Happy cars drive better…. Refreshed Mamas feel better

I took our car in for a tune-up yesterday. Six hours and quite a few buckeroos later, our faithful little car had fresh oil, a new battery, new front brakes, freshened rotor pads and lots of replaced wires, plus and caps.

Praying for the Kostjuks
