Take Care Of Your Car And Make It Last

By Fred Gagnon


Having your car break down can be among the most frustrating things in the world. Getting it fixed can be equally as frustrating. If you are in need of some auto repair, this article is perfect for you. Below is a list of tips that will tell you everything you need to know about auto repair.

An emergency kit is a must for your car. This kit should include specific tools for charging your battery, changing your tire, etc. Consider having blankets, batteries and a flashlight for unexpected nighttime break downs.

Make sure the oil in your vehicle is changed about every 3,000 miles. Waiting longer for an oil change can result in dirt and debris fouling your oil and that can damage your engine. If you use synthetic oil in your vehicle, you only need to change the filter every other oil change.

Don't leave anything of value in your car when it's being repaired. Some of these items may need to be removed so the mechanic can do his work, and the shop is not responsible if anything is lost. Remove everything from your trunk too.

In addition to basic tire changing equipment, keep a plastic tote filled with DIY auto repair supplies in the trunk of your car in case of emergencies. Fill it with at least a quart each of motor oil, transmission fluid, steering fluid, and brake fluid and a gallon of water. Add a can of penetrating oil spray, a roll of duct tape, twine, bungee cords and basic tools so that you can manage minor repairs on the road.

Test your car out after a repair has been done by a mechanic. Make sure it is operating correctly before full payment is made. A lot of people forget to test drive their vehicle and pay for repairs that did not really fix their problem.

Keep accurate records on what work has been done on your car and when. Many repair shops will keep this information for you, but that only works if you see them for everything for major breakdowns to oil changes. This can help in diagnosing problems, as you can show what fixes have already been attempted.

Do you feel like you know more of what to do now when you're facing a problem with your vehicle. Do not panic! Instead, focus on finding the right solution based on the tips that have been presented to you in this article. You will find out that you will be successful.
