Mercedes- Benz of Smithtown is proud to announce their partnership with the McNamara Charity Golf Group. This fundraiser has been helping benefit veteran charities, veterans and their families for over 12 years. Many have experienced major financial setbacks with Covid in the last two years. This cause hits close to home for the strong veteran himself. Christopher T. McNamara has served in the U.S. Air Force. His family is deeply rooted through generations in the military service. Learning from his own experience as well as his family, McNamara knows how fortunate it is to make it home after being in service. Though this is something to be happy about, many come home with physical life changing injuries as well as invisible traumas that stay with them everyday that can’t be fixed with a cast like a broken arm. Internal Traumas that are life changing. Through this, it is common for many of these men and women to suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brian Injury (TBI). No one will ever know what these brave veterans have seen or experienced during their time in service. After their return many find it hard to come back to normal life or the life they once knew, without having memories or flashbacks of these traumatic times. This is the perfect opportunity to show your support for those that sacrificed so much for our freedom. Veterans have been provided with service dogs rescued from kill shelters. This is a great way to save two lives. The care for these precious pups is covered for life by mobile vans “Paws of War”. Disabled veterans are also provided with Action Trackchairs, which allow them the liberty of enjoying the outdoors and getting a bit of fresh a ir. Their strength and courage is inspirationally motivating. Throughout the last 10 outings, this organization has raised $600,000 for these indestructible veterans but we don’t plan on stopping there. With your help of spreading the word, we can help so many families and veterans to a better future. The next outing will be held on Monday, September 19, 2022. For more information on this incredible cause, you can visit the McNamara Charity Golf Outing Facebook page where you can access the entire brochure. Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is proud to be donating to such a wonderful cause. If you are interested in any sponsorships through Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown, please feel free to contact us!

Your safety depends a whole lot on the condition of your tires. Your tires give you the ability to grip the road, make safe turns, and stop in a safe amount of time. Now that Spring is finally here, you may be asking yourself "when is the best time to make the switch from Winter Tires to Summer Tires?" Winter Tires Winter tires perform best in temperatures below 45 degrees in areas with cold, snowy and icy weather conditions. In order to maintain grip on slippery roads, winter tires are designed to stay soft in colder temperatures. Using Winter Tires in warm and dry weather conditions will wear the tread. It is important to change from winter tires to summer tires during the summer time to maintain the condition of your Winter Tires for future use. Summer Tires/ All-Season Tires With April just around the corner, we should expect temperatures to begin to rise here on Long Island. All-season and Summer Tires perform best when temperatures are above 45 degrees and should only be used in warm, dry and mildly wet weather conditions. These tires are designed to give drivers a more comfortable ride in the summer time.

According to Car and Driver, Mercedes-Benz is officially attempting to restore the legendary Roadster's excellence with the next Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. This reinvention will be showing more of the spirit of the grand tourer for a couple of reasons: to differentiate it from the GT Roadster, and because the SL-Class will replace the S-Class Cabriolet. The next SL-Class, set to debut in 2021, will be completely developed by the Mercedes-AMG Division. Because the next SL-Class will be produced by AMG, it will be much more sporty than the current version. Mercedes-Benz has decided to put AMG® in charge of developing the next SL-Class in order to make sure that it lives up to the expectations set by its sportiest predecessors. The eighth-generation SL-Class, only offered as a Roadster, will be using the same Modular Sports Architecture (MSA) platform as the model that will replace the AMG® GT. This architecture will help engineers make the SL-Class lighter and quicker, despite the added weight that comes along with the hybrid technology that all variants will include.
