How familiar are you with your car or truck Near Everson, Washington? More specifically, if there was a malfunction, would you be able to address the issue? You don’t have to have the degree of mechanical knowledge as a professional technician. However, you should be able to take care of fundamental automotive tasks at least to some degree on your own. Here are some of these tasks motorists of all backgrounds should know.

Changing a Tire

All it takes is driving over a nail or sharp object to end up with a flat tire. Do you know how to remove the flat tire and replace it with a spare tire? If you have never changed a tire, or it has been years since the last time you did it, take some time to practice in your garage. Not being able to change a tire may result in having to call a tow service.

Replacing Windshield Wipers

Most parts replacements should be left to an auto service. However, windshield wipers are one of the items that car owners can replace themselves. Windshield wipers are also inexpensive and available at your local auto store. Most wipers have changing instructions on the package. Practice removing the existing wipers and putting them back in place.

Checking the Oil

Make a habit of checking the oil at least once every 30 days. This ensures that you detect early signs of oil degradation and can schedule an oil change at an auto repair shop. You should be able to locate the dipstick, pull it out, and identify whether the oil is clean or is low/dirty.
