If you drive an automatic, you’re probably pretty familiar with a few of the gears on your car. Have you ever wondered what the 1 and 2 or H and L gears do, or when you should be using them? As it turns out, the gear switch can be used for more than just the standard park (P), reverse (R), neutral (N) and drive (D). <br />
<br />
Although a car with an automatic transition will select gears by itself, it can sometimes be a good idea to pick a gear manually.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Lower Gears and Higher Gears</h3>
The gears on a car are a more complicated version of gears on a bike. With a lower gear, your car has more oomph – more force behind it – making it easier to drive up a hill, pull a big trailer, or quickly increase your speed. With a higher gear, the engine turns slower, but allows you to maintain a constant speed for a longer period of time. <br />
<br />
Some newer vehicles have a gear selection called <a href="http://money.howstuffworks.com/personal-finance/budgeting/how-to-drive-economically7.htm">overdrive (OD)</a>. That feature, which typically defaults to “on,” makes for a <a href="http://www.carhistory.com.au/blog/what-do-all-different-gears-your-automatic-car-mean">speedy switch into a high gear</a> as soon as possible, which can help stretch fuel mileage. This is similar to economy mode in many newer model cars. This mode will keep cars going at a lower RPM, meaning better gas mileage, but will give you less power for quick stops or hilly terrain.<br />
<br />
<br />

<h3>
When to Switch Gears</h3>
Driving down a steep hill is a good time to switch into a different gear, such as Lower (L), 1 or 2. This move will <a href="https://blog.allstate.com/safety-tips-mountain-driving/">slow the car</a> down without having to put too much pressure or heat on the brakes. Switching to a lower gear can also be a good idea for <a href="https://www.carhistory.com.au/blog/what-do-all-different-gears-your-automatic-car-mean">traveling up a hill</a> or pulling a trailer. If you find yourself needing to pick up speed quickly without waiting for the transmission, a lower gear will react to your gas pedal instantly.<br />
<br />
Selecting 2 means your transmission is <a href="https://www.cars.com/articles/what-do-the-numbers-and-letters-mean-on-an-automatic-transmission-1420690417141/">locked in second gear</a>. That can be a good option for starting out on an icy road, but beware: a lower gear may make driving down an icy hill more difficult in front-wheel-drive vehicles.<br />
<br />
Check your vehicle manual for specific recommendations based on your make and model. For example, some manuals recommend switching off overdrive in city traffic or hilly terrain. Watch this video on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1kFrxv3upQ">using Overdrive and Economy Mode Override</a> to learn more about this feature. <br />
<br />
<br />
All of these gear selections are absolutely optional. The beauty of an automatic is that you can let your vehicle handle the gear-switching.

