List to take to the Mechanic

P.S. Here's that list you can print out and take to your mechanic.

1. Check out the entire cooling system: radiator, coolant, belts and hoses, cooling fans, heater core and water pump.
2. Tires: check tread depth, uneven wear and tire pressure, and get a real spare.
3. The front end: check ball joints, tie rod ends and steering components.
4. Change the oil. Look for leaks.
5. Check the air conditioning system: refrigerant level, compressor clutch and belts.
6. Check the tranny. Are you close to the recommended service interval? Is the fluid nice and clean? Any leaks?
