Auto Repair Service Quick Tips
"The single most important thing you can do
for the health of your car or truck is to change the oil every 3 months or
3000 miles. Oil not only reduces the friction in your engine, it also
absorbs contaminants and keeps your engine clean."
"Are you wasting money at the pump? Fill your
auto with gas with the octane rating specified in your owners manual.
Higher octane fuel is not necessarily better. Higher octane fuel in a car
or truck that doesn't need it will not burn as efficiently. You waste
money on the fuel and you lose money with worse gas mileage."
"Are your brakes squeaking? Most brake pads
are designed to make noise when they are worn. See your auto mechanic and
have them checked before they completely wear out. If you let them go too
long, you may damage other more expensive components of your brake system
like your rotors, drums or calipers, making a small auto repair into a
much larger problem."
"When topping off your radiators reservoir,
make sure you use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze. Do not add straight
antifreeze. Antifreeze by itself is a poor conductor of heat compared to
water and if the ratio of antifreeze in your system gets too high, your
car may run hot."
"What is your car or truck leaking? Do you
have fluid under you auto and don't know where it came from? Engine oil is
usually a dark brown or black color. Automatic transmission fluid is
usually red or red-brown, and so is power steering fluid. Brake fluid is
mostly clear or slightly amber. Antifreeze can be a number of different
colors from orange to green to brown. When you find a leak, make sure you
get your vehicle to an auto repair service as soon as possible to prevent
damage."