The surface of your car can reach up to 200 degrees on hot days, permanently affecting the paint. Sun damage to your auto paint can cause oxidation and fading, making it look worn before its time. But it is preventable; follow these tips to protect your car from sun damage.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="300" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/nhTIxvg8U7-CW-KWPJrbCg5uFFpBDPi_6zY79JSXS9rmrCGovxFrRj9qh0wkKugvUsATc90PAkBgUgasvk1FRkdWDfCR6XZCcqR737zaPD9sXzICbl_XikH2v1cKHvGzuw2LDG7i" width="400" /></div>
<h3>
<br />Seek Covered Parking</h3>
Just as we do in the winter to keep the snow off, seek out parking that is covered or sheltered. Daily shade, wherever you’re parking, is like wearing a baseball cap to the beach—it’s the easiest protection out there.<br /><h3>
<br />Wash and WAX Your Car Often</h3>
Wash your car often, but do it in a place that is out of direct sunlight. Whenever you wash and dry your car, finish off with a good wax to protect the paint from ultraviolet damage – not to mention the effects of road dirt and pollution.<h3>
<br />Purchase Paint Protection Film</h3>
If you can’t avoid direct sunlight and want to be absolutely certain that your car is protected, consider paint protection film. You can purchase a kit that covers part or all of your car’s exterior for the ultimate in protection. There are several brands out there to choose from, like<a href="http://www.xpel.com/paint-protection-kits/XPEL_North_America/Passenger_Cars_and_Light_Trucks"> Xpel</a>,<a href="http://www.invisiblemask.com/imask/index.php?route=common/home"> Invisible Mask</a>, or<a href="https://clearmask.com/"> Clear Mask</a>. With this type of protection, you can rest assured that your prized car parked in the driveway year-round will be safe from the summer sun. <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/s7NCwqZ93vEcSf_1ZOuJdHxubNhWIqlbxRf-115-b0hkUeGkob3XX6lEPCU6mC0FRsjYOIG_3bJKs0aL30q8FvA27yJk2I6h1KH0Ho7jOKlr19HsRFBFAH22h4fls3QDPulFR-k9" /></div>
<h3>
<br />If you do see oxidation and sun damage, it could be restored</h3>
Some mild oxidation to your car’s paint can be fixed with a buff and wax. But, according to Jerry Hurley, of<a href="https://www.maaco.com/services/auto-painting/"> Maaco Collision Repair and Auto Painting</a>, “If the clear coat starts to turn white or chalky, it needs to be repainted.” Check with your local auto painting or auto repair shop to see if they can make your paint look shiny again.<br /><br />Be sure to enjoy the summer weather and your favorite vehicle, while taking care of its paint and exterior. If you notice your good times are taking a toll on your vehicle, stop into <a href="http://www.kuehnmotors.com/">Kuehn Motors</a> for a wash, wax, and interior clean from one of our highly-qualified technicians.<br /><br /> <br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11181381011194245444noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610957131267569326.post-11621247065286167592017-08-23T08:00:00.000-05:002017-08-23T08:00:11.702-05:00Preparing to Sell Your Car: Do-It-Yourself Detailing<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/SS875itxwQ2PXlcpmL_XgBvn914USUeRDNj7fbu5_hQfNdWAHwf7WY0Nef0hcFgZgUdApUsw8kk19sN_KT_742ORC5LEX6Dd1sfxZhXuSl4jILfRYML4PbfHjy2Zw6OCWjEsxOQ5" /></div>
<br />Looking to sell your vehicle but not sure if that PB&J stain in the back seat will be the selling point or not? How about that weird smell coming from under the back seat? These definitely will not be ideal features for your buyer, but have no fear - there is a solution for that. For those who don’t really know what detailing your vehicle entails, here is a simple guide from essentials to getting the job done.<br /><br /><h3>
Grab the Essentials</h3>
For a full list of suggested tools to detail your car like a pro, the<a href="http://www.dmv.org/how-to-guides/detailing-car.php"> DMV website</a> is a great resource, but the essentials are listed below:<br /><ul>
<li><b>A Vacuum Cleaner </b>with multiple attachments - these are to get into the tiny crevices that you think no one will notice, but they will.</li>
<li><b>Rags</b> for different surfaces - Having a rag for wet and dry surfaces, along with one for whipping windows will help keep from pushing dust around.</li>
<li><b>Cleaning Products</b> - upholstery cleaner, carpet cleaner and all-purpose cleaner (for those pesky unknown stains).</li>
<li><b>Q-tips, Cotton Swabs and Toothbrushes</b> - for the tiny areas you won’t be able to get with a rag.</li>
<li><b>A Can of Compressed Air </b>- this is a bonus and can really come in handy for those small, hard-to-reach areas.</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<br />Getting Started</h3>
There are plenty of tips and tricks to help you get started, but don’t underestimate the power of a good deep clean. When you sell your car, whoever is buying it will want that “new car” feeling, even if it’s only new to them. There are a few things that are more important than others, though. <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2013/09/give-your-car-a-makeover/index.htm">Consumerreport.org</a> gives a good description of what you need to do to better your chances of selling your vehicle:<br /><ul>
<li><b>Clean the Cup Holders</b> - Though it may seem trivial, this is one of the first things that your potential buyer looks at. Giving it a fresh look will help increase your chances of impressing the buyers.</li>
<li><b>Get into the Corners</b> - Even though you may not think the corners are a big deal, your potential buyer will. How you maintain the inside of your car can be perceived as how you well you keep the car maintained overall. So make sure you show them you took care of your car overall.</li>
<li><b>Deep Clean the Fabrics</b> - When inspecting a car to potentially purchase, buyers always look for imperfections in the upholstery. Getting rid of minor stains and making your car look spotless will help you big time.</li>
<li><b>Do a Final Vacuum</b> - Get the last few crumbs under the floor mat and anything else that you may have missed. One last vacuum could be the difference between a sale or not.</li>
</ul>
<br />These are just a few ways to help better your odds at selling your vehicle and could be what helps you get closer to your next vehicle.

