If you have allergies, you know that few things are more uncomfortable than spring months in the Salt Lake Valley. As the yellow particles fill the air, you’re left sneezing and wheezing and wishing for a new season. To make matters even worse, pollen can also infiltrate your car both inside and out. If left…
We’ve all read the automotive user manuals and heard from mechanics who encourage us to change motor oil motor every 3 months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. It’s the sort of advice that’s become mainstream—such an ingrained part of our culture that we no longer question why or how it came into being. In…
