Gas Mileage: One Tip Nobody Ever Mentioned About
If you are like most people then you might not even think about your car until you realize you are 2 months past the date on your windshield for your next oil change.

The first thing that you should do when looking for a transmission repair shop is to get a quote. Don't let anyone do any work on your vehicle without first telling you the cost. This will give you a chance to compare prices from the competitors and to do some research in order to ensure that you are getting a fair price for the amount of work being done.

This is an old scam. Put 20,000 miles on those 50,000 mile tires and you may find the adjusted price of a new pair under warranty is higher than what you can buy them or a comparable set for outright.
