Helpful hints to a better running car--Not just for Volvos

Here are some helpful hints for a better-running car.  Not just for Volvo owners but all vehicle owners.  They may seem basic, but take a moment to look over these car-care tips and see if there isn't at least ONE of these pointers that you haven't considered or thought of for a little while:

• When you approach your vehicle, get in the habit of looking at your tires.
• Change your oil every 3000 miles.
• Have belts and hoses inspected twice a year
• Rotate and balance your tires every 7000 miles and inspect tread depth.
• We recommend buying "Road Hazard Coverage" when you purchase new tires.
• Align your vehicle twice a year.
• Change transmission fluid every 25,000 to 30,000 miles.
• Timing belts need to be changed anywhere from 60,000 to 90,000 miles.
• When you purchase a used vehicle have a reputable show (All Vovo, for instance) check the car out BEFORE you make the purchase. Also buy the extended warranty.
• Maintenance schedules are SO important to long lasting vehicles.
