Happy Saturday! Dustin Atwood and Sarah Myers talk about a variety of topics in the automotive industry, including: GM decided to recall about 135,000 new SUVs due to an issue with their tire jacks. The emergency jacks are made of plastics. The first day of fall was September 22nd... Believe it or not, but fall weather is right around the corner. Before the weather gets cooler, Sarah wanted to run over a fall maintenance check list with Dustin: Make sure your heather and defroster are working properly. Check and/or replace your windshield wipers. Make sure to include things like: blanket, jacket, ice scraper, and jumper cables in your vehicle. Make sure your tires are in good shape and you're keeping your pressure checked. Sarah asks about winter tires & the best to use for the snow and ice. Check your battery. Have your fluids checked and changed. Dustin talks about a good additive to add to your windshield wiper fluid to keep your wipers working properly. Dustin also talks about a good substitute instead of jumper cables.
