A Bucket of Wisdom

Like our body, our car needs to be taken care of in order to make sure we can get the most out of its services for the longest period of time. We take an annual, quarterly and even daily check-up with our bodies. With our service vehicles it's essential to get a car service every 5,000-10,000 kilometres. Also like our human bodies, there are various steps which we can take care of it right in between check-ups. Just like what I did last week, I completed my collection of auto-repair with a tool balancer for my pneumatic tools. Next week, I will bring my ever reliable Mitsubushi Adventure for a change oil . I believed that my extra effort in terms of vehicle maintenance can mean big savings down the line.

Our car is quite a reliable one. It’s been with us for almost five years now and I have to be honest that we spent a lot for it from spare parts replacements to minor engine repairs. It’s a 1996 Nissan model and it’s still very functional. Though we have to save some extra cash in case our car broke down or its engine malfunctioned, I am still very grateful that we have one faithful friend we can rely in times of need. That’s our old car.

What I have in mind is the idea of having a motorhome repairs here in our place. It would be a very convenient thing for a car owner like me to have a peace of mind knowing that whatever is the need of his ride, it would be taken care of by a reliable insurance company.

Car Maintenance is very much essential for keeping your car in good working condition. This is the reason why I keep a chart at our garage to monitor the various maintenance schedule of our cars. I believe that proper and regular maintenance, my car will last longer and I can also save a lot of money as well. I enrolled in a short term course 10 years ago to orient myself with the basic principles of automotive. It’s really hard to rely always on the mechanic for trouble shooting. Thank God, I am able to do many aspects of car maintenance and minor repairs on my own. I change my own car oil...so that means a lot of savings. Of course for the tire alignments, engine checking and other major repairs, I’ll go to my mechanic.

Last week, I bought 4 sets of brand new tires for our vehicle. Thanks to the Tire Review I read online, it greatly helped me choose the best brand. Yah! It would be confusing what to purchase especially their are various of brands in the market. Some were made in China,Thailand, India and Japan. I was able to spend a bigger amount but it’s really worth for a higher and better brand.
