The compact SUV is brought to life with a DOHC 16-valve inline-4 cylinder engine that pairs with a CVT to give 122 hp of total power output. With a suspension that focuses on comfort, the vehicle offers a plush ride- be it on a busy city road or on an unkempt road on the outskirts.

Its two-tone color option with the black roof has also been expanded to more exterior finishes.

Despite being a compact SUV, the 5-seater Kicks offers enough space for the back row passengers to sit comfortably without feeling cooped up.

Contrast stitching and a customizable cabin space make the vehicle stylish and practical. It also offers ample cargo space that can be increased with its flexible split-folding seats in the second row.

Technology

Featuring a larger 8-inch touch display at the front, the Nissan Kicks now offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as a standard feature on all its trims. The redesigned center console has also made all in-car tech easier to access. It also offers a WiFi Hotspot option that can connect to a maximum of seven devices at once.

Safety

Nissan's Safety Shield 360 platform constantly monitors the vehicle's surroundings for the safest drive possible. Intelligent Around View Monitor, Cruise Control, and Blind Spot Warning are some of its most notable safety features.

Unlike its luxury brand competitors in the EV segment, the 2021 Nissan Leaf has been introduced to the market without much fanfare. This electric vehicle is priced affordably compared to the Chevy Bolt, Hyundai Ioniq, and others in the same range. There are many features which make this a good buy.

Standard Features in the 2021 Nissan Leaf 

Some features in this eco-friendly EV are a strong powertrain transmission and a big touchscreen for the Infotainment console. Consumers have a choice of regular Hatchback, the Plus version of the Hatchback, and the SL Plus.

The Lear is a five-seater, and the S-version offers a 149-mile range on a single charge. The S-Plus version has a range of up to 226 miles (ca. 364 km). It is a stiff competitor for vehicles like the Chevy Bolt, the Ford Mustang Mach-E version, and even Tesla’s Model 3. It has a 7+ rating due to its great features and for being eco-friendly. 

What is New for the 2021 Leaf?

Not much has changed from the 2020 version, except for the hatchback style in the second generation. This conventional look and a comfy cabin with its digital displays are drawing in buyers in droves. It is so well-designed that it does not look like an electric vehicle, except for its “Zero Emissions” sticker.

It offers good acceleration and handles beautifully. The standard version has a 147-hp electric motor with a 40-kWh battery pack. The Leaf Plus models have a 214 horsepower motor and a 62-kWh battery. With the standard vehicle, even though the horsepower is lower, it managed to go 0-60 in under 8 seconds. The e-Pedal features let a driver toggle easily between braking modes. It takes about 6 to 7 hours to charge the battery on the S and S-Plus vehicles.

 There is plenty of room for 5 adults, albeit a slightly tight fit. The interiors are well assembled and are available in black or gray. The cargo area is the draw for buyers – 23 cu. feet in a hatchback version. 

As for its safety and assistance features, the Leaf earned a 5-star rating from the NHTSA and the IIHS. The Leaf’s Safety Shield 360 driver assistance suite is standard in all vehicles. Key features include the automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and blind-spot monitoring.

Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility features are now almost a reality in its vehicles – imagine the car parking itself. Other driver assistant technology features like lane keeping, pedestrian detection and blind-spot monitoring were all part of the development process and now standard features in the current crop of vehicles. The base price of the vehicle starts at $35,000 and goes up depending on the trim and inclusions.

If you want to find out more about the 2021 Nissan Leaf, head to the nearest Nissan dealership. You could also visit Kelly Auto in Emmaus, PA. Set up an appointment for a test drive to see which vehicle appeals to you. Our dealership is located very close to Allentown, Easton, and Philadelphia.

The Mirage delivers 37 miles per gallon in the city and 41 miles per gallon on the highway. These are small differences, but they do show that both vehicles are very economical.

Length Comparison

Even though the two vehicles have different fuel economies and sizes, they both come equipped with the same type of equipment. Both the models are equipped with power windows and door locks as well as side mirrors.

Engine and Transmission

The Mirage, as well as the G4, is powered by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine that is capable of churning out 78 horsepower. The engines on both models are mated with a 5-speed manual transmission, or they can be mated with a CVT auto transmission.

Both the 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage and the 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 have received fresh styling. Their front fascia is very similar and includes bumpers that are color-coded. In addition, they both have LED headlights and running lights that are available on higher trims. The fascia at the back is very modern, thanks to the combination of LED taillights and sleek spoilers. Overall, both models are sporty and attractive.

Inside the cabin of both the 2021 Mirage and 2021 G4, you will notice that both have the same type of equipment. The new models boast upgraded infotainment systems and this includes a seven-inch touchscreen with Android Auto as well as Apple CarPlay.

Hatchbacks are nifty little vehicles that take less space than a sedan without losing the core aspects of the car. They are shorter because they give up on the boot space to make the car more city-friendly.

Hatchbacks are a great option for anyone who lives in the city or in an area where space is an issue. Whether it be parking or being on the road, a hatchback will take up less space than a sedan but give you the same performance. Americans now prefer SUVs and hatchbacks over the longer sedans due to the modern sensibilities of the two. 

Easier to park and maneuver, a hatchback is the perfect option for people who do not want a long car. It makes your life easier and all you have to do is compromise on the cargo capacity of the car. 

Some of the best hatchbacks available in the market today are -

2021 Honda Civic 

Available as either a sedan or hatchback, the Civic is one of the most popular Honda cars to date. Thanks to its great legacy, the hatchback option today is one of the best cars available in the market.

The 2021 Honda Civic gets a 2-liter four-cylinder engine as standard, which has 152hp to its name. You can always upgrade it to a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that has 180hp. 

The hatchback variant has more interior space and more storage cubbies than its sedan counterpart. A host of new driver assistance features like lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control have also been added. Surprisingly infotainment options like Apple Carplay and Android Auto are available as standard only above the LX trim.

2021 Kia Rio 

The sporty and chic-looking hatchback by Kia is one of the best cars in the market period. With the modern aesthetics and tech-laden interior, the 2021 Kia Rio 5-door is the perfect car for people looking for a modern hatchback. 

The four-cylinder engine combined with a CVT ensures a smooth pickup and gear changes. The ride quality is great and the car responds well to driver inputs. It also absorbs shocks well enough to ensure a hassle-free experience inside. 

The Sirius XM is standard with the touchscreen infotainment system. And the GUI is intuitive and needs no menu diving. 

2021 Kia Soul

As one of the starter models in the lineup, the 2021 Kia Soul does exactly what its name suggests. A fun and zesty ride, the Kia Soul puts the joy back into car rides in its segment. 

