At DeBoer’s Auto, we know how important your vehicle is to your day-to-day. Whether it’s work, errands, summer road trips, or just getting the kids to camp on time, you rely on your car to keep life moving. That’s why we’re always looking for ways to help you stay on the road—without putting a dent in your budget.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we’re all about helping people live life uninterrupted—and let’s face it, making a mess behind the wheel is the opposite of that. Whether it’s spilling sauce in your lap or losing a nugget to the floorboard abyss, bad food choices can turn a smooth ride into a sticky situation.

So in honor of National Drive-Thru Day, we’re breaking down the best and worst meals to eat while driving—because just because it comes in a bag doesn’t mean it belongs in your lap.

It's that time of year again. Road trip season is in full swing, and whether you're driving across the state or just heading out for a weekend getaway, there's something incredibly nostalgic about packing the car, hitting the highway, and watching the miles roll by.

Of course, if you’re a parent, you know that keeping the kids entertained during those long stretches of highway can be... let’s say, challenging. That’s where road trip movies become absolute lifesavers.

Ahhh, summer. Windows down, your favorite playlist blaring, and miles of open road ahead. But before you hit the gas, there’s one critical decision that could make or break your road trip experience…

SNACKS.
That’s right—fueling your car is important, but fueling yourself? Non-negotiable. So, we thought we’d have a little fun.

Crank it up, roll the windows down, and hit the road!

At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe that nothing sets the tone for a great summer drive quite like a killer playlist. Whether you're cruising down Route 206 or just running errands, the right soundtrack turns every trip into an experience. And if you’ve ever walked into our shop, you already know—music is always playing, and everyone’s got an opinion!

Summer is in full swing, and there's no better time to make sure your vehicle is ready for the road ahead. Whether you're hitting the highway for a family vacation, exploring scenic backroads, or just handling everyday errands, your tires play a critical role in keeping your drive safe and smooth.

As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day with fireworks, cookouts, and backyard fun, let’s not forget another symbol of freedom: your car. It’s your gateway to road trips, weekend getaways, family adventures — and sometimes just a quiet moment of peace on the open road. But if your car is trying to tell you something, ignoring it could put a hard stop on your summer plans.

Let’s Talk Tire Safety – Because You Deserve a Smooth (and Safe) Ride

Summer is here, the road trips are calling, and your car is ready to go... but are your tires?

It’s National Tire Safety Week from June 30 to July 4—a perfect reminder to give your tires a little TLC. They might not be the flashiest part of your vehicle, but they’re the only thing between you and the road. And when they’re not in great shape, it can affect everything from fuel efficiency to safety.

Summer’s here—and while most of us are looking forward to longer days and sunshine, your fleet vehicles might not be as enthusiastic. High temperatures and harsh driving conditions can take a real toll on your fleet if you’re not ahead of the game. The good news? With a little preparation, you can avoid major headaches and keep your vehicles running smoothly all season long.

You’re cruising along, music playing, maybe sipping your coffee—then ding! a strange little light flickers on the dash. Ugh. What now?

Dashboard warning lights can feel intimidating, but they’re really just your car’s way of saying, “Hey, something’s not quite right.” Some are minor, others are urgent, but all of them are worth understanding. So let’s break down five of the most common ones, in plain English.
