On my drive in to work, occurred to me to mention some of the less than obvious benefits of driving a hybrid. I happened to be driving our Chevy Volt, we also have a Toyota Prius. In addition to the great fuel economy, did you know you don’t even use the traditional brakes above about 10 mph? So guess what? no annoying brake pulsation, noisy brakes, dirty wheels from brake dust and brakes that last on average 100,000 miles. Your non hybrid will have chewed up 2 sets of brakes in that amount of time, to the tune of about $700.00. Spend or save the money for something fun! -Eric

Many of you who have borrowed one of our free loaner vehicles have commented they are surprisingly pleasant to drive. Given their age and mileage, there could be no better testament to the importance of regular maintenance. Your vehicle's most basic need and important appointment is a regular oil change service with vehicle inspection.
