Know Your Towing Limits in Sacramento

Some Sacramento drivers figure that anything they can attach to their trailer hitch can be towed by their vehicle. Nope. If you're going to do any towing around Sacramento, you should be aware of safety issues, California towing laws and potential liability.Understanding tow ratings is important for safe towing.

Fall and Spring Inspection at Made In America Made In Japan

Good vehicle care for us Sacramento residents has always meant taking our vehicles in every spring and fall for a check-up. Vehicles needed routine maintenance to prepare them for the changes in weather. Today's vehicles aren't quite as sensitive to seasonal changes. Older vehicles required different weights of oil for summer and winter. But today's engines can run on the same oil all year. Both the engines and the oils have been improved.Antifreeze—or coolant as it's also called—protects the engine from both freezing and hot temperatures and thus is required by the engine year-round. Modern coolants don't have to be changed as often as they did in the past, but your owner's manual has a recommendation for when it should be replaced to extend cooling system life.Getting a spring and fall checkup at Made In America Made In Japan in Sacramento for your vehicle is still good auto advice.First of all, there is a lot of preventive auto maintenance ... read more
