Let’s Hit the Road, Buddy! When buying a new vehicle, there are several factors we consider while at the dealership. What’s my budget, is it roomy for my family, how many miles to the gallon, and so on. One thing you might want to ask yourself is, “Will it be dog-friendly?” Let’s face it, if your furry family member is anything like mine, they LOVE to go for car rides. Here is a list of a few vehicles that motorbiscut.com feel are best designed for dogs and us! The Fast and Dog-Friendly Mercedes-Benz E400 Wagon The Mercedes-Benz E400 offers a “deep boot tub” that lets your messy fur ball be moved without ruining your back seat. It’s rubberized with deep corner edges for the best protection and easy cleanup. Not only that, there’s an optional “load sill protector,” to shield the rear of the vehicle from scratches when dogs are jumping in and out, and is easily put out of the way. Nissan Titan Crew Cab The Titan has gone above and beyond to makes its Crew Cab dog-friendly.

If you need a vehicle that accommodates six or seven people, but you really hate the thought of driving a minivan, then obviously you don’t need to buy a minivan. There are so many other options out there for you. Choose a type of vehicle that appeals to you and that you wouldn’t mind walking out your door every day and seeing it in your driveway. An SUV would be the best choice for you, such as a Denali, Tahoe, Navigator, or Yukon. The second thing is to match a vehicle with your needs. If you drive a reasonable distance every day to and from work, it is likely you will want a vehicle that is good on gas mileage. Or if you work on a ranch or farm, you would need a vehicle that is durable and equipped to drive off-road. For large families, third-row seating may need to be an option. The thing to remember is there are so many opt

Go Through a Checklist Now that summer is upon us, most of us will be hitting the road for a much-needed vacation.  While you may have gone down your list of food to take, what clothes to bring, the dog’s stuff, and whatever needless thing your 5-year-old can’t live without, it is possible you may have overlooked the needs of your vehicle. A long trip can put some stress on your car, so before you hit the road, you may want to take it for a tune up and look over by a mechanic. Heck, you can even make a checklist for you to look over before your trip so that you and your family can skip the agony of being broken down on the side of the road. Samarins.com has a few helpful tips, but keep in mind, their tips don’t include other essential items to consider. It would be best to get your vehicle inspected by a mechanic a few days before your trip. Here are a few of our favorites. Safety First Replace windshield wipers if they are worn-out or old. Good visibility is vital for safe

Care and Maintenance on Your Vehicle We all know it’s important to keep up with basic car care so that it doesn’t add up to big and costly problems. Taking your vehicle can become expensive if you take it to a mechanic for an issue you can take care of on your own. Here are a few things you can do to keep your car running for as long as possible. Things to Follow The timing belt/chain makes all the moving parts run smoothly. So when that goes out it can kill your engine quickly. Depending on your car, the chain will need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. It can cost you, but after you get it done you won’t have to worry about it for a while.  Making sure the antifreeze in your car is topped off and there are no leaks can keep your vehicle on the road a lot longer.
