Spring is finally here. Although it is officially spring, the winter season would not go quietly. The colder weather truly seems to be behind us as streets are swept clean, motorcycles take to the roads and classic cars come out of storage. During this time of the year there is also a focus by many towns and cities to start spring maintenance on their equipment and vehicles.

My travels out West take me to a vast number of places where I meet many people along the way. Some are Onspot customers and others are not. It makes no difference to me as I value the people and conversations, good, bad, indifferent. Occasionally, I meet someone who runs the auto chains and has a unique story to tell not just about our product, but in general. Doug Stairs is one of these people.

## [Servicing the Onspot system: Tips for the mechanic](https://intblog.onspot.com/servicing-the-onspot-system-benefits-for-the-mechanic)

[Leonard D'Orlando](https://intblog.onspot.com/author/leonard-dorlando), July 9, 2020

[![](https://intblog.onspot.com/hubfs/Onspot%20Mechanic%20640x.jpg)](https://intblog.onspot.com/servicing-the-onspot-system-benefits-for-the-mechanic)

When it comes to the Onspot automatic snow chain system there are many advantages.  Through the simple push of a dashboard switch the chain wheels are engaged providing the driver with traction on snow and ice.  It is not necessary for the driver to get out of the vehicle and manually strap chains on the tires. The driver can stay in the cab of the vehicle, avoiding the harsh winter conditions, the dangers of chaining up on the side of the road, and the overall physical exertion associated with conventional chains.  This is all well and good for the driver.