You can choose to have either a 2 liter 4-cylinder engine or a turbocharged one. Available with either manual or automatic transmission, the Soul is a versatile car with a great set of features. The interiors are plush and the hard plastics do not feel cheap at all.

2021 Volkswagen Golf

One of the original hatchbacks of our time, the 2021 Volkswagen Golf is still going strong. Hard to beat, the Golf is an all-time great car that fits everyone’s needs perfectly. A gusty engine and great ride quality have made this German car a mainstay in the hatchback market.

The interiors are plain and functional and do a good job of providing comfort. Its dashboard is clutter-free and easy to navigate around. The car itself has a great balance of performance and comfort, which people have come to love over the years.

We have a great range of hatchbacks at Kelly Auto in Emmaus, PA.

List of Vehicles for 2021

If you want to find out about the new electric and hybrid vehicles for 2021, here is a look at some, in no particular order.

• The 2021 Hyundai Kona is a fun vehicle to buy. What makes it interesting? Its gas engine has been replaced with a powerful electric motor and a special battery. It offers great mileage – 258 miles and plenty of new features like updated wheels and grill. The 2021 Chevy Bolt is comparable in functionality, but the Kona’s price and warranty make it the best choice in this segment.
  
  

• The 2021 Chevy Bolt electric vehicle doesn’t have the same looks as the Hyundai or Tesla, but it is roomy. Its smooth ride and built-in standard features make it appealing to a wider range of consumers. It offers a driving range of 259 miles and a single charge lets drivers drive an additional 100 miles. (30 min. charge).
  
  

• The 2021 Honda Insight offers top-of-the-line fuel economy and is a great hybrid vehicle. It has many of the same features as the Honda Civic and is roomy. With a built-in hybrid and gas engine, driving is seamless but is occasionally a bit noisy.
  
  

• If you are a fan of American-made vehicles, then check out the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles, including Intelligent Cruise Control, voice-activated navigation, and much more. It only shares a name with its namesake, the Mustang, but it is completely different. The Mach-E has a driving range of 300+ miles and can seat 5 passengers comfortably. Cutting edge storage and entertainment options are generating a lot of interest with Ford fans, and Ford expects this to be an in-demand vehicle.

• Yet another vehicle generating a lot of interest and excitement is the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. This minivan has many thoughtfully designed features making it a popular choice with consumers. Choose between a regular vehicle or PHEV for similar fuel efficiency. If you want to haul cargo, fold down both the 2nd and 3rd rows for a lot of room. 

• Electric and hybrid vehicles are available in the luxury segment as well. Whether it is the 2021 Audi e-Tron or the Volvo XC90, expect the mileage to exceed 200+ miles. Drivers can still expect the same comfort and serene interiors.

Jeep has been known for making army-styled vehicles that are tough and up for everything thrown at them. Whether it be rough terrain or smooth city roads, a Jeep has a presence that will match the circumstance no matter what.

The 2021 Jeep Gladiator keeps this tradition alive and is the only vehicle after the 90s to have a cargo bed in the Jeep lineup. This vehicle can tow more than the Wrangler any day. The highly customizable Jeep Gladiator is for the off-road warriors that want a car to double as a daily driver too.

The longer wheelbase and better towing prowess make it a great option for campers and heavy haulers alike. Its ride quality is smooth and it comes with a standard shift transmission for gear changing duties. 

The V6 handles all the propulsion duties with angst and the diesel option pushes the car to its limit. The car is long and needs constant input when cruising on highways. 

For 2021, there have been a host of changes and a few new trims have been added too.

Willys

This trim is inspired by the Sport S trim (mentioned later) and comes with mud terrain tires that are 17-inch in radius. A slip differential and rock rails can also be found.

It will get the technology and convenience package as standard which has a 7-inch screen, Apple Carplay, and Android Auto. The infotainment setup is very robust too and there is a universal garage door opener too.

80th Anniversary Model

Jeep has been in the automotive market, and they have launched a limited edition variant of many of their cars to celebrate. Eight decades of car making has given this variant 18-inch tires, an 8.4-inch infotainment system, and body fenders. Gray accents, remote start, Berber floor mats, and model-specific badges also add to the charm of the truck. 

High Altitude

This is the luxury-specific trim that leaves nothing to be desired. A body-color hardtop, 20-inch wheels, full LED exterior lighting, and leather-lined seats convey luxury aspects very well.  

Nappa leather upholstery and 8-inch infotainment can be found inside which only adds to the experience. This is the most on-road-focused of all the trims and is great for anyone that does not want their Jeep to be an off-road beast only. 

Sport 

As the name suggests, the Sport and Sport S are peppier and fun versions of the brawny car. There is a five-inch infotainment display and power windows. These are the base models of the pickup truck but still are very feature-rich.

Overland

The black door handles and the chrome accent grilles make this stand out from the rest of the lineup. The Overland also gets 2 front tow hooks and 1 rear hook in the back. This makes it the perfect compact pickup truck. 

Mojave 

Designated for desert use, the Mojave is the trim for you if you want to take the truck to arid lands. The reinforced frame and cast iron steel give it a posh mad max look. The front was lifted by 1-inch to reduce the impact of sand at higher speeds. 

Rubicon 

Two Dana Axles and front and rear lockers make this the most capable truck for hauling cargo. The 240 amp alternator and the 30-inch water-treading-ability make this a great option for people who live in hilly areas or near water bodies. 

The 2021 Jeep Lineup is great for people looking to get a pickup truck but the usual suspects and are not much to their liking. This Jeep pickup truck is a lean and mean machine that can help you tow and haul without breaking a sweat.

If you want to test drive the truck or have any more questions, come on down to Kelly Auto in Emmaus, PA. We are just a short drive from Allentown, Easton, and Philadelphia.

We will be more than happy to answer your questions and give you a great deal too.

Buick has been known to make big and reliable cars and their SUV lineup is no exception. Mean-looking SUVs with modern sensibilities are what Buick has to offer. It has worked well for them in the past and 2021 should not be any different.

The three SUVs in the lineup called the Envision, Encore, and Enclave can cause a bit of confusion to people not familiar with the brand. All of them are at different price points and cater to different audiences. The cars themselves are very feature-laden and have all the tech one can desire. The main difference is the engine and the interiors between them.

Interior

Depending on the number of people that you plan on having in your car, you can go choose from the three different options. The Encore is in the subcompact category, while the Envision is labeled as compact. Both can house 5 people in the car, while the Enclave can easily fit 7. The three-row Enclave is excellent for people with bigger families that need the extra seats. 

