Car Maintenance

Dear BTD,

I take my Hilux Ute to the local K-Mart Tyre service guys, and a decent service costs $120 to $160 here in OZ.

If ever you are in doubt about what should/shouldn't be done, most car manufacturers actually specify items in the Owner's Manual (which I imagine would be downloadable in PDF format from the Web).

In Oz, we have to get a "pink slip" inspection once a year to re-register the vehicle. So I kill two birds with one stone, safe in the knowledge that they can't knock back a car that they have just serviced...

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.
