By PAUL JACOT You choose a doctor with great care because you know he or she could save your life. But how many people choose their service station dealer with the same care? After all, your health and safety can depend on him as well. With this in mind then, how do you choose a good service station dealer to look after your car? Jim Worgan, a _ Shell dealer with over 30 years’ experience, suggests the following: Look for a station that is . tidy, with well-stocked oil and tire displays, clean Shimmy solving A motorist always knows that when vibration starts, the car is trying to send a message. This front-wheel shimmy is a continuous shaking sensation felt in the steering wheel, floor or seat even on a smooth highway. TIED TO SPEED If the condition is vibration, it will occur at one driving speed, usually from 50 to 70 mph, and it will continue as long as the car is driven at that one speed. SLOW DOWN It may disappear when the speed is exceeded but will always disappear when the car slows below the speed. Steering and suspension problems that cause vibration are worm shock absorbers, loose steering linkage, worn ball joints and a misaligned front end. Other conditions causing vibration are improper tire pressure, tire bulge, loose wheel nuts, out-of-balance wheels, worn or loose front- wheel bearings, and driveshaft problems. CHECK PROBLEM Don't confuse vibration with frgnt-wheel tramp (tire thump). Front-wheel tramp is a cyclical thum-thump- thump sensation whcih is felt at about 25 mph. This can be caused by bad shock absorbers and out-of-round tires. Keep car young Popular Mechanics Maga- zine interviewed owners of cars from 10 to 20 years old. and found that they gener- ally lubricate and change the oil more frequently than sug- gested by the car’s manufac- turer. Lady fixers While only about three per cent of those who work on their cars are women, the Automotive Parts & Asses- sories Association points out that more and more of them are becoming knowledge- able about their care. washrooms, and a generally well-organized appearance. Worgan believes that first impressions tell you a lot about the station. Buy some gas - do the attendants offer to check under the hood and wash the windows without being asked? Ask around the neigh- bourhood. Do your neighbours speak well of the station you are consideri If all this checks out, introduce yourself to the dealer and ask to meet his mechanic. Ask yourself if they are the people you want to trust your car to and look for a licensed mechanic's certificate.
