EVERYTHING IS REDUCED! Save $$$ WEDNESDAY Ends Jan. 30! DIY vehicle maintenance tasks During the global COVID-19 pandemic, ma- ny people looked for ways to save money. One way to live a frugal life is to take on more projects. In addition to lawn and garden upkeep and minor home improvements, a num- ber of people may be able to tackle some auto repair and maintenance jobs themselves. Performing routine vehicle maintenance tasks on one's own is an ideal way to reduce automotive expenditures. The following are several vehicle maintenance jobs skilled DI- Yers may be able to handle on their own. • Replace the air fil- ter. An air filter should be changed annually or more frequently if you reside in a dry, dusty climate. A clogged filter can stress the vehicle's air conditioning system and reduce heat capacity in the winter. Check the location of the air filter in the owner's manual; pay attention to how it is placed before removing. Then replace it with a clean fil- ter that can be purchased for around $15. • Replace the wiper blades. When wiper blades are worn out, visibility in rainy or snowy weather is reduced. Choose a quality wiper blade, as they usually are made with high-quality rubber, clean bet- ter and have more UV protec- tion than manufacturer-pro- vided blades. Follow the in- stallation instructions on the package, and be sure to refer to the particular manufactur- er's buying guide to get the right size for your make and model of vehicle. • Replace headlight bulbs. Replacing headlight bulbs is a fairly easy project and will only take around 10 minutes to do after you pur- chase the right bulbs for your vehicle. Each vehicle is dif- ferent, but many bulbs are housed inside of a bulb hold- er, which is shaped like a trap- ezoid with three wires coming out of it, advises U.S. News & World Report. Remove the old bulb and put in the new. Plug the wires back in and test to see if the headlight works. The above automotive tasks are just some that people can try themselves to save time and money. Why is tire rotation so important? Vehicle owners need to keep maintenance on the mind to ensure their cars and trucks are operating at peak capacity. Various compo- nents should be checked and serviced at key intervals. Oil changes and fluid top-offs are part of routine maintenance, but it can be easy to forget about other important parts of the vehicle, including tires. Rotating tires is vital to their upkeep. Bridgestone Tires advises that tire rotation involves routinely reposition- ing a vehicle's tires in specif- ic patterns from front to back and side to side. According to Big O Tires, the front tires tend to wear on the outside edges because the tire leans over when a driver turns a cor- ner. The rear tires just follow the front ones, so they usual- ly wear more evenly. By leav- ing tires in place, the outside edges on the front tires will wear down much faster than the rest and those tires will need to be replaced sooner. Rotation may be required by tire warranties. Rotation also keeps the tires working prop- erly. Experts generally advise tire rotation every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, even if they do not show any signs of wear. It is challenging to determine if weather treads are uneven or how much wear has been sus- tained just by looking at them. Rotating tires can prolong the life of tires and decrease how frequently they need to be re- placed. Rotating tires keeps the tread depth uniform and helps maintain traction and consis- tent handling across all four tires. Bridgestone says the tire rotation pattern that is best for a particular vehicle depends on the type of tire being used. Patterns are rec- ommended by the standard- izing body of the tire indus- try, called The Tire and Rim Association, Inc. Individuals can consult with professional mechanics about the proper way to rotate tires. Many tire manufacturers or automotive stores that have sold custom- ers tires also will do tire rota- tions — some free of charge. In addition to proper trac- tion, minimizing uneven tire treads causes the vehicle to be more balanced, advis- es Wrench, a mobile auto re- pair and maintenance compa- ny. This enables the driver to have more control even when roads are slippery. Tire rotation is an important component of vehicle mainte- nance. Check with a qualified automotive professional to see if it's time to have your vehi- cle's tires rotated. More charges added after last week's chase By Andy Heuring More charges have been added to a St. Louis man ar- rested last week on a charge of driving without a license. Late Wednesday night, Jan- uary 13, Ezequiel Rubio Gar- cia, 24, was stopped by Pike County Deputy Sheriff Jarrod Simmons after area residents reported an SUV with large taillights driving in and out of their driveway. Simmons found Garcia driving slowly on Highway 64. It was in the area where earlier in the day two men had abandoned a car with 155 pounds of marijuana and 3,700 pesos in Mexican money, and then fled into the woods near the Pike-Dubois County line on Highway 64. Indiana State Police said they had chased the car at high speed on I-64 and that it had turned off of I- 64, then drove north on High- way 161 through Holland at more than 100 mph. A fter a near crash, State Police ter- minated the pursuit. A few minutes later, a Pike County resident called and told police two men drove in- to their driveway and then ran into the woods. Two counts of assisting a criminal were added to the charge of operating without a license. Assisting a criminal is a level 6 felony. According to police re- cords, Garcia told police he was offered $1,500 to drive to Pike County and pick up two men, but he didn't know their names. A $12,500 cash bond was paid to have Garcia released from the Pike County Jail. individual grinder stations are more economical than most septic system installations. "It would help out both of us," said Klipsch. The next city council meet- ing is set for 6:30 p.m. Mon- day, February 1 in the meet- ing facility next to City Hall.
