winter care

Your vehicle relies on its battery, and that is especially true on those cold winter mornings when even the newest battery can struggle to get going. That means that making sure it is in tip-top condition is a must. If your vehicle’s battery is old, or has a habit of failing (even when it’s not…

car ready for the cold

Fall is a season that many of us love. It’s usually not too hot, not too cold and the fall foliage in and around Olathe is usually stunning (and it certainly is this year.) October is also, for many, a month to get things done in and around the house before the winter arrives. Leaves…
