What gets wetter the more it dries?
(Scroll to the end for the punchline… and this month’s specials.)
This July, we’re hitting the trails and the tune-ups. In this issue: summer car care tips, community events, and a celebration of our incredible teammate Pedro’s 7-year work anniversary. Whether you’re planning a weekend in the mountains or prepping for back-to-school, we’ve got your car—and your calendar—covered.
Camping isn’t just about what you pack—it’s about how you get there.
This past weekend, I headed into the mountains for a little fresh air and perspective. Somewhere between the highway climbs and that final bumpy forest road, it hit me: how grateful I was that my car handled it all without issue. No dashboard lights. No weird sounds. Just smooth sailing up steep grades and winding turns.
It’s easy to overlook your vehicle when you’re planning a trip. We think about the tent, the snacks, the views—but your car is what carries it all. And when you’re heading somewhere remote, being prepared isn’t a luxury—it’s a must.
That’s why this month, we’re highlighting simple, essential emergency kit items that can make all the difference if something goes sideways:
Jumper cables or a portable jump starter
Coolant, oil, and wiper fluid
Tire inflator or patch kit
Flashlight with batteries
Backup phone charger (battery-powered)
First aid kit, blanket, snacks, and water
A basic tool kit (plus duct tape—you’ll thank me later)
If you’re planning a trip or just want peace of mind, let us know. We’ve got a full camping car checklist we’re happy to share. After all, every great trip starts with a vehicle that’s ready for anything.