As far as legroom is concerned, the Enclave has the largest cabin space, so it has the most legroom too. The legroom in the first row is similar for the three SUVs but in the second row, the Enclave has 3 inches more than the Encore. For anyone who has traveled in cramped cars, they know the value of three more inches. 

As far as cargo space is concerned, the Enclave has more than double the cargo space when seats are folded of that of the other two. The Enclave has 97.6 cubic feet of space available to that of 48.4 and 57.3 cubic feet in the Encore and Envision. The Enclave also has a hands-free liftgate that comes in handy more often than not.

Performance 

Whether you are fuel-conscious or need a thrilling ride, there is a car available for you in the 2021 Buick lineup. The 2021 Buick Encore shall appeal to people who are looking to save on fuel costs, but for the adventurous types, the Enclave is the one to go for.

Winter is a wonderful time, but it is hard on a vehicle. Cold weather and snow pose challenges to a vehicle in the form of salt and snow. How do you care for your vehicle in such conditions?

Tips on avoiding winter vehicle damage

If washing your vehicle regularly in the winter sounds crazy, then here is why it is important. Every state uses road salt to make streets navigable. Salt is very corrosive and damages paint and corrodes the undercarriage too. Washing prevents salt damage to every part of your investment.

Tire care is essential during winter. Get winter tires on your vehicle so that you have good traction on icy roads. Driving slowly and avoiding areas with lots of snow is important. Snow damage to your exhaust system and the undercarriage means expensive repairs.

Keep essential items like jumper cables, extra clothing, a flashlight, and extra batteries in the cat. An ice scraper is also essential as it will prevent cracked windscreens. You should scrape ice off the roof of the vehicles so there is no flying ice. Get immediate problems caused by ice damage fixed at your local Kelly Automotive dealer in Emmaus PA.

Other ways to prepare for winter driving

• Check your windshield wipers and replace them. New wipers will make it easy to tackle driving sleet and ice while driving.
• Get your vehicle serviced for winter – your engine oil and coolant levels should be at optimum levels.
• Always warm up the vehicle before driving. Condensation in crevices can cause issues if the engine and other parts are not warm enough.
• Consider getting an extra coat of wax on the vehicle and the chassis. This will repel dirt and salt from corroding paint and the body.
• If you don’t have a garage, use a cover. This will prevent snow from collecting on your vehicle and also protect it from the deicing trucks. Vehicle covers also reduce the amount of frost on the front and rear windshields,

For any vehicle-related care issues, visit your closest Kelly Auto in Lehigh Valley or anywhere in Pennsylvania. Our Kelly Automotive experts also serve the Allentown, Easton, and Philadelphia areas.

Original Equipment Manufacturer parts or OEM car parts are genuine and made by your auto manufacturer.

The towing capacity of a vehicle measures how much a truck can pull. The GVWR or the gross vehicle weight rating has to be subtracted from the vehicle’s curb weight to ascertain its maximum towing capacity.

So, what is curb weight? It is the maximum truck, which the truck has been designed to carry. In other words, it is the weight of the truck on its own when its tank is full of fuel and other essential fluids.

On the other hand, GVWR refers to the truck’s maximum allowable weight when it is full of passengers, trailer hitch component, fuel, and cargo. Usually, one will come across the curb weight near the tag of the VIN number displayed inside the truck. Or, it can be also seen on the label displayed inside the side door of the driver.

2021 GMC Canyon Towing Capacity

Based on the powertrain one selects, the GMC Canyon for the model year 2021 is equipped with a maximum towing capacity in the range of 3,500 pounds and 7,700 pounds.

Payload Capacity 

How much a truck can carry is measured by the payload capacity. To arrive at the maximum payload capacity of a truck, curb weight is subtracted from the vehicle’s GVWR. Based on the powertrain selected, the latest GMC Canyon provides a maximum payload capacity between 1,347 pounds and 1,570 pounds.

Towing Assist Technology

The 2021 GMC Canyon takes advantage of its innovative towing technologies, which help in supporting when one is hauling. There is an integrated trailer brake controller that comes in handy to control the trailer brakes better. A diesel exhaust brake system is also made available to bring down the amount of braking needed actually. You will have more confidence while towing in hilly areas.

Engine Models

Its Elevation and Elevation Standard trims feature the 2.5-liter I4 gas engine. The V6 3.6-liter engine is available as standard on Denali and AT4 trims. Except for its base Elevation Standard trim, all other trims offer the 2.8-liter turbo diesel later in 2021.

Are you thinking about purchasing a new car from a Kelly dealership? Buying a new vehicle is the second biggest purchase (after a home) you will make in your lifetime. It’s very easy to feel excited, but it’s also necessary to make a sound decision. To select the best vehicle for you and your family, check out different models before making a final decision. Also, ask yourself the following 5 questions before buying a new car:

1. Do You Need A New Vehicle?

Many people get emotionally caught up in the euphoria of purchasing a car. This often leads to poor decision-making. A tell-tale sign is if you find yourself rearranging your finances or coming up with justifications to get this car. Relax, the car will be there tomorrow. You need to assess your needs because a vehicle purchase is a major financial commitment.

2. Are You Able To Afford It?

As you are already aware, buying a vehicle requires a considerable amount of money. In addition to the car price, you will have to purchase or cover other expenses such as:

• Repair costs
• Preventative Maintenance costs
• Car insurance
• Car payments
• Fuel

By having a clear picture of the expenses, you’ll know what to expect.

3. What Car Would You Buy?

There is a myriad of vehicle models out there, including makes and manufacturers, features, etc. First, assess your driving needs and tastes. Then consider the fuel and insurance costs. What are you using the car for? Head over to Kelly Automotive to look at the options you have at your disposal. 

4. Are You Buying A New Or Used Vehicle?

There are clear advantages to both. With a new car, you’re getting a factory warranty and peace of mind that you’re its first owner. However, new cars are expensive to purchase and depreciate as soon as you drive it off the lot. Used cars are more affordable, helping you save money. However, you won’t know whether the car has major issues until you’ve driven it for some time. You might end up paying a lot for the expenses. This problem can be avoided if you purchase directly from a dealership.

5. How Many People Will Fit Into Your New Car?

A sports car is not suitable for a young family, nor is a spacious SUV much use for a retired, elderly couple. Think about how many people will ride with you. Is there room for everyone?

If you would like to know more about the features of a particular model, or if you would like to test drive the vehicle, head over to our Kelly Automotive Dealership near Emmaus, Allentown, and Easton today.

Durango SXT is the new member of the Doge Family that has taken the mid-SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) market by storm. Its extremely big proportionate and rugged body makes it a stand-out model.

