Given the freezing of previous topic would like to change tactics. Let's look in the mirror.
Many vehicles show early signs that they are not having maintenance done on them. Here are some examples
1). Get new tires and fail to get tires balanced. Fail to get alignment. Fail to fix bushings and ball joints that show subtle wear out. When it all costs $1000 many will option for a cheap path of just buying tires. Wrong move.
2). Fail to wash vehicle. Fail to look closely at paint job for nicks and dings and failing to use touch up to control little rust holes. Failure to do a good wax job once a year. Could cost you a paint job if lucky. It's $50 in supplies yearly and elbow grease. Just do it.
3). Failure to flush out coolent system. Is the vehicle running too hot? Did you replace hoses that are leaking and old ? Could cost you $200 to get everything done right with superior supplies and controlling the wastes.
4). Failure to replace timing belt. Talk about a ticking engine self destruct pending. If it's 100000 miles on the vehicle and you have zero clearance valves (aka non free wheeling) you need it done now. Get the water pump and serpentine belt and all the pulleys done too. $1000.
5). Get the oil changed at every 5000 miles. Just do it. And make sure you have no fluid leaks. Again just do it.
What else is not getting done ? At least once a month run the vehicles at highway speed for an hour to get the catalytic converter working?
