Busted! Car Repair Myths You Can Stop Believing

Keeping your car in optimal condition is an important priority. You can do it, however, without wasting money on senseless maintenance repairs. For really big savings, check out these old car myths and what you should do instead.

Myth #1 – Oil Needs Changing Every 3,000 Miles: Change your oil when your car manual states you should.
Myth #2 – All Oil Weight Is The Same: Your car needs a specific weight of oil. All oil weight isn’t created equal.
Myth #3 – Premium Fuel Is The Best: Regular fuel works well for most cars.
Myth #4 – Always Trust Online Reviews: Don’t always believe the reviews you read online about car repair facilities. There are great small shops out there that will get the job done just as well as the larger chains.
