As we thaw from winter’s chill here in Devon, PA, so do the roads. And while that may sound like an invitation for a road trip, you better be careful traveling at highway speeds during pothole season.

One hard hit into a crater-like crevice and you can knock your wheels out of alignment, blow out a tire, damage the suspension, break fuel lines — the list of possibilities goes on and on. In fact, with as cold as it’s been here this winter, we’re probably going to be seeing a pretty merciless pothole season, so even if you don’t feel like your car is unbalanced, it’s really worth getting your BMW inspected for pothole damage and have the wheels aligned if need be after we’re through the worst of it.
