survive driving car in the heat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuGEXJ8D4Xo Last week we wrote about how to help your car survive the summer heat, but now it’s time to take care of drivers. As you can imagine, air conditioning has become a necessity in most people's lives–whether in the household or a vehicle. There are people so used to it, i.e. spoiled, that they refuse to leave their living quarters in high temperatures if there is no air conditioning outside.

September 6, 2022 By CRS Automotive

used car tire

Every driver knows that the car's cost will add up over time. Just when you’ve replaced your battery, you learn that it’s time for an alignment. Right after you’ve replaced some belts, you find out that you need new tires. Treating your car well and getting the recommended maintenance on time is the best way to protect your car from unexpected repairs. However, you can’t avoid all these expenses. After all, tires don’t last forever, no matter how often you balance and rotate them, so you may be tempted to try to save money by purchasing used tires instead.

September 4, 2022 By CRS Automotive

connected car app

The number of connected cars on the roads is increasing, but not as fast as expected. It is still incredible to think that cars can communicate not only with one another but also with traffic infrastructure acquiring information pertinent for safe and efficient driving such as road and weather conditions, optimized fuel consumption, and the like. However, is that all we want from a car? With limitless connectivity and practically autonomous driverless technology, passengers (and drivers now turned passengers) will have more time and need for entertainment, interaction, and conversation.

What Is the Best Wax For Your Car?

July 11, 2022 By CRS Automotive

car waxing which wax to use

You may think that car waxing is something you do only in the summer – to make your car shiny and beautiful when the sun’s rays shine upon it, but it’s more necessary for winter car protection. It provides your vehicle with a protective layer against the elements – snow, sleet, ice on the streets, and the salt used by road crews to melt said ice. It likes to stick to your car's undercarriage, wheels, and brakes and lead to corrosion of metal parts exposed to it. But, how to know which type of car wax is the right product for you? Stick with us to find out! If you have a straightforward … [Read more...]
