The most common question we hear
from consumers is, “What do I need to do to take care of my car and avoid big
repair bills?”
Fortunately, the answer is
simple: Establish and follow a regular vehicle maintenance plan. A maintenance
plan is essential for protecting your automotive investment and maximizing the
reliability and safety of your vehicle.
Start with reading your vehicle
owner’s manual, where you’ll find the automaker’s recommendations and
maintenance schedules based on your driving patterns and habits.
Next, you’ll need to find a good
repair shop. Whether a shop is connected to a new car dealership, part of a
national chain or an independent service provider, the most important thing to
look for is whether they have ASE-certifiedtechnicians on staff.
You’ll also need to know how to
communicate properly and effectively to avoid misunderstandings that can
increase repair and diagnostic costs.
So exactly how do you do all of
this?
Easy! Just view our collection of
articles that will help you answer your auto maintenance questions. You’ll find
both specific advice as well as general recommendations that apply to all types
of cars and trucks, covering a wide range of topics.