Power
The 2020 Dodge Durango SXT comes with a 3.6 l V6 engine that provides a torque of 260 lb. ft. and a horsepower of 293 hp. If you go for the 5.7-liter model or the 6.4 l V8 engine model, you will be able to enjoy a torque of 390 lb. ft. and 470 lb. ft. respectively. Also, the former engine produces a horsepower of 360 hp while the latter offers a horsepower of 475 hp. The towing capacity of SXT is 6,200 pounds.

Exterior

When it comes to mid-SUV cars, Dodge Durango models among the best in the market. The long wheelbase of 119.8 inches of the car is more than even some full-size SUVs.

Space

The SUV can accommodate five people. There are also three-row models available with captain chairs. But, by paying a little more money, you can add a third row and up the trim level. Even with 8 seats, there will be plenty of cargo space in the truck along with adequate head and leg space.

Interiors

Maintaining your car is an important way of ensuring that its value doesn't depreciate too radically. From the moment you drive out of the showroom with your new car, you can expect its initial value to depreciate.

Most cars are sold five years after purchase. Throughout those five years, its value tends to depreciate a little every night. To make sure that the rate of depreciation is still manageable during resale, you'll need to take care of your car regularly.

How to Maintain Your Car's Resale Value

There are four key areas where you can control the depreciation rate. If you maintain your car in these four areas, you'll be able to sell it later at a good price. These include:

1. Regular Maintenance Schedules

You can find information on the kind of maintenance schedule you should follow for your vehicle in the Owner's Manual. Make regular appointments and have the car inspected and maintained regularly. It would also be a good idea to keep all the receipts with you to show the next owner.

2. Clean Regularly

Getting your vehicle cleaned regularly from a place like Kelly Auto can also help you maintain your car's value. You need to ensure that the car is not just cleaned, but also waxed and polished. The interiors should be vacuumed, the plastic areas should be polished, and the car should look clean. The same treatment should be given to the car's exteriors, with special attention being given to the wheels.

3. Don't Personalize

Personalizing your car to an extent is okay, but too many upgrades are never a good thing. The next owner may not have the same interests, so an expensive audio system upgrade may not be something you can recoup financially. As long as you're aware of your upgrades and limit them, especially exterior upgrades, your car's value shouldn't depreciate too much.

4. Car Documentation

All the car's documents should be maintained right from the beginning. These should also be updated and kept safely. 



Maintain your car's value by getting it serviced from our Kelly Auto dealership today. If you live in Emmaus, Allentown or Easton, then visit Kelly Auto Service today!

Nissan Safety Shield 360

Car air conditioning systems are often taken for granted until a problem crops up and the system stops functioning.

One of the best ways to ensure that your AC is at its efficient best is to visit Kelly auto service. Our expert technicians look for common issues during every maintenance visit and fix these AC problems. You will have your AC system working as good as new within a short time.

There are some common problems that can prevent your AC from generating cool air within the car.

1. An Oily Residue Could Indicate a Refrigerant Leak

If you notice an oily presence around the hose connections of your AC, then a refrigerant leak is the most possible reason. Such a leak can occur at any spot of the AC unit. The hose connections are a typical spot.

A sealant designed specifically for car AC units is the best solution for fixing refrigerant leaks. You can do it yourself or a technician at Kelly can help you.

2. Inadequate Cold Air can be Due to Issues with AC Belts and Hoses

Cold air inside the car may sometimes be inadequate. You may feel that the airflow is not up to your AC’s original capacity. This could indicate a problem with the system’s belts and hoses.

AC hoses and belts are crucial to maintaining proper airflow within the vehicle. Issues such as leaks, blockage, and loosened parts, can prevent efficient airflow from AC system vents.

3. Excess Hot Air Inside the Car May be Due to Blown Fuses

If you feel hot air circulating inside the car despite the AC system functioning, then a blown ventilation fuse could be the problem. When the ventilation fuse blows out, it prevents the blower motor of the AC system from functioning. The blower motor is the component that sends cold air from the vents into the vehicle.

4. Small Amounts of Cold Air from Vents Could Mean Clogged Air Filters

Cold air enters your car in two ways – through recirculated air within the cabin, and through vents. A blockage in the air filter can reduce the amount of cold air, or totally prevent it from blowing through the vents.

5. Bad AC Smell can Mean Bacteria, Leakage, or Filter Problem

Sometimes a foul, weird, or a sweet smell can fill the car. Dirty air filters, growth of mold or bacteria, or leakage of gas or antifreeze, are some common reasons.

Experts at Kelly auto service can identify the root cause and fix it efficiently. Visit our Vehicle Service Department in Emmaus or schedule an appointment online.

All vehicles in Allentown require regular maintenance in order to function healthily. A typical maintenance service will include an oil change, hose and belt inspection, fluid flush, etc. With time, these will wear out and require a replacement part. To ensure your vehicle provides efficient and optimal performance, we recommend using OEM parts. OEM stands for an original equipment manufacturer. These are original pieces that replicate parts from the assembly line. Wonder why it’s better to purchase OEM in Emmaus and not aftermarket parts?

Here's Why

1. Comply With Warranty

If your vehicle is covered by a warranty, it likely stipulates that you can only install OEM parts during repair or maintenance services. Aftermarket parts may cause damage to the engine.

2. Made Using Quality Materials

Without a doubt, OEM parts have superior quality compared to their aftermarket counterparts. This is because OEM parts undergo rigorous industry and manufacturer testing before they’re qualified for use. Aftermarket parts are not built with any standards in mind. They’re often made using poor quality materials that will not last very long. With original parts, the fit and durability are guaranteed.

3. OEM Parts Are Easy To Replace

Using OEM parts gives you peace of mind. You know for sure that the parts are going to fit properly. You don’t get this guarantee with aftermarket parts. In fact, most are designed to fit multiple vehicle models. As a result, you often get ill-fitting components that will affect the functioning and durability of the vehicle. Avoid struggling with poor quality aftermarket accessories and parts. Opt for original, OEM parts that are made specifically to your vehicle.

4. Give You Access To Support.

When you purchase OEM parts from a manufacturer, you get access to an entire engineering and technical team. They can help answer all your queries and clear any doubts.

By installing OEM parts, you’re maintaining your vehicle and its warranty. OEM parts are built-to-last and ensure your vehicle will work well. For professional repairs that use high-quality OEM parts in Easton, visit your nearest auto dealership.

Dodge Secures The First Place And Makes History

In a first of its kind, the automobile manufacturing company, Dodge, secured the first place (with a tie for this top position shared with Kia, a Korean automobile manufacturer) in the J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study. In 34 years since the J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study was launched, never has an American brand been able to secure the top ranking. However, Dodge has changed this and become the first domestic brand to be able to do so.

