Your brakes are one of your car's most important operating systems. However, braking the wrong way will put undue stress on these critical components, leading to possible failure. Here is a list of five bad braking habits to stop today — before you can't stop at all. 1. Riding Your Brakes The biggest danger of riding your brakes is the real possibility of creating too much heat. Under these conditions, pushing the brake pedal won't build up the necessary pressure in the system, causing your brakes to fail. Brake fade also occurs when heat causes a chemical reaction that creates gas bubbles between pads and rotors, reducing overall efficiency. more In addition to these immediate effects, the long term effects of riding your brakes lead to serious mechanical issues. Your pads and shoes are designed to wear down with use. Riding the brakes speeds up this process significantly. Over time, the heat buildup will damage components. Rotors can warp, and non-metallic parts such as seals can melt, causing leaks. 2. Hard Braking Hard braking is a habit that isn't doing your brake system any good. Unless you're going down a very steep hill, stop it. Regularly stomping on the brakes is a sign you're accelerating too hard or not paying enough attention to traffic — or both. Smooth acceleration and braking will do more than ensure your brakes last longer. This good habit helps save on fuel costs and will keep you safer behind the wheel. 3. Resting Your Foot on the Pedal Some people have a bad habit of resting their foot on the brake pedal. With this practice, you may accidentally hit the brakes while driving. Not only is this a dangerous situation for you, but it's also a problem for other drivers because any sudden stops could lead to a collision, so rest your foot on the floor instead. 4. Not Coasting If you slam on the brakes just as you get to the red light, you're going to add stress to your brakes. Next time, try coasting instead. When you're coming up to an intersection, lift off the accelerator and let the car slow down on its own. Who knows, by the time you coast to a stop, the traffic light may have turned green, and you won't even need to use the brakes at all? Looking ahead to anticipate traffic situations is a terrific habit and will prevent you from braking too soon, saving the brakes for when you really need them. 5. Not Getting Serviced Get your brakes serviced regularly by a certified technician. These experts undergo frequent training, so they are always up-to-date on every aspect of your car's vital systems. Brakes must be serviced to ensure they function correctly, and your vehicle is safe to drive. Have your brakes inspected if you notice any signs of wear, including sticking or seizing up, or whenever you hear unusual brake noises. Many drivers don't know how to brake properly and practice bad habits. Use these tips to stay safe on the way. Image via Pixabay.com

With spring just around the corner, it's time to prepare your Jeep for warm-weather road trips and off-road adventures. You give your house a thorough spring cleaning, and you should do the same for your Jeep. Here are six tips to help make sure your Jeep is ready for anything. 1. Wash the Undercarriage Your Jeep's undercarriage takes on a lot of dirt and grime throughout the winter months. When all of this muck builds up, it makes your Jeep heavier and can cause corrosion. To make sure that the undercarriage is thoroughly clean, use a pressure washer. You should also pressure wash under the Jeep's fenders. Consider investing in some off-road fenders, which will reduce the amount of mud that can build up underneath. more 2. Keep Washing Of course, the rest of your Jeep deserves a thorough washing as well. Winter debris can cause as much damage to your Jeep's paint as it does to the undercarriage. While you're washing your Jeep, make sure to clean the headlights and taillights. Hand washed lights look and perform better than dirty lights. Make sure the windows are clean and free of streaks that can interfere with visibility. After your Jeep is clean, apply a coat of wax to help preserve its paint. 3. Do a Maintenance Check After your Jeep is free of mud and grime, you should pop open the hood and inspect the engine compartment. Look underneath the engine to make sure there is no damage. Also, keep an eye out for worn parts and hoses and wires that may have come loose. You can also check the oil and other fluids and top them off if necessary. It's also a good idea to change your Jeep's oil. 4. Clean the Inside The inside of your Jeep can get as dirty as the outside, especially if you enjoy off-roading. Dust and mud can cause permanent damage to interior surfaces and carpet. Slush mats and cargo mats can help protect these surfaces and make cleaning the interior much more manageable. 5. Install New Wiper Blades Icy windshields can cause excessive wear and tear on your Jeep's windshield wipers, making them virtually useless. Luckily, replacing wiper blades is an effortless task. You should also make sure that there is plenty of washer fluid in the reservoir. 6. Prepare for Off-Roading You never know what could go wrong when off-roading, so it's crucial for you and your Jeep to be as prepared as possible. If you plan on traversing sandy terrain, it's a good idea to reduce air pressure in your tires by 10 to 12 pounds. This makes your Jeep less likely to get stuck. For rocky conditions, you should outfit your Jeep with rock rails. Be sure to pack a tire repair kit, a jump start kit, and a tire jack. These are just some of the things you can to do to make sure your Jeep is ready for the spring season. By taking these steps, you'll be able to drive your Jeep with confidence. Image via Pixabay.com

