Here's the KEY to parking lot safety-- especially if you're alone.

Hey, you.  Yeah, you.  And the person next to you!


This isn't just for women.  This isn't just for young new drivers.  This isn't just for those in a rough spot of town.  Regardless of age, gender, or location, situational awareness is key for all humans, and it becomes exponentially more important when getting behind the wheel all by yourself.  It may sound cliche, but it really is better to be safe than sorry

You've probably got one of these questions in your mind:  How much extra effort is this going to be on my part?  How much will it cost for the latest safety gadget to keep myself safe?  What exactly are you trying to sell me?

We'll just answer all three.  This advice is easy, free, and largely common sense.  All you have to do is, well, do it.



Stay hyper-observant of surroundings.  Some of us are guilty of arriving at our destination, locking the vehicle, and tossing our keys into a purse, backpack, or pocket  Why is it bad news?  Fast forward to being back at your car--when you're ready to head home.  Not only are you caught unprepared for the unexpected, you are now distracted while you search for your keys.  Don't be an easy target.


Of course, the best kind of safety is preventative!  Make sure your car is up-to-date on all maintenance/servicing appointments  You can even make an appointment with us online!
