Car Maintenance in the Summer

Car Maintenance in the Summer

Ice cream, going to the seaside, road trips to Тhe Grand Canyon – those are just some of the fun stuff things that come with the summer; unfortunately, there are unpleasant things as well - such as having to do some maintenance on your car. Luckily for you, in this article we are going to discuss on what exactly you should focus.

First things first - test the vehicle’s battery because it might need to be changed. This is a good idea because the winter might have taken its toll on it. Besides, you wouldn’t want to have a dead battery in the middle of the road, especially if you have set out on a long road trip or a vacation.

Inspect the condition of the windshield wipers. Check if there are any cracks or wears, or simply if they are not so effective anymore, and if needed – replace them.

Due to the fact that there may have been potholes during the winter, a great suggestion would be for you to check if everything is alright with the suspension system of the vehicle.

Another thing to check would be the pressure of the tires. They need to be inflated to precise values, so be careful not to mess up the levels of inflation.

If, for some reason, you feel that you are not up to the task, just find a good auto repair center and have your car serviced there.

The rise of the automotive industry in Kansas City

The rise of the automotive industry in Kansas City
Kansas City is officially the nation's second-largest auto hub. City’s long history of auto production dates back to 1913 when Henry Ford made a decision to choose this region to be the first one outside of Detroit for auto production. The most recent expansion of Ford Motor Co. in this particular area was in 2011. At that time, the company announced a $1.2 billion investment that was meant to expand and retool Kansas City Assembly Plant, which is located in Claycomo. This plant is responsible for manufacturing the Transit and the F-150 full-size van.

Ford has a strong and steady relationship with area school districts which are part of the company’s Next Generation Learning initiative. Launched in 2006, that initiative provides mentoring, technical support, coaching, and financial support to 20 communities around the country.
