Brett Morick is with Andy St. John on WLKI 100.3 for a seasonal edition of Steuben Automotive's Car Talk. As the snow melts and Steuben County transitions into spring, the team at Steuben Automotive wants to ensure your vehicle is prepared for rising temperatures, spring break road trips, and unpredictable April showers.
Brett discusses why spring is the most common time for brake failures and how winter salt and corrosion can lead to unexpected repairs. He also shares critical advice on why you should never wait until the day before a vacation to get an oil change or inspection, emphasizing his father's mantra: "I'm in a hurry, so take your time and do it right the first time."
