Most late model automobiles (those manufactured in the last 10 years) will run well for 200,000 plus miles if correctly maintained. This does NOT mean that repairs will not be required.

Minimum Basic Maintenance

• Change oil and filter every 3000 miles. This means every 3000 miles even if the manufacturer recommends 6000 miles or more between oil changes. Oil is cheap compared to replacing the car or funding major repairs.


• I recommend a tune up every 20,000 miles. Many times this require nothing more than changing the spark plugs. Check with your technician and repair shop on this. If you have an honest mechanic he or she will tell you what you need. This is the major reason for finding an honest

• Check your air filter with every oil change. It will not need changing every time but under dusty and dirty conditions most owners do not change the air filter often enough.


• Have your brakes inspected at least annually depending upon the amount that you drive and the conditions under which you drive. Insist on high quality brake pads and parts they will pay for the added expense with long wear and greater safety. I recommend Wagner Theroquiet pads.


• Have the wheel alignment checked with every set of tires or anytime that a wear problem, or steering control problem show up.


• Have your battery checked every two years. Low battery voltage can create all kinds of difficult

• Add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner with every oil change.


• Change the fuel filter every two years if it is external to the fuel tank. Change it more often if condition or operation of the vehicle indicate the need.


• In general the manufactures’ recommended service interval is adequate for transmissions, differentials and wheel bearings. Most owners do not service their transmissions at the recommended intervals and pay the price.


• Timing belts deserve a little special treatment. Do not go over the manufactures’ recommended interval for the conditions of your driving. A separate article will address timing belts.


• Treat you car with the love that you would give a cherished possession.

The diversity of the automobile market has increased over the past couple of years. Today, it is not uncommon to see a shiny, Escalade flanked by Hybrid cars and Toyota Camrys at a car dealership. Flicking through the television channels, you will notice a variety of car customization shows, which focus on adding additional features to current and older model vehicles. Some of these additions include flashy rims, as well as television installations with DVD capabilities.

A car DVD system may be one of the leading trends in dressing an automobile, but they also serve many different purposes. Many believe that drivers will not be able to fully enjoy a car DVD system while traveling, but this is far from the

truth. Long family trips don’t have to be a downer for younger travelers. Coloring books and snacks can only occupy you for so long. Both the kids, as well as the adult driver will enjoy the benefits to having onsite video entertainment. All you have to do is put in a favorite movie and hours of a trip pass with ease. There are two main kinds of auto DVD systems that you may consider for your vehicle. One option is portable, while the other is installed within the dashboard.

If you are someone that takes pride in your car or cars, and you install performance car parts, then you already know that you have to be able to take care of these parts. The most popular form of performance car parts is the tires and rims, which can be located and put on to any car ever made. If you go even a little bit of time such as a few weeks without cleaning these parts, it can make the look of your car go from hip to poor right away. Those wheels that have somewhat of a bright finish will look bad if there is an over abundance of brake dust that has accumulated itself on the rim.

As time goes on and car manufacturers continue to produce more stable and reliable vehicles, the question arises that is there any benefit in buying a new car when a used car has many benefits?

I can think of many occasions when friends and family have chosen to part exchange in their existing vehicle for a new one every year or two, but nowadays it seems as though you are no better off buying a new vehicle than you are by purchasing a used one, and I ll try and explain why.

Anyone who has ever bought a new vehicle and has come to the point of selling it some years later, has probably been in the situation

where they ll ask Is that all it s worth, I paid X amount for it only two years ago . This is because the value of a new vehicle falls dramatically as soon as it is driven out of the showroom.
