Long time, no see everybody! We have been very busy this summer at Pfefferle
Tire.
Let me catch you up on some events you have missed this summer. Joe
Summers, one of our fine quick lube technicians, celebrated his one
year anniversary with us on July 14. He also celebrated his 26th
birthday on July 27th. Chris Napier, a technician in the garage
and our resident brake specialist, enjoyed his 5th year anniversary
with us on September 12th.
‘Tis the season for Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson to reign down upon
the NFL! Go Bengals! If football is back, that means cold weather is
right around the corner and nothing is more vital for your car than
to be ready for winter.
When was the last time you had your battery checked? Is the battery
in your car 4 years or older? If so, you should have your battery checked...we'll
do it for free!. Preventative maintenance is one of the best ways you
can stop problems before they happen. Why leave yourself stranded on
the road? Have your battery checked today.
What about your car’s shoes? Seriously. Are your tires going to
make it through the rain and snow of the fall and winter seasons? Stop
in today and we can take a look at your tires and give you an estimate
in five minutes or less! All of our tire prices include mounting, balancing,
valve stems, disposal, free tire rotation, and a limited road hazard
warranty. We always have great specials on our tires as well, so anytime
is a good time to purchase tires.
How long has it been since you had your cooling system flushed? Your
cooling system needs love every 2-3 years or 24,000-36,000 miles. Performing
this maintenance helps prevent your water pump, radiator, or heater
core from springing leaks on cold winter nights. Cooling system services
run between $80-90, but for the month of September, when mentioning
this newsletter, you will receive a $15 discount! There is also a $10
mail in rebate available through the end of month, taking the total
savings to $25!

for being loyal customers to Pfefferle Tire and Auto.
Sincerely,

TOP 10 TIRE CARE TIPS
Source: Automotive Service Association (ASA)
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, under
inflated tires are attributed to crashes that result in 660 fatalities
and 33,000 injuries each year.
Recent research sponsored by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)
conducted surveys of 1,000 drivers nationwide and found that:
63 percent of motorists cite tire pressure as the most effective way
to increase gas mileage;
Only
19 percent of drivers properly check their tire inflation pressure.
Each month, three out of four drivers wash their cars while only about
one in five correctly checks their tire pressure;
You can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3 percent and save up to
$0.09/gallon by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure.
Here are 10 tire care tips:
Don't wait until it's too late Make it a habit to check your
tire pressure at least once per month and before every long trip. Under
inflated tires causes excess heat build-up that can damage tires and
lead to a failure.
Know your pressure point The correct tire pressure is found
on a sticker on the driver's door, doorpost or owner¹s manual NOT on
the tire sidewall that's the maximum pressure for the tire.
Keep your cool To accurately measure your tire pressure, check
tires when they are cold. Wait at least three hours after driving.
Take care of your spare Check your spare tire each month and
keep it properly inflated so it's ready to go when you need it most.
Penny for your thoughts A penny can tell you if your tire is
bald. Place a penny upside down into a tread groove. If you can see
all of Lincoln¹s head, it¹s time for a new tire.
Keep yourself in line Be aware of potholes that can not only
damage your tire but can also jar your car's alignment.
Pick a date and rotate Make sure you rotate your tires every
6,000 miles to promote uniform wear and longer tire life.
Don't take a spin without a cap Driving without your tire valve
cap allows for a slow leak of air from the tire and eventual underinflation.
Don't lose your balance It is important to have your tire balance
checked periodically to avoid irregular wear.
Be a weight-watcher Overloading your vehicle stresses your
tires and can lead to damage.
Always consult the vehicle owner's manual
for individual service schedules as manufacturer maintenance requirements
vary greatly.
