Topping Off Your Cars Fluids  

TIP! Ensure your car has an emergency kit. A battery charger, tire changing tools and an extra can of gas are just a few of the items to have on hand.

Does the thought of auto repair make you feel at a loss? There is no need to feel that way. Continue reading to find out how you can get a better grasp of what to do when making repairs to your car.

TIP! You don’t have to get a mechanic in for simple repairs. Many things are able to be fixed easily.

Make sure that your mechanic is A.S.E certified before you let them work on your car. If a mechanic has this certification, then they have taken a test and have a minimum of 2 years experience. This is a good way of finding a qualified mechanic who will care about doing a good job so they can keep their certification.

TIP! To keep rust from becoming an issue, wash and wax your car regularly. Rust will happen, but you can slow things down by keeping the car clean.

Never underestimate the value of keeping an emergency car kit handy. Be sure the kit has tools for charging the battery, adding gas to the tank, and changing tires. Blankets, matches, a flashlight, extra batteries, cans of food and some water help, too.

TIP! Check out reviews about body shops online. This can tell you about the public views of their skills in customer service and how well they can solve a problem.

Regularly check your radiator. Run your car, turn it off then pop the hood. Never open the radiator while the car is on. Check radiator fluid by using a dipstick and remember to dilute coolant with water prior to adding it.

TIP! Do not pay an auto mechanic until you have test driven your car to be sure they did their job. If you don’t do this, you may still have an issue after you get it home.

Wash your car often so you can prevent rust. Rust will happen, but you can slow things down by keeping the car clean. A good wax is your best friend: a friend that will protect that shiny new paint job for a long time.

TIP! Examine your headlights if they appear dim; they may simply need a good clean. Sometimes, dirt from the road transfers over to your lights dim them.

Are your headlights clean? Dirt from driving can build up on your headlights and block some light. Before taking your car into the mechanic for this, try giving the headlights a good cleaning first.

TIP! Try to learn the problem before you take your vehicle to a mechanic. You can save a lot of money by diagnosing it yourself, and it could also protect you from being a victim of fraud.

Now you’ve gleaned a bit of an education on car repairs. You don’t have to be taken advantage of by a mechanic ever again. Continue to learn all you can about care repair, so this never happens to you.
