Trouble-Free Checklist

Listen. You drive your car every day, so you know how it's supposed to sound. If you notice a clunk when your car usually clinks, write it down and keep an ear out. If it continues, contact us to avoid more costly repairs.

Look. Is white smoke billowing out of the tailpipe? Steam shooting out of the hood when you drive down the freeway? If you notice any visual oddities, don't assume your car is just having a "bad day." Contact us and we will give you some peace of mind.

Feel. When you step on the accelerator, does your car hesitate and gurgle when it should zoom? If so, write it down. When you hit the brakes, does the vehicle feel like it has glass tires? Keep a record, take your car in for service and tell the service advisor.

Write it Down. When something goes wrong, or is just different from the norm for your car, write it down. List the condition, date, location where you were driving, and any unusual environmental factors (Don't know why my car stopped moving. It's Tuesday, the 23rd, and I am in a mud bog).
