How To Find Your Way Under the Hood and Around the Car - Introduction
Intro - Engine - Inspection
Welcome to the world of car care

Whether or not you pump your own gas your car probably receives less attention than it should. Regular maintenance checks and service reduce the cost of vehicle ownership. These should include periodic diagnostic checks of engine fuel, ignition and emissions control systems.

  • For maximum fuel efficiency and cleaner air keep your engine in tune. 
  • For safe driving keep brakes, steering and suspension systems in A-1 condition. 

Most of the checks and services shown here can be done at little or no cost they're quick and easy to do and they can save time, money and inconvenience now and later.