Getting a new vehicle sometimes depends on getting the best trade-in or sale price on your old ride. Not only will small additions help you to sell your vehicle, but<a href="https://www.moneyunder30.com/get-more-money-sell-trade-used-car"> moneyunder30.com</a> estimates you can get up to 21% more for your vehicle because buyers are willing to pay for cleanliness, confidence and a quality vehicle.<br />

<h3>
New Tires Can Go a Long Way</h3>
Getting new tires, especially in Minnesota, can help value your car tremendously. No one likes the idea of buying a car and then having to put more money into it; in fact, it can drastically lower the value of your car. Having a car with brand new tires also gives the buyer confidence that you took care of your vehicle.<br />

<h3>
Take Care of Small Maintenance Issues</h3>
Small maintenance projects like changing the oil, replacing the air filter and any lights that have burnt out, and filling any low fluids are easy and cheap ways to make your car have the “new” feeling for the person who could potentially be buying it. Plus, most of these things can be done without the help of a mechanic with little to no tools!<a href="http://www.moneycrashers.com/diy-car-maintenance-tips-checklist/"> Moneycrashers.com</a> has a full list of car maintenance tips that can be done yourself and are typically inexpensive. <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-recall/selling-your-car-items-to-fix-before-you-sell-212757">Autotrader.com</a> also suggests these small, routine maintenance projects before posting your vehicle online.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Be Prepared for the Buyer</h3>
Everyone knows someone who has gotten burned by buying a used car from a private owner. There is no warranty and most of the time you don’t know the person who you are buying from. This is why so many people are skeptical when buying a car from private owners. Be prepared for the buyer and show them that you have nothing to hide with maintenance and vehicle records on hand as well as offering to bring to a certified mechanic if they would prefer to have a third party look it over. This is usually pretty inexpensive and could end up helping you clinch the sale.<br />

<h3>
<br />Soap and Water are Your Friends</h3>
Last but not least, get out the soapy water bucket and dust rag and clean your vehicle inside and out. A clean car looks better and will help value it so that you can get more money and they will be happier and more confident with their purchase.

That means it’s time to take the top off, roll the windows down and open the sunroof. In Minnesota, we only get 4-5 short months of beautiful weather, so we need to enjoy it while we can. <br />
<br />
The best way to enjoy the short-lived summer sun is with your summer shades on, the radio turned up and the breeze running through your hair. To fully enjoy this scenario, though, your car needs to cooperate. We have compiled the three vehicle categories that best capture the spirit of summer. <br />

<h3>
The Summer Cruiser</h3>
This is the car you take to weekend events like the family grill-out, baseball games, and pretty much anywhere you want to cruise to while enjoying the weather. The summer cruiser sets you apart because of the way you look and feel while driving it. The best cruisers for summer include vehicles like the <a href="http://www.kuehnmotors.com/used/Dodge/2015-Dodge-Charger-ae5412da0a0e0ae836bfff51c5b25b9b.htm">Dodge Charger</a>.

<br />
<h3>
The Road-Trip Hauler</h3>
The road-trip hauler is the vehicle you take to family reunions, camping, or on that yearly family vacation. This is the vehicle that you can stuff five suitcases, two duffel bags, a cooler, the dog, and the rest of the family into for the long haul across state lines.<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

If you’re looking for something a bit smaller with better fuel economy, the <a href="http://www.kuehnmotors.com/used/Ford/2012-Ford-Focus-cfc35bd90a0e0ae754e00ce07c841404.htm">Ford Focus SEL Hatchback</a> or <a href="http://www.kuehnmotors.com/used/Ford/2015-Ford-Edge-74d58e020a0e0a173bd765f2441c4d4f.htm">Ford Edge</a> might be better options.<br />

