Forest Park Automotive Offers Auto Repair Services You Can Count On!

Always use a detergent designed specifically for car washing. Don't use common dish washing detergent which is too strong and will remove the wax.

Always keep a good coat of wax or paint sealant on your car.

Make a habit of detailing your car. Detail your car regularly and inspect the finish.

Always use a good wax with a high Carnauba content.

You are much better off to wax your car more frequently than to try to apply a heavy coat of wax.

If you are involved in an accident don't make any public statements about who is at fault.

Keep a disposable camera with a flash in your glove box in the event you have an accident. Then take LOTS of pictures!

Be sure to remove sand and salt spray as soon as possible from your car to protect your car's finish.

Check tire inflation at least once a month. Under-inflated tires can result in a loss of fuel efficiency.

A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.

For maximum fuel economy, stay below 60 mph.

Don't forget to check the tire pressure of your spare tire!

Buying a fuel with a higher octane than your car requires will not boost performance.

Unlike A/C in the summer, you can run the car's heater as much as you want in the winter without effecting gas mileage.
