Family Car Care & Auto Repair Markham

Markham is a fast growing community with many families, and we want our auto repair service in Markham to reflect that. To do that, we put together a list of ways you can include your family in your vehicle maintenance. Why? If your family takes responsibility for maintaining your vehicle you can be confident of your safety on the road, and save money by reducing the chance of needing costly repairs.

Involve Everyone in Buying the Car

Of course, adults will be doing the research, but make your children feel included, especially those that will be driving it. If they feel that they have a real say in choosing the car then they may develop an attachment to it sooner, and be more mindful in taking care of it.

Keep Vehicle Records

Keep a notebook to record any auto repair performed on your vehicle, and save receipts too. Record where you took the car, issues and repairs, the mileage, the date, and any other relevant information.  

You can also jot down notes when you notice changes in your car. This detailed information may help your Markham Master Mechanic identify and repair any problems you experience. Encouraging teen drivers (or even your young passengers) to contribute their observations is a great way for them to participate in your vehicle maintenance routine.

Bond Over Maintenance

Teaching all members of the family basic car maintenance tasks can definitely be a bonding experience. Little kids love learning new things, so consider showing them how to check the family car’s oil level. It’s fairly simple but important and everyone can enjoy the fun of getting their hands a little greasy.

Talk About the Family Car

We are auto repair experts at  Master Mechanic Markham, but we’d love to see everyone in our community learn more about proper car maintenance. While teaching your kids about driving talk to them about the importance of paying attention to those lights on the dashboard, or why you’re leaving the proper gap between you and the car in front of you.

Set a Good Example

The best way to make sure your kids take good care of the car is for you to be an influence and example of how to take good care of the car. Don’t throw garbage on the floor. If you treat the car with respect, they’ll follow your lea
