Being your own Mechanic

You don’t want to suffer in one of those nasty dire car accidents do you? Well that can partially be avoided simply by knowing how to perform basic maintenance on your vehicle.

It used to be where there’s a teenager with a wrench in the driveway working on his car. Now days, most Auto Mechanics or Technicians go to school in order to learn how to repair today’s complicated cars. Now all newer cars have computers and many other electrical parts making it almost impossible to replace and modify these parts. The main purpose of these computers is to modify little tuned intake numbers maintain the engine and other technical parts that will modify how the car runs allowing a longer life for your vehicle, and even better gas, and other useful items. The problem with these computers is that whenever parts and pieces are replaced or fixed it will cause the computer to go wrong and won’t function correctly.
