Nothing is worse than the feeling you get if your car breaks down on the highway. Besides the immediate dangers of being stranded on the roadside, you are also facing the problem of hiring a mechanic in a hurry. How do you select the right mechanic for your needs? Apply the advice that follows in order to identify the best car repair services.
Check the tread on your tires regularly to make sure they are safe. Tires that have less than one quarter of an inch of tread probably need to be replaced. Also be aware of any bulges or cuts on the surface of your tires as this may indicate a weak area that could blow out and cause an accident while you are driving.
It is not legal for a mechanic to start working on your car before you officially authorize them to do so, usually by signing a contract. Be careful what you authorize the mechanic to do. You should only sign documents that include a detailed list of the needed repairs and their prices.
It is important to maintain the level of your brake fluid. The brake fluid compartment is usually close to the engine and should be checked regularly. Make sure the compartment is two third full and add more brake fluid if you need to. There might be a leak in your system if you often need to add more brake fluid.
Ask your friends and family for advice on a trust worthy auto body shop. It can be very hard to find a shop that will not rip you off or produce poor quality work. Asking for advice can save you from a lot of wasted money and time trying to do it on your own.
You should not wait too long before changing the windshield wiper blades on your car. Failing to do this may cause them to work improperly the next time it is raining outside, which can lead to an accident. It is a good idea to change them every couple of years/
Keep well-organized records on your car. You should have readily available records of everything in regards to maintaining your car when seeing a mechanic. Well-organized records can help them diagnose an issue correctly the first time. Unorganized records may lead to repeat repairs and lots of wasted money and time.
Taking proper care of a vehicle is an extremely essential and important part of life. Even if you only learn to do a few easy maintenance tasks, you can save a lot compared to what a mechanic would charge you. Implement what you have just read the next time you need your car repaired.

SEMA seen: ‘Outlaw’ custom 1968 Honda S800 Coupe
Honda celebrates 60 years in the US
Central Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center is where I spend most of my time. Major manufacturers including Toyota, Chevrolet, Ford and Honda are featured there year after year. This year, I was drawn more to the Honda display due to the variety and specifically because of a perfectly placed piece of history: A 1968 Honda S800 Coupe dubbed the “Outlaw.â€
Based off an original S800, one of the first production cars Honda made, producer and actor Daniel Wu built this custom piece of Honda history.
Instead of doing a ridiculous engine swap, Wu decided to have the original 800cc 4-cylinder engine rebuilt back to new condition. I’m not necessarily a purist but am very pleased that he made that decision.
I did state that it was a “custom†build and there are several custom features. A custom body kit was made by Pandem’s Kei Miura, a name likely to be mentioned for the kits produced for several of the 2020 Toyota Supras displayed this year at the SEMA Show.
Pandem offers a variety of wide-body kits for imports, exotics, domestics and European cars, but this kit is bound to remain one of a kind.
