Obviously I want to keep my "new" '04 Accent maintained correctly as it only has 19K miles on it, and I just bought it, and I have the factory warrenty until 60K, and an extended 50K warrenty. But...I'm a tech at a Lexus dealership and I obviuosly do my own work. I even get my oil for free.
So...how do I prove that I've maintained it when I can't show maintenance reciepts. About the only thing I get free is the oil, so I'll keep all other reciepts...but still????

 

That should be good enough. In my own records, I note which oil I use but I only keep reciepts for the filters. Technically just a hand-written record is enough I think, but anything that backs it up is gravy.

And honestly from what I've heard, major components (engine, trans) just don't die if they are maintained correctly. A lot of people buy cars with the long warranty, but are dismayed that they have to do a bunch of maintenance to keep the warranty intact. The fact is that the maintenance *should* be done, and if it is, the car lasts a long time.

My last car was a Ford Aspire (built by Kia), and all I did was regular maintenance and it gave me almost no problems whatsoever for over 100,000 miles.

 

Thanks. That's what I'm hoping for...minimal need for warrenty. But it's nice to have it.
This is the newest car I ever had. All my other cars had 100K + miles on them, and most all of them went to the junk yard with bad transmissions, the tranny is my main concern.
Never had a car with this low miles
