Had a chance to test one of the CTEK battery chargers for the last year. It is the best battery charger I have! ( I have 12 by the way, that I use on the farm)  It is the only supposedly “trickle” charger that doesn’t overcharge the battery when you leave it on for several weeks. The technology that CTEK uses is far superior to others in the fact that is shuts off if it isn’t needed. With batteries costing $120 and up, I am buying more of these and cycling my other ones out. This is PERFECT for that classic car that sits and waits for good weather.

Check out CTEK on the web or Amazon- Mike

Honda Recalling 330,000 For Mirrors Falling Off

Side mirrors that may detach have prompted Honda’s latest recall affecting a sizable amount of its vehicles — approximately 330,300 Odyssey, Passport, Pilot and Ridgeline models.  Vehicles recalled include model-year 2020-22 Odyssey minivans and Passport SUVs, and model-year 2020-21 Pilot SUVs and Ridgeline pickup trucks. The issue involves the left- and right-side side-view mirror heater pads, which are located behind the mirrors’ glass. The heater pads are attached with adhesive tape that may lose adhesion over time and cause the mirror glasses to detach. A detached mirror glass increases the risk of reduced visibility and a crash. Honda will be sending out notices soon. To expedite the process, call our local dealer.
