Winter is officially over and we are beginning to see signs of Spring. The sun is shining in the sky, the grass is starting to show, and soon the flowers will be flourishing. We are beginning to put away our winter coats and break out our lighter sweaters, but what about your vehicles? This is what we at Walker Automotive like to call the swap-over season, as it is time to swap out those snow tires for some more appropriate all-season tires.

Spring is in the air, and while there are many lovely wonders this time of year, the rodents are on the prowl and often find a warm nesting spot under the hood of your vehicle. Yikes!

Even bunnies have been known to snack on these. In 2013, Denver International Airport made headlines thanks to the rabbits who invaded the airport parking lots for warm ... read more
