Whenever there's rain in the forecast, all of us at Napleton Lincoln in Glenview in Glenview, IL like to remind customers to slow down their driving speeds. Fast speeds contribute to hydroplaning, the condition in which water builds up under the tire faster than it can be dispersed, causing the vehicle to slide atop the water, making the driver lose braking and steering control.

In the Glenview area, taking a drive is usually painless and safe for most motorists on the roads and highways. However, every driver should still have these important items in the vehicle in case of unpredictable roadside emergencies:

• Flares - These are useful to alert other cars to an oncoming vehicle that is stalled. 

The timing belt is located in the car engine. You can find it by looking under the timing cover at the front of the engine in most vehicles. However, some vehicles are designed with a different placement. The timing belt holds the camshaft and crankshaft together so that the two rotate at the same time at the correct rate.

Did you know that you could use a compact temporary spare tire or a full-size spare tire in the case of an emergency? When you think of a spare tire, you might only imagine the "donut" tire that can be stored in the trunk, but you have multiple options, and there are pros and cons to both.

In addition to the money you spend up front to purchase a vehicle and to retain that vehicle on a monthly basis, there are some routine maintenance items that you need to address in order to keep your vehicle functioning optimally and to prevent it stalling out on the side of the road. 

Over time the headlights on your vehicle will eventually begin to dim and provide you with less light. This means it is now time to get yourself some new bulbs, especially right now with winter settling in, bringing the early sunsets.
