“Lube Job” Chalices are you’re also getting “anti-breakdown” insurance with every' one, when service station makes — These Checks — When you get that prevacation lubrication at your favorite service outlet, you’re likely getting more than a freshly-greased chassis. Chances are you’re also taking out an anti-breakdown insurance policy. According to Chek-Chart Corporation, more service outlets are conducting safety inspections every time the car is on the hoist for a lubrication. The importance of such inspection is increasing since extended lubrication intervals recommended by manufacturers mean that cars are on the hoist less frequently. Chek-Chart recommends the following components be inspected during a lubrication and any necessary defects be corrected: □ Brake system □ Steering and suspension O Shock absorbers □ Tires and wheels □ Exhaust system O Fuel system p Cooling system Q Drive line units □ Threaded fastener- □ Seat belts □ Electrical system O Lights and horn O Ix>cks and latches O Visibility items such a» glass, wipers, washers, mirrors and defrosterIn inspecting these systems, a trained mechanic will check for various fluid leaks or low levels of lubricants. Particularly sensitive areas are brake fluid reservoirs, master cylinder leakage, power steering fluids, shock absorber and drive line lubricants. If you spot any leakage on your driveway or garage floor, bring it to the attention of your mechanic. wFciw* Chance of Mishap Is Estimated By Safety Council What are a driver’s chances of having an accident In his lifetime? According to the National Safety Council, It depends partly on the distance he drives. A person who drives 12,000 miles a year has one chance in three of having some kind of an accident. There is one chance in four that damage will be limited to property, one in 40 that there will be at least one injury, and one in 1,300 for a fatality. One who travels 8,000 miles a year stands one chance in five for any accident, one chance in six for a property damage accident, one in 55 for an injury accident, and one in 2,000 for a fatal one. A driver who goes 4,000 miles a year has one chance in 10 for any accident, one in 11 that only property will be damaged, one in 110 that there will be personal injuries, and one in 4,000 that it will result in death. A driver must keep his car — and himself — in the best possible traveling condition to improve those odds, the Council says.
