Don't pay money for air. Familiarize yourself with the correct air pressure of your car tires and invest in an air compressor. Check your tires on a regular basis and keep them properly inflated on your own. Being able to do this yourself on a regular basis will save you money in terms of wear and tear and regular maintenance.
 
Know your car before taking it in for any auto repairs. If you have little knowledge on the specs of your model car, you may end up being taken for a ride without you knowing it. Read through your manual at the bare minimum before going for any larger repairs.
 
Think about using a mechanic who works from home. Mechanics who work from home are often able to charge less because they don't have the overhead that shops do. You could save a lot of money this way.
 
Take off all of your keychain charms; just use your key. The ignition is not suited to that weight, even when you think it isn't much. 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 keychain!
 
Have a repair shop in mind before you run into trouble. If you wait until an emergency, you may end up going with a shady mechanic who is convenient because you are desperate. Ask friends for a mechanic with a good reputation. Then when you run into repair problems, you can trust you won't be ripped off.
 
Keep a log that includes information on any maintenance that you have ever done on your car. To make things easy, put this log in your glove compartment box. If there is an issue with your car, this information can help the technician figure out what is going on much more quickly.
 
Educate yourself about questions to ask your mechanic before you go to the shop. There are several different classifications of car parts, and these include salvage, new, and re-manufactured and reconditioned. "New" parts have been just created to the manufacturer's specifications either by them or an independent retailer. If a part is rebuilt or reconditioned, it has simply been fixed or restored. Salvage parts are used.
 
Check a variety of sources of information before attempting an auto repair for the first time. Do a good online search, watch instructional videos and seek out books at your local library and take time to talk with an experienced mechanic before you dive in to try that repair. Once you feel comfortable with the concept, make a list of the things you need and the steps you will need to take to make the repair successfully.
 
If you just bought a car, and you realize there is a problem, get in touch with the manufacturer. It may be a recall issue if multiple people report the same problem. In most cases, the manufacturer will fix your car for you.
 
If you don't think the mechanic fully understands the problem, ask them to take the car for a short drive. Often, they can better diagnose what is happening this way. Always go along for the drive as well, and make sure to point out anything that has been bothering you. If they refuse, the person is probably not the mechanic for you.
 
Although dealer mechanics can be pricy, most of the time they offer the best experience. The technicians at dealerships are trained to work on your particular model of car. They have rapid diagnostic tools and are used to handling common problems with your specific vehicle. These mechanics regularly receive additional training.
 
Do not get any diagnostics done at a repair shop unless you can trust the people working there to be honest. There are a lot of dishonest people out there that will damage your vehicle then claim that you need to get it repaired soon or you will be in danger.
 
Check your tire valves regularly. Make sure the caps are still tight and keep a few spare caps around in case you lose one. Your tires could get flat overnight if you lose a cap. You should always double check the caps after inflating your tires or checking the pressure.
 
How do you think you're going to react next time your car breaks down on the side of the road? Surely, the expense can still be great and it will not be fun, but don't you think that you can better make a decision regarding repairs? You can if you access the tips that you've been given.
