knowledge is POWER

WOMEN’S GUIDE

to knowing what’s what when it comes to your vehicle

W HAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT to LEARN?

As a vehicle owner, you should always feel comfort in knowing what’s right and wrong with my vehicle and when it’s time to take action. At Matt’s Automotive Service Center, we believe that knowledge is power and want to give you the tools and knowledge you will need when your vehicle needs repairs or services. We know your time is valuable so below are the topics that will be covered during the Women’s Car Care Clinic.

H OW TO FIND A SERVICE CENTER and BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM

Think about where you’re currently getting your vehicle’s routine maintenance. Do you feel heard when you go in? Are they taking the time to explain the status of your vehicle and what it means? We want to remove fear and confusion from a trip to your service center by teaching you what to look for and make sure that the one you choose is right for you. It’s all about being comfortable and knowing you’re in control when you walk in.

ID ENTIFYING AUTOMOTIVE TERMS and WHAT THEY MEAN

Part of taking control of your vehicle repair is understanding the terminology and components used in the automotive industry, so you can follow what the service advisor’s report really means. We’re going to break down the terms that your service advisor may use so you are able to better understand their report and take away as much as possible from your conversation.

Q Uestions To Ask When In A Service Center

Do you know what questions to ask your service advisor when they say something needs to be replaced? Questions can be anything from cost to urgency to the reason it needs to be replaced. We want to give you the knowledge and power to know what questions to ask and be certain that you’re getting the correct answer.

A N IN-DEPTH EXPLANATION OF AUTOMOTIVE PARTS ON VEHICLES, WHAT THEY DO, WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED and SIGNS THEY ARE FAILING

You know what your tire does, where it goes, etc., but that might not be the case for parts that are not easy to find or clearly visible. We’ll be going in depth to explain what your vehicle’s parts do, where they are located and signs of when they need repair or to be replaced.

WARNING LIGHTS and WHAT THEY MEAN

Instead of ignoring the lights in your vehicle and letting your dashboard light up like a Christmas tree, let us tell you what each light means and what action you should take when they light up.

HOW TO CHECK and ADD FLUIDS

Behind the scenes there are a lot of fluids that make the wheels go ‘round in your vehicle. Do you know how to add more windshield washer fluid? What about the coolant, engine oil or brake fluid? Knowing how to check these and other fluids, when to add more and when it’s time to bring your vehicle in is a powerful tool you have at your fingertips.

CHANGE WIPER BLADES, CHECK LIGHTS and TIRES, ETC.

Because winter driving is inevitable where we live, it’s important to take those extra steps to make sure you’re driving safely. There are a million instances where you’ll need your tires, wiper blades or lights to be in optimal condition and because we don’t know when that’ll be the case, it’s important to know how to check them and when it’s time for a replacement.
