Pair Your Phone with HondaLink Connectivity
Distracted driving laws are constantly being beefed up, and it's no wonder. Up to 80 percent of traffic collisions involve driving distractions of some form or another, often because the driver has a cell phone in their hand. But that won't be you because your Honda has HondaLink Connectivity, and you can use handsfree functions for safer driving.Odds are that your Honda has Bluetooth HandsFreeLink as standard equipment - nearly all new Honda vehicles do. But do you know how to pair your phone to the system? It's an important safety feature, so it's in your best interest to use it!

At Jay Wolfe Honda, we love to express our appreciation and gratitude to the people who keep us safe. Our veterans have sacrificed so much to give us our freedom. They give up time spent with their loved ones and put themselves in harm's way so we can live in peace and security.It's not just about the one day, Veterans Day, on November 11th. And to demonstrate our appreciation, we're making it a month-long event.

Read moreCommon Misconceptions of New Car Owners
You've made a choice that provides a higher level of freedom and excitement - you bought a car!! Better yet, you bought a Honda, so you can be confident in its reliability and performance for years to come. As new car owners, all you have to do is put gas in the tank and drive, right?Well, not exactly. New car owners, particularly first-time car owners, don't realize there's more responsibility that comes with their purchase. Most avoidable problems due to lack of maintenance on Hondas occur because the owner simply wasn't aware of their car's needs.
Read moreShould You Fix Your Clunker or Ditch It?
You've formed a bond with your vehicle. You love everything about it, from the character speed holes in the fenders to the squeaks and rattles when you drive over bumps. Sure, there are features that only work sporadically like the power windows, but you've worn the driver's seat to fit you just right. Best of all, it's paid off. So now that you're having a problem with your clunker, it's a tough choice whether to fix it or get something new.

What do you think of when you think of Green Berets? Possibly John Wayne, in the movie of that name, or Barry Sadler, who wrote a ballad about them. Even if you don't know much about them, you probably know that they're an elite special force in the U.S. Army, dedicated to protecting our country in ways most others can't. They put their lives on the line, fighting for freedom, and to preserve our way of life. But what happens when a Green Beret is injured, or needs care? The Green Beret Foundation is dedicated to helping take care of our Green Berets, just as they take care of us. Which is why Jay Wolf Honda is proud to sponsor the Green Beret Foundation. About the Green Beret Foundation If a Green Beret is injured, the first action of the Green Beret Foundation is to send them a check for $1,000, along with any essentials for a temporary hospital stay. That covers their immediate needs. If they need extended care, they can provide additional help, supplementing the basic aid that the Veterans' Administration provides. They not only take care of them in their hour of need, but, when possible, do what they can to put the Green Beret back on the road to recovery, including treatments like laser nerve therapies, adaptive and recovery equipment, and even hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The Green Beret Foundation also provides support for the families of Green Berets. For those who have died, they help provide funeral costs, and contribute to other needs the family may have. They also provide Reconnect Weekends: respites for Green Berets to relax and spend more time with their families while they're deployed. And scholarship programs help to provide the resources for the children and dependents of Green Berets to get a good education.Getting InvolvedIn November, Jay Wolfe Honda held a fundraiser to benefit the Green Beret Foundation. We donated $15 from every vehicle we sold, and $1 from every service sale. And with your help, we were able to raise $3,691 for our special forces and their families. But of course, the need is ongoing. If you'd like to donate time, money, or other resources to helping our Green Berets, visit theGreen Beret Foundation websiteand find out what you can do to help.

The holidays are all about giving, and we at Jay Wolfe Honda like to like to acknowledge that as best we can. That's why, this past holiday season, we held a food drive for Harvesters Community Food Network. And we're proud to report that, with YOUR help, it was a tremendous success!About Harvesters Community Food NetworkThe Harvesters Community Food Network is based in Kansas City, but they serve a total of 26 counties in Northwestern Missouri and Northeastern Kansas. Founded in 1979, Harvesters sought to take the cornucopia of perfectly good grocery store food that was thrown away every year for being too close to its sell by date, and distribute it to those who needed it most. Since then, they've created a variety of programs over the years, to aid in the collection and distribution of food. This includes their signature coupon-scanning program, Check-Out Hunger, along with fundraisers like Forks & Corks, Chefs Classic, and the Quisenberry-Harvesters Celebrity Golf Classic. They also created the BackSnack program to provide food for elementary school students, and many others. Today, Harvesters provides food and household items to over 620 non-profit agencies in the Kansas City area, from homeless shelters to emergency food pantries to children's homes and more.Getting InvolvedLast year, Jay Wolfe Honda organized a drive to help Harvesters Community Food Network provide food to those who needed it during the holidays. And with the help of our staff, customers, friends, and the community at large, we were able to more than triple our donation! But that's really only the first step. There are still a great many hungry families all over the Kansas City area, and a great many shelters and food banks that constantly need supplies. At Jay Wolfe Honda, we're doing what we can to help Harvesters provide families with the food they need. And you can help too! You can always donate food or money, or volunteer your time to help Harvesters Community Food Network. For more information, visit theHarvesters websiteand learn what you can do to help put an end to hunger, not just at the holidays, but year round. And to learn more about the food drive we held, and see the bountiful donations raised by you, the community, visit theJay Wolfe Honda Facebook Page.
