Marque Motors

Nice weather is upon us.  Summer is coming.  Are you planning to travel by car this year?  If so, our technicians highly recommend that you check your tire pressure and tread depth before you leave your home.  Please don’t forget to check your spare tire too!  Your tire pressure information is noted in your driver’s manuel, or usually on the inside of your driver’s side door and/or inside your fuel cap door.

Your child’s safety is very important also while you are on your road trip.  That new car seat you just purchased can be tricky to install for the first time.  If you are having trouble or are wondering in the back of your mind if you clipped that piece into place correctly or is that seat suppose to recline that far?  Please click on our link to visit the Beaverton Police Department’s web page, click community then calendar of events and check out when they are having their car seat workshop clinics.  Their certified child safety seat technicians will install your child’s car seat properly for you.

You have just hopped on the freeway and suddenly “GASP, we’ve forgotten something!” Don’t let the worst feeling in the world happen to you.  Use the checklist below to help assist you so you don’t forget anything and decrease your chances of having an automotive problem on your much needed vacation.
