How do you take care of your automobile?
Do you service the car regularly or does noise remind you of the need for car service?
I do thinks like fluid and filter changes regularly. Brakes get changed when they start squeaking or I notice the pads are low. Wheel bearings/hubs get replaced when they go bad. Pretty much anything that isn't regular maintenance has to break before I'll replace it.
My husband has taught me that cars need regular maintenance, if you don't do this you will only have more car repairs service down the road (literally). It does cost some money, but it does pay off later. Finding a reputable, reasonable, good mechanic is also important in keeping the car well tuned.
Clear out the rubbish every trip. Wash the exterior every week. Hoover the interior every week. Detail once every month and perform all maintenance when required if not sooner,
I love my cars and bikes,
MJ.

I bought a new Honda crv in 2003 and still drive it.I have only spent $2000 for normal maintenance, not counting tires. I see many people in my town driving older cars and wonder how long people on here have owned and drive their car that they bought new?
