Find out about all costs before hiring a mechanic. Make sure you're asking questions if you're not sure about the shop's rates. You have to figure out what you're going to get billed with and how to pay. Some shops will give an estimate on the repair time based on manufacturers guidelines. A manufacturer may consider a relatively minor repair to be an all day job.

If you have to drop your car off at a garage or dealership, instruct the mechanics that you wish to be called with an estimate before they do any work on your car. Do not let a mechanic convince you to pay for expensive repairs because the vehicle is already partly dismantled.

Get rid of any unnecessary key-chains that are attached to your car keys. You don't want to put all that extra weight on the car's ignition. Particularly, if you notice that the key is hard to extract from the ignition, you need to make a change!

If your headlights are not shining as brightly, check to see if they are clean. Sometimes there is a residue that covers them from the streets and that can make them dirty so they cannot put out enough light. Use a reputable glass cleaner to get the job done efficiently.

A car can be a huge investment. Besides needing it for transportation to work, school or other important destinations, it makes life easier and more convenient. Take care of your car the best you can! Remember the tips in this article so you can do auto repair yourself and save money.
