car-shots-0061I have often heard it said that common sense is not very common, but when it comes to cars, a little goes a long way.

In this month’s newsletter, we are giving you some basic hints on keeping your wallet and you car in tip top shape.

After the round of bad weather we have had, it is absolutely necessary to get your car cleaned. The salt, sand, and gravel used to treat roads for ice can have a devastating effect on your vehicle. An automatic carwash would be good, although you should make sure they do not use brushes that will harm your finish. This can insure that the undercarriage of your car gets a thorough cleaning. The grime on the roads can affect more than the finish on your vehicle. The suspension and engine are open to the road as well.

Another area that often gets overlooked is what I call a “monthly walk around”. Once a month or so, take a friend and walk around your vehicle, while the other person is sitting behind the wheel. Check out turn indicators, brake & running lights, and headlights; observe any dents and dings that may be new; check your tires for wear; and make sure the windshield wipers are in good condition and working properly. All of this is simple, but can keep you from harm if you have a brake light out, or headlamps that are not working.  You might avoid getting a ticket as well.  It will familiarize you with the external aspects of your vehicle and keep you on your toes when it comes to simple maintenance.

Interesting and informative. But will you write about this one more?

I liked it. So much useful material. I read with great interest.

Are you a professional journalist? You write very well.

In truth, immediately i didn’t understand the essence. But after re-reading all at once became clear.

Very interesting and amusing subject. I read with great pleasure.

I read blogs on a similar topic, but i never visited your blog. I added it to favorites and i’ll be your constant reader.

Something to say?
