How to find time to care for your car

So much to do, so little time.  Let's see if anyone can relate- this morning my 19 month daughter woke up at 5:30am (right after I got out of the shower) and she was crying.  I ran in there to calm her down, changed her diaper and brought her in the bathroom with me while I finished getting ready for work.  Went downstairs, babysitter arrived and gave her a kiss goodbye. She of course starting crying very hard and running after me screaming "MAMA".  I had to do the hardest thing in the world- and just give her a kiss, say goodbye and proceed to leave.  Then off to my 33 mile drive to work with a broken heart and feeling like a horrible mommy for leaving her, stop for donuts for work event, and here I am blogging.  Can anyone relate?  I am a mom who works full time and is trying very hard to figure out how to give 110% to both jobs.  So how do I find the time to care for my car?  It's hard enough to find time to maintain my home let alone my car. I am very lucky that we have a Sears Auto Center on campus at work which is super convenient and I have built a trusting relationship with the mechanics at this location.  Another option is drop my car off, get my shopping done at the mall, then pick my car up when I am done. 

Sears Auto would like to build that relationship with you and help you care for your car. We would like to hear your feedback and let us know what could make your shopping experience worth the time.  Whether you are a working mom, working dad, stay at home mom, single, and so on- we know you have a busy schedule and we want to find ways to make caring for your car simple and worry-free.  What is most important to you- price, trust, convenience of location, etc?  Did you know we do maintenance service, we price match, have a huge assortment of tires and wheels, plus carry car care over the counter items? I look forward to hearing your feedback and your own stories.

Car care tip:  Ways to improve fuel economy: Drive sensibly, observe the speed limit, use cruise control whenever possible, and avoid excessive idling.  Check & replace air filters- replacing air filters every 12,000 miles can improve fuel economy and help protect your engine. Keep your engine tuned- changing spark plugs, fixing faulty sensors, and maintaining your engine can improve your gas mileage. Keep tires properly inflated- under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage. Follow your vehicle manufacturer's's recommendation.  Use proper motor oil- the proper grade of motor oil, along with changing the oil filter, can improve fuel economy.

I know of a few people who have used Sears auto services for their car. My auntie especially. When she gets bad service you know it. I haven't heard one complaint from her about Sears, so that's a good thing. Based on her experience i would say, Sears are very dependable and I think that's the most important thing. Keep up the good work!
