Don't think dealers can sell you add-ons when you don't need them. Most car buyers consider that rust-proofing, paint protection, stain proofing the fabric and VIN etching can be cheaply done at the dealer's place only. But, you can get all the additional work done from your mechanic or you can even do it on your own at a much lesser price.

Bird droppings and tree sap, could be total nuisances as well. They leave the most unsightly stains that are extremely difficult to remove. They themselves also have high acid levels and so they too eat away at the car's paint-work.

The Military Intelligence thinking is not to allow soldiers to buy their own body armor BUT allow after market armor to be added to soft skinned vehicles. In 2005,I saw plywood walls filled with sandbags stacked 3 to 4 feet above the center of gravity and overloading the steering gear. How many people died in single vehicle rollovers caused by after market armor vs. people that died from privately owned body armor?

Examine the interior of the car and pay close attention to the driver's side for wear and tear. For example, if you notice that the break peddle or under the floor mat near the gas peddle has a lot of wear and tear this could be an indication that the very low mileage on the car is a result of mileage tampering. Also, check the front edge of the driver's seat and even the door handle for wear and tear to see if it is what you would expect with the number of miles indicated on the car. If the two do not add up, it is better to go shopping with other used car dealers in your area and completely avoid the one that you are at.



car shocks absorbers Have the tires rotated and balanced according to the manufacturer's suggestions. Be sure the tires have enough pressure in them to make them last even longer. Have the technician check the depth of the tread so you'll know when the tires need to be replaced. Check the shocks for optimal operation.

A custom cover will fit the car like a glove, as it has been specifically created for it. It will snug and provide the highest degree of protection. Nothing will be able to worm it way in, and therefore the car will be completely shielded from everything. Custom owners get to personalise their covers with a logo on the bonnet too, giving the car that extra special look.

Reliability is just one reason why you should only trust your car repairs to someone certified on the brand of vehicle you drive. They are trained to handle anything that could go wrong with your vehicle, so you can trust their diagnosis of the problem when they give it to you. And when they know the diagnosis quickly, then they also know how to go in and fix it quickly and properly. You aren't left guessing if the problem was really fixed and corrected to your liking.

Suspension dampers OLook under the car for oil spots, or leaks from the transmission, power steering or shock absorbers. Open the hood and check belts and hoses for cracks or wear. Remove the radiator cap. The coolant should be a clean, greenish (or blue or yellow, depending on brand of coolant used) color. Brown sludge inside the radiator neck may indicate poor maintenance.

Your vehicle's steering and suspension systems should be checked regularly, at least once a year along with a complete wheel alignment. A worn tie rod end can cause wandering, erratic steering, and excessive tire wear. If tie rod replacement is necessary, a wheel alignment is also required because tie rod replacement disturbs the toe setting. For best results, consult a qualified service technician for professional advice and service on your vehicle's suspension and steering systems.
