suinmer vacation, but if your family vehicle will be used on this trip have it. checked out ivefore’ vent leave.”

It could mean tiie differ-

ence berween an economical

family vacation and a disas- trously expensively onc.

Like most Canadians, you experienced a relatively mild winter, so you may be tempt- ed to think that your regular Spring maintenance on your vehicle isn’t required.

Think again.

': The winter months, 20 matter how mild, can cause normal deterioration of cer- tain vehicle parts, such as rubbur hoses ‘and belts, exhaust’ brackets, fluid. level depletions, etc.

Hf you are one of the mil- lions of Canadians who will be vacationing in vour family vehicle, Car Care Canada recommends you follow this simple advice and avoid the last minute rush for needed maintenance or repairs.

It could save you dme and moncy. Planning pays off.

Before you !eave on your trip, have the following, sys- teams checked and serviced as needed:

& cooling system;

J transmission. levels, ete.;

M@ cngine system, including an oil and filter change;

M& engine and electrical sys- tem;

@ undercar, including brake and exhaust systems, tres, suspension and wheel align- ment;

verify fluid

M4 lights, & windshield sipers;

- And don’: forget the inte- rior and exterior appearance of your vebizie family travel can bs hard on a vehicle.

For example, a minor upholstery tear can turn into a gaping hole during a family vacation.

A hole in the carpet at the accelerator pedal can become a safety hazard if i: catches your heel in an emergency.

A dragging mud guard can turn into a dangerous projectile for the car behind Sou,

Consider repairing these minor problems before you leave so that rhey don: become major probleras on she crip.

It’s really quite simp!c, practising these simp!: pre- ventative maintenance tech- niques can save you Jots of time and money on your vacation.

Replacing a bracker on your exhaust system before you leave will cost you under $20.00, Replacing your entire muffier on your vaca- tion will costs you consider- ably more money, 23 well as a

cat deal of your vacation time.
