If you’ve ever been stranded by a dead battery, you know it might be one of, if not the most annoying instances you might encounter as a vehicle owner. But we’re here to put that worry to rest with some tips and tricks this week! This week we are taking a deep dive into how to avoid a dead battery this upcoming winter season. I mean let’s be real, we all know what winter can bring here in Granville, NY. So, check out these tips below, and be sure to schedule your next service appointment online today! Zappone CJDR’s Guide To Avoiding A Dead Battery: What Caused My Dead Battery Leaving headlights, interior lights, flashers or the radio on when your vehicle isn’t running Using the air conditioner or heat when your vehicle isn’t running Low air temperatures, causing your battery to freeze Lack of battery maintenance Not starting your vehicle for long periods of time Failure of voltage regulator within the alternator How To Avoid A Dead Battery The easiest way to put your mind at ease that you won’t be in this situation is to service your battery regularly to make sure there are no issues. This is exceptionally important when temperatures start to drop drastically or after driving long miles. A technician can test your battery to ensure that it’s still in a good, healthy condition. Be smart with your vehicle. Don’t use certain features like the radio, chargers, or lights for long periods of time without starting your vehicle. This puts a lot of stress on your battery and can end up killing your battery altogether. Avoid extreme temperatures if you can. We encourage you to park your vehicle in your garage (if you have one). This can cut back on exposure to extreme temperatures and won’t be the mortality of your battery. What To Do When Your Battery Dies Of course, the first answer is to jump-start your vehicle. It’s always a great idea to keep a set of jumper cables inside your vehicle for emergencies whether that is you or another driver. Also, keep in mind that you should never try to jump start a battery if it is cracked or visibly leaking acid. Roadside assistance is a beautiful thing and is almost necessary. If you do find yourself stranded and in need of help, be sure to call roadside assistance for help. This is especially helpful if you are on the highway and can’t flag down another driver. Plus, it’s safer to stay in your vehicle while a trained professional addresses the situation.

You have heard it time and time again. Texting and driving is a problem many drivers are becoming too accustomed to. This week, we want to remind you of a few of the reasons why you should put your phone down when you start your vehicle and leave it down! Check out those reasons below and start using them in your everyday driving routine. And if you have a teen driver, it’s exceptionally important to get them to start practicing safe driving by leaving their phone down and eyes on the road! Zappone CJDR’s Reasons Not To Text And Drive: #1: It is illegal - if you are caught, you can expect hefty fines and insurance rate spike. No matter how short the text may be, these poor decisions can and will leave lasting effects on your wallet and perhaps someone’s life. #2: Think about your passengers - if you are traveling with children, friends, or pets inside your vehicle, think how much damage you can cause in the event of a collision due to texting and driving. Not only are you putting your life at a much higher risk, but you are also doing the same to their lives as well. #3: Protect pedestrians - texting and driving will take your attention off the road and will not allow you to see everything that may be in your path. Pedestrians are small and less noticeable than other vehicles, if you are looking at your cell-phone there is a slim chance you will see the pedestrians. #4: Consider your fellow motorists - you share the road with other motorists, who may be traveling with their children or on their way to see them. By texting and driving, you run the risk of causing harm to other motorists, their family, and their life. #5: It only takes a few seconds - as we said before, you could be sending an “ok” but, it only takes a few seconds to travel the length of a football field if you are traveling 55 mph. Take the time to pull aside and park your vehicle if you need to send a text message. If not, it can wait until you reach your destination.
