TO MAINTAIN GOOD PERFORMANCE OF A CAR

*Check spark plugs can give the engine a good combustion. By checking the spark plugs the mechanics can find any problem or whether cylinders are functioning and they can be checked. Changing the spark plug can give wonderful result but make sure that replaced with recommended or original parts.
*Air filter does the job of nabbing dirt and airborne particles, protecting carburetors and fuel injectors. A dirty filter will block the air to engine and continuous airflow will clog, resulting in slow poor performance of engine.
*The fuel filter must be changed at proper interval. Fuel system matter can block injector inlet if not filtered. Fuel system will work more efficiently and it will have a good performance, if fuel filter not regularly change power loss and difficult starting will encounter.

TIPS on your car

*Never attempt to remove the radiator cap when the radiator is hot or the engine is running. The water pressure may burst out and may burn you if the cap is removed while it is hot.
*Skip the air filter change at your repair estimate on the oil change schedule and do it yourself. It's for real you'll save about $5 to $10 and the process is easy as you plugging in an appliance.
*Check steering/suspension lubrication every 3000 miles. Do this at the same time you perform your regular oil change to avoid forgetting

PLANNING A ROAD TRIP

The easiest way for a your road trip is to perform a full safety inspection on your car a week before your trip so if something pops up, it would give the repair shop time to take care of it.

Having a mechanic to look at your car so that day before your road trip is not a proper idea. If there's a problem, it could take some time to fix and your trip have a chance to be canceled or delay.
