  • What kind of preventive maintenance do you do to your car?

    I own a 04 Saab 9-3 and am close to 100K miles. Outside of getting my oil changed every 5,000 miles or so I have not done any of the suggested 30K mile checkups etc. I, of course, have had it fixed when a window breaks or some kind of electrical issue. Should I be doing something more now that I am hitting the 100k benchmark? I personally do not not want to spend a ton as I am sure I am not keeping it for another 100K miles, but I do want to continue to drive it for a few more years.

    Probably should change your belts. I do not know about Saabs, but I do know that if you break a serpentine belt going 60 bad things can happen.

          I'm guessing he didn't, and that's why we haven't heard from him for six months.

            He's stranded on the side of the road somewhere?

              That's the only logical conclusion.

                  He posted here last year, presumably right before his timing belt gave out:
