Auto Repair is something that everyone who owns a car has to do. This maintenance is not optional if you want your car to run properly.

Not having the proper maintenance work done can be detrimental to your vehicle. It can cause minimal problems such as using more gas per mile, while in worst case scenarios you can burn the engine down and ruin your entire car. Below is some suggested routine maintenance. Louisville Kentucky Auto Repair is available to assist in the maintenance. Do it yourself auto repair can be cheaper, but if you are not an expert it can cost you more in the long run.

•    Our advice is to take your car to Louisville KY Auto Repair and have the work done for you.
•    Every 3,000 miles or 3 months have your oil changed.
•    Between 15,000 and 30,000 have your air filter changed.
•    After 10,000 have your cabin filter changed.
•    Brake Fluid should be changed every 24,000 miles or 2 years.
•    Have the tire rotated every 7,500.

These are just precautionary routine auto maintenance. When you take your car to Louisville Auto Repair they will explain and suggest to you other scheduled maintenance that will benefit your car.

“President Obama signed into law a program the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is calling the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS). This is a federal program that helps you purchase a new, more fuel efficient vehicle when you trade in a less fuel efficient vehicle.”

• Your vehicle must be less than 25 years old on the trade-in date
• Only purchase or lease of new vehicles qualify
• Generally, trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG (some very large pick-up trucks and cargo vans have different requirements)
• Trade-in vehicles must be registered and insured continuously for the full year preceding the trade-in
• You don’t need a voucher, dealers will apply a credit at purchase
• Program runs through Nov 1, 2009 or when the funds are exhausted, whichever comes first.
• The program requires the scrapping of your eligible trade-in vehicle, and that the dealer disclose to you an estimate of the scrap value of your trade-in. The scrap value, however minimal, will be in addition to the rebate, and not in place of the rebate.
