My vehicles are my pride and joy--as well as my livelihood. I depend on them each day to get me where I need to go and looking good while doing it isn't so bad either! What I'm saying is this: keeping your vehicle clean is fine and well, but keeping it safe for the road is also a must. While you are tending to the exterior and unterior, get under the hood and tend to keeping your fluids topped off and keeping your oil changed. Keeping your tire's pressure not only keeps the tread wear even but it also saves on gas. I intend for our vehicles to go the distance so I get our oil changes and fluids checked as scheduled. Even new vehicles should be well maintained from day one. By doing this, you will notice sudden and even subtle changes immediately. Don't wait for a light to come on on your dashboard telling you that there is a problem. I like to think I know our vehicles inside and out. So keep your TOTAL vehicle clean and happy! We have just ONE mechanic who maintains our vehicles. He knows our cars just as well as we do. Drive safely! Marie
