Get Your Car Ready for College This Season

AS you get ready to head back to college this year, it's time to pay some attention to your car. When you get the oil changed and the tires rotated, you won't have to worry about these issues for the next semester. Take a look at your owner's manual and see if any scheduled maintenance is due.

If you have a warning light on in your dashboard, get this checked before you head off to school. While you might be used to the warning light, it's a sign that your car needs to be serviced. Get yourself organized, and pay attention to safety gear.

The back of your vehicle should have a spare tire, jumper cables and a flashlight with extra batteries. When you understand how to change a tire and get your car battery started with jumper cables, you will be able to help yourself if you get stranded.
