Using an auto repair shop is expensive but probably necessary. Use the tips in this article to find the best way to keep your car well maintained.

Get to know the dashboard of your vehicle. Your dashboard should indicate all five various warning, which includes the check engine light, oil pressure warning, an alternator warning, a temperature warning and a brake warning. Have the ability to distinguish these different lights so you can easily establish what necessitates your attention.

It is important to maintain the level of your brake fluid. The brake fluid compartment is usually close to the engine and should be checked regularly. Make sure the compartment is two third full and add more brake fluid if you need to. There might be a leak in your system if you often need to add more brake fluid.

Make it a point to look over your user guide to understand what types of fluids (oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, steering fluid) your vehicle necessitates and to find out how to check and refill these yourself. Continue to keep a couple of bottles of each fluid in the trunk of your vehicle in the instance of emergencies.

Don't just ignore minor exasperating noises or issues. These minor issues, for example noisy brakes, are normally cheap to repair.

Avoid being run over by your own car! When you jack your car up, be sure to set your emergency brake. Place bricks behind the tires you are not working on to keep your car from rolling. Keep a set of wedges or three or four bricks in the trunk of your car in case you have to change a flat tire on a hill.

Hopefully this article has helped you gain a firmer grasp on how to handle auto repairs in the future. It's important that you make the right decisions so that you can enjoy your car. No one wants to constantly worry about what to do when something goes wrong with their vehicle.
