by Fred Gagnon


If your car has issues, you can feel lost with how to proceed. If you don't know what you're doing when it comes to car repairs, it's time to start learning. Thankfully, the below article provides an abundance of knowledge that will assist you.

There are many how-to videos that you can turn to for auto repairs. Everything from a simple tire change to changing your fuel filter can be found in video form. These videos will take you through each step in making the repair and will save you the time and the cost of taking it to a mechanic.

Check the transmission fluid every two to three months. Let your engine run and open the hood of your car. Use the transmission dipstick to check the fluid levels. If there is not enough fluid in your transmission you probably have a leak somewhere in your system. It is best to take the car to a mechanic so he can locate the leak.

There is no better way to find an auto mechanic than to get a referral. Can you get a recommendation from a friend or someone that you work with? You can learn a lot about the overall quality of a person's work, the price, and the level of customer satisfaction. Those close to you will be able to give you an honest retelling of their experiences with certain mechanics.

Be sure to read your owner's manual to find out what kinds of fluids (oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, steering fluid) your car needs and to learn how to check and top these off yourself. Keep a few bottles of each fluid in the trunk of your car in case of emergencies.

Replacing the bulbs on your taillights or headlights yourself can save you both time and money. It is simple to do on some cars and can save you a lot of money. Ask whether someone you know can show you how to fix it.

Always keep a clear and easy path to your key on the key chain. It is advised that you remove any and all fluffy key chains from the ring. The ignition of your car is not meant to hold much weight. Although these key chains may not feel heavy to you, they will to your car. If your key begins to stick, you need to replace your tumblers and get rid of your favorite troll buddy that is weighing down your key chain!
