Almost 165 years ago in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed more than 3 million enslaved peoples living in the Confederate states. It took until about two years later, on June 19th, 1865 for this freedom to spread to Texas, where 250,000 Black and African American peoples were still enslaved.

Juneteenth, also called Freedom Day, has been celebrated since 1866 and is considered one of the oldest continuing African American holidays. It became a federal holiday about 5 years ago.

Part of this celebration often includes the performance of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" by James Weldon Johnson. The lyrics include:

"Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us.
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won."

It is important to celebrate our progress, but also to keep striving for a world where all are free and equal. Happy Freedom Day.

Happy flag day! Here are some historical facts about our United States flag:

🇺🇸 June 14, 1777: The Stars and Stripes were adopted by the Continental Congress as the Flag of the United States.

🇺🇸 June 14, 1877: Flag Day was observed nationally for the first time on the 100th anniversary of the Stars and Stripes—and continues today.

🇺🇸 June 14, 1937: Pennsylvania became the first state in the United States to celebrate Flag Day officially as a state holiday.

🇺🇸 July 4, 1960: The new 50-star flag was flown for the first time—the flag that still flies today.

Most people don’t service their air conditioning until after it fails. Maintaining your air conditioning system means that you always have enough refrigerant to properly do the job. Small leaks in the air conditioning system allow the refrigerant to escape and the system can’t cool the air as well.

Along with the refrigerant, a special oil circulates in the system. The oil lubricates air conditioning components and keeps the seals resilient. Low refrigerant and lubricating oil mean that the air conditioning parts will wear out prematurely, and we all know that air conditioning repairs can be costly.

Air conditioning service starts with a visual inspection of the components for signs of damage or leaks. The compressor is driven by a belt from the engine, most often the serpentine belt, so it’s inspected for cracks or wear.

The air conditioning compressor and other components are checked for proper operation. Then comes the leak test. If a leak is detected, often in a hose or connection, it’s repaired, and the system is retested. The technician will also perform a temperature drop test.

If needed, the old refrigerant is evacuated, and the system is recharged with clean, fresh refrigerant. A final test ensures that the air conditioner is working, and you’re on your way.

How often this should be done varies from vehicle to vehicle. Your owner’s manual will have the manufacturer’s recommendation and, of course, your service advisor can tell you. It’s typically every two years.

DON’T WAIT until your air conditioning fails. See your Petty Motorworks service advisor and ask about an air conditioning inspection today!

You'll find cabin air filters in most newer vehicles, but many drivers don't even know they have one. They filter out things like dust and other particulates like pollen before the air goes into the passenger compartment. This can be very helpful to those with allergies and sensitivities to airborne pollutants.

Your vehicle manufacturer will recommend how often a cabin air filter should be changed. Of course, if you drive in areas that are dusty or polluted, you may want to change it more frequently. A couple of signs your cabin air filter is dirty? Not as much air comes out your vents when you turn on your ventilation system fan, and the air smells musty. You may also notice more dust in your passenger compartment.

While we’re at it, let’s mention one other filter. Vehicles with air-conditioned seats also have filters under the seats that filter the air that blows through the seat bottom and back. Seat filters get dirty too and need to be replaced.

Petty Motorworks can help keep your cabin air in good shape. You'll breathe easier. Get $10 off in the month of June for cabin filter installation.
