If you drive every day, you need to know some basic things about auto repair. However, a great number of people do not even know the basics of auto repair. Luckily, the article below has some great tips that will help you keep your car in tip top shape.

You should always have an emergency kit available in your vehicle. You need tools to change a flat tire, charge a battery, and you must have spare gas. Also, add a flashlight, some batteries, and some blankets in case there is a nighttime breakdown.

Be wary of mechanics that try and make unnecessary repairs to your car. A mechanic that is good will notify you of parts that show signs of deterioration and will soon need replacement, but they shouldn’t replace it without having your approval. If a mechanic did an unnecessary repair on your car, don’t take it there again.
