cably maintained grounds and a highly secure environment for those who wish to store their RVs and boats.

“We have the privilege of storing over 530 RVs and boats each month, with a waiting list that has opened up for the first time in years due to the opening of Phase 3,” Hayworth said. “Customer satisfaction that drives our fast lease-up, continues to assure us that we are on the right track.”

According to Hayworth, Phase 3 for Oakley Executive added 138 more storage spaces for RVs and boats, allowing for a larger number of customers to be able to work with the company.

The development of Oakley Executive into what it is today was not always easy.

“Keeping up with the demand has been

a really big challenge,” said Hayworth. “On the development side, getting the entitlements was challenging initially. However, once the City of Oakley saw the added benefit of the solar portion of the project, they rallied their support and were instrumental in helping us bring this project to fruition.”

The addition of the solar panels to the company’s facility is an added bonus not just for customers but also for the community of Oakley as a whole.

“Ours is a purpose-driven business, where the benefit is enjoyed by the customer, the owner, the city, the community and the environment,” said Hayworth of the highlights of his experience building the company. “We are grateful to be able to provide exceptional service to each customer and to know that the

need and how often, experts say. Commuter vehicles making the trek to San Francisco or the Silicon Valley each day will need maintenance more often than a car just driven around town or on the weekends.

Typical maintenance chores for most vehicles – whether they be gasoline, hybrid or electric – will include fluid checks; tire pressure, rotations and alignment; and changing out air filters.

“Hybrids or electric vehicles definitely need maintenance as well as traditional gas engines, but they need a lot less, because there is not the engine to worry about,”

recommendations that should be met and that is why when someone calls me or one of my service advisors and says they need a tune up, it’s so antiquated,” said Curran. “Everything now is recommended mileage services. That’s what we do for any vehicle, and we will find out what car you have and what service you need because that varies from one car to another. And ‘recommended’ usually means the car requires it, like oil changes and tire rotations at certain mileage intervals.”

In addition to the recommended maintenance schedule, how and where you drive your car will dictate what services you will

How to choose a good mechanic?

Starting a search with online reviews can give you an idea if a mechanic’s customers have rolled away happy or not.

“In California, you need a license to cut nails and cut hair, but you don’t need a license to work on cars,” said Ted Curran, owner of Monkey Wrenches in Brentwood.

“So there are a lot of people out there working on cars who maybe shouldn’t be. You want to make sure they are trained and have experience and will be around for a while to back up their warranty. Do your research before you go in.”

Once you’ve found someone, it’s best to stick to the recommended maintenance schedule from your manufacturer. This can include a myriad services from tire pressure and fluid checks to oil changes.

“The maintenance schedule will have

said Brian Cornelius, manager of Quick Lane of Brentwood. “You don’t change the oil, but you still have tire rotation, you still have filters, you do still have coolant to keep your batteries cool and running properly. So there is maintenance, but a traditional gas engine definitely has more.”

Tire pressure can be affected when temperatures warm during the spring, and East County’s bumpy country lanes can easily throw tires out of alignment. So experts recommend having those checked regularly.

The old warning that oil should be changed every 3,000 miles no longer applies. Curran said with the newer synthetic oils and synthetic blend oils, most cars can go 5,000 to 7,500 between changes.

One more tip as spring begins: make sure your coolant is ready for the hot weather.

“I would definitely have your coolant checked,” Cornelius said. “It’s called antifreeze, but it also prevents your car from overheating.”

Monkey Wrenches is located at 8130 Brentwood Blvd. in Brentwood. For more information, call 925-634-4145 or visit www.monkeyauto.com.

chance to follow a favorite football team or, of course, the awe-inspiring foliage in the fall, any of these can compel people to hit the open road.

A car or truck might suffice for a day trip or weekend getaway, but those who want to travel more extensively often do so in an RV.

First-time RV drivers can try various strategies to get used to what it’s like to be behind the wheel of these unique vehicles. ♦ Recognize that practice makes perfect.

Recreational vehicles, or RVs, provide a taste of home away from home for millions of people every year. RV travel is a great way to experience the open road. RVs allow people to visit even the most remote locations without having to worry about finding food or lodging.

