Preventing A Vehicle No-begin - easy Battery And Charging System upkeep

Posted by [email protected] on
I used to get my car's oil changed at the same center every three months without fail. Each time I brought my car in, they would "offer" to fix something else that was wrong with the car. First, the left brake light was out; then I needed a new oil filter; after that it was the spark plugs. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't catch on until they told me I needed a new brake light (the same side) two times in a row. Sometimes, auto oarts near me are just being kind to point out something they have discovered during their work. However, don't just fall for this line; ask to see the problem on your car.

It wasn't 30 minutes later and that nice elderly couple was dropping me off at a small mom and pop auto parts store near me just outside of Pecos. As I entered the store I turned just in time to wave as the Cadillac rolled back onto the main highway and proceeded west to El Paso.

The main thing that people need in ways of car maintenance is Oil Changes. Now you could go to a shop and have them charge you anywhere from 50 to 100 bucks or so to do it for you, or you could run out to an auto store near me, grab a filter and some oil and do it yourself for somewhere around 20 bucks. Yea see I told you I'd save you some money.



Within a few minutes an old beat up, rusted out, El Camino came rumbling into the parking lot. The man behind the counter said, "that's Little Frankie, he's my boy. He'll take you back to your truck and give you a hand changing that belt, if ya need." I thanked the man and proceeded out the door back into that West Texas blast furnace.

When cleaning and polishing your piano, do not use furniture polish. Simply take a micro fiber cloth and dampen it. Make sure it is wrung out well. If you're not sure where to find a micro fiber cloth, you can find them in the automotive department of your local department store or at the local auto parts near me. You can also use piano polishes, which can be purchased from your local music store.

Open the hood of your Grand Am and begin by placing the belt over the air conditioner pulley which is the furthest wheel back, just behind the tensioner.

Many drivers assume parking their vehicle in a garage provides enough protection for the exterior and paint job. However, you should know every time the garage door opens, many dust and dirt particles flow in, settling on the finish of your vehicle. Take care to use a cover even on the cars parked indoors.

Keeping your vehicle's tires inflated properly will improve the longevity of your tires and your vehcile's overall fuel economy. Check my slideshow for my step-by-step pictures. I hope this helps you keep your tires inflated properly.
