Welcome to “from the Glovebox”. This is the home of McKenzie Motors’ blog and an extension of our social media presence. At McKenzie Motors we’re committed to providing the best customer service experience possible for the Gulf Coast. We serve the areas of Milton, Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Ft. Walton Beach and Pace in Florida and we’ve got a growing base of devoted customers in Mobile and Baldwin counties in Alabama too! If you’re looking for a new Buick or GMC or if you’re in the market for a quality pre-owned domestic or import car, truck, van or SUV we’d love to show you how southern hospitality in the automotive industry should be.
We’ll be posting stories here about nice drives, tips about Buick and GMC vehicles, and general automotive related content. We’ve got some of the most beautiful drives in the country right here on the Gulf Coast. Did you know that most people don’t actually read their owner’s manual when they buy a new or used car? There are often a lot of cool features available on vehicles that folks just don’t know about. What’s the best way to detail your vehicle? Is it different if you’re detailing a car versus a truck? What can you do about your headlights when they start to yellow? These are some of the topics that we’ll be covering right here on “from the Glovebox”.
Here’s a quick tip that was passed along to us. It’s important to check the oil in your car or truck, obviously, and we all know someone who used the old thumb/index finger method to wipe the oil off of the dipstick… messy. We’ve even seen people using blades of grass or trying to fling the oil off but these aren’t really viable options. What we’d suggest is keeping a napkin or paper towel somewhere under the hood like in the battery compartment or, pretty much anywhere that it can be wedged and stay in place. One warning though… don’t tuck it into the exhaust manifold area. This is a fire hazard and very dangerous.
Alright, it’s time to go check the oil. We’ll be back soon!
