This week’s Ayers’ automotive tip of the week teaches the importance of checking your brake pads! Brake pads tend to wear down somewhere between 30,000 – 50,000 miles. When driving your vehicle, remember that safety comes first. If you are in the Santa Barbara area and need auto repair, contact Ayers Automotive Repair.

When budgets are tight, especially around the holidays, who can say no to gift cards offered during social media giveaways? However, before you make a comment on a social media giveaway post, make sure that the giveaway is legitimate. Many times, giveaway posts are made by scammers to get ‘likes’ on their page. After obtaining enough ‘likes’, scammers can then modify the original post, linking their page to malware or other malicious software. Remember that your data has value; always practice safe browsing habits.