In 2020, a total of 31 car models were accessed and ranked in J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study. The third place was secured by RAM and the fourth place by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The 1st position is a seven-step leap for Dodge, whereas RAM had ranked 21st last year. This skyrocketing difference clearly reflects on how far these American automobile companies have come. However, the same cannot be said for Japanese automobile manufacturers. Other than Mitsubishi, Lexus, and Nissan, no other Japanese automobile manufacturer was able to rank above average.

Dodge Is Relentlessly Focused On Improving Customer Experience

This is the 6th consecutive year that Kia has ranked first in the J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study. Even though Dodge wasn’t able to secure the first place alone, they still did a pretty good job.

Poor wheel alignment doesn’t mean that the wheels of your car haven’t been put in place properly or are becoming loose. Wheel alignment issue, a term that is very misleading, actually refers to when the suspension of your car is in trouble. When the suspension of your car is disturbed due to any reason, your wheels then sit at improper angles, which can cause a lot of issues while driving. 

There are several wheel alignment issues that can occur - the car drifting on one side, steering wheel vibrating or getting stuck, steering wheel not returning to its original position easily after making a turn, squeaky noises heard inside the cabin of the car, and more. Severe cases of wheel alignment can also result in accidents. 

This is why you must be able to identify if your car is facing a wheel alignment issue. However, to be able to do so, you should know the causes of poor wheel alignment. If you know what could have caused it, fixing the issue becomes very easy. 

Top 3 Causes of Wheel Alignment Issues

1. Sudden Heavy Impact

One reason why this happens is if the car undergoes heavy jarring or a sudden impact. Examples of such instances include going over a big pothole without slowing down, going over a pothole without noticing it, not slowing down on speed bumpers, bumping into a roadside curb, or getting into an accident.

2. Height Modification

If you have recently gotten the height of your vehicle changed and are facing the above-mentioned problems, you need to take your car to the mechanic right away. A car’s suspension system is designed to work at a particular height only. If you alter the vehicle’s height, you’ll also need to alter the suspension system so that it works harmoniously with the height modifications made to the car.

3. Wear And Tear

This usually happens when you have been using your car for several years now. The suspension springs become worn out and either need oiling or replacement. This issue is further aggravated if you use your car for heavy-duty purposes but do not get it serviced by the mechanic regularly and timely.

For solutions to your wheel alignment issues, feel free to contact our Kelly Auto dealership, located near Emmaus, Easton, and Allentown.

Taking and passing your driving test is an important rite of passage that will give you legal access to one of the most comfortable ways of commuting. But if you want to pass your drivers' test the first time you take it, then there are a few things you need to be aware of.

What Should You Do To Make Sure That You Ace Your Drivers' Test?

Also known as a 'Road Test' or a 'Behind-the-Wheel Test', your Drivers' License Test can be aced easily, if you know what you are doing. Your examiner will test how well you drive your car, whether you can follow instructions on the road by reading signs and signals, and whether you are a responsible driver or not. You will need to know and understand Teen Driving Safety Tips and Precautions if you want to get your Driver’s License.

To improve your chances of passing your Driver’s License Test, follow these tips:

1. Practice In All Weather Conditions
   It isn't enough to just know how to drive a car, as cars can react differently to different weather conditions. The rain or the snow makes it more difficult to drive, and since you have no way of knowing what kind of weather you will have to experience during your exam, the more often you practice driving, the better you will be at it.
   
   
2. Practice In The Car You Will Take The Test In
   This helps you to familiarise yourself with the car before your test date. Not all cars feel the same when you drive it, and you want to make sure that you feel as comfortable as possible. If you don't own a car yet, then consider visiting a dealership in Allentown, or purchasing used cars Easton, PA. 
   
   
3. Parking Needs To Be Practiced Too
   Parking properly can sometimes be harder than it looks. Parking lots are a great way to both practice driving, as well as parking, and they are usually empty on the weekends. This makes them great practice locations.
   
   
4. Familiarise Yourself With Your Test Location
   Once you have booked your driving test, you should learn as much as you can about the location where you will be taking the test. Watch out for signals, potential hazards, lanes, and anything else you think you may be tested for in the area.
   
   
5. Use Your Car's Tech
   Modern technology makes driving easier. They come with features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that make driving better, so getting to know how these features work can help you ace your test. You can pick your choice of vehicle from used cars Kelly, Emmaus, and use the car to practice driving within an affordable price range.

Used cars from Kelly Auto come with Kelly Risk-Free, and you don't have to worry about the car's performance while you drive it using your Learner's Permit. Having a driving buddy who points out your errors is another great way to improve.

If you live in Emmaus, Easton or Allentown, then visit the Kelly Auto car dealership to purchase a new or used car so that you can practice driving and get your license!

Servicing your vehicle is an important part of car maintenance. If you don't service your car regularly, not only will you run up expensive long term costs in repairs to parts and accessories, you could also end up putting yourself and your passengers in danger in case your car doesn't perform properly while you are on the road.

Your car may appear to be working fine on the outside, but if your Owner's Manual has told you that your time to get the car serviced, or if you have set up a system in your Information Display to inform you when your car needs to be serviced and you ignore it when it warns you, you could be in trouble if you get unlucky on the road. If your car is older, however, you will need to keep track of service schedules. You can also visit any dealerships in Allentown or Emmaus to upgrade your vehicle.

Why Do You Need To Get Your Car Serviced And When?

Certain parts of your car, such as the engine oil or the brake fluid, needs to be changed on a regular basis so that they work properly. The engine oil, for example, is combined with cleaning agents that keep the internal parts of the car operating well. However, it also causes deposits of carbon that can negatively affect the engine's internal combustion.

Similarly, the brake fluid also deteriorates with time since it has the ability to take in moisture that is found in the atmosphere. If you are looking to upgrade any used cars Easton, PA, then visit a used car dealership like Kelly used cars Emmaus to get your car serviced.

There are four kinds of car maintenance you can perform:

1. Regular Car Maintenance: The service technician changes the oil and filter of your car.
2. Minor Service: Should be performed every six months or 6000 miles, whichever comes sooner.
3. Major Service: Should be performed every twelve months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes sooner.
4. Manufacturer Service: As per the recommendation of the manufacturer.

Every car, whether they be a Mitsubishi, a Jeep, a Nissan, a Chrysler, or a GMC, will have different internal processes, which the manufacturer will know best. This is where the Owner's Manual and the recommended service periods of each make and model come into play.

