The Secrets Of Car Maintenance

By Maryl Joop


You may know the basics of how to keep your car running and intact, but there are a few secrets that most people don't know about car maintenance. These rules are easily kept and can go a long way in preserving the lifespan of your car and saving you money on car upkeep.

While looking for gas, avoid a station if the tanker is currently present. When they refill their underground tanks, it stirs up sediments that then find their way into your tank as your filling up. Sediment will clog fuel filters and injectors which will lead to poor performance and eventual repairs.

The process of figuring out who was responsible for a particular accident is a time consuming ordeal. Nobody wants to come out of the woodwork and say that they were responsible for an event that caused damage to another person's vehicle or inflicted any sort of injury on them. They would rather have someone else take responsibility to make it so they don't have to. If you're responsible for an accident, you should admit it right away.

Take off those extra key chains and postpone any switch failure. If your ignition key sticks when you try to use it, that means your ignition key is about ready to fail and you need to replace it immediately.

The idea of having to contact a lawyer after a fender bender is not desirable by any stretch of the imagination. We would like to think that we can resolve the matter by talking to everyone involved.

When your car is iced over, try not to break the ice by turning on the windshield wipers. The wiper motors when they are under too much stress can break down and leave you with a lot more trouble than you probably wanted.

With all of the snow and slush in winter, you and the rest of the world are pretty convinced that no washing is necessary. This is actually an incorrect assumption as winter is the most important time for you to wash your car. The most damage to it can be done by the snow, slush, mud, dirt, sand, and especially rock salt.

If you cannot be bothered to wash your whole car every now and again in the winter, be sure that you at least take care of the most vulnerable parts such as the bumper and underparts of the car. Don't use water to clean it unless you are sure that temperatures will be staying above freezing. Otherwise you will find yourself contacting your auto insurance agencies in Seattle or Monroe.

When the responsible party in an accident doesn't have insurance, you might have to go back to the legal arena. You should enter the situation with good intentions and hope for the best possible outcome.
