How to Wash Your Car Like a Pro

Posted by Poquet Auto on Mar 21, 2017 1:23:00 PM

Taking care of your vehicle is worth it. Regular washing not only makes it nicer to spend time in your car, it can also boost the car’s resale value down the road, especially in harsh weather climates like we find here in Minnesota.

Washing your car may seem like a simple process, but doing it right isn’t always as straightforward. If you use the wrong chemicals or materials, you can do more harm than good.

The process of “pairing” a phone to your car relies on Bluetooth wireless technology, which creates a secure local network perfect for short-range connections.

These connections allow you to control infotainment systems and hands-free calling. In order to successfully pair a phone with your car, both the phone and your vehicle must be Bluetooth compatible.

What To Do If Your Tire Pressure Warning Light is On

Posted by Poquet Auto on Mar 7, 2017 10:17:52 AM

Our service department team has been taking numerous calls about tire warning lights lately. Known as the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), the indicator light is a horseshoe-shaped light with an exclamation point found on your dashboard.

Posted by Poquet Auto on Feb 23, 2017 10:58:55 AM

Usually, at this time of the year, we’re still in winter driving mode. However, the recent warm weather has most of us thinking spring.

That may change, and soon. This evening’s storm is expected to drop 4-12 inches of snow in the Twin Cities. South of the cities, other areas of the state may get up to 18 inches of snowfall.

The storm will come on the heels of some very rare February warmth. Wednesday brought the sixth day in a row of record highs in the Twin Cities, where the temperature got up to 58, breaking a record of 57 from 1930.

Regardless of how much snow we get with this storm, let’s all remember our winter driving tips and stay safe out on the roads.
