There is a current upswing of Covid-19 related scams. Covid scams can be anything related to testing or vaccinations, and fraudsters are looking to phish personal information. Be aware if you receive a phone or social media message claiming that you are eligible to receive the vaccine. Always be suspicious if the person who contacts you demands detailed personal information or money up front. Never send money or personal information to anyone whom you do not know!

This week’s Ayers Automotive tip of the week reminds us of the importance of our engine coolant. If the coolant light goes on, check the coolant level that is normally under the hood. Make sure you put the right coolant type in your system and do not mix different colors of coolant! When in doubt, seek professional auto service. If you are in the Santa Barbara area and need auto repair, contact Ayers Automotive Repair. Thank you to Ayers Automotive Repair for their automotive tip of the week! https://www.ayersrepairs.com/
