Labor Day Travel Check List

Labor Day Travel Check List

As Labor Day is one of the most traveled holiday, make sure your vehicle is ready for the road. Before you hit the road please keep in mind to check things like fluids, wipers, hoses, and belts. Make sure your vehicle has the correct amount of engine oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. Your vehicle's battery should also be checked. Heat evaporates battery fluid which can speed up corrosion. The weather is also still warmer so be sure that the A/C is working up to the standards. Lastly, check tire pressure and all lights to make sure they are all working properly. If you have any questions about items stated above please give us a call and we will be happy to assist you

Back to School Drive

Back to School Drive

As the end of August is approaching us, kids are going to be on their way back to school. With that being said that means we have closed another successful school drive. This year we were able to raise a total of $738.06. Thank you to everyone who made a cash donation or a school supply donation. Without all your generosity we would not be able to do this for our community. With the donations we are able to help over 500 kids within Washington County. Thank you all again, we couldn't do it without you!
