Be sure the kit has tools for charging the battery, adding gas to the tank, and changing tires. It is also wise to include a flashlight, some fresh batteries and a blanket in case your vehicle breaks down in cold weather or at night. | ||
- | + | If you have to take your vehicle to a repair shop, arm yourself with information and ask questions. Ask what caused your problem in the first place to avoid the issue happening in the future. When you understand what's going on and put preventative measures in place, you will save a lot of money. | |
- | + | Make sure you often check the radiator. You need to allow your car to run for a couple of minutes, shut down the engine and then open up the hood. You should never open the radiator of a car that is running. Check radiator fluid by using a dipstick and remember to dilute coolant with water prior to adding it. | |
- | + | Keep your car records on hand. It's a good idea to place them in the vehicle you drive just in case you're in need of repairs while you're out and about. The mechanics who work on your car will need to see your maintenance records before working on your car. Good documentation can help diagnose problems a lot faster. | |
- | + | Do not pay an auto mechanic until you have test driven your car to be sure they did their job. People often don't do this, realizing afterward that the problem still persists. | |
