🛞 **DID YOU KNOW?!** 👀

Your tires might be telling you something… and you might not even know what they're saying! 😂

Those little wear bars built into your tire tread are there for a reason. When the tread wears down to those bars, your tire has reached the legal minimum tread depth in many situations—and more importantly, you've lost a lot of the tread you need to safely handle rain, snow, and slippery roads. 🌧️❄️

But here's the kicker…

👉 A tire doesn't have to be bald to be unsafe!

Tire age, uneven wear, cracking, low tread depth, improper inflation, and damage can all affect how your tires perform.

Your tires are the only thing connecting your vehicle to the road, so they're worth paying attention to! 🛞

Want to know what your tires are trying to tell you? Stop by Co-op Auto Center and let us take a look!

We truly love our customers—and especially love the creative ways you show up hauling propane tanks

We can safely say… this one isn’t going anywhere!

BUT, Did you know?
A 100 lb propane cylinder must be transported outside of a vehicle—meaning no sliding it into the back of the old minivan with the dog and heading down the road.

To safely and legally transport a 100 lb cylinder, here’s what you need:
• The tank must have a protective cap or collar (the one pictured has a collar)
• It must be transported upright (in “hot dog” position😂)
• It must be secured in an open-air location such as:

- Truck bed
- Trailer
- a home made hitch-mounted carrier strapped to the back of your Subaru (if you’re reading this no judgement all love😂❤️)
Any safe exterior mount that keeps it outside the passenger compartment
• And finally—it must be properly strapped and secured before leaving

For safety reasons, we are required to visually verify these steps before we can fill any 100 lb cylinder.
We know this is a lot of information, but it all comes down to keeping everyone safe on the road and at home.

Now we’d love your input:
Do you have any propane questions—or anything you’ve ever been unsure about when it comes to tanks, fills, or safety?
Drop your questions in the comments and we’ll turn them into future posts about propane!

Truck Talk Thursday is here!

If it has four-wheel drive, hauls a trailer, heads to deer camp, launches a boat, or gets covered in mud... we want to talk about it.

Here at Co-op Auto Center, we value our customers and want you informed and confident in every situation your vehicle is in. Every Thursday we'll be sharing truck tips, tire advice, towing information, product spotlights, and answering questions that every truck owner has wondered about.

Whether your truck is a daily driver or only comes out for weekends at the cabin, we're here to help you get the most out of it.

So, let's kick things off with a question...

What truck are you driving, and WHY?

Tell us in the comments!

Ford? Chevy? GMC? Ram? Toyota? Jeep? Something else?

No judging...
well... maybe just a little friendly rivalry 😉

Fully cladded undercarriage is a thing now. Good for fuel economy, bad for service technicians!
