Car Maintenance For Beginners

I love cars, and one of the best days of my life was the day I purchased my first vehicle. I have no desire to be a mechanic by trade, but I do like tinkering with my car and doing as much maintenance as I can. My blog is a beginner's guide to car maintenance. I share tips on looking after the fluid levels of the engine, caring for your vehicle interior, the best way to look after your car paint, and other similar subjects. The more love and care you give to your vehicle, the less often you need to take it to the mechanic's shop for attention.

Two Types of People Who Should Buy Used Cars

Are you thinking about getting a used car? Here are two types of people who should buy used cars. People who live or work in rural areas with muddy, badly-paved roads   Any driver who lives or works in a rural area, where the roads haven't been repaved in many years and are very muddy, should get a used car.
