The holidays are here, and we're all trying to save money. It's tempting to put that oil change off 'til your next paycheck, and that rattle in your engine … can't it wait for the new year?

Maybe not.

Problems can worsen without warning, and a little timely prevention can save you from a costly cure. Your dealer mechanic knows your car best, letting him fix it faster, cheaper, and more efficiently. He can spot problems before they occur. So make sure to budget for routine maintenance, and if your car acts up, visit your dealer immediately.

A car equals freedom to go to work, run errands and have fun – don't gamble with it!
