Saving money could cost you money

Are you tempted to try and save money putting off
routine automobile check-ups and non-emergency repairs?

Though you know it's fall tune-up time, have you
decided to avoid any big bills and just coast until something
breaks down?

Forty per cent of all Canadians normally neglect even
the most basic vehicle maintenance.What motorists may
not realize is that this could end up costing much more than
the price of a regular tune-up.

Your vehicle will be safer, achieve better gas mileage,
have more power and cause less pollution if you
maintained it regularly. Neglect any part of that intricate
engine system, and it will not only break down, but may
unnecessarily damage other components at the same time.

Some thing you could undertake on your own before
you book an appointment for a tune-up:

* check the battery fluid levels and the drive belt
tension. Press down in the middle with your thumb. It
shouldn't give more than half an inch.

* change the oil if it hasn't been changed for several
months. If you have been using single weight oil as
recommended by your owner's manual, change to summer
grade.

Then, before you book an appointment: for a fall tune-
up, take your vehicle out for a Sunday drive and watch for

driving irregularities or noises to call to the mechanic's
attention, advises the auto club. If the brake warning light
on the dashboard comes on and stays on, or if you hear a
grinding noise coming from one of the wheels when you
stop — perhaps the wheels are out of alignment or a brake
is malfunctioning.

A shimmy and shake and excessive side-to-side
playing steering wheel could mean trouble in the steering
box, ball joints, tie-end rods, relay rods, idler arm or may be
caused by poor shocks. A definite vibration at any
particular speed may point to imbalanced tires and wheels.

Are there any unusual noises or odors coming from the
exhaust system?’ Leaks in the system may be allowing
carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle, creating an
extremely hazardous situation.

Check the heater and radiator hoses for cracks and
swelling; check the drive belts for cracks and loose tension.
Be certain that anti-freeze levels are maintained.

Now you are ready to make an appointment for a tune
up. Ask your mechanic what the tune-up will consist of and
how much it will cost. Make sure it is clearly understood
that you are to be contacted before repairs not included in
a regular tune-up are undertaken.

If the mechanic does advise you that further repairs
are necessary, remember that it may be easier for him and

cheaper for you to replace the part while some of the
engine is already disassembled, rather than to start the
repair anew at a later date.

In a regular fall tune-up, the mechanic should perform
these services:

* perform an ignition system analysis

* test and clean battery cables and hold-downs

* check and replace spark plugs as necessary

* check and replace points and condenser as
necessary

* perform a compression test while the plugs are out

« check distributor cap and rotor visually and
electronically

* check high tension wiring

* check ignition primary circuit

* check and adjust timing

* check and lubricate heat riser

* check fuel pump for proper operation

* check and replace fuel filter as necessary

* pressure test cooling system

* check anti-freeze. *

If you are considering a tune-up special at a package
price, read the details of the tune-up carefully. Not all the
items listed above may be included in the special price and
may cost you extra.
