Keeping Your vehicle Safe From robbers And Vandals The Inexpensive Way

Ok, now that I've scared the be-gee-bers out of you, if doing it yourself is still your goal, do your research. Get a Chilton's manual, or a Hayes manual for your specific car. Make sure you have the appropriate tools for the job and understand the proper steps to accomplish the job.

You can manufacture this device yourself, from products you can purchase at the local hardware store and auto parts near me. The total cost of the parts should not exceed thirty dollars. With repeat business at the store, you can probably negotiate a deal to lower the cost further.

Put on your thinking cap. We're talking about your life right now and planning how you intend to spend some of your precious future. This is important stuff and worthy of your complete concentration, not only now, but until you accomplish your job goal.

You can forget going to the corner gas station and buying a Genaric radiator hose, as you would have done back in the 70's. Today they're all preformed with a number of corners required to make the twists and turns to properly align with the engine and radiator connection points. The radiator hose has become a specialty item that is car and engine specific. You have little choice but to go back to the dealer or have it special ordered at a parts store near me.

Also, get a vehicle history report from CarFax or Experian and present it with the car. Among other things, these records will show the vehicle's ownership history.

Fluid levels & Condition- Check the engine oil after the car has had a moment to sit, make sure there is enough oil & it has good viscosity, no grit, carbon or dirt. Engine oil is best if it is on the lighter colored side. Transmission coolant should not smell or look "burned". Radiator fluid should be properly filled & mixed.
