gen Vanagon a basic tuneup before he traveled, he said.
Those who aren't mechanically inclined may need some guidance for getting an older car through the winter.
Pat Slimmer, owner of Slimmer's Auto Service, 1843 Massachusetts St., said he saw a trend among student car owners.
"Lack of instruction is a problem. Nobody has told people that they need to do things like change the oil. Nobody has explained basic maintenance." Slimner said.
Alek Plotnikov, owner of Alek's Auto Shop, 1004 Locust St., said that a $20 oil change could prevent a $600 bill for repairing a worn-out
crankshaft and bearings.
He also said that now was the time for students to begin winterizing their cars. Some local mechanics offer a winterizing package to prepare cars for winter.
Plotnikov said that he offered a basic tuneup for winter, which included checking all the fluid levels, changing the oil and filter, lubricating the chassis, recharging the battery and testing the timing belt.
"It is very costly to run your car until it breaks. Do a tune-up regularly," Plotnikov said.
Plotnikov charges $60 for that tuneup, but he offers students a 10 percent discount on all work.
Some students have found that despite consistent servicing, their cars just don't stay in good condition.
"I have fuses that blow for no reason," said Suzanne Wilson, Green Bay, Wis., senior. "I can't even roll my windows up at the same time."
Wilson, who owns a 1983 Saab with 128,000 miles, said that she had her car checked often, but it continues to break down and inconvenience her.
"I do take good care of it," Wilson said. "It is just a big hassle. I have to rely on friends to pick me up, and obviously, it gets expensive."
And that expense could increase, if you encounter a mechanic who doesn't fix your car correctly.
Roger Broers, who owns Broers Automotive in Eudora, 208 E. 20th St., said that finding a mechanic you could trust was important.
"Cars are a big investment. You have to find a mechanic you are comfortable with and stay with them," Broers said.

of sanity and privacy. Men like this prey on your vulnerability."
KU police Sgt. Chris Keary said that no buildings on campus were more vulnerable than any other to window peepers. This is the second incident of exposure in nine days.
"Incidents are fairly random," Keary said. "But once the officers
are aware that things are happening, they will check around that building."
Keary said people often had no choice about what floor they live on, but that window blinds were a good defense for people living on the first floor.
"Any main level window is easier for a perpetrator to be seen, but you can keep your blinds closed at night so people can't see who is in and who isn't," Keary said.
Helms said she hoped that police caught the man they saw outside of the window. She and Harris have speculated that it might be the same man who was by GSP-Corbin.
"It's a real sick, nasty story."
Helms said. "I hope there only one of those freaks wandering around.
If it's the same guy, he's bound to screw up and get caught."
