Hello all,
I have a 2005 Chevy Cobalt, and I love the car and want to keep it running until the wheels fall off. While I don't know a lot about cars, I change the oil myself and also rotate the tires as needed. However, at some point more maintenance will be needed, and I hope so of you guys with more car knowledge will be able to help me out with my questions.
A few days ago, I got a bunch of coupons in the mail from various car repair places for discounts on services. They are as follows:
1) Radiator drain and refill + inspection of coolant hoses
2) "Fuel injection service"
3) Hot oil engine flush
4) New timing belts
5) Engine tune-up
6) Front end alignment
Now, my car runs just the same as it did the day I bought it, but I always have that creeping suspicion something might be wrong that I don't know about. I have been doing the oil changes myself for 1.5 years and have not taken it into the shop for any reason except an oil change for about 2 years.
With that in mind, should I get any of the aforementioned services? Which ones are gimmicks and which are legit? Thanks.
