Santa Claus Comes to New York

While the legend of Santa Claus dates back to 280 A.D. he didn't make his first appearance in the states until the end of the 18th century. Known by many as St. Nicholas the first dated mention of his named appeared in a New York newspaper, which has reported on a group of Dutch families that had gathered to honor the anniversary of his death. The name Satan Claus, actually originated from the dutch nickname for St. Nicholas, Sinter Klass. In 1804, a member of the New York Historical Society, John Pintard, passed out wooden engravings of St. Nicholas during a society meeting. The engraving featured the image we know today of Santa Claus filling stockings with toys. The legend grew, when Washington Irving referred to St. Nicholas as the patron saint of New York in his book, The History of New York, in 1809. While the legend continued to grow, one fact is certain- Santa Claus has become a world renowned figure of Christmas.

Fall Car Maintenance Tip: Listen to your Brakes.

Checking your vehicles brakes should be more than routine, especially during winter. Pay attention when braking to make sure they aren't making any strange noises, such as scraping or grinding, or that the brake pedal doesn't feel spongy or soft when depressed. If either of those issues arise, it van make braking difficult and driving dangerous. 

If your vehicles brake pedal feels spongy or soft it could mean that there is too much air in the brake line and can easily be remedied by bleeding the brakes yourself.

On the other hand, if you hear your brakes making a grinding noise or scarping sound, it could mean that there is some kind of foreign object stuck in them or that the wear indicator is rubbing against the rotor. If you hear any noise that usually means the friction material on your brakes has worn off and the only thing stopping your car is the metal backing plate. If let unchecked, it could damage critical parts of your brakes and make it difficult to stop.  

Before winter hits, if you're experiencing any of the aforementioned issues, be sure to stop by our certified service center and have one of our technicians check your vehicles brakes for you.
