Tropical Storm Lala is arriving tonight. Here are 5 quick things you can do now to help protect your vehicle before the wind and rain pick up.

But the most important one isnā€™t about your car: please donā€™t put yourself in danger trying to protect a vehicle. Donā€™t attempt to cross flowing water, and follow guidance from local authorities.

Cars can be replaced. You canā€™t.

Stay safe, Big Island. God bless. šŸ™

Wellā€¦ the GOAT didnā€™t last long. šŸ˜‚

Someoneā€™s picking up the Honda Fit today, and with the weather coming in we figured weā€™d get some fresh wiper blades on it before it leaves.

It only took me 19 years in the car business to become a beam-blade convert. Better late than never.

And if youā€™ve never changed your own wipers before, itā€™s easier than you might think.

Ready for the rain. šŸ¤™

God bless.

Thinking about everyone affected by what happened at Hilo Shopping Center today.

As far as Iā€™ve heard, everyone is okay, and I pray that remains true.

For a small business, something like this can be devastating even when nobody is physically hurt. The bills donā€™t stop just because the doors canā€™t open.

If any of the affected businesses or someone close to them organizes a legitimate way for the community to help, please send it my way. Iā€™ll gladly share it.

In the meantime, letā€™s remember to look out for our local businesses and the families behind them.

These are our people.

God bless.

I stand by it. šŸ˜‚

For a family 4Runner, I think a 3ā€ lift is about perfect. You get the look and extra clearance without making everyday life with it a painā€”especially when youā€™re loading kids and car seats.

This one is even better: one owner, lifted, AND a third row.

Alsoā€¦ August is shaping up to be a pretty important month for Big Island Used Cars. šŸ‘€

Two announcements coming later this month. One big. One even bigger.

God bless.

Iā€™ve been thinking a lot lately about what institutions are actually for.

Churches, businesses, organizationsā€”we build them to accomplish something good together. But I think thereā€™s always a danger that eventually preserving and growing the institution itself can become more important than serving the people it was created for.

I donā€™t have all the answers here. Iā€™m still working through a lot of this myself.

But I increasingly believe that bigger isnā€™t necessarily better. Maybe the right size is the size that still allows us to give ourselves away in service of the people in front of us.

Just a Sunday morning reflection.

God bless.

The number of people whoā€™ve trusted us to buy their vehicles lately has been incredible. Thank you.

I donā€™t believe every car or every personā€™s situation fits neatly into a formula. Sometimes the best thing we can do is sit down, talk story, be transparent with each other and see if we can make something work.

And even if I canā€™t buy your car, Iā€™ll still do my best to give you some useful information while youā€™re here.

Just come talk story. šŸ¤™

God bless.

A good used car isnā€™t just one that drives well today.

Itā€™s one thatā€™s set up to serve you well for years to come.

Hereā€™s one question I think every used car buyer should ask before signing the paperwork.

God bless.

A clean title is an important part of buying a used carā€”but it shouldnā€™t be the only thing you look at.

Lately Iā€™ve been seeing more vehicles with histories that donā€™t match what many buyers would expect from looking at the title alone.

Before you buy, take the time to review the vehicle history and ask questions. An informed buyer is a protected buyer.

Stay safe out there, Big Island.

God bless.
