What are the requirements you have for the new SUV that you would like to lease or buy? Is it a bold design or room for passengers and cargo? Maybe it is one that incorporates all of those aspects as well as a cabin with luxurious seating and touches.

The battery is arguably one of the most important parts in your car and you can't drive it anywhere if the battery is dead. It's essential to know how to test the battery, before it's too late.

You'll need a voltmeter, which measures the battery's state of charge. And always remember to wear protective gear like glasses and gloves. Make sure your car is completely off, with no lights on. Use the voltmeter to connect it to your battery by matching the positive voltmeter-lead (red) to the positive terminal on the battery. Then you should…

The air pressure in your tires should be just right in order to extend the life of your tires and for your safety. Not enough air damages tire components and wears down treads, which shortens tire life. Bad treads inhibit the ability to grip the road, which is especially important on wet or icy streets. Worn treads could also cause blowouts.

Overinflated tires cause the uneven distribution of tires’ weight, causing most of the weight to be on the center part of the tire. Optimum tire pressure is determined by the make and model of the vehicle and not by…

Tires must have an adequate amount of tread in order to make proper contact with the road. The friction between tires and the asphalt is what enables drivers to safely handle vehicles in all types of weather conditions. Tread cannot effectively grip the road or displace precipitation when tires become worn. When was the last time you checked your tires? It is easy to determine if it is time to replace your tires.

The timing belt is one of the most important components of your car, but most people do not think about it until it breaks and leaves them along the side of the road. The timing belt is responsible for keeping the parts of the engine working together. When it breaks or slips, it can cause serious problems.