<h3>
The Off-Roader</h3>
The off-roader is the vehicle you take to the cabin or lake while pulling the old boat behind it. This is the vehicle that’s durable with big tires, perfect for a little summer fun and off-roading.<br />

When it comes time to market your vehicle, you run into an important question; “How much is my vehicle worth?” Luckily, there are numerous tools and tips you can use to determine the value of your vehicle when you are ready to sell.<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img alt="car-1455746_640.jpg" height="270" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ad2BfW1hkvwApHFnqsdOD4ZUDQCHeUDE5CsswCz1oTeAlGgOJOdclbSyxK30Km8helj67HlwaPzQxhaIxRkijsbuV21ynQ4-MJvMeCg9KQPBddi3325WN7xT8nnVvRjTS3tpvez" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0.00rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0.00rad);" width="404" /></span></div>
<h3>
Determine Your Car’s Condition</h3>
Understanding the condition your car is really in is important to the appraisal process. Most people overestimate the value of their vehicle and can be unaware of maintenance needs. Kelly Blue Book supports<a href="https://www.kbb.com/sell-your-car/know-your-cars-true-condition/#zipo=07cfa4553b8e484387facdb0c6ead7e8"> getting an inspection report</a> so you can be forthcoming with the condition of the car to potential buyers. If you are selling to a dealership like Kuehn Motors, an inspection report provides proof of your trade-in’s value. <br />
<br />
<h3>
Get An Online Appraisal</h3>
The value of your vehicle can be estimated online by a few different tools.<a href="https://www.edmunds.com/appraisal/"> Edmunds.com</a> offers an easy-to-use appraisal tool which gives you the value of your vehicle if you sold it to a private party as well as the amount you can expect as a trade-in at a dealership.<a href="http://www.kuehnmotors.com/value-your-trade.htm"> Kuehn Motors also offers a unique tool</a> in conjunction with Kelly Blue Book to give you the value of your vehicle on our website.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Compare Like Models For Sale</h3>
The last tip to help you determine the value of your vehicle is to research similarly listed models in your area. A great tool to do this is on <a href="https://www.cargurus.com/">cargurus.com</a>. They have an<a href="https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/instantMarketValue.action"> instant market value tool</a> which appraises your car against other vehicles listed for sale in your area. All you need to do is complete information in their search engine and hit “search listings” to see which vehicles in your market’s area are comparable to yours.<br />
<br />
<br />
Determining the car's true condition, seeking an online appraisal, and comparing similar vehicles on the market now will help you evaluate your vehicle's worth. Now that you know how to gather necessary documents and determine the value of your vehicle, it's just about time sell! <br />

If you gather all the correct paperwork and stay organized there’s no doubt that the process will go over smoothly. We’ve put together a list of the necessary paperwork to get you one step closer to selling your car!<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img alt="Budgeting.png" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/4Eq3vWmbNXM9q3xKlwPRJnZG4ZySwC_H52TNVxZzJUM7sAP5qldXC_1q5M9aQIncuABEnYJ8RGQGnlbnsKDWS_ROrBaj-f2zQUIfG34yKcFtS-QxHYlVdRvY71yhQw3pUYWCk8oG" style="border: none; transform: rotate(0rad);" /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><b>The Title - </b>The first thing you need to do after selling your car is sign the title and give it to the new owner. Both you and the buyer will have to fill out information on the title. Learn more about transferring your title to a new owner <a href="http://www.dmv.org/mn-minnesota/title-transfers.php">here</a>. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Maintenance Records -</b> It’s important for buyers to know they are getting a reliable vehicle. If you have maintenance reports, gather them into one place. If you don’t have any records, most mechanics will keep paperwork on file and you can request a copy from them.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Bill of Sale - </b>A <a href="http://billofsale.net/mn/">bill of sale</a> is a good idea for both buyers and sellers. Although it is not required with the sale of a car in Minnesota, it can still be beneficial, acting as a receipt for the transaction. It can also protect the seller in the event the buyer fails to register the vehicle.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><b>Release of Liability - </b>When there is a change of ownership of any vehicle, it is required that you notify the DMV. This can protect you from being liable for any accident the new driver gets in before the car is legally switched over. Find more information on <a href="http://www.dmv.org/buy-sell/selling-your-car/release-of-liability.php">dmv.org</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Warranty Documents -</b> if your car is still under a manufacturer’s warranty or you purchased an extended warranty for your vehicle, include these documents with the sale of your car. If the car needs any repairs, the new owner will feel confident that the warranty will cover the cost.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>As-is Documentation - </b>If there are no warranties left on your vehicle, make sure the new owner is aware. As-is documentation basically tells the buyer that they are buying the car with <a href="http://www.dmv.org/buy-sell/new-cars/buying-a-car-as-is.php">all issues - known and unknown</a>. They will be responsible for any repairs or issues that may arise with the car over time.</li>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">In Minnesota, we must be prepared for anything on our roads. Drivers of any age should be ready to get themselves out of a dangerous situation, whether it’s a problem with your car, the road, or the weather. Here are some tips to help you avoid driving emergencies.</span></div>

