Three Reasons New Tires Should Be On Your Christmas List

December 7, 2015 by Barb Peterson-Lenz

It's December and we've already received our first two snow storms here in Manson. Snow of course means snowmen and snowball fights, but it also means that driving isn't as easy as it was in the summer.  Winter storms mean poor visibility, snow packed roads and worst of all ice!  That means that now is a great time to have a look at what condition your tires are in--after all, they're the only thing between you and the road... unless you're Santa of course! :) There are a number of benefits to owning well maintained tires.  Just to name a … [Read more...]

In more layman's terms this means that in the event you did get in an accident and your insurance company says your vehicle is not worth … [Read more...]

Leo Rost Honored As A WW2 Veteran

July 12, 2014 by Heath Rost

When the 101st Mechanized Cavalry Division took over a small town in southern Germany in 1945, Leo Rost said they believed the enemy fire had stopped. “When we took this town over, it had been neutralized for a few hours,” Rost said. But around 11 a.m. that April morning, they realized that wasn’t the case. Rost pulled up his jeep beside another jeep with his buddies in it. He was standing outside the jeep talking to them, when the Germans showed they weren’t finished. “All of a sudden the mortar shells started coming into … [Read more...]