So, if you drive a Dodge, or a Ram or a Buick, they may have different recommendations from the manufacturer on when it should be serviced. If you are looking for cars for sale Allentown, Easton, Allentown, or Emmaus, then visit a dealership like Kelly Auto for used cars, new cars, and more today!

Summer heat and dust can add to your car’s woes carried forward from the winter. The entire pressure can lead to reduced performance and even vehicle breakdown.

Whether you are using a standard FWD, 4WD, or an AWD, routine vehicle maintenance is essential to have your car in a perfect condition for the summer.

A regular vehicle service reduces the chances of mechanical failure while keeping you safe on the wheels. For a reliable summer service, you can always visit our Kelly Auto authorized service center near Allentown, Easton, and Emmaus.

Ways to maintain your vehicle in top condition this summer:

Rotate Car Tires

Tire rotations are important to ensure even wearing. A recommended duration for tire rotations is for every 5, 000 miles. Also, check your car tires for tread wear, cuts, and bulges.

Under-inflated or overinflated tires can interfere with vehicle safety and performance as they reduce surface grip. Therefore, check tire pressure and ensure that the reading is always at the manual-recommended level. For an accurate reading, check the pressure when the tires are cool and the vehicle has been at rest for a while.

Check for Engine Problems

An efficient engine system is important to achieve fuel economy. If you are facing problems such as dry starts, stalling, or reduced performance, then get your car to a reliable service center immediately for an expert checkup.

Left ignored, summer’s dusty conditions can worsen your car’s problems.

Check your car’s filters, including air and fuel filters. Replace them if they are damaged. Summer dust and debris can worsen filter condition if they are already damaged. Replace filters with new ones for greater efficiency.

Changing your car’s engine oil is crucial to maintain the health and longevity of your engine system. An oil change is usually recommended for every 3, 000 miles. Clean oil keeps your engine system well-lubricated and protects engine components from premature wear and tear.

Test the Brakes

If you are experiencing a longer stopping distance, or are hearing unusual noises and vibrations, then your brake system may be the culprit. An expert technician checks the entire system, including brake rotors, pads, fluids, and drums, to locate the source of problems.

Do not ignore even minor brake aberrations. Get them examined and rectified immediately.

Ensure that your Car’s Air Conditioning is Working Well

Switch on your car’s AC and take a drive. If you feel the interiors are not cool enough, then there could be a problem with your AC. Get the AC system examined immediately and replace defective parts if necessary.

Plan ahead this summer and get your car ready for the season!

The Nissan LEAF is Nissan's entry into the eco-friendly car market. An environment-friendly green car, the Nissan LEAF is a hatchback that delivers powerful performance and smooth navigation around the city. If you live in Emmaus, Allentown or Easton, then a Nissan LEAF could be just the electric vehicle you were looking for, if you want an efficient electric vehicle that can give you longevity and endurance within an affordable price range. 

Why drive a Nissan LEAF?

Electric vehicles are growing in popularity among people who prefer cleaner vehicles that work to conserve the environment. However, the Nissan LEAF provides more than just that - it is a powerful vehicle that has been upgraded to match the standards and needs of all car consumers today. 

When you invest in a Nissan LEAF, you can experience: 

• Zero-emissions for a cleaner environment: The zero-emissions coming from the Nissan LEAF can be attributed to the car's use of electric-powered lithium-ion batteries mounted on the floor of your car - but this also gives you an advantage when it comes to paying for gas. Over time, a driver can run up huge costs when it comes to fuel efficiency, and the more mileage a fuel-based car has, the less fuel-efficient it becomes. This doesn't apply to a Nissan LEAF, where you simply have to plug in your car to its electric charging port in order to power up your car. 
• Accelerate immediately: Torque is manufactured at 0 RPM in the Nissan LEAF, and this gives your car immediate power when you accelerate. The electric vehicle removes any lag you would typically experience as your vehicle produces torque, and gives you instant results. 
• No fuel engines: The removal of fossil fuel engines, which use the mechanism of internal combustion to generate power within the car with a much quieter electric-based one, results in quieter yet smoother driving experience. The Nissan LEAF makes minimum noise on the road and is practically silent at low speeds. 
• Nissan's battery leasing policy: When you invest in a Nissan LEAF, the electric car's battery is leased to you. Not only does this reduce costs during purchase, it also makes Nissan responsible for the care and recycling of the vehicle's battery. 

There are several other advantages to buying a Nissan LEAF. To learn more about this powerful electric vehicle, visit the Kelly Auto car dealership near Emmaus, Easton, and Allentown today!

Tire rotations involve the periodic exchange of placement of the tires in your car. By rotating the tires in the car, you promote a balanced and even wear and tear of the car's tires, which ultimately end up extending the tire's life.

The pattern of the rotation depends on what kind of car you own and how it is used. You can ascertain for yourself what kind of tire rotation your car needs by finding out what the drivetrain of your car is. A vehicle that utilizes a front-wheel-drive makes more use of the front wheels of the cars than the rear wheels, while a vehicle with a rear-wheel-drive does the opposite. By exchanging the front wheels with the back wheels, a Car Service Dealer will be able to promote an even wear and tear between the tires.

What Is the Importance of a Tire Rotation?

All tires will eventually wear out - however, whether the tires in your car wear out sooner or later is entirely dependent on how well your car is maintained. One important part of this car maintenance involves tire rotations.

You should ideally get the tires of your vehicle rotated every time you reach a mileage between 5000-7500 miles. You could also get your tires checked whenever you go to get your car serviced at any dealer in Emmaus, Allentown or Easton. Alternatively, you could make use of the various tire rotation services many car servicing dealers provide, and keep following the schedule to maintain the tires in your car.

The main reasons behind why you should get the tires in your car rotated are:

• Extend the life of your tires and not have to purchase replacement tires more frequently.
• Ensure that the brake pads in your vehicle are working fine.
• Promote even wear and tear of your vehicle's tires, which leads to a balanced and smooth driving experience.
• Ensure that your rides in the vehicle are safe and without accidents.
• Lower the occurrence of problems with air pressure in the tires, sudden flats, and other road safety issues.
• Extend tire mileage and ensure that your tire mileage warranties are effective.

If you live in Emmaus, Easton or Allentown, and would either like to learn more about tire rotations or book into a Tire Rotation Scheduled Servicing, visit the Kelly Auto dealership today!

Vehicular oils are classified into two main types - synthetic and conventional. While conventional oils are made using refined crude oil, synthetic oils are processed and made artificially by breaking down the chemical compounds into petroleum molecules.

