save even more!

fuel gageAvoid the dreaded empty tank – When your vehicle’s fuel tank is close to empty it is actually using more fuel since your vehicle is running less efficiently.
Use all season tires or proper seasonal tires – When there is not snow on the ground be sure to swap to all-season tires as snow tires often weigh more.
Check your tire pressure – Make sure your tires are properly inflated to the correct PSI. Poor tire pressure maintenance can cause your vehicle to work harder than it needs to, in turn using more fuel.
tire pressure guageDon’t idle for too long – If you plan on stopping for more than a few minutes shut your vehicle off. Idling gets the driver 0 miles to the gallon and in bigger vehicles use more fuel while idling than you would expect.
 Tire Rotation – Regular tire rotations will prevent unknown tire ware from ruining your day, and it will help save money on tires and gas!

Phone appGet your vehicle aligned – Make sure your vehicle is aligned properly. Vehicles with alignment issues produce engine drag which in turn uses more fuel.

Gas Price Apps – Before leaving the house check online or with a gas price app to ensure you are getting the best bang for your buck. We recommend using Gas Guru (available on both android and iOS)
