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.