Synthetic oils are further classified as fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, or blended. They are considered more efficient for increasing the performance of the engine basis of stability, sludge/deposit formation, pump-ability, and viscosity.

Advantages of Synthetic Oil

Synthetic oils are highly favored for their high viscosity index in comparison to conventional oils. Whenever the engine temperature changes, high viscosity helps the engine get enough lubrication, which is found in the base oil used to form the synthetic oil. Synthetic oils are processed using only the kinds of base oils, which also prevents sludge build-up, promotes oil circulation, manages pump-ability of the engine, and enhances lubrication.

Since the synthetic oils undergo processing and are broken down further to form petroleum molecules of equal sizes, the stability produced by the compounds is significantly high. These oils are also prepared to protect the engine from gradual wear and tear. In different environments, synthetic oils are processed to act as a protective shield for the engine against temperature changes.

Usage of synthetic oils allows longer intervals for an oil change in a vehicle, leading to increased savings. Hence, some synthetic oils are comparably high in price, owing to the advantages they offer.

Synthetic Oils are Worth Investing

Often, manufacturers also refer to the usage of conventional oils depending upon the engine components and classification; and they also contribute to keeping the engine healthy. However, the advantages offered by synthetic oil can prove beneficial in multiple ways starting from cost, consistency, performance, and fuel efficiency. Thus, for new-age vehicular engines, synthetic oils are certainly the right way ahead.

Visit the Kelly Auto dealership and try the best varieties of synthetic oil for all types of vehicular models at a location near you in Emmaus, Easton, Allentown. Also, if you are interested to explore more about how types of synthetic oils work, then visit our Kelly Auto dealership to get in touch with an expert. 

Automobiles in the market today come with facilities such as 2WD or 4WD. But what do these terms stand for, and how exactly are the two different from each other? We’ll be answering these questions for your benefit so that you know what kind of car you deserve when you visit our Kelly Car showroom near Emmaus, Easton, and Allentown.

2WD – What it is all about?

2WD or two-wheel-drive is present in models that are powered by two wheels, either to the front or the rear. It is usually a characteristic of smaller vehicles. Further, 2WD variants can either be FWD, i.e., front-wheel-drive, or RWD, i.e., rear-wheel-drive. However, most of them are FWD. FWDs provide better traction and balance the weight of the engine on its two front wheels. 

The front wheels of an FWD are used for steering and driving. In RWD vehicles, they are only utilized for steering. RWD, on the other hand, is usually found in trucks and heavy-towing automobiles that rely on their load to balance the weight of the engine. These are also known to provide optimized suspension handling.

4WD – What it is all about?

4WD or four-wheel-drive is a trait in vehicles whose engine powers all four wheels. It is usually present in cars larger in size than their 2WD counterparts. 

4WD, also known as 4x4, is perfect for offroading vehicles. The 4WD facility provides these models with improved traction for going up hilly roads and so on. 4WD vehicles even score above AWD or all-wheel-drive cars, as they always keep you in control of the wheels. You can also choose to switch it off in some cars to improve fuel efficiency and provide a more comfortable ride.

Which Should You Get – 2WD or 4WD?

2WD is usually found in vehicles made for city driving. So, you’ll find plenty of FWD sedans and RWD family SUVs. However, if you require a car that will prove to be a dependable companion on your off-the-trail journeys, a 4WD vehicle is what you should get. 

4WD vehicles, as already discussed, provide great grip and traction and make it possible for you to drive over the roughest terrains safely and securely.

If you don’t earn enough or have enough credit to buy yourself a new vehicle, you might want to check out certified pre-owned or CPO vehicles. They can sometimes give you almost the same value as owning a completely new vehicle. Either way, a CPO model is definitely a lot more advantageous than owning any regular pre-owned variant. What difference does the certification make, and how is it obtained?

A CPO Certification Has to Be Won

Not every used car at a dealership receives CPO certification. Second-hand cars are subject to a rigorous multi-point inspection and reconditioning procedure before they can earn a CPO status.

Not every vehicle qualifies for the title of CPO. Only late-model, low-mileage used vehicles with a clean accident record are accepted into the CPO program by respective auto-manufacturers. 

So, Why Should You Buy a CPO Vehicle?

Your first and foremost reason for buying a CPO model should be the extended warranty that you can enjoy on them, unlike on regular used vehicles. CPO automobiles provide their buyers with warranty coverage that was leftover from the original purchaser’s term. You can enjoy servicing and part repairs/changes for free from the original car manufacturing brand within this remaining warranty period.

Besides this, unlike regular used vehicles, CPOs provide you with the assurance that the car you’re about to buy has been inspected for flaws and will not turn out to be a scam. Also, with the records made available, you can go over how many miles the vehicle has driven and whether it was in an accident previously. These details determine the lifetime of an automobile.

When it comes to an ordinary used car, your dealer may not inform you about any part changes that it underwent. As a result, you might have to spend more money on servicing your newly-bought used vehicle soon. Why would you want to incur such additional charges?

At our Kelly dealership near Emmaus, Allentown, and Easton, we extend visiting customers the convenience of buying their preferred Kelly Cars on credit. However, in order for them to make this purchase, they ought to have a dependable credit score. 

A bad credit rating gives us a wrong impression about the buyer’s ability to pay us back on time and we’re not keen on making such a business decision. If you happen to find yourself with a poor credit score, you can use this guide to boost back your credit score to a reassuring number.

What is Bad Credit and How Can You Get Rid Of It?

Bad credit refers to negative remarks on a person’s credit report such as complaints and notifications about late payments, bills sent to collection agencies, foreclosures, filings for bankruptcy, and so on. 

Lousy credit can hamper your accountability as a buyer for quite some time, but it is not permanent. With time, you can rebuild your credit score and drive the bad rank away. How do you do this? We discuss below.

• You keep your credit utilization low. This means, even if you are allowed to borrow 80% of the total credit you are owed, you try to use only 30% or less of this credit. It keeps your numbers high and also makes it easy for you to make your due payments on time.

• You do not hesitate with the payments you owe. Late payments can greatly impact your credit score. Making your payments on time will help stabilize your flailing credit score. 

• You can opt for a new secured credit card. A credit card works the same way as any credit card. The difference lies in the fact that you’re required to make an upfront payment in order to receive this card. The upfront payment/deposit usually is the same as the credit limit.

• Try out a credit builder loan. Visit a credit union or community bank and ask for a credit builder loan. All you’ll need is a membership to the bank, a certificate of income and proof of your ability to repay. In this type of loan, the lender releases the money only when you’ve repaid the total value of the loan. A credit builder loan is a great way to improve that credit rating.

