Knowing a few basics about your car, can save you time and headaches. And you will have more confidence when you hit the road.

Here is a list of car basics:

1. Tires— you need to know how to change a tire. Learn how to use a tire pressure gauge. Check your tires for even/uneven wear, tread depth, bulges, cracks or other issues.
2. Oil— learn how to check it yourself. Kudos to you if you learn how to check your own brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant.
3. Dash lights— know what they mean. Your owners manual will have a section on the dash lights and what they mean for your vehicle. If you have questions, you can always ask the professionals at Bob’s Auto Service— 608-782-1375.
4. Battery— learn how to jump-start your battery. No more waiting for for a tow truck or roadside assistance to do this for you.
