#5 Most car batteries last about five years so if yours is over 3 years old it’s a good idea to test it, especially if you live in an area with extreme weather. Scorching temperatures take the biggest toll and freezing temperatures can shorten battery life so test your car battery in late fall and again in late spring to ensure it doesn’t need to be replaced. To stretch the life of your battery, avoid making a lot of short trips and charging multiple devices, as these will wear it out faster. If you need advice on where to take it, call ProGuard for a Preferred Service Center in your area.

#4 The summer driving season is here. Whether you’re going camping, to the beach, or on a great American road trip—how you drive can help you save on gas. For most vehicles, fuel efficiency starts to drop once you hit speeds higher than 60 mph. You can improve your gas mileage 10 - 15% by driving at 55 mph rather than 65 mph. If puttering along at 55 is not your thing, avoid jackrabbit starts and Indy-500 highway maneuvers and you can reduce your fuel consumption by as much as 33%. Cruise along this summer and you’ll put less gas in the tank.
