Have you checked out the price of new vehicles at Powell car dealers? Ouch! Add financing and insurance and a new ride may not seem so attractive. A lot of Powell, Ohio, folks are hoping to make their cars last a lot longer.
Fortunately, with the current state of automotive engineering and manufacturing, there's no reason a modern vehicle can't be made to last for a 150,000 miles (250,000 kilometers) or more for smart Powell drivers.
The old adage: 'a stitch in time saves nine' is really true for Powell residents when it comes to car maintenance. A great example is coolant service.
Over time, coolant becomes corrosive and actually starts to damage your radiator and other parts. Smart Powell drivers have their cooling system service taken care of right on schedule at Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Powell.