If you do start to slip, take your foot off the accelerator, and try to glide through it. Braking too hard will make it worse, as more weight will shift to the front tires, which is usually where the skid occurs. Steer gently toward where you were wanting to go, but don’t overcompensate. The easiest way to prevent skidding is to drive slowly in those conditions, trust your </span><a href="http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/brakes/brake-types/anti-lock-brake.htm" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ABS brakes</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> if you have them, and give other drivers plenty of space so you have time to react.</span></div>

If you can, downshift or put your car in neutral to naturally slow it down. If you think of it at the time, turning on your hazard lights can also warn other motorists that something is going wrong. If you still need extra power to slow you down, try gently applying the emergency brake (hand brake or foot brake will work). If you don’t have the room or these tips aren’t working, navigate toward something you can rub the side of your car along to act as friction, such as a guardrail, fence, or retaining wall. Although you’ll have serious body damage, it is much safer for you and other drivers than if you were to hit something head-on.</span></div>

First, know that you’ll have 1-2 minutes of floating time before the car fills with enough water to sink. Do not open the doors. When you hit the water, unbuckle your seatbelts and unroll your windows. Calmly instruct children to unbuckle (or unbuckle them quickly once the windows are open), and let them know you’ll all be exiting through the windows.</span></div>

Safely transporting food can come down to what you choose to transport it in. For example, a big bowl of punch loosely covered in plastic wrap sitting on your dashboard won’t cut it, nor will piping hot servings of casserole on less than sturdy paper plates.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Mason jars are great for smaller servings or if you plan on bringing an array of sauces, dips, or salsas. For hot dishes like main entrees, soups, and casseroles, use glass containers that double as an oven and microwave-safe containers for reheating. Again, use a sturdy lid instead of plastic wrap or aluminum foil to safeguard against accidents and spills. Glass or Pyrex containers are the best choices for sturdiness and easy reheating.</span></div>

For cakes and cupcakes, it might be an excellent idea to buy containers specifically designed to carry such baked goods. This can be a particularly good option if you plan on transporting multiple cakes and cupcakes for parties, office potlucks, and other holiday or birthday events.</span></div>

If you are traveling a few blocks, transporting a hot dish in a sturdy container will work, but if you are traveling further, consider this method for proper food safety: Completely prepare food the day before, let it cool down completely, cover and refrigerate properly overnight, and pack it properly for your destination. This will help ensure food safety.</span></div>

Layer a towel on the bottom to both soak up potential spills and to insulate your food. You can also pack in all the necessary tools and keep everything in one place.</span></div>

There are certain facts and habits that can help your child arrive at their destination in comfort and security. Take a look below for our best ideas on traveling safely with your family.</span></div>
<b id="docs-internal-guid-4f87d16e-e8b8-dc6e-eec3-42c37fd8fd09" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The safest place for a car seat is in the center of the backseat. Kids situated here in the center are less likely to be injured than those near windows. For families that have multiple car seats, it’s best to put one car seat in the center and the other next to it.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

A convertible seat with longer shells and slightly high rear-facing weight capacities will work well for transitioning kids from a rear-facing to a front-facing car seat. Depending on a child’s weight, the appropriate time to switch your child to a front-facing car seat is around age two. Recent studies have shown, however, that children under the age of 2 are nearly five times as likely to become seriously or even fatally-injured when in a front-facing seat. </span></div>

Rear-facing seats distribute the force of a collision over the entire body.

