                                   Automotive Problem Eugene


   Poorly maintained tires, batteries and vehicle fluids are among the 10 most common reasons for vehicle breakdowns, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California.
Based on roadside assistance data from Auto Club contracted tow truck operators, the Club's Top Ten List of maintenance-related car breakdown causes (not necessarily ranked in order of frequency) are:

   Ignoring brake noises or warnings. Ignoring fluid leaks. Ignoring dashboard warning signs or gauges. Worn battery or bad battery connection. Worn or cracked belts or hoses/loose hose or belt connection. Not checking or changing fluids. Not rotating, aligning or inflating tires. Worn universal/constant velocity joints on drive shaft. Ignoring noise or vibrations from water pump. Not changing fuel filter.

   "Inadequate car maintenance means increased business for tow truck operators, but it also means costly delays and repairs for motorists," said Dean Holte, manager of the Emergency Road Service program. "The Auto Club wants to remind drivers that a little time and money spent on regular maintenance goes a long way toward reducing the chances of a frustrating vehicle breakdown."

   Having said all that please allow me to address another very important subject. BBB has a very nice video on the web explaining what is the best form of communication with your Auto Technician. This simple method of communication will never fail to save you money. Watch the video and keep your money in your bank. Click the Link below:
