Googling Your Car? Be Careful
Google is a great place to start learning about your car, but where is your information coming from? The Internet might be the world’s biggest information resource—but everyone can contribute to it. Unless the web page is from your car’s manufacturer or an authorized dealer, it may not be accurate. Think of your dealer like a doctor; the web can provide hints about the source of your aches and pains, but only your doctor knows for sure. Whether it’s on the web or in person, go to your dealer first—a trained professional for the health of your car.