Teach them how to change their own oil, how to change a flat tire, how to check tire pressure, when to take a car in for maintenance, etc. These essential skills will help them feel safer and more capable on the road.</span></div>

Help them work towards financing a car on their own or developing good credit if they need an auto loan. This will be an excellent opportunity to help them understand financial responsibility before they head to the next phase of their life. Also, search for student discounts on car insurance for money-saving incentives.</span></div>

Prepare your student by having an emergency stash in their trunk. Keep an extra phone charger or battery, a first aid kit, reflective triangles, flares, a lighter, jumper cables, a flashlight with extra batteries, a multipurpose tool, a tow rope, water, snacks, and whatever else works for your climate. In the winter, pack extra blankets, warm clothing, a shovel, a windshield ice scraper/snow brush, and cat litter. This can seem like a lot, but being prepared for the worst will help your child in the event of an emergency.</span></div>

With so many options out there, it can seem stressful finding the right car for you and your family. Your choice will likely stay with you for at least a few years, so it is a big decision.

This involves reviewing all your monthly expenses to decide on the maximum amount you are willing to spend. When you look at a car's price tag, remember to factor in the overall costs of the car. Consider insurance, upkeep, gas mileage and maintenance as well as the purchase price. </span></div>

Brand new cars are a good investment much of the time, but they don't have the information and reviews available that used models have. If you do decide to purchase a car that has recently been released, wait a few months to check the reviews from owners.</span></div>

They are obnoxious, but with the right tools and method, you can fix a flat tire on your own and be on your way again. Read our how-to guide for changing a flat tire:</span></div>

For on the road emergencies, your car should be supplied with a jack, a lug wrench, a fully inflated spare tire, and your vehicle owner’s manual. These tools, along with other essential car emergency items like a flashlight, gloves, a poncho, and a snow shovel, will be essential and will prevent an emergency situation from ruining the rest of your day. As another preventative measure, ensure that your tires (including the spare) are properly inflated at the right air pressure. Check tire pressure once a month and before you go on long trips with heavy hauls.</span></div>

Turn your hazard lights on as well as any additional reflective and flashing emergency lights to warn drivers of your presence. Don’t park on any curves or inclines. Don’t park on dirt, sand, or grass as your jack could become unstable in the soft ground. Turn on the parking brake as well as the emergency brake to prevent rolling, and stick a wedge (wood, a brick, or a large stone) beneath your tires to ensure your safety. If desired, you can take out your floor mat and kneel on the clean side as you work.</span></div>

Take note that many cars come with compact spare tires that are much smaller and need to be replaced shortly. Align it with the wheel bolts and add your lug nuts. Tighten the lug nuts by hand as much as possible.</span></div>

In this installment, we want to show you a few simple maintenance tasks you can perform at home.</span></div>

This fix only takes about 5 minutes and costs around ten dollars. To start, locate the filter under the hood of your car. (It’s a rectangular box with metal clips on the side.) Open the lid of the box, unclasp the metal clamps, and make a note of which way the filter is facing. Remove the old filter, and replace it with a new one. Close the metal clips when the filter has been replaced.</span></div>

Before you start, remember to change the oil only when the engine has cooled off. Also, familiarize yourself with how to safely handle a car jack before you start. Once you are ready, unscrew the drain plug and empty the old oil into your oil pan. Replace the drain plug once the oil is drained. At the engine, remove the old oil filter with an oil filter wrench. Gently lubricate the rubber gasket on the new filter with fresh motor oil. Fill the new oil filter about two-thirds of the way with fresh oil. Screw in and high-tighten the new oil filter. Using a funnel, fill the engine with new oil. Using your car’s dipstick, double check the oil level. Discard the old oil and oil filter safely.</span></div>

While taking care to see how the old blades connect to the metal arms, lift and remove each windshield wiper blade. Being careful to not bend the new blades or scratch your windshield, insert your new blades. Line the blades up and tightly secure them to your windshield.</span></div>

