Buying a car is one of the biggest purchasing decisions you'll make. One of the first choices to consider is whether to buy a new or used vehicle. Each option has its own unique benefits depending on your needs, preferences and budget. In this guide, we'll break down the key factors to help you decide whether a new or pre-owned car is the right choice for you.

At Don Wood Ford, we understand that your vehicle is a major investment. That's why routine maintenance is important to keep it running safely, reliably, and efficiently for years. By staying on top of scheduled maintenance, you can avoid costly repairs, optimize performance, and maintain your vehicle's resale value.

With cold temperatures here, is your vehicle ready for the winter? The cold can zap the power from batteries, worn tires offer no help on slick roads, and engines undergo more stress starting in the cold. Here are a few things you can do to keep your vehicle running smoothly this winter.

The tire you choose for your car determines whether your car will perform at its optimum level or not. As such, it is important to get tires with the correct speed rating for your Athens, OH excursions.

Normally, the speed rating is used to show the maximum speed that the tire can reach when inflated and installed properly. For instance, if the speed rating is Z, it follows that this tire has the capacity to reach the highest speed possible for the car. 

The tires on your vehicle are very important. After all, this is the part of your vehicle responsible for holding you to the road and getting your where you need to be in a safe manner. Just like having your oil changed or having your vehicle inspected, special care should be provided to your tires to ensure that they are not past their life expectancy. When your treads begin to get low, you can find a decrease in road handling.

When your car battery's failing, you want to spot it in advance. The last thing you want is for your battery to run out of power at a random moment, leading to a potentially inconvenient and dangerous breakdown. Keep a close eye for these failing car battery signs.

Have you ever had to give up a dream to pursue something less exciting, but more responsible? That’s what happened to Kela Holmes. In college, Kela had one dream: to become an opera singer. Despite her beautiful and powerful voice, however, financial restraints crushed her dream.

Instead, she signed up for the military. A different path, but one that she felt proud to take because she knew that she would be helping people.

Still, the dream was still there.
