Your Car Will Run Better with Techron

This post is sponsored by Techron®.

If you guys have read my other auto posts (please do so), then you know that I do a lot of research when it comes to what I put into my car and use for it. I’m just not in the know, so I need to put the work in to learn. If you are like me then hi, and welcome to the club. I want to tell you that you need the best of the best for your car. There is nothing worse than putting all that money into something that you depend on and not use the best. Am I right? With that said, did you know that you should use a fuel additive? I legit didn’t know this until a couple years ago (car people don’t come at me please). Who’s the best? Well that would be Techron hands down. Let me tell you all about it…

Thank you Dan for all your help with the cars :) 

The Best Oil for Your Car is Havoline PRO-RS

I’m the type of girl who needs a reminder to change her oil even with the sticker right on my window. I don’t always know the right products to buy either, but I ask my very trusted mechanic and when he says to get Havoline® PRO-RSTM Renewable Full Synthetic Motor Oil, I get Havoline PRO-RS. My daughter’s boyfriend Zarvan is studying to be a mechanic so I asked him to change my oil for me, and he was more than happy to help (I may have promised to babysit the babies in return for the help). 

Ride.Tech Gives you all the auto and tech new you need

“This post is sponsored by Kelley Blue Book; however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.”

Being a mom of two very busy kids, so between them and my own appointments, I feel like I live in my car. I thought during the school year was bad, the summer is about 10 times worse. I don’t think there has been a day yet that we aren’t on the go. When you are on the run so much you need a very safe and reliable car, or you need to know how to get to where you are going. That’s where good research comes into play. My friends at Kelley Blue Book have launched this amazing website called Ride.tech that will give you all the information you need about auto and tech news.

Traveling Arizona and Nevada in a Kia Cadenza

A few weeks ago I was lucky to drive a Kia Cadenza for a couple of weeks. If you want a car that has style, then the Cadenza is what you should be looking at. My best friend and his son (you may remember them from our WI trip) came down to visit and have some fun. We took the Cadenza everywhere and it was perfect for us.

2017 Kia Sorento is a Perfect Family Car

My kids and I flew to WI the last few days of May, and we needed a car to drive around and do all our adventures in. Kia was very generous and loaned us a 2017 fully loaded Kia Sorento until the end of June. As soon as it was delivered my oldest daughter and I jumped in and took it for a ride. It didn’t take long for both of us to fall in love with it. To the point where she asked if we could just keep this and trade my current car in. To be honest I like the way she thinks.

Magellan RoadMate GPS and Dash Cam

To say that I am directionally challenged is an understatement. I’m the type of person that needs to know to turn right or left, not east or west. I have wanted a GPS system for a long time. I love using my phone, but sometimes it doesn’t work and when it does, I can’t always use other features the way I want (when I’m a passenger). I was so happy when I had the chance to review Magellan’s new RoadMate 6630T-LM.

CARSTAR Encourage Teen Drivers to Put Safety First

I’m attached to my cell phone and my daughter is too. I do try to show a good example and driving is one of them especially with her being so close to being driving herself (insert stressed mama). AAA did some research recently and “teens are among the riskiest drivers on the road, crashing four times more often than adult drivers do.  In fact, car crashes are the leading cause of death among people age 16-20, killing more than 5,600 teens each year.” To me, that’s 5,600 too many. CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts is really hoping that number goes down drastically by providing tips for parents to share with their kids. They want kids safe everyday and also when it comes to special events like prom.

Kelley Blue Book 12 Best Family Cars of 2017

This post was sponsored, but opinions are 100% my own.

In late 2015 I had the opportunity to visit the Kelley Blue Book headquarters and see how they do things. I was a little surprised at how much I learned. Kelley Blue Book really takes every option into consideration when they are evaluating the cars. They want to recommend the best in each category. Recently they released their picks for the 12 Best Family Cars of 2017.
