Crosse Auto Repair

Well Mother Nature has given us our spring snowstorm early this year. No more snow to worry about... right? Here is a little cartoon to get you thinking about Spring. Hope it makes you smile.  

  All this warm weather has me thinking Spring! Which of course, makes me think of those potholes and the rough driving that happens on the roads during this time of the year. What was it like driving on such bumpy roads? What kind of damage did those roads cause the drivers? Well, they actually had to deal with bad roads quite often. No surprise there. The first automobile tires were similar to a bicycle tire with high pressurized air. The tires, unfortunately, often failed. The picture you see is a metal plug inserted into a tire for when drivers were stranded alongside the road. The plug was designed by The Spitler Puncture Plug Company. This quick fix allowed the drivers to get on the road again until they got the tire fixed properly or replaced

These super cold days make you really want to snuggle up, sip some coffee and enjoy that book you have been trying to read this winter. Enjoy your cup of Joe!  

Heated seats in automobiles.... do you have them? Do you wish you had heated seats? They are a luxury that many of us Wisconsinites have been spoiled with! Heated seats have become an almost necessity. On really cold days, like today, I can vividly recall feeling the intense heat from my seat set on High! To achieve that intense heat an electrical heating element is connected to the car's electrical system. You can choose Low, Med or High for temperature and manually control the level of heat you desire. Some vehicles will have a seat thermostat that will regulate the amount of heat needed based upon the temperature that is set. I don't have this fancy of a seat, but I sure do LOVE my heated seats!
