Weekend Project

This is one of those weekends where you came to the realization that all the summer projects that were not done by Labor Day probably will not get done till next year. It is too early to tear up the gardens and flower beds, too late to start painting the house.So take this time to learn about your vehicles before the weather turns nasty. If you bought a new one it is time to see where all the fluids are checked, many new vehicles do not have a transmission dipstick and some have the battery under the back seat, on many the oil dipstick is even hard to find. This is all a result of a crowded engine compartment. If you have the same vehicles check the fluids have you been lack in servicing check the coolant does it need flushing, how does the PS and brake fluid look, a check of the tranny fluid and don’t forget the washer fluid. Take a walk around check the tires, if they look worn it is time to replace. I don’t believe in the penny theory that is really close to no tread at all. Check the lites and wiper blades. Get out the hose and wash the wheel wells and engine or better yet take it to the pressure wash, be careful under the hood you may get water in a connector if you are slight on auto knowledge maybe best to stick with the hose in the engine compartment. Look on the bright side you will stay busy for awhile so the woman in your life won’t mention the honey do list. Having 4 vehicles I can usually make this a 2 day affair.
