Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that actually touches the road.

That tiny contact patch is responsible for helping you steer, brake, and stay in control—so giving your tires a little attention can go a long way.

Checking your tire pressure regularly is quick, easy, and can help your vehicle perform the way it was designed to.

When was the last time you checked yours?

🐾 Keep Your Furry Friends Safe This Summer 🐾

A quick stop can turn dangerous faster than most people realize. Even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside a parked car can climb to life-threatening levels in just a few minutes.

If you're running errands, the safest choice is to leave your pets at home in the air conditioning—or bring them somewhere pet-friendly where they can go inside with you.

We're proud to share our community with great local pet lovers like Whiskers & Wuffs, who know that our four-legged family members deserve the very best care. ❤️

Let's work together to keep every tail wagging and every purr going strong this summer.

🐶🐱 Stay safe, stay cool, and give your furry friends an extra treat from all of us at Gappa Automotive.

🚗 Did you know one of the most important safety features in your vehicle was never meant to be exclusive?

When Volvo introduced the modern three-point seat belt in 1959, they made a remarkable decision—they opened the design so other automakers could use it, too.

Instead of keeping the technology to themselves, they chose to put safety first.

Today, that simple invention has helped protect millions of drivers and passengers around the world and remains one of the greatest advancements in automotive history.

Sometimes the biggest innovations aren't the flashiest—they're the ones we use every single day without thinking twice.

It's the middle of summer, you're headed out on a long drive... and suddenly you have to make a choice.

You can only keep **ONE** for the entire trip:

❄️ Air Conditioning

🎵 Music

There's no wrong answer... but we definitely think one is going to be a lot more popular than the other. 😄

🌧️ A rainy drive calls for more than just turning on your headlights.

When roads are wet, your tires have less traction, which means it takes longer to slow down and come to a complete stop. Giving yourself a little extra following distance can make a big difference when traffic suddenly changes.

A few rainy-day reminders:
🚗 Slow down.
🚗 Leave extra space between vehicles.
🚗 Make sure your tires and brakes are in good condition.

Drive smart, stay alert, and get where you're going safely.

Rainy days have a way of revealing things we'd rather not find out while driving. 🌧️

If your windshield wipers are leaving streaks, chattering across the glass, or missing spots, it might be time for a fresh set. Good visibility isn't just about convenience—it's an important part of driving safely.

Now we're curious...

💬 How would you rate your windshield wipers right now?

🟢 Like new
🟡 Getting the job done
🟠 Streaky but surviving
🔴 They should've been replaced months ago 😅

: How far can one car really go? 🌍🚘

Think your odometer has some high numbers? The world record for the highest mileage on a personal vehicle belongs to a guy named Irv Gordon, who clocked an unbelievable 3.2 million miles on his 1966 Volvo P1800!

That is the equivalent of driving around the entire Earth 120 times! 🤯

What was his big secret to making a car last long enough to reach the moon and back a few times? Regular, basic maintenance and never skipping an oil change.

You don't have to aim for 3 million miles, but keeping your vehicle running safely for years to come is exactly what we do best. Let the team at Gappa Automotive handle your regular check-ups so you can keep racking up those worry-free memories! ✨
