  • Auto Correct: Getting Ready to Ride Podcast

    Are you traveling to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving? Taking a trip to the beach or the mountains? Is your car ready?


    Allison Walker, The Lady Auto Mechanic, ACE Certified, gives suggestions for prepping your car for a trip.

    https://twitter.com/TheLadyAutoMechhttps://www.facebook.com/theladyautomechanic78/ https://www.instagram.com/the_lady_auto_mechanic/


    Before you drive:

    ·      Check oil and filter; Check fluids; Check hoses for any swelling, cracks, for softness.

    ·      High and low beam headlights.

    ·      Air up the regular tires and the spare tire. Do you have a spare? If not, get a can of fix flat or a tire plug kit with a portable compressor. Check tires tread and look for signs of strain, bulges, or other damage. Tire pressure, don’t over inflate.

    ·      Wipers and wiper fluid.

    What to have in the car with you:

    ·      Maybe a portable jump machine.

    ·      Sunglasses

    ·      Bring towels for cleaning dirty windshields, spills, etc.

    ·      Make sure your owner’s manual is handy.

    ·      Spare fluids.


     While you drive:

    ·      Get a spare key for the car and keep it in your wallet or elsewhere on your person in case you lock your keys in the car.

    ·      Always fill your gas tank when it is half full. Don’t wait too long.

    ·      When traveling always look at the weather ahead of you. If you're from the south and heading north, you don’t want to run into ice while running summer tires that we can run year round

    ·      Try to avoid peak hours of Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving. Drive in the morning.

  • Auto Correct: Parallel Parking

    Do you dread parallel parking? Are you proud of your skill? Are you thrilled you have parking assist on your new car? 


    There are lots of tips and tricks to parallel parking.

    1.    Make sure you have 1 and a half car lengths space to park.

    2.    When you’re alongside the front car – look over your shoulder to see the front parked car’s bumper in your back side window – or your back bumpers are even or your side mirrors are even -  if you and the front parked car are the same size vehicles

    3.    Turn the wheel to the right and angle back looking into your left side mirror until you see the front/road side bumper of the rear parked car

    4.    Turn the wheel to the left to straighten out, and back straight in until your right side mirror covers your view of the front parked car’s left tail light.

    5.    Turn the wheel to the left to get your car parallel to the curb using your right side mirror to site down the curb or edge of road.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4LcfZeS4qw

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpo6fcaWfC4


    Do you have parking assist? Or Active Park Assist?

    The car has sensors to scan for available parking spots.

    1.    You push the button as you cruise for a spot.

    2.    The message center lets you know and chimes when it finds one.

    3.    You then put the car in reverse, lift hands off the stirring wheel WHILE operating the brake and gas

    4.    You’re parked in 15 to 30 seconds.
