Halloween Safety Tips

by rolfsimportcom on October 29, 2010

pumpkin Halloween Safety Tips

It’s that time of the year when children and the young-at-hearts dress up in costume and hit the streets for trick-or-treating and Halloween fun. Our crew at Rolf’s wants to make sure that your Halloween this year isn’t only fun, but also safe. So we’ve provided this list of Halloween safety tips for you.

Bright costumes – Make sure that your and/or your children’s costumes are bright enough to be visible to drivers on the road. If you need to, wear some reflective gear.

Safe costumes – Make sure that costumes are short enough so that you or your children won’t trip on them. If wearing masks, make sure that it is comfortable enough to allow breathing and that the eyeholes are big enough and fit correctly to allow the best vision.

Be visible – Carry flashlights, glowsticks, etc. to make yourself even more visible to motorists.

Safe driving – Pay extra attention while driving, especially in residential neighborhoods. Drive slower than the posted speed limit. Limit distractions while you’re driving, like talking on cell phones, eating, playing loud music, etc.

Rolf’s would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween!!

October is Car Care Month

by rolfsimportcom on October 18, 2010

new care care 160x124 October is Car Care MonthCelebrate Fall Car Care Month in October by getting your vehicle in shape for the cold weather approaching and protecting your mobile investment. Rolf’s recommends taking care of simple maintenance now to avoid costly repairs down the road.

Making your vehicle last longer makes good financial sense-by simply budgeting the equivalent of just one car payment you could cover the entire years worth of basic maintenance.

Basic Fall Car Care maintenance includes checking the oil, filters and fluids, the belts and hoses, lights, brakes, tires and air conditioning,wheel alignment and checking the battery.

The mission is simple. When your vehicle is properly maintained it will last longer, run better and hold its value longer. But more importantly, it will keep you and your passengers safe and sane on the road.

Be Safe!
