We pledge to eat healthier, exercise more, or finally tackle that home renovation project. But what about our faithful companions, our vehicles?

You know what November means! Time to start to preparing for the holidays. Before you rush over to the mall for some early Christmas shopping, don’t about daylight savings. With daylight savings, your clock, essentially, falls back one hour. What this means for us is darker days and longer nights. Dusk will occur one hour later, which usually means it will be much darker during the hours of our evening commutes from work to home.  Before daylight savings is officially here, and we find ourselves unpleasantly surprised with broken or damaged headlights in the dire dusk of the evening commute, stop by Convoy Auto Repair for an inspection. If your car’s lights are not functioning as they should, you can endanger, not only yourself, but your passengers and other drivers on the road. When the sun goes down, pedestrians might not even be able to see an approaching vehicle with dim lights.  Our team at Convoy Auto Repair will inspect each one of your vehicle’s li ... read more

A fun summer activity is driving on the beach, and as most of us seasoned drivers, we have cruised across all sorts of terrain. Yet, one of the most tricky surfaces to navigate is sand! San Diego is home to many beautiful beaches, and if you are looking to hit the waves, or shall we say sands, this summer, we recommend reading over these safety tips for beach drives:  4-wheel drive is a must! If you are in a sandy situation, 4-wheel drive makes getting out of the jam much easier.  Pack lightly. The heavier your vehicle the more it will sink into the sand.  Before you go, lighten your tire pressure. This way, your tires can roll a little easier. Reduced tire pressure will provide more traction, so you can move easier across the sand.  Stay close to the water! The region between the high tide line and the water is the perfect place to drive, as the sand is packed the hardest.  Keep an eye on the tide. Because it is best to stay close to the water, you w ... read more

We were reminded of this adage due to the particularly wet winter we had. But the dryness of Summer is still far off. So, with some wet weather still to go, we thought we would share some simple tips that will help keep you safer in the wet weather. Rain changes things about driving, and habits that you might have may need to be adjusted. Slow down and increase the distance between yourself and the next car. You have a poorer stopping distance on wet surfaces. Turn on your lights, even during the day. Other cars notice you more quickly with your lights on. When turning, brake before you enter the turn, not during the turn, then accelerate out of the turn. Avoid driving in the ruts that naturally form within lanes by driving just slightly off center from the lane. Water pools in these ruts and you can hydroplane in a deep patch. Take extra care to avoid water where you can't see the bottom. That puddle might be hiding a deep pothole. If they need it, make sure you've replaced ... read more
