Holiday Hours at Cavalier Ford
Since Christmas falls on a Sunday this year, it means minimal disruption of our business hours! The only changes are as follows: Our Service Department will be open from 8:00 AM until 2:00 PM on Saturday, 24 December and our Sales Department will be open from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM the same day.
If you're travelling, make sure you have the appropriate gear in your vehicle for inclement weather. I know it looks like it will be balmy here, but much of the rest of the country looks pretty brutal. If you're due for an oil change soon, it's better to do it before an extended trip than after.
We hope all of you have great holidays and travel safely!

Preventing and Treating Minor Burns
A little common sense and some first aid skills can help keep you safe.
A first-degree burn is the least serious type of burn, in which only the outer layer of skin is burned, and not all the way through. The skin is usually red, swollen and possibly painful. As long as it doesn’t involve a substantial portion of skin in places like the face or major joints, then a first-degree burn can be treated as a minor burn. Even these “minor” burns, however, should be treated correctly to prevent complications. Whether you live alone or with a large family, it’s important to know how to prevent common household burns, as well as how to treat minor burns.