If you're an off-roading enthusiast, you may have heard about the Trail Rated badge given to vehicles that can handle all types of terrain and trails. Many of the vehicles in the Jeep lineup have earned this impressive honor. Take a closer look at what makes an SUV qualify for the badge and how such a car handles even the toughest terrain. All About the Trail Rated Badge The Trail Rated badge is more than just a badge. It's something that represents your Jeep's ability to handle any type of challenge, whether you're taking it out for an off-roading adventure or packing it full to head out on a campout in the mountains. When a Jeep bears the badge, it represents a commitment from the manufacturer that this model can help you discover what limits you have and keep going right on past them. more Grueling Tests in Five Categories Before a Jeep becomes Trail Rated, it must pass a grueling test in five key categories. These categories are Traction, Water Fording, Maneuverability, Articulation, and Ground Clearance. In the Traction category, a vehicle must showcase its ability to handle unpredictable and harsh driving conditions. Jeep uses Water Fording to gauge a vehicle's ability to move through bodies of water that other vehicles simply can't handle. To pass this test, a Jeep's body openings and electrical connections are sealed up tight for protection. The car will also have an air intake that is positioned higher to prevent damage as it drives through deep puddles, streams, and creeks. For a car to pass the Maneuverability test, it must be able to navigate around debris, dodge obstacles, and veer around tight gaps. Optimized wheelbases and precise steering make Trail Rated Jeep models more maneuverable in all driving situations. Articulation is important when you're off-roading and driving on more traditional roads, as it ensures that the wheels remain engaged and stable, even when a tire pulls away from the surface of the ground. If your automobile aces the Ground Clearance test, it will safely navigate terrains without damaging the underbody. Before a Jeep can pass in this area, it must undergo testing in approach, breakover, and departure angle maximization. The Importance of the Trail Rated Badge For decades, Jeep has remained one of the top brands when it comes to making vehicles that handle rough terrain so well. The testing to earn a Trail Rated rating starts at the Jeep US-based headquarters and ends in some of the areas of the world that contain the most challenging terrain. The manufacturer wants to make sure that every Trail Rated Jeep can handle anything you may throw at it while striving for capabilities that transform the way people go off-roading. As long as customers want to take their vehicles on adventures, Jeep will continue to make sure they have the right models to handle their every need. Take one of these Trail Rated badge-winning Jeep vehicles for a test drive at Fremont Motors. You can choose from all the top models featuring Jeep's powerful four-wheel-drive system and the latest features for comfort, style, and driving performance. Image via Pixabay.com

When you're looking for the perfect vehicle, the decision between a new or used car is a daunting task and typically a money issue. You may not want to spend an exorbitant amount of money on a vehicle when there are great used models that provide a much more affordable option. You may be experiencing worry, though, that you may have less life in a used vehicle and you may run the risk of spending the money saved on repairs. However, there is a best-of-both-worlds solution: a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle. Here are four reasons to consider spending a little extra on a CPO model. Inspected by the Manufacturer What makes a CPO vehicle? The certification comes from a thorough multi-point inspection administered by the manufacturer, ensuring a vehicle that's in tip-top shape and won't spark problems the second you leave the lot. While inspections are mandatory and the vehicle must pass every point of the inspection to be certified, it's still a great idea to have the vehicle checked by a mechanic you trust.  Cars aren't cheap, and you want to be sure you're spending your money wisely. more A Lightly Used and Well-Maintained Vehicle Part of the inspection stipulations mandates low age, low mileage, and frequent maintenance. Most CPO vehicles are formerly leased vehicles, which means previous drivers most likely had to adhere to strict mileage usage and kept their cars in the best condition possible so they would not be charged extra. At most, expect around 70,000 miles on the vehicle, though most CPOs are only about 3 years old with fewer than 40,000 miles. Extended Warranty Most CPO models come with an extended warranty to give you even more peace of mind. The warranty you're guaranteed means the manufacturer covers the costs of any repairs you may need, and the manufacturer wants to ensure that you'll have no need to bring the vehicle back for repairs. Not every extended warranty is the same, though, so be sure to do your research into what your CPO vehicle's warranty will cover. Some extend the original warranty by more miles or time, while others have warranties that start after you purchase the vehicle. To make sure you're getting the most for your money, you'll want to have a warranty that's worth it. Financing Deals While CPO models may have higher costs than non-certified models, manufacturers, banks, and lenders often offer low-interest financing deals for these vehicles. This means CPO models are treated more like new cars than used ones. Uncertified vehicles often have higher interest rates that may significantly raise the total amount you're spending on the vehicle. And, as with any vehicle purchase, you still have the power of negotiation. Don't be afraid to haggle just because the vehicle you have your eye on is a Certified Pre-Owned model. Do yourself a favor and take some of the stress out of shopping for a used car. Considering a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle means considering a lightly used and well-maintained vehicle with a few extra perks that a non-certified vehicle can't offer. Along with your due diligence, the certification gives you the peace of mind you need to finally make the car of your dreams a reality. Image via Flickr by thematthewknot
