What a great idea! Auto repair is one skill I wish I had...but I have absolutely no inclination toward it. I don't have any specific questions, but I have been wondering what type of preventive maintenance I should be getting for my 2000 Ford Windstar (85k miles). I got it at 50k miles in July 04. It just passed inspection last month. I have a new air filter that I have to have my DH put in.
Here's the work I have had done:
8/05 brake shoes & drum, right tie rod replaced
6/05 a/c recharged (had to be recharged several times, but no leak could ever be found)
8/06 new brake pads, rotor resurfaced, wheel cylinders (rear brakes), new wiper blades
3/07 outer tie rod
It seems like there have been a few other things, but that's all the paperwork I have on it. I get the oil changed pretty regularly. I assume I should probably have a tune-up since I have never had one? Anything else I should look at given its age? It has two snow tires that were new last year, but left on over the summer (blush). They were just rotated to the back. The other tires are still in good shape.
