You should always take your car to the dealership over the private mechanic. If you go to a dealership, you can always expect a certain level of professionalism, and they typically have all the needed parts so that you will not have to wait for them to be ordered in before they can even begin working on your ride.

Have you been shopping for a new vehicle but aren't sure if an SUV is right for you? There are plenty of benefits to these models, and SUVs come in handy for a lot of things. They are versatile, and they also get pretty good gas mileage despite what some may think. They can take you on an off-road adventure, and they will fit your entire family.

Halloween is an incredible experience that is enjoyed in our city. Everybody has been waiting for it, and it is finally here. Children are ready with their costumes to trick-or-treat from door to door. Therefore, observing road safety tips is advisable for both parents and drivers to ensure you have a fantastic Halloween. Our team here at Ourisman Ford & Lincoln has some tips to be safe:

There are a lot of things we love about the summer time - laying in the grass, barbecues with family and friends, taking a swim with a cool drink - but there's also one thing we really don't like: a hot car cabin. When you've been parked in the sun all day, you're welcomed with a sweltering seat and boiling surfaces. However, with just a couple easy steps, you can keep your car cool and more comfortable.

Taking your beloved dog with you on a road trip is a great idea, sure to bring you both a lot of joy as you hit the road and head off towards your destination, but it definitely requires a bit of preparation first! The ladies at POPSUGAR have some tips for all of us that have never done this before and, thanks to them, we're much more prepared to take our little furry companions with us.

Well, the Top Safety Pick+ award is the highest honor the IIHS can bestow on a vehicle, recognizing exceptional safety features and technologies. 

You probably bought your current vehicle because it is safe, stylish and . The obvious factor for many of us is how it looks.
