Don't hit the road without these 3 things in mind!

As we wave goodbye to winter, it's important to take the appropriate defense against the pesky downside of spring: potholes.  Don't hit the road without these 3 things in mind:


Increase following distance: This helps to see potholes that may be ahead and allow time to avoid them. Before swerving to avoid any pothole, check surrounding traffic to ensure this will not cause a collision or endanger nearby pedestrians or cyclists.
Beware of puddles – A puddle can hide a deep pothole, so if you drive through puddles, treat them as though they all are hiding potholes.
Properly inflate tires – A properly inflated tire is more likely to absorb the force of hitting a pothole, where a low tire will transmit the force to the rim. Replacing a tire is much less expensive than replacing a rim!

Of course, if disaster strikes you in the form of a pothole, we've got you covered!  Save big with our Pothole Special.