Depending on how many cylinders your car has, you may find between four and eight plugs. In order to keep track of the order of spark plugs—integral to the function of your car—remove the wire to the first spark plug only. Use a spark plug socket and extension on your ratchet to remove the first spark plug. Install a new spark plug and tighten for a snug, but not overly tight fit. Reattach the spark plug wire, and repeat for subsequent spark plugs.</span></div>

<br />
There are nearly five million registered vehicles in Minnesota. Sadly, many drivers don’t take proper precautions and preventative measures when it comes to their vehicles - many people wait for a problem to take their car to a mechanic. Proper maintenance may not seem like a big deal, but it can help you avoid costly repairs, catch major problems early, and lengthen the life of your car. <br />
<br />
A few easy things car owners can do to be proactive are getting scheduled inspections, changing the oil on time, and checking the tire pressure regularly. Many people try to keep up with these measures, but just don’t know when or how often to check for issues. We’ve made a list of common vehicle maintenance steps and noted when you should be checking for these issues on your car:<br />
<br />
<h3>
Read Your Owner’s Manual</h3>
This is the first step no matter how old your car is, or when you bought it. The owner’s manual contains your suggested regular maintenance schedule for your car. You will also see how often your manufacturer suggests changing your oil, filters, timing belts, and more. Check to see which kind of oil you should be using in your car. If you are using the wrong oil, you could be causing costly damage to your vehicle.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Checking Your Car’s Fluids</h3>
It is important to learn how to check the fluid levels in your car. Even if your manual does not say to regularly look at fluid levels, do not be afraid to check for yourself. If you are running low, add more or get it changed. Most importantly, never ignore a leak.<br />
<br />
<h4>
- Engine Oil</h4>
<i>Check it:</i> Once a month. The old saying was to check your oil every time you fill up with gas, but this is a bit of an overkill. Unless you are not driving your car often or you have an existing issue, once a month is plenty.<br />
<i>Change it:</i> Check your owner’s manual; it varies by manufacturer and model.<br />
<div>
<br />
<h4>
- Transmission Fluid</h4>
<i>Check it: </i>Once a month. <br />
<i>Change it:</i> Every 50,000-100,000 </div>
<div>
<br />
<h4>
- Coolant</h4>
<i>Check it: </i>At least twice a year; once in the summer, once in the winter.<br />
<i>Change it:</i> Every 2-3 years. </div>
<div>
<br />
<h4>
- Brake Fluid</h4>
<i>Check it:</i> When you change your oil. <br />
<i>Change it:</i> Every two years.</div>
<div>
<br />
<h4>
- Power Steering Fluid</h4>
<i>Check it:</i> Once a month. <br />
<i>Change it:</i> Check your manual. Typically, you will not need to replace power steering fluid levels, but some manufacturers recommend topping it off. </div>
<div>
<br />
<h3>
Check Your Battery</h3>
The average car battery life is two to five years. In Minnesota, batteries typically last longer, because batteries are more chemically active under heat, and (as Minnesotans are well aware) we have rather frigid winters - hooray for the cold! It’s always a smart idea to know where your battery is located and to check for leaks or mineral build-up. If you run across some build-up, you can <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Clean-Battery-Corrosion-and-Build-Up">clean it</a> with a battery cleaning brush and some baking soda. You should also keep track of the date your battery was purchased (it’s written on the battery). If it doesn’t seem to be performing well, you can refer to the date to see if you are in need of a charge or battery replacement.</div>
<div>
<br />
<h3>
Change Your Spark Plugs</h3>
Make sure to check for worn-out spark plugs or build-up every 30,000 miles. Typically, a spark plug’s lifespan is around 100,000 miles. Improperly functioning spark plugs are usually a sign that your engine is not working properly. Checking and replacing the spark plugs is not as difficult as it sounds. You can usually follow your owner’s manual to change them yourself pretty easily. <br />
<br />
Making sure your car is safe to drive and keeping up on the maintenance schedule is a very important task for all car owners. Your car is a huge investment and something you rely heavily on for your day-to-day travel and tasks. It’s up to you to keep it running properly for now and hopefully, many years to come.<br />

