Back on November 30th I did a post about Elf on the Shelf and shared some ideas of how to incorporate this fun tradition at your home. The video clip below is how one family had the Elf on the Shelf visit their home. Their young son's reaction is so adorable! I'm guessing his pjs were starting to get a little small and the Elf on the Shelf had an idea! https://www.facebook.com/Tyla/posts/684703710420037

These pictures show us another example of why car maintenance is so important. We all have the habit of putting off maintenance services because everything else is more important or we are afraid of the potential cost involved. The first picture is of a differential that has moisture in the gear oil. The second picture compares fresh clean gear oil (on the left) and contaminated oil (on the right--from a different vehicle). It is easy to see what happens to gear oil over time. When moisture is added in, you get that muddy color as well. With a little extra time, we can clean it all up and get the vehicle back in service. When was the last time your differential, transmission, and transfer case fluids were serviced? Maintenance really is the key to keeping your vehicle on the road for a long time!  

Who likes to invite Elf on the Shelf into their homes? Our girls missed out on this tradition BUT I think it would be so much fun to do! It does require some time and creativity for the adults. I can't help but think the energy that this activity creates would be amazing! This tradition starts with the Elf arriving in your home sometime Thanksgiving Eve through December 1st.

Fluid checks are so important, especially during these cold months. As you read down the list, you will notice that washer fluid is listed. You may be wondering; how does washer fluid keep my car running properly? Well, it doesn't directly. It is very important for drivers to keep their windshields fairly clear for safety reasons. The added perk is that windshield washer fluid is formulated to get rid of dirt and grime that can accumulate on our windshield during the winter months. We can easily check your fluid levels at your next visit. Just mention it and we will get it done for you
