Seat Belts: Stay right where you are


You may have thought you were out of high school, but here’s a little pop Physics class to remind you of why seat belts are so important. If you are inside a moving vehicle going 65 MpH and you are not buckled in, if the car collides with an object inertia will still have your body going 65 MpH causing you most likely to be thrown from the car. (the number one killer of people under the age of 35, according to Oklahoma State University) In order to be safe in this kind of crash is to become part of the car and minimizing your (you the driver) injuries, is to be buckled/attached to your vehicle. In a car accident the best place for you to end up at the end of the collision is going to be inside of your car. These days cars are designed to impact in certain areas while staying impact resistant in others.


Make it a habit to put your seat belt on. If you do something 21 days in a row it’s proven that it will become habit and you no longer have to think about it before you simply just do it.


It’s also a smart move to have your seat belts, along with other safety features in your vehicle, examined especially if you have an older dated car. At Official Inspection Station (www.officialinsepctionstation.com) when a car leaves our facilities we want to ensure you that your vehicle is safe, keeping you and your loved ones as protected as possible in the unfortunate case of an accident. Official Inspection Station (www.officialinspectionstation.com) is exclusively the only safety only inspection establishment in San Antonio.

BG

It often seems that with the rise and fall of the stock market the one thing that does consistently rise is gas prices, it doesn’t matter if you’re a High-end Executive or an Average Joe we are all looking for the same thing: a way to save money when it comes to filling up at the gas pump. Whether it be making sure that there’s the perfect amount of air pressure in your tires, to removing the unnecessary weight in your car, to even keeping your speed to under 60 MPh, (According to fueleconomy.gov, it would be safe to assume that every 5 MPh over 60 MPh is like paying an extra $0.24 per gallon for gas!) we are all looking for ways to be pro active in the quest for better fuel efficiency.


One thing that people may not consider is maintaining your fuel injectors. Dirty injectors can limit the maximum power your engine can produce. In the more extreme cases filthy injectors can even lead to engine damage starting in cylinder lean out to the point of piston damage. If maintenance isn’t handled from the starting point when you purchase your vehicle, you may find yourself with a $400 bill just to clean your injectors.


A way to prevent this and help your car stay at its best would be to treat your gas tank with BG 44k®. Not only is it fuel economic but it also reduces exhaust emissions. Think of it as “Going Green” while you save some green.


Offering this BG 44k® is yet another wonderful product and service we offer in addition to Texas vehicle safety inspections. Here at Official Inspection Station (www.officialinspectionstation.com), we care not only about the safety of our fellow Texas drivers but about our environment. You could even say our red, white and blue is going “Green” as well!
