  • How to Minimize Your Risks When Renting a Car During Travels

    Renting a car means some risk; if you return the car damaged and the agency's insurance doesn't cover the damage, and your own car insurance doesn't kick in, you may be liable for the costs. You may also find that you're charged for things you weren't expecting when you made the rental arrangement. Note a few ways to minimize your risks of liability and extra charges when renting a car during your travels.

  • Why It's Recommended That You Buy Brand Name Auto Parts for Your Car

    When buying auto parts for a car repair, you can choose between brand name parts and generic parts. Very often generic parts are more affordable, but it's usually recommended that you buy brand name parts simply because they may fit better than generic car parts. This is because name brand parts are made to exacting specifications that may not be provided by generic parts manufacturers. Remember that you may not be able to tell this difference yourself as parts may look exactly the same to you, but even a microscopic defect can make a tremendous difference under your car's hood.

After installing a new 4x4 suspension, the work doesn't stop there. It might be good to think of a few accessories that can better protect your suspension and your vehicle when off the road.

  • Troubleshooting Common Problems With 4WD Vehicles

    Vehicles that offer 4WD, or four-wheel-drive, are very good for snowy roads or when driving on soft dirt, as this means that all four wheels are working to push the vehicle forward. Typically these vehicles allow you to shift into 4WD on your own while the car is moving, and you can usually tell when the 4WD is working, as the vehicle changes gears. If you notice problems with the 4WD or with your vehicle in general, you might note a few common troubleshooting tips before taking it to your local mechanic.

Tips For Buying A Quality Used Car

I've always driven used cars, and when I first started driving, I made some costly decisions and bought a couple of cars that just weren't worth the money I spent on them. I knew I needed to learn how to inspect a car's engine and how to spot warning signs when I was buying a used car, so I started reading everything I could find on the topic, including basic car mechanics and maintenance. I started this blog to share what I've learned over the years, and I hope my tips will prevent other new drivers buying used cars that will drain their wallet and sap the enjoyment out of driving. I hope you find my posts informative and useful.
