May 28, 1937 Was a Big Day in World History.

It was on that day that the Volkswagen Group was formed in Berlin.  Eighty years later The Volkswagen Group was the largest automaker in worldwide sales.  It really is “The People’s Car”!  Millions of people around the earth proudly drive a VW on their favorite roads and there is no end in sight.

Today you or someone you know may be driving a Passat, a Jetta, the classic Beetle, The Golf, The Tiguan, or perhaps The Atlas.  Maybe you are one of those around Raleigh who proudly drives around in a Beetle Convertible!  Whatever you choose, Volkswagens are seen everywhere around North Carolina.

At or Below Freezing…Not Around Here.

Those that have lived in Raleigh, NC for years know better.  During the next three months the thermometer can and will read 32 degrees and less!  What kind of a toll does that take on your vehicle?  As the temperature drops, so do your chances of your car running properly.  That is something we all want to avoid.

Here are some things to watch for -

1.  Your battery can die more easily in colder weather.
2.  Fluids thicken in dropping temperatures.
3.  Winter could take a toll on your tire pressure.
4.  Spark plug reliability weakens during the winter.

Whether it is winter, spring, summer, or fall you can always trust your car to the man and the team who have worked on all makes and models for decades.  That’s Jim Liacos and his crew at Jim’s Auto Service.  Keep your car running smoothly this winter and make an appointment at Jim’s located at 3711 Tarheel Dr. in Raleigh.  Just call ahead at (919) 824-4566.