As welcoming as the interior of an RV can be, it’s also easy for first-time RV drivers to feel a little intimidated. RVs are the largest vehicles many people will ever operate, and even long-time drivers will likely need some time to adjust. That adjustment period can go smoothly if drivers take steps to grow more comfortable behind the wheel before embarking on their trips.

give a second thought to driving in reverse or navigating their way around parking lots. But such situations require some forethought, and even a little help, when driving an RV for the first time. A traveling companion can direct drivers into and out of parking spots until they grow more acclimated to operating an RV. ♦ Use leveling blocks. RV leveling blocks help RVs stay level when parked on sloped surfaces. The RV experts at TheRVGeeks. com note that RVs need to be level in order for equipment to work properly. That’s problematic if you park at a campsite with uneven ground. Even if equipment is functional when parked on marginally sloped surfaces, navigating your way through an RV parked on such ground is inconvenient if not annoying. Leveling blocks also can keep jacks from sinking into soft ground, making them an inexpensive, yet useful accessory, for any RV trip. ♦ Practice dumping your tanks. Drivers whose RVs have toilets will eventually need to dump their waste. Drivers should practice this in advance of their first trip so they are practiced when the time comes to do it on the road. Tutorials on YouTube can teach drivers how to dump their tanks. Drivers also can invest in a highly rated, thick sewer hose to avoid being sprayed with waste while out on the road.

Insurance is something every driver should have. Motorists can explore their options to find policies that fit their needs and budgets. ♦ What is auto insurance?

Most drivers have it, but few, if any, hope to use it. According to Insure.com, car insurance is an agreement between the policy holder and an insurance company that protects the individual against financial loss if the vehicle is stolen or involved in an accident.

is for the policy holders’ legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property damage.

Medical coverage pays for the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation and sometimes even funeral expenses or lost wages. ♦ Compulsory vs. mandatory coverage Depending on where a policy holder lives, there are certain coverages that are compulsory, or mandatory coverages that are the minimum amounts required by law.

Optional coverages also can be purchased to suit one’s needs. Compulsory coverage may vary based on location, a driver’s age, type of vehicle, and type of financing on that vehicle.

It is best to discuss coverages with an automotive insurance agent to figure out which types of coverage will be needed and to get a price quote. The six basic kinds of coverage include: • bodily injury liability • personal injury protection • property damage liability

REMEMBER as a consumer, you have the right to take your vehicle to any shop, don’t let your insurance dictate where you take it.

• collision • comprehensive • uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage ♦ Premiums vary Insurance typically is sold with deductibles, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Policy holders may opt for higher deductibles so they can lower their premium costs. Additional factors that will affect the cost of coverage include a driver’s age, driving record and location where the vehicle is housed or used. Credit score and gender also may affect premiums. Defensive driving courses and protecting the vehicle with anti-theft devices may help lower premiums.

Auto insurance costs vary by a significant amount, so it is a good idea to shop around and compare quotes. Bundling of auto insurance with other policies, such as homeowners insurance or umbrella policies, may help reduce rates. ♦ Getting insurance To obtain an insurance policy, the agent will need the year, make and model of the vehicle being insured. For the most accurate price quote, the VIN number will be needed.

To buy auto insurance, one needs to be the registered owner of the car. Some states allow dependent and independent drivers to own a car in their own names at age 16 or 17. Some parents combine insurance coverage for their teenagers because the premiums may be cheaper. Teenagers tend to be riskier in the eyes of insurance companies due to their lack of experience and perceived recklessness. Those factors are reflected in premium costs.

A

s gas prices rise, so does consumers’ interest in fuelefficient vehicles.

Studies conducted in the 1980s showed that higher gas prices increased the demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. The same is holding true today, but instead of just fuel efficiency, many consumers are looking for hybrid or electric vehicles.

“Any time you get fuel prices like we have, people are after more efficient cars,” said Rob Brandt of Bill Brandt Ford in Brentwood. “The hybrids, electric and fuel-efficient cars are in full demand.

Unfortunately, with the chip shortage they are in low supply, especially new cars.”

Even used cars are scarce, selling for

higher prices with low inventory all over the state. Brandt said the last 18 months have changed the shape of the car buying landscape, especially since gas prices began climbing last month.

“Hybrid and electric vehicles have been in demand, both new and used,” Brandt said. “Fuel- efficient vehicles are more sought after when fuel prices rise but we have never seen such an increase in my day.”

He said his dealership has done its part to be fair and competitive, selling at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price rather than spiking above sticker price. He said now is a good time to make sure the vehicles people already own are running as efficiently as possible, with regular services to ensure fuel efficiency.
