Car Maintenance - Do So Yourself And Save Money

Car Maintenance - Do So Yourself And Save Money

Some insurance agencies have their own network of auto body repair shops. However, these shops may often take short cuts and compromise on the quality of the repair, to save money. This is because; the insurance agencies usually offer them a pre-renegotiated amount that is mostly quite paltry.

In fact, many lives are saved this way. People go in for routine checkups; the doctor orders routine tests, and lo and behold there is a problem. If it would have been caught later on it might have become a bigger problem. It is the same thing with your car. If you take your car in to the mechanic to check out the car parts; you can very easily catch something early on in the game.

When your parts arrive the first thing you do is check the package for shipping damage. Make note of any holes in the package or evidence that the package was dropped. If there is shipping damage, report it right away to the shipping company. When you are ready to open the package, do so carefully. If there is a problem and you have to return the parts you will need the original shipping package. So do not damage it. Also check the invoice or packing slip to make sure what you ordered is what you got.

Over the years, I learned another little handy trick that seems to help when it comes to saving money on parts for my car. You know all of those old "buy here, pay here" car lots? Well, if you run into one that is locally owned, you may get a little deal on any spare parts that they have laying around. Many times, these spare parts are just lying around and cannot be used for anything in the lot. The owners of these little side car dealerships love to make a fast buck and are often more than willing to part with a few vehicle parts to make some fast cash.

Now we're all ready to gap your plugs. Correct gaps can be found on the engine specifications decal underneath the hood. It's a good practice to stick with the brand of plugs originally installed in your car at the factory. For Ford products they are Motorcraft, in General Motors products they are AC Delco; Chrysler products use Champion. Refer to a parts guide to find the correct type, or ask the salesperson in your local employed full time.

I just want to caution you. Please do not go to your dealer for parts. Obviously, you want to go there to get your basic maintenance taken care of and that should be just fine. But for more serious servicing you should stay as far away from your dealer as humanly possible. At least as far as your TDI car parts are concerned. Many dealers actually mark up their prices by as much as 300%, and will let you pay the price without batting an eye.

Spoilers! Of course this is one of the easiest and most noticeable performance car parts that you can add to your car. You can fit them on yourself or have it done for you. Find the best spoilers on the Internet, based on the brand and type of your car.

There are many outsourcing sites online that are search engines to find just about any part you need. No more going to the junkyard to find that old part that you need to keep your cars running. You just need to visit your computer and find a site and find the part.
