Automotive Tips from Spring Street Automotive Inc: Wiper Blades ? Signs of Wear
Posted September 25, 2015 12:00 PM90% of our driving decisions are based on vision. Anything that impedes your vision can affect your driving safety – including a dirty windshield. In that sense, your wiper blades are an important safety system. Most Quincy drivers will wait until their wipers have failed before they replace them. Then they find themselves in a driving situation around IL when they really need forward visibility only to discover that their wipers are worn or maybe even torn and can’t clear snow or rain from the windshield.
As an important safety system, wiper blades should be replaced BEFORE they fail. Test your wipers at least once a month. If they are not doing the job, your friendly and professional Spring Street Automotive Inc service advisor can replace them for you.

Automotive Tips from Spring Street Automotive Inc: Tire Replacement Overview
Posted September 22, 2015 12:00 PMTires are an expensive purchase, so knowing when tires should be replaced is important for Quincy drivers. Tires will just wear out with normal use. The depth of the tread on your tire determines how well it will stop, start and steer – especially in wet conditions. 4/32th of an inch (3.2 mm) of tire tread is considered a safe amount of tread.
Uneven tread wear can be a symptom of other problems, and simply replacing your tires will not prevent the same uneven wear from happening to the new tires. At Spring Street Automotive Inc in Quincy, we can inspect your tires for excessive or uneven wear. Unusual wear may lead to further inspection of steering, suspension or alignment problems. We can help with necessary repairs and with getting you the right tires for your needs.
