OUTSMART YOUR CAR WITH HUMBLE & ROGUE

Does your car double as a ride-share vehicle? Or does it just feel like one, with carpool and kiddos?

Talk to Your Mechanic. Your Car Isn’t Listening.

In this episode, Rich and Charles talk shop about scheduled maintenance for ride-share cars. No matter what kind of car you drive, the more your mechanic knows about how you use it, the better they can service it. For example, if you use your car for a ride-share, your rear tires could wear differently — or the door handles may get pulled on a lot more. Keeping your mechanic in the loop helps them know to look for different types of issues.

When in Doubt: Check the Owners Manual

Your car’s manual should give you recommended intervals for regular, scheduled maintenance items like oil changes. It will also tell you what the mechanic should be looking for when your car hits higher-mileage milestones, such as when the odometer hits 100,000 miles.

If you ask questions based on what you find in the owners manual and keep your mechanic in the loop about your particular vehicle and driving habits, you’ll find your scheduled maintenance visits — and your car — running more smoothly.