A tire is the most important component of a car. Though their basic need is not seen beyond starting, stopping and steering, there is a lot of material science that goes into making a tire sturdy and compatible with the roads. Winter tires and all-season tires are thus equipped to handle the terrain in their own unique ways.

Winter Tires vs All-Season Tires

Handling The Terrain

Winter tires exceed all-season tires on all roads, whether they be wet or icy. Winter tires are made of softer rubber and bolder tread patterns, which allows the tires to press down firmly on the snow. With winter tires, you get better traction, which results in more stabilized maneuvering.

Increased Grip

You can use winter tires throughout the year, and not just in snowy conditions. The newer versions of the winter tire contain silica, which provides a grip on the road, resulting in better acceleration. All-season tires, on the other hand, cannot grip the road easily, so they have decreased traction and lower handling.

Driving On Ice

You will experience better driving on the road with winter tires, as they are made specifically to better the car's grip and improve your handling of the vehicle. Winter tires are more flexible on snow as they can remove more water from ice. 

On the other hand, all-season tires are made of hardened compounds that do not stick on the road. You do not have ample control and the tires tend to skid out from under you. You can use all-season tires if you do not plan on driving at high speeds. 

To be on the safer side, it is recommended that you use winter tires if you live on rough terrain with harsh winters.

The harshness of the winter is not unknown to those living in colder regions. Upgrading your tires and keeping your car equipped for the chilly months is essential to prevent any accidents and keep you safe. 

To know more about protecting your vehicle during the winter seasons, head over to our dealership for a consultation. We are a short drive away from the cities of Allentown, Easton, and Emmaus.

Your car's air filter catches all the dust and debris before it enters your engine, thus protecting and preserving the life of your vehicle. At an average, you should change your air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. The guide listed below will help you understand the signs your car exhibits when it’s time to do so.

Ignition

When your air filter is clogged, clean air cannot enter the engine, which affects the emission system of your vehicle. Grime enters your spark plugs, preventing them from sparking, which can cause the death of your engine.

Gas Mileage

Your engine needs ample airflow to work to its highest capacity. When your engine receives dirty air, your car's machinery cannot work at its optimum, resulting in a loss of gas mileage. If you are filling the gas tank more often than usual, it would help to take a peek at the air filter.

Visual Check

A visual check will tell you whether your air filter is clogged up. New or clean filters are either white or off-white. If your air filter is gray, almost bordering on black, or full of particles, it is time to replace it.

Driving Issues

You will know if there is something wrong with your car simply because it does not work the same way. If you encounter difficulties while driving, or if your tailpipe gives off black and dense emission, you may have trouble with your air filter.

Replacement

If you catch issues with your air filter before it is too late, you can replace it yourself. Check the instruction manual of your vehicle for directions on how to do it. If you ignore the problem for too long, you may have to take your model to a mechanic. Also, waiting to replace your air filter can cause damages to your car, which will run up a longer bill for you.

Changing your air filter is part of the basic maintenance check conducted by mechanics. Head over to our dealership for expert consultation and affordable prices, located just a short drive away from the surrounding cities of Allentown, Easton, and Emmaus.

As the winter months come to an end, it becomes time for spring cleaning, or cleaning out the cobwebs in your house and preparing your home for the summer months. Spring cleaning is not limited to your home, as your car needs a fresh upgrade as well. Cleaning your vehicle is important to help you enjoy the feeling of driving outdoors in the coming season.

Vacuum The Interiors

The interior of your car wears down faster than its exteriors. To preserve your upholstery and keep it looking as good as new, clean your seats, cushions, and ventilation areas thoroughly with a fine-bristled brush and a vacuum.

Wash The Tires

Tires are often overlooked by people washing their cars at home. A freshly-washed car running on dirty wheels does not look appealing. Wash your tires with non-acidic products, preferably soap and water. An old toothbrush is perfect to pick out all the grime that may have accumulated in the wheels.

Clean The Carpets

The carpets bear the brunt of your snow-covered boots during the winter months. When spring cleaning your car, take a stiff brush and remove all the dust, grime and debris that have accumulated on the car mats and carpets throughout the colder months. Finally, vacuum clean the carpets. If you plan on washing the carpets and mats, clean them by hand, as machine-washing them will cause wrinkles and unwanted folds.

Hand-Wash The Exteriors

The best way to leave your model gleaming after successfully spring-cleaning it is by washing the exterior by hand. Use a carwash solution to preserve the paint of your car and elongate its life. 

When washing your windows, remember to not use harsh chemicals and stiff cloth, as they will leave streaks and marks. Remove the additional water by sweeping it off with a sponge instead of letting your car air-dry.

Springtime is not only a good time for finally cleaning out your car, but it is also excellent for getting a maintenance check. Head over to our dealerships near the cities of Allentown, Easton, and Emmaus, and get your car ready for the hotter months today.

Are you sure you possess the greatest driving skills and are the best driver on this planet? Most of you presume so, literally. Yes, every other person out there thinks he/she is better than everyone else on the road. However, even with the finest driving skills, you can still better yourself by following the simple driving tips mentioned below. Read through to master the road and stay safe.

Top 5 Ways to Be a Better Driver 

1. Focus On The Road Ahead
   Always keep your vision focused on the path ahead while driving. You might be driving on the same road in Emmaus, Easton or Allentown you regularly take to commute but you can never predict when someone or something can obstruct your way. 
   
   
   Do not use your phone, which is actually the number one distraction for drivers in recent times. In addition, ensure to get your eyes tested for vision efficiency regularly; if need be, wear glasses to be ready to take on any situation that may arise unexpectedly.
   
   
2. Match Your Speed With The Traffic
   When you are driving, make sure to stay consistent and match your speed with the traffic you are looking to merge into. Neither slow down too much nor accelerate beyond the traffic’s pace.
   
   
3. Don’t Slam The Brakes Unnecessarily
   Some have a nasty (and dangerous) habit of slamming on the brakes for no valid-enough reason. Remember, doing this can trigger a chain reaction, and all those behind you will need to do so as well; this causes traffic congestion and may even lead to confusion on the road. Apply brakes only when you need to.
   
   
4. Avoid Over-Speeding
   Speed thrills but at the same time can be dangerous. Before you take to driving in Easton, Allentown, or Emmaus, check the local rules and maps and get to know the permitted speed limit. Most importantly, go slow when you are driving in a residential, hospital, or school zones.
   
   
5. Master Parking and Reversing Skills
   Driving is not just zooming down the road; the art involves parking in and pulling out the vehicle from the most cramped parking spaces. Besides, you need to learn how to reverse your car seamlessly to call yourself one of the best drivers.
