Wet leaves on the road are more dangerous than most drivers realize. 🍂⚠️

Fallen leaves become extremely slippery when wet, with friction levels close to black ice in some conditions. They can also hide potholes, lane markings, and road edges. As leaves start to fall this month, increase your following distance, reduce speed on curves and shaded roads, and be especially cautious in the morning when leaf-covered roads haven't had time to dry.

Fall is the right time to think about your vehicle's fluids. Here's what to check and why. 💧🔧

As temperatures drop, fluids that were fine in summer heat behave differently. Coolant (antifreeze) prevents freezing and overheating. Make sure it's at the proper concentration. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and should be inspected annually. Power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid (switch to a freeze-resistant formula!) are also worth reviewing before winter arrives.

Here's a fall car fact that surprises most drivers: your tire pressure drops every time the temperature does. 🌡️🛞

For every 10°F drop in outside temperature, your tires lose approximately 1 PSI of pressure. As fall sets in, tires that were fine all summer may trigger that TPMS warning light. Check all four tires (and your spare) monthly as temps fluctuate, and keep them at the manufacturer-recommended PSI found on the sticker inside your driver's door.

Today we pause to remember. 🕊️

Twenty-five years ago, our nation came together in the face of unimaginable loss. We honor the lives taken, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families who continue to carry that day with them. We're grateful for the first responders, servicemembers, and everyday people who define the strength of our communities.

We will never forget.

Here's something most drivers don't know: heat is actually harder on your car battery than cold weather, but fall is when the damage shows up. 🔋🍂

Batteries weakened by summer heat often fail once temperatures drop, because cold weather reduces a battery's ability to deliver power. If your battery is 3 or more years old, September is the ideal time for a quick load test. A proactive battery check takes minutes and can save you from a no-start on a cold morning.

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Today we're taking a moment to celebrate the people who make our community run.

The mechanics who keep cars on the road. The teachers heading back to classrooms. The nurses finishing overnight shifts. The construction crews, delivery drivers, and everyone in between — today is for you.

We're grateful every day for the hardworking families and neighbors who make up this community. However you're spending the holiday — with family, on the road, or finally getting a well-earned rest — we hope it's a great one. 🙌
