I used to be all, I’ll check it later, which really meant, I’ll be fixing this thing on the side of the road. Now, I do a quick check every week fluids, belts, anything that looks wonky. This little thing has saved me from so many surprise breakdowns, you wouldn't believe.

After my day was ruined a few times by stuff breaking down, I started keeping a simple log. Nothing special – just dates, what I looked at, and any weird noises. It’s amazing how easy it is to catch stuff early when you can look back and see what's up.

I ran things until they died, which always backfired at the worst time. Now I clean after every use, grease the spots that always give me trouble, and replace the cheap stuff before it breaks. It’s not fun, but it saves me a lot of time and money.
