Basic repairs for your vehicle

Here is a list of some basic repairs you can do to better maintain your vehicle:

 

-Replace the cabin air filer to freshen the air and reduce the burden of your fan motor and A/C. Many vehicles manufactured within the last decade are built with the cabin air filter under the dash.

 

-Change burned out light bulbs and/or other electrical equipment. The roads are much safer with functioning lights!

 

-Fix parts on the rear of your vehicle, such as shocks and boots, so your car doesn't struggle with a heavy load.

 

-Buy a tire pressure gauge and tire tread depth gauge a to keep tires in good condition throughout the year.

 

You can also consider replacing these other basic parts: oil filter, spark plugs, belts, 02 sensors, fuel pump, water pump, brake pads/shoes, wiper blades, fuel cap, alternator, starter motor, hub assemblies, etc.

 

If it's time to replace any of these parts for your vehicle, go to the RockAuto.com catalog, locate your vehicle, and type in the parts you're needing to get them ordered!

 

If you have a question about parts or an order, please visit our FAQ and/or Order Status & Returns page, or send us an email at service@rockauto.com.

#1 rule with any old turbo car is maintenance before mods. If more people did that we would see a lot less starquest and dsm's being parted out.

 

This. DSM's are about as rare to find now as the StarQuest. At least the GSX and fwd turbo models.

 

We see perfectly good starquest get parted for a simple headgasket.

Unfortunately they are. All from owner negligence and they blame the cars and we see them end up at the local pull a part.
