As we turn up the heaters in our cars, when was the last time your cabin air filter was changed?

This is a minor item ($20-$35) but commonly overlooked. They're usually full of dust, insects, add some heat its perfect place for bacteria and mold to reside. If you have allergies and are susceptible to dust this something you should get checked.


The cold weather also places a greater strain on your battery.
If you're finding your it takes that little longer to start or is just not feeling right, now might be a good time to get your battery checked. With right equipment its quite easy to see if its a charge or battery issue.

I lot of money and heartache can be saved if we all paid that extra minute of attention to our cars.

You dont have to be a mechanic or a technical person to make these simple observations.
Next time your about to get into your regardless of it being old or new, ask your self these questions.

1. As you walk to your car, are there any tyres which look low or unnecessarily worn?
2. Are there any puddles or fluid leaking from your car?
3. Is my motor sounding or running funny?
4. How does my my steering feel when I drive? Is there a vibration?
5. When I brake is there a shuddering in the pedal or a vibration in the steering?
6. Are there any odd smells, petrol, electrical smell?
7. Most importantly are there any warning lights on the dash?

Once you get used to keeping an eye on the minor items, you'll quickly get a feel for what is out of the normal.
If something doesnt feel right there is no harm in getting it checked. Most reputable workshops are happy to do a quick check at no charge. It will either ease your mind or point out problem well in advance.
