    Advice to get your used car repair

    Are you interested in repairing your vehicle yourself? Fixing a used car can be intimidating, but it
    is also a very rewarding experience. Getting Started You don't need to be a master mechanic or
    have an advanced degree in automotive engineering to fix your car. Anyone can do it with the
    right knowledge and tools. You can start out by learning the basics: How to check and change
    the oil and where to place the unleaded in your fuel tank. Once you get more comfortable, learn
    how to replace a burnt-out headlight, rotate tires and inspect tires.

    Replace Your Wiper Blades


    It's simple to identify when your blades need to be replaced. Simply push the washer button and
    check to see whether your blades are clean. They're toast if they streak. There will be plenty of
    budget blades at the auto parts shop but go for a name brand instead (ANCO, Trico or Bosch).
    They are more expensive than budget blades, but their higher-quality rubber cleanses better,
    provides better UV protection, and lasts longer. Follow the installation instructions on the
    package. Be sure you have a firm grip on the wiper arm once you remove the old blade. If it
    gets away from you, it can hit the windshield with enough force to crack it.

    Shake Your PCV Valve


    This may appear complicated, but it is not. If your vehicle has a PCV valve (some late-model
    vehicles do not), remove it every other oil change. In most situations, the valve is located on top
    of the engine and is linked to a vacuum pipe. Some late-model vehicles lack PCV valves, so
    don't get too worked up over it. Remove the vacuum hose from the valve and unscrew it. Then,
    do the world's simplest diagnostic test: shake it. It's fine if it produces a metallic clicking sound.
    Replace it if it makes no noise or sounds mushy. However, don't replace it based just on
    appearance—all used PCV valves appear filthy.

    Replace Engine Air Filter


    Replace your engine air filter after inspecting it. Remove the old filter by unscrewing or
    unclipping the air filter box retainers. Then, using a shop light held behind the filter, determine
    how much light passes through. Replace the filter if it blocks more than 50% of the light. If not,
    replace it, secure the air filter box lid, and continue driving. Get the whole step-by-step guide on
    replacing your air filter here. It's one of the simplest ways to repair an automobile.

    Gas Lifts
    Why put your brain on the line when you can repair gas lift cylinders yourself? Simply purchase
    new lifters from any auto parts shop. Then, have someone keep the hood or lift gate open while
    you disconnect and replace the worn lifts. Using a metric socket set, many styles easily unbolt.
    Others use a ball and socket connection kept in place by a spring clip. Simply insert a tiny flat-
    bladed screwdriver between the spring clip and the cylinder to release it. Pull the cylinder away
    from the ball stud. Here's a step-by-step tutorial to replace your gas lifts.

    The right advice can make a world of difference in making your used car repair easy. You will be
    on firm footing if you know in advance what can be done to make your vehicle run smooth and
    work efficiently.
