Summer Care Tips You Should Know!
Summer is just around the corner, literally, it is what less than a week away. And unfortunately, servicing your vehicle doesn’t take a vacation during the Summer months as you will. Warmer months present challenges and can cause problems that can be costly to repair if you are not paying attention to what your vehicle needs. Let’s keep your vehicle in tip-top health this Summer and keep you out of the shop trying to fix-up your ride. Take a look at our tips on preparing your vehicle for the upcoming HOT months!
Coolant System – Keeping your vehicle cool is crucial to its performance and lifespan. Before the heat hits, check the level of coolant in your vehicle and even go the extra step and inspect the coolant reservoir and hoses. Give the hoses a squeeze, these should feel firm, not excessively squishy. If they are, you should replace them. Also, look for any cracks or leaking of the hoses especially at connection points and joints. *NEVER do any work on a hot engine, give the engine proper time to cool down.*
Windshield Wipers – Worn wipers are a no-go. And although it is Summer, it is bound to rain at some point and you don’t want to be caught in the rain with worn, streaky wipers. Wipers have a tendency to break down due to UV radiation from the sun, replacing your wipers before the upcoming season can prepare you for whatever may come your windshields way this Summer! Stop by our Express Lane and ask how you can get your wipers replaced without scheduling an appointment – in and out, easy breezy!
Essential Fluids – Your vehicle needs a variety of fluids to ensure it is running properly and they all need to be at a certain level in order to work the way they are intended. Check your engine’s oil, brake, power-steering, and windshield-washer fluids regularly. Each and every one of these fluids play a critical role and if you are running low or are completely empty, you can cause some costly damage to your ride. Top off these fluids or drop by our store and we can take a look for you!
Tires – Not only should you be checking the tread regularly but you should also be checking your tire’s pressure as well. Your tire’s tread should be checked and free of any stones, stray nails you may have picked up along the way, and they should be in good condition, ALL FOUR! Look for any cracks or uneven tread, this can be a result of a suspension problem. If you are planning to travel this Summer, your tires are an important part of that trip. Stop in to see us for any tire maintenance or questions you may have.
Air-Conditioning System – It can get hot in upstate New York, we all know this and having a poorly working air-conditioning system is not acceptable. If you’ve been having problems with your system, now is the time to act. There can be a multitude of reasons why your system is failing or having problems, leaks being one of the main causes. This system can be a bit tricky and may require a professional mechanics assistance in order to fix.
Air Filter – Your air filter may need a little bit of TLC after the spring we have had. Pollen, dirt, and dust may have clogged up your filter in the previous months and may create a problem when it comes to filtering your cabin air. These are often pretty easy to swap out and can be done at home but if you are unsure, our service department can assist you with all of your air filter needs!

To Buy Or To Lease: A Guide
Buying or leasing a new vehicle is a big deal – we know there are a lot of options to choose from and sometimes they can be a little overwhelming. Like what color, trim, engine size, model, and more – these options can sometimes drive us crazy. And just when you thought you were done, your salesperson will ask if you want to buy or lease the vehicle. Don’t go pulling your hair out, we got you covered with tips on which option would be best for your wallet, lifestyle, and driveway!
Why you should lease:
- Smaller monthly payments
- Little to no down payment upfront
- The vehicle remains under warranty
- Newest and latest technology will accompany you
- Tax Savings
- Trade-in your old vehicle instead of selling
Why you should buy:
- No monthly payments after your loan is paid off
- You won’t have any mileage restrictions
- Customize your vehicle to your liking
- There are no excess wear and tear fees
- The vehicle is YOURS
- Your credit doesn’t have to be excellent
You may also want to think about your lifestyle and how much driving you do on a regular basis. If you drive more than the average person weekly, buying the vehicle may be a better option. We offer different mileage options to fit the needs of customers.
Also, consider how much you want to pay towards a vehicle monthly. If you prefer cheaper payments and no down payment, opt in for the lease. If you don’t mind a more expensive payment and look forward to paying off a loan, choose to buy the vehicle.
Whatever your needs may warrant, we can help get you into a car you love at an affordable price here at Zappone! Come see us and take your new vehicle for a test drive!

Lurking Potholes: A Horror Story
Do you ever have one of those days where you are driving along and ka-bam! Slam! Jam! – A pothole appears out of seemingly nowhere. One so big that it nearly swallows up your entire car.. Alright, alright, maybe it wasn’t that big but it sure seemed like it. Living in New York, we are no strangers to those lurking little demons that can cause your wallet hundreds of dollars in repairs for your vehicle. Check out our tips to saving your car from a visit to the shop and how to avoid potholes altogether!
Slow it down – the worst thing you can do if you encounter a pothole is driving through at a fast pace. The faster you power through the pothole, the worse the damage will be. Take is slow, or try to maneuver around the pothole.
Space it out – take some space for yourself, if you’re following the vehicle in front of you too close you risk the chance of hitting the same pothole they hit. If you give yourself enough space, you will have time to react and avoid hitting the pothole.
Puddles are the worst – if you see a puddle, avoid that puppy! Puddles are infamous for hiding a deep crater that your car can and will be sucked into. Be cautious when you approach a puddle and avoid it at all costs.
Don’t brake – in the event that you do hit a pothole, do not, I repeat do not brake. If you do hit a pothole and brake you run the chance of doing more damage to your vehicle than just driving through.
Hold on for life – hitting a pothole can not only do damage to your vehicle but can violently jolt you and your passengers. Make sure you have a solid grip on the steering wheel so you don’t lose control of your vehicle when passing through.
Fill up those tires – keeping your tires properly inflated will give your vehicle added protection when passing through potholes. This does not mean that you can hit potholes at full speed, just that you will have a little-added cushion.
It is important to take care of damage as soon as you notice it. If you have any questions give us a call or stop by our service department!
