Yesterday I went in for an oil change (which i do about every other month because I drive so much for work) and the guys working on my car kept complimenting me on the good job I do keeping up with car repairs and such. Not that I do anything special, but I just try to follow the recommendations for when things like filters and fluids need to be changed :)
They told me that they wish all customers were as responsible as me and got things on the car fixed a little at a time so they didn’t have to spend a ton of money at once when things break down. Considering my history of bad luck with cars I am trying hard to keep this one running well for as long as possible. So I gladly accept the compliment and will continue to follow the recommended schedule for taking good care of my car!
