Regularly check your radiator. You should let your car run for a few minutes, shut the engine and open your hood. Be careful not to open your radiator if the car's running. Use a dipstick to gauge how much radiator fluid you have, keeping in mind that most types need to be diluted with water.

Don't take an emergency car kit for granted. Include a spare tire, a jack, a battery charger and a container full of gas. Blankets, matches, a flashlight, extra batteries, cans of food and some water help, too.

Always try to figure out the problem with your car before you bring it in for repairs. You will not be duped, and you can save tons of money when you find out the problem yourself. It's an unfortunate fact that there are dishonest mechanics who will tell you your car has issues when it doesn't.

Think about locating a person that fixes vehicles and owns a garage. As long as they have experience they can do the same work but they often charge far less for the labor. This is a good way of saving money while investing in your local community.
It is a good idea to use referrals to find a decent mechanic. Speak with others you know to see if they can recommend someone to you. This allows you to ask about the price, quality of work and satisfaction. People can tell you what type of experience they had and whether the mechanic was honest or not.

Avoid fluffy, silly keychains, or find a way to separate your auto key from that bunch of keys on the chain! Though it may not seem to be all that heavy, your car's ignition cannot handle that much weight pulling down on the key. The last thing that you want is your key to stick, so try to reduce weight immediately.

Watch out for obvious warning signs that a repair person is not up to snuff. If your mechanic talks in confusing terms or tells you not to worry about the details, then it may be time to find one who you have confidence in.` Make sure that you trust the person that you are working with.
