Car Care: When it’s Your 35,000-Mile Service
Simple tips can help save your investment.
At less than 35,000 miles, most new cars are still under warranty, so anything that breaks prematurely, such as a leaking brake caliper or a burned out wiper motor, should be fixed at no cost. However, warranties don’t generally cover wear and tear items like brake pads and wiper blades, so it’s important to check those regularly and replace as needed for proper function and safety. Regular maintenance is important to protect your investment and prevent problems later, after that new-car warranty expires.

It’s no surprise then that many a historically based film had to jazz up a thing or two to get people into the theater. Because let’s face it, who is going to pay to see Bill Brings his Daughter to Soccer then Does Some Light Yard Work Before Catching the Last Half of RoboCop on TBS?
