The Science of Visibility: Staying Safe in April Showers

They say April showers bring May flowers, but they also bring some of the most dangerous driving conditions of the year. 90% of your driving decisions are based on what you see through that glass. If your wipers are streaking, you’re driving partially blind.

At Apex Automotive Group, we believe visibility is the most underrated safety feature on your vehicle. Standard wiper blades are made of rubber that dry-rots and cracks over time, especially with the Georgia sun beating down on them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace my wiper blades?

We recommend every 6 to 12 months. If you hear a "chattering" noise or see streaks during rain, it’s time for a change.

Does windshield treatment really help?

Yes! Hydrophobic treatments like Rain-X cause water to bead up and roll off instantly. At highway speeds, you often won't even need your wipers because the water clears so fast.

Why a Post-Winter Alignment is Non-Negotiable for Lilburn Drivers

April 3, 2026

Winter in Georgia might not always bring feet of snow, but the fluctuating temperatures and heavy rains create the perfect recipe for potholes. If you’ve felt your car "tugging" to one side lately, you aren't imagining it. At Apex Automotive Group, we see the results of winter wear every April. When your suspension is knocked out of alignment, your tires don’t sit flat on the road. This leads to "scrubbing," which can ruin a brand-new set of tires in just a few months. The Spring Special: Mention this blog post and get $20 OFF any Suspension or Alignment Service throughout April! Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if my alignment is off? Common signs include the steering wheel pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, or a steering wheel that sits crooked when you’re driving straight. Can a single pothole really ruin my alignment? Absolutely. Hitting a deep pothole can bend metal suspension components or knock your wheels out of their precise factory specifications instantly. Ready to straighten things out?
