These days,
people are keeping their cars longer than ever before. In fact, according to
the latest statistics from R.L. Polk Co compiled earlier this year, the average
car on the road is now almost 11 years old!
When the economy took a nose dive in late 2008 this trend began and has
been growing ever since with improved manufacturing techniques.
Here is a
general guide of what should be routinely checked after 100,000 miles -
1. Fluids…the lifeblood of the human body as
well as your vehicle
2. The timing belt and water pump
3. Tires and brakes…don’t wait until this mark
to pay attention to these two things
4. Miscellaneous things such as the fuel filter,
air filter, etc.
Having a
great mechanic who has made it a specialty to work on older cars is a must
these days. That is why you can always
trust Jim Liacos and his professional team at Jim’s Auto Service. If you live in the Raleigh NC area always
trust Jim with your old, reliable vehicle.
