With the end of the Christmas vacation approaching, thoughts should start to turn to transportation, both for our automobiles and the ones our kids use to get too school with. It can save a lot of heartache later if you take care of the little things now. With all the cold weather that is happening across the country, and how fast it changes, it could be a lifesaver.
Today’s Family First site is one that is dedicated to the backyard mechanic. Called Under the Hood, here you can learn just about anything about a car, and how to do just about anything to it. There is a basics area, as well as an advanced one. There is an interactive section, and a space set aside for just troubleshooting different problems. Best of all, there are links galore with 800 phone numbers. The online video section is excellent, and there are slide shows on how to change your oil and spark plugs.
Of course, if you think you have a serious problem with your car, it is best to seek professional advice. But if you like to tinker, and save a few bucks in the process, then this is a site for you. Be sure to bookmark it, and return often.
