Redford’s New Battery

Redford’s New Battery

Thinking in a preventative maintenance state of mind, we thought it wise to replace the five year old original battery in Redford, our 2016 F-150. Yesterday we stopped by Harrison Auto Parts/NAPA in Sugarcreek because we had such a great experience when we needed to...

Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours!
