Maintenance Repairs You Should Never Skip For Your Car

Don't Let Your Car Breakdown

For many car owners, they typically ride their car right up to the point where the car finally breaks down. Because going to the local repair shop can be seen as a hassle, many don't do it. However, this can be a costly mistake to make. Not only does fixing a broken car end up costing you more than just having your car tuned up when it needs it, but it also means even more of your time is spent waiting for your car to be fixed. In order to keep your car going strong, here are a few tune-up repairs that you should always send your car in for.

1. Oil Change

You've likely heard how important oil is but you may not understand why. Think of oil as the lifeblood of your car. It's responsible for keeping everything running smoothly. When that oil runs out, your car runs a lot harder and can break. That's why having your oil levels inspected regularly is a good idea. However, besides the amount of oil in your car, the quality of oil in your car is just as important. Old oil doesn't perform its job as well and can actually make your car run a lot harder. You should also have an oil change service Brevard NC performed regularly.

2. Transmission Check

Another vital part of your car is the transmission. Your car can't shift or, as its name suggests, transition correctly if the transmission is broken or worn down. If you have a transmission fluid leak, for example, that is an important fluid that can cause your car to break down without it. Because the transmission isn't in the easiest place for you to see for yourself, it's a good idea to just bring it in and let the repair shop take a look at it. They can tell you from the get-go if your car's in trouble.

Ian Doescher's Pop Shakespeare Series

Quirk Books continues the tradition of blending Shakespeare and Pop Culture with Ian Doescher's Pop Shakespeare Series.

Get Thee Back To The Future

About The Book:

In the iconic film by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, teenaged Marty McFly travels back in time from the 1980's to the 1950's, changing the path of his parents’ destiny.....as well as his own. Now fans of the movie can journey back even further - to the 16th century, when the Bard of Avon unveils his latest masterpiece: William Shakespeare’s Get Thee Back to the Future! Every scene and line of dialogue from the hit movie is re-created with authentic Shakespearean rhyme, meter, and stage directions. This reimagining also includes jokes and Easter eggs for movie fans, from Huey Lewis call-outs to the inner thoughts of Einstein (the dog). By the time you’ve finished reading, you’ll be convinced that Shakespeare had a time-traveling DeLorean of his own, speeding to our era so he could pen this time-tossed tale.

Much Ado About Mean Girls

About The Book:

Power struggles. Bitter rivalries. Jealousy. Betrayals. Star-crossed lovers. When you consider all these plot points, it’s pretty surprising William Shakespeare didn’t write Mean Girls. But now fans can treat themselves to the epic drama - and heroic hilarity - of the classic teen comedy rendered with the wit, flair, and iambic pentameter of the Bard. Our heroine Cady disguises herself to infiltrate the conniving Plastics, falls for off-limits Aaron, struggles with her allegiance to newfound friends Damian and Janis, and stirs up age-old vendettas among the factions of her high school. Best-selling author Ian Doescher brings his signature Shakespearean word-smithing to this cult classic beloved by generations of teen girls and other fans. Now, on the 15th anniversary of its release, Mean Girls is a recognized cultural phenomenon, and it’s more than ready for an Elizabethan makeover.

About The Author:

Ian Doescher is the New York Times best-selling author of William Shakespeare’s Star Wars series. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his family.
