HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!Make it a new years resolution to keep up on your vehicle maintenance that will save you both time and money. Think of the down time when your sitting along side the road with a flat tire or stuck at the air port because your car won't start. I don't need to tell you how much calling the tow truck costs.
The best and most efficient method of knowing about your car and keeping track of it is through the owner's manual which provides complete information on how to go about it. You can inspect your car every time you enter it, or on a daily or weekly basis or at intervals specified in the manual.
Must do's : Change the engine oil every 3,000 miles. oh but the book says every 5,000.....ask your self this " how does a vehicle manufacturer make money??" By selling you a new car !!! They only need the vehicle to last as long as the warranty. You can have it last longer buy properly maintaining your vehicle and have less problems. Yes, there are vehicles on the road with over 500,000 miles on there engines!!!!!
Keep a close eye on your tires. Check the pressure at each oil change and look at the tread depth across the entire surface. Anything below 3/32" and you are looking for trouble .
Check your battery for corroded terminals and have it load tested at each oil change.
If you follow these basic maintenance tips you are looking to save time and money in this New Year and the next !!!!
Car parts such as headlights, wheels and GM wheel hubs should be well maintained and properly taken care of. Through this, it will reduce the hassle of finding new replacement parts, spending to buy the new parts and being stuck in the middle of nowhere because your car broke down.
