COMMUNICATION
Good communication is the key to your vehicle’s well-being, just as it’s critical to communicate with a doctor concerning your physical health. In the same way you are encouraged to know your body and how it functions, you should know how your car, van or truck works and ride. Recognize how it drives when it’s in good shape. Don’t ignore signs that something may be off or that everything isn’t quite right.
For best results in keeping costs down while staying on top of potential problems to avoid bigger issues, staff at Forest Grove Auto Repair recommends that you:
-
Follow service schedules outlined by your automaker.
-
Check your owner's manual to understand how systems and components should work.
-
Keep records of all repairs and services on each vehicle to avoid duplication.
-
Don’t ignore warning signals. Watch for unusual sounds, smells, jerks or jolts.
