Make Your Summer Road Trip EASY!

Are you planning a road trip this summer? Whether you are traveling to a fun destination with your kids or are going to visit friends or family, summer is a great time for a road trip. With the kids out of school and the warmer weather, it makes the ideal time to travel with your family. As your family-owned car dealership in California, MO, we know how much fun road trips can be! Take a look below for some tips to make your adventures a little easier this summer!

Entertain the Kids

Making memories with your family is what a road trip is all about! Help make sure they are fond memories by keeping your kids entertained during your adventures. Road trip games, music, and other entertainment options are key for happy travelers! Your kids may get tired of one entertainment method fairly quickly and it's important to have the next ready to go.

Stay Full and Hydrated

Pack plenty of snacks for your road trip. Many travelers get hungry while on the road. Stopping for a fast food meal or gas station snack can get expensive. Save money and bring your own snacks in the car. Consider packing a cooler with drinks for your family, as well. It's important to stay well hydrated when you are out of your normal routine and traveling.

Distribute Evenly when Packing

When packing your ride for your family excursion, think about weight distribution. An even load can help your vehicle drive straighter down the road. If a ton of weight is on one side, it can be hard on your suspension, as well. Try to think about passenger comfort when packing the car. You don't want everyone to be cramped in the back - this may lead to some cranky passengers!

Plan your Route

Before you leave on your road trip, try to map out your route. This can help give you a good idea of your arrival time, and where stops can be made along the way. Ensure there are plenty of gas stations along your route and if there's not plan accordingly. Also look for road construction in the areas in which you plan to travel to help reduce the chance of being stuck in traffic.

Prepare Your Ride

Do a check of your vehicle before you hit the road for your trip this summer. Ensure your tank is full, your oil is fresh (and full), and your tires have a good amount of tread left. This can help you get to and from your destination safely!

Now that you know these road trip tips, you're ready to start planning your getaway. Whether you are going somewhere over the upcoming holiday weekend or are planning a longer getaway with your family, our California, MO car dealership is here for you. Bring your ride by for a quick maintenance check. We can do an oil change and make sure your tires are ready for your upcoming adventures! We look forward to helping you get on the road this summer!

Benefits of Washing Your Car

Taking care of your vehicle is one of your duties as a car owner. It's a great way to keep your investment looking good. Rejuvenate that new car pride each time you wash your ride. If you are looking to buy a car in mid-MO, we can help you find the perfect one for you and your family. Our family-owned car dealership in California, MO is here for all of your car buying needs!

Remove Damaging Dirt

Dirt particles can wear down the protective clear coat on your vehicle. This coating helps to protect the paint and keeps it looking nice. Over time dirt and other debris can wear this down. Washing your vehicle can help to clean the damaging dirt off your ride.

Clear View for the Driver

With a clean car, the driver can see more clearly out all windows. The windshield, rear window, and side windows are all important places for a driver to be able to see. Driving conditions are ever changing and being about to clearly visualize everything around the vehicle can increase safety. Wash your ride for a clear view when driving your vehicle.

Promote Fuel Efficiency

Dirt particles and mud can create a drag on your vehicle as it moves down the road. This air drag can actually increase your fuel usage. Don't pay more at the pump, wash your vehicle on a regular basis!

Take Pride

It feels good to drive a clean, shiny car around. Take pride in your investment and show it some love. Washing your car can help you feel good about your ride and give you an extra boost of confidence!

Maintain Vehicle Value

Washing your ride on a regular basis can help prevent scratches and a worn down clear coat caused by dirt. Dust, dirt, and other debris can create small scratches in your clear coat and eventually wear down through the paint as well. This will make your vehicle have imperfections that may stand out, when it comes time to sell. Help keep your vehicle value as high as possible by washing it on a regular basis!

Now that you've learned some of the benefits of washing your car on a regular basis, you're ready to get the soap and water ready! Whether you prefer to hand wash or go to an automatic car wash, there are many options when it comes to cleaning your ride this spring. If you're dreaming of a new ride to wash up, stop by Spieler's Inc. today! Our sales team can help you find the perfect ride to enjoy each and every time you wash it!

Buckle Up, Phone Down - Make Our Roadways Safer

Driving a vehicle is a major responsibility. Here at Spieler's Inc., we care about the safety of all of our customers, friends, and family. As a driver, it's your duty to help make the roads a safer place for everyone. Distracted driving leads to a number of vehicle crashes and injuries each and every year. Help make Missouri roads safer by participating in the Buckle Up, Phone Down campaign.

What is #BUPD

BUPD stands for Buckle Up, Phone Down and it's the driving force behind making our roads a safer place for all. Pledge to always buckle your seat belt when a vehicle is moving AND leave your phone down if you are driving. 688 people died on Missouri roads in 2016 - 62% were unbuckled. A seatbelt restraint can help save lives! It's important to increase your chance of survival should you be involved in a collision. Crashes involving cell phone use rose by 11% in 2016, as well. It's an epidemic and it needs to stop. Any text message can wait until you have safely arrived to your destination. When you look away from the road to glance at your phone - even for a second - you are taking your attention away from driving. The roadway conditions around you can change in a split second and you may be caught off-guard, especially if you aren't even looking at the road!

Take the pledge to #BUPD at www.modot.org/BuckleUpPhoneDown.

Tips to Stick to #BUPD

1) Make a game of it. As you and your family gets into a vehicle, encourage everyone to buckle their seat belts before the car goes into drive. Make buckling up more fun by racing to see who can buckle their belt first!

2) Keep a picture of a loved one close. Consider putting a picture of your family or other loved ones on your dash or visor. This is a great reminder of people you care about and who count on you to make it home. If you are tempted to use your phone while driving, think about your loved ones.

3) Turn your phone off. If you are tempted to use your phone while driving your vehicle - eliminate the distraction and turn your phone off. There are apps available to make driving safer. These apps can turn off all notifications and some will even send an auto-response message that you are driving to anyone who texts you while driving.

Now that you've learned more about the #BUPD campaign and how to avoid distracted driving, you can help make the roadways a safer place. It's simple - buckle your seatbelt and put the phone down while driving. As your trusted car dealership in mid-MO, we want you to remain safe on the roads.
