The ABCs of basic car care include:

1. Always follow a vehicle service schedule.
2. Be sure to have your car inspected when you suspect there is a problem.
3. Correct the problem to help avoid the inconvenience and potential safety hazards of breaking down away from home.

By following these three simple steps, you will not only protect their second largest investment, but you will be able to address minor repairs before they become more complicated expensive repairs. Stay safe out there!
