Tip #4 - Maintain Complete Vehicle Maintenance
Records
Documenting the work that has done on your car is extremely
important. You should never leave the car dealer without a detailed statement
of what was done to your car. This written proof is integral towards keeping
a well documented history of your car for future reference. Therefore,
always insist on receiving a copy of the work orders for your records.
Having these records on hand will make selling or trading in your car
much easier later on.
