Return your old battery core to the auto parts store for proper recycling and destruction. Often, batteries have a 60 month warranty, and you will receive credit for the months remaining under warranty, but not used. Happy Motoring!

One of my favorite luncheon spots in Omaha is California Taco. Located at 33rd and California, the restaurant has some of the best soft shell tacos in the city. California Taco is open 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and is closed on Sunday. Send me a tweet or e-mail me if your looking for a lunch partner… I love this place! Have you checked your engine coolant levels lately? A low coolant level can cause engine overheating and lead to serious engine damage. Check your coolant overflow tank; the coolant level should be between the “low” and “full” marks. If the level is low, top it off. Never open the radiator or coolant overflow tank when the engine is hot! Happy Motoring!!