It can be overwhelming trying to fit your family’s needs with what the market has to offer, but the search isn’t impossible. Here are a few important things to consider as you search for the perfect car for your expanding family.<div>
<br /><h3>
Safety</h3>
For anyone who’s in the market for a car, the number one sought-after feature across the board is safety. Thankfully, many cars come standard with the most up-to-date safety features, but some of the features to be on the lookout for include:<br /><ul>
<li>Front and side airbags to help in the event of an accident</li>
<li>Anti-lock brakes with brake assist to help slow down the car when they detect sudden braking</li>
<li>Automatic braking to slow your car down in the event of a collision</li>
<li>Integrated child safety harnesses which can easily secure the child seat in a car</li>
<li>A rear view camera to watch the road when you back out of a space</li>
</ul>
For the safest family vehicles of 2016, check out these lists for<a href="http://www.kbb.com/best-safety-rated-cars/suv/2016/35/#zipo=3c0ba075222c49aaaa489659cf40ade1"> Kelly Blue Book’s Best Safety Rated SUVs</a> and<a href="http://www.autotrader.com/best-cars/top-7-safest-suvs-228128"> Autotrader.com’s Top 7 Safest SUVs</a>.<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>

<br />Ease of access can be a forgotten concern when you are in the market for a new car, but it can make a world of difference in your comfort. Sliding doors in a mini-van or SUV will allow you to open your doors and load your car while in cramped spaces. If your family requires car seats, bring one along as you go out car shopping. The car doors should open wide enough to easily move and maneuver a car seat in and out. Another convenient feature that will soon feel like a necessity are doors that you can open automatically with a key fob. This will be an especially helpful feature when you have to juggle groceries, a car seat, and kids.<br /><br /><h3>
Size and storage</h3>
<br />You want a vehicle that can not only accommodate your family and their possessions but one that offers flexibility. Do you need a large van to accommodate a big family with enough room to carpool a hockey team? Or would you prefer a spacious yet compact car for easier maneuverability? <br /><br />Consider how much room your family will need for regular storage, including groceries, strollers, musical instruments, bikes, and more. Do you need room for car seats for the baby or sports equipment for your teen athlete - or both? Think about whether your family will use a vehicle for big excursions like camping trips and long road trips or if you are likely to need a more compact vehicle for life in the city.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
Durability and upkeep</h3>
<br />Simply put, cars are a big investment. You want to find a vehicle that can withstand years of wear and tear. In your search, consider car maintenance and family maintenance.<br /><br />Car maintenance is the regular upkeep to keep your vehicle running safely and at its peak performance. Ask yourself, will this vehicle require more than regular car maintenance and checkups? How much of the regular maintenance will be covered by warranty? In the case of used cars, what is in the history report?<br /><br />Family maintenance includes the steps you take to keep your car clean and good shape. Consider searching for easily cleaned or stain-resistant seat covers, removable floor mats, removable cup holder liners, or storage compartments for cleaning supplies.<br /><br />With a list of your family’s priorities, you can successfully set out on a search for the perfect vehicle for your family. Of course, the friendly staff at <a href="http://kuehnmotors.com/">Kuehn Motors</a> are always available to assist you. So get your list ready and stop into Kuehn to begin your search!<br /></div>

There are many things to consider when buying a teenager their first car. Should you buy new or used? Who will pay for it? Where should you go for the best insurance deals? Try not to panic. The tips below will help make this rite of passage a safe and happy one for the entire family.</span></div>

Many parents believe that paying for their own car will make a teen appreciate it more, and others believe their teen is working hard enough that a car can be a reward - and a privilege. Once you decide and make a plan, go over expectations and responsibilities. For example, 12 months with no accidents or tickets could be a long-term goal. It’s up to you if you want to give a reward or punishment if the goals are met or not. Just remember to emphasize safety and responsibility from the start. </span></div>

You can use that as an incentive to maintain a good GPA and save yourself some money. You’ll also need to decide . Either the car itself, gas and/or the insurance. If they’re the expenses that your teen is responsible for, such as insurance, maintenance, and gas. Generally, teens are more likely to follow the rules if the car’s costs come from their own pocket, but teens can’t afford to pay all the expenses of owning a vehicle. Assigning them some of the responsibility is a good way to prepare them for adulthood.</span></div>
