Millar’s Hiway Tire 7 tips for Car Preventive Maintenance
No one can appreciate preventive maintenance more than those who had
stopped on the road side looking for help because their cars broke down. The
best way to avoid such situation is to learn the basics of car preventive main-
tenance. Below, you will find the main advantages of learning car preventive
maintenance.
#1 never miss a date because of your automobile
When you apply the proper car preventive maintenance to your car then
you will make sure that your car will be working when you need it. Most of the
on road car problems are because of a cut engine belt, blown tire or some-
thing that should have been replaced earlier. Make sure to set a good automo-
bile maintenance schedule in order to avoid such embarrassing situation.
#2 keep the value of your vehicle
When you sell a car with good maintenance history, the price is much high-
er. Always keep a track record of your regular car preventive repairing and
maintenance in order to prove what you have done with your car for the
potential buyer.
#3 keep the road safe
Stopping in unusual places makes you and other road users exposed for
more accidents. Even when you take the regular precautions to alarm other
drivers, you and other drivers are still prone to have an accident.
#4 extends the life span of your car
Automobile preven-
tive repair and main-
tenance ensures that
your vehicle can live
longer without the
need to replace major
parts.
#5 decrease the
running cost of your
car
Many people neg-
lect automotive preventive repair and maintenance because they think that
they are spending money with no return. Recent studies prove that when you
apply regular automobile preventive maintenance, you save yourself a lot
because you only replace the highly consumable items of your vehicle while
when you fix your car; you always replace large and expensive parts.
#6 easier car replacement
When you apply the right car preventive maintenance, you do not need to
replace it frequently with a newer one but, in case you desire to replace your
car then you will not need to pay much as you have preserved your cars value.
#7 better looking car

The rebirth of childbirth classes —Why should I take a class if I have read
everything on the internet and plan to use an epidural?
Research regarding the benefits of childbirth education indicates that
women who take a childbirth preparation class
may have a shorter and more positive labor and
delivery experience. Even with epidural anesthe-
sia, a woman in labor will experience some phys-
ical discomfort.
Childbirth classes provide the ultimate learn-
ing environment. Experts in education report
that we remember 10 percent of what we read,
20 percent of what we hear, 50 percent of what
we do and 90 percent of what we say and do.
Prenatal classes cover the traditional breath-
ing techniques and ways to prepare for the birth
of your baby. In addition, they provide the most
current and useful information about breast-
feeding, new baby care, and how to manage
your first weeks at home with your new family.
The classes will help you to learn from practice,
discussion and a wide variety of educational tools. The classes provide ample
time to practice and improvise techniques, ask questions, and gain feedback
from the other members of your class. A variety of audiovisual teaching aids
and learning techniques and several health topics are typically discussed.
The relaxation and pain management skills that are taught and practiced
in class will help with all phases of labor and delivery and very often a well-
balanced, comprehensive class can serve as a vehicle for a wellness program
for all the members of your family.
Since the abundance of information available on the internet is over-
whelming and misleading, classes provide you with a chance to filter
through the information in a comfortable forum with your instructor and
other new families with similar concerns and questions. Some information is
based upon accurate and scientific evidence while some information is not
and the classes give you a safe environment in which to share and discuss
your concerns and findings. Classes review policies and procedures specific
to your locale and hospital.
The classes provide an excellent opportunity to meet other new parents
and share and learn from their experience. Friendships are often formed in
class that may continue long after your baby is born. New parent peer sup-
port may help to decrease the isolation some new parents may experience
and provides a ready-made play group and community for your baby.
Great Beginnings prenatal and parenting classes at NWPC are designed to
promote the most positive and memorable experience possible for you and
your family in an unbiased, warm environment. In the words of Penny
Simpkin, childbirth educator, researcher and author, “It takes a village to have
a baby”.
