Today's cars, light trucks, and sport-utility vehicles are high-tech marvels with digital dashboards, oxygen sensors, electronic computers, unibody construction, and more. They run better, longer, and more efficiently than models of years past.
But when it comes to repairs, some things stay the same. The following tips should help you along the way:
Do your homework before taking your vehicle in for repairs or service.
Once you are at our location, communicate your findings.
Stay involved. . . Ask questions.
When you think about it, you know your car better than anyone else. You drive it daily and know how it feels and sounds when everything is right. So don't ignore its warning signals.
Use all of your senses to inspect your car frequently. Check for:
Legally, automakers cannot specify which parts are used to complete your vehicle's service. You may use any brand-name quality parts such as Advance Auto Parts auto parts to replace fan belts, hoses, brakes, exhaust or chassis parts, and more.
Ensure your vehicle is serviced at the intervals specified in your owner's manual or warranty booklet, and keep clear records of your vehicle's maintenance. Be sure to record the date, parts installed, vehicle identification number, and mileage on the invoice. Keep these receipts in a safe place. If you have a service log in your owner's manual or warranty booklet, use it.
Even if you lease a vehicle, you are responsible for all maintenance and repairs to keep the vehicle in good working order, as outlined in the owner's manual.
Check your owner's manual. It will give you all the necessary information regarding specific parts and service intervals. Make sure to read it thoroughly and note any exceptions or severe service notations. Warranties are there to protect the consumer, but you must follow the requirements.
The choice of where to have your car serviced and repaired is yours. However, you will probably have to return the vehicle to the dealer for any repairs covered under warranty. Thoroughly check your warranty to be sure which repairs are covered.
Some are manufactured by the same supplier and may even be warranted longer than original equipment parts. Aftermarket parts supplied by Advance Auto Parts meet or exceed manufacturers' specifications.
If you have a problem, contact the customer service department of the car manufacturer and ask for assistance. They are concerned with customer satisfaction and may be able to help.
