Summer Road Trip Maintenance Guide

YourUpdateTV

Road trips are a great way to get out there and explore this summer. And while it’s certainly fun to make unexpected pit stops at roadside attractions along the way, the last thing you want to do is make an unexpected stop because of a problem with your vehicle. Recently, ASE Certified Mechanic, Audra Fordin, partnered with Chevron to discuss some simple tips to help save you time, inconvenience, and money this summer. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: Before hitting the road, remember to polish your headlights. Headlights used to be made out of glass, but nowadays they are made from plastic which can be easily oxidized from the sun, causing a haze to form over the light that can reduce your visibility. If you see cataracts starting to form on your headlights, give them a quick polish. You can find easy headlight restoration kits available at your local auto store or online. Also make sure to check your tires. If you see any bulges, tears or cracks, replace them immediately to avoid a potential blow out. Most tires typically last 3 to 5 years so if yours are in that span or older (you can check the manufacturer’s date on the side of the tire), it’s time to replace them. And of course, check your oil. If you know you’re due for an oil change, have it changed. If you’re unsure, you can always check your oil dipstick – if the oil doesn’t reach about the “add” line or is dark and not golden in color, it’s time to replace it before you leave. Audra recommends Havoline® LIFELONG Full Synthetic Motor Oil, which delivers outstanding performance at any stage in a vehicle’s life, whether you’re driving something new or something with over 75,000 miles on it. It also comes in Havoline’s recyclable Smart Change packaging, reducing plastic waste by 70% compared to traditional quart bottles. In addition, Havoline ® PRO-RSTM Renewable Full Synthetic Motor Oil, is a top-tier, renewable full synthetic motor oil that includes 25% sustainably sourced plant-based oils. It’s the best performing full synthetic oil in the Havoline portfolio and offers superior fuel economy retention to help save on fuel costs. One other great – and easy - fuel saving tip is to use Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner. It’s a fuel additive that will deep clean and protect your entire fuel system, optimize engine performance, and maximize fuel economy to save more with every pour. All you have to do is just pour it into your gas tank once a season before you hit the road and you’re ready to go! Visit www.havoline.com or www.techronclean.com for more information and be sure to check out www.Walmart.com and select Walmart stores for Havoline and Techron products. About Audra Fordin Audra Fordin is an ASE Certified mechanic and fourth generation shop owner at Great Bear Auto in Flushing, New York. As a small business owner, PTA mom and girl scout troop leader, Audra knows how to juggle family life, run a fully staffed, successful auto repair shop and is determined to teach women across the country how to do their own automotive maintenance, which is why she’s also the founder of Women Auto Know and Drivers Auto Know, engaging and hands on workshops where drivers of all skill levels learn how to “pop open the hood and do it themselves.” Audra has made appearances on Ryan and Kelly, Rachel Ray, the Today Show, Inside Edition, and CNN, among several local news appearances, to share car care tips with millions of viewers.

American Businesses Want Secure Borders and a Modernized Immigration System to Help Address Worker Shortages

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/cyDh_POE9fg There might as well be a giant “Help Wanted!” sign over the United States. The economy has bounced back from the pandemic lows, but companies have been struggling to meet their workforce needs to keep up with the surge in demand for everything from household products to cars. At the same time, the crisis level situation on our southern border is not abating, as the U.S. Border Patrol has seen 133,000 more border crossings through April of this fiscal year than during the same period of time in last year’s record-shattering totals. The U.S. currently has approximately 10.1 million job openings, while there are 6 million people unemployed and looking for work. The worker shortfall has also emerged as a key factor driving persistent inflation and higher interest rates. Securing our borders and modernizing our immigration system can help us confront these challenges. Many people wonder given the seriousness of these issues and the polarization in Congress if any real progress can be achieved on border security and immigration reform? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce believes not only that it can be done, but that it must be done. The immigration challenges we face today didn’t arrive at our doorstep overnight; they’ve been around for decades and have only grown in size and severity due to many years of congressional inaction. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is leading the LIBERTY Campaign (Legal Immigration and Border Enforcement Reform This Year) with over 430 national, state, and local business associations. The campaign launched with a letter calling upon Congress to address the crisis at our border and the critical workforce shortage before the year’s end. Many experts believe that expanding legal immigration to the U.S. would help spawn economic output by driving much needed labor force growth at a time when America’s population growth is stagnating. A nationwide media tour was conducted on June 20 th featuring Neil Bradley from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, discussing why Congress cannot afford to wait any longer to secure our borders and modernize our broken immigration system. Topics that Neil Bradley from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce discussed included: How serious our border and legal immigration problems are. What the consequences will be if Congress foregoes fixing the problems on our borders and within our legal immigration system. How a modern, pro-growth immigration system will help address the chronic workforce issues plaguing many American employers today and other economic problems we’re suffering from. Why the Chamber launched the LIBERTY Campaign with over 430 other associations. Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com
