Alternator replacement, and what Ive learned
The car owner can perform for himself certain basic car repair and maintenance tasks such as routine checks of steering and brake fluids, oil and oil filter, air filter, wiper blades and fluid, headlights and turn signals. Be sure, too, to check mirrors, dashboard lights, door locks and gear shaft and keep the interior upholstery looking as good as the day the car rolled off the assembly line. Naturally, a good appearance can make you feel better about driving an older car. Some car repair and maintenance tasks that you may wish to leave to a technician include checking your timing belt, transmission, radiator, air conditioning, and electrical and computer systems. Your regular car repair shop also maintains detailed records of all service work performed on your vehicle, which will be invaluable to the next owner of your car.
