Get prepared for the hols.
We don’t like spending it, but if we don’t we could be in for bigger bills around the corner. A little bit of money spent in maintaining your car is well worth the bother. With the school holidays around the corner, many of us will want to head away for a break. This usually means longer journeys in the car, and longer periods away from home and the normal routines we find ourselves performing on a weekly basis at work, varsity or school.
If your car is nearly due for a service, don’t hold off till after the holidays. Get it done now. If you regularly have your car checked over by the book, then you’re sure to be fine. Still, it could be worth having your mechanic check over your vehicle in readiness for your trip away. Getting the odd little thing fixed prior to the trip away is worth it in the end. So here are a few of the basic things you’re going to need to get checked over on your car.
What Price Publicity?
We’ve told you about the World’s Fastest Lawnmower, and we’ve seen the film clips on jet powered roller skates.
Well, move over PR powerhouses! Oz V8 Supercars have announced a V8 skateboard.
Sydney's Cycle Lanes
Clover Moore’s attempt at alleviating congestion in the City of Sydney is fraught with obstacles such as…the city itself! Tall buildings, constant works and thin streets all contribute to the disaster that is the bike lanes of Sydney’s CBD.
For $70,000,000 you would think there would be a maze of paths raised slightly over the heads of the pedestrians branching off in four or five directions to get our city clean and fit. But alas no, the network that is under construction has dangerous obstacles, odd diversions, sharp turns, large blind corners, huge gaps in sections that even the most dare devilish cyclist avoid. The bike lanes in some places are combined with the bus lanes. That is an accident waiting to happen.
Servicing through a Dealer or local garage
In the past we have seen much argument for and against servicing with other than the Dealer who sold you the car..
You local Dealer will have you believe that their serving is better, that they use only original parts and that if you don’t use them you will void your warranty. They have been known to go as far as discrediting you local garage as mechanics that couldn’t cut it in their work shops.
