~
The maintenance services that your Pontiac may require are largely
dependent on your driving habits plus the road and climatic con-
ditions in which the car is driven.
By l~arning the type of driving you do, your Pontiac dealer's service
manager or service salesman will be better qualified than anyone else
to recommend what services your car may need. Your Pontiac dealer's
mechanics have everything aUheir disposal to do the best work at the
least possible cost. Tl].ey have a specialized knowledge of the Pontiac
car, are supplied with information on latest service methods, and use
specifically designed equipment where needed.
With few exceptions, the best way to determ!ne what your car needs
is through your own
obse~vation
of the way it operates, plus visual
inspection or testing by mechanics trained on Pontiac diagnosis.
DRIVING HABITS
STARTING AND STOPPING-The driver who beats everyone
away from traffic lights and -stops by jamming on the brakes at the
last minute has to pay for his fun. Rapid starts and stops waste gas
and oil and place undue wear on even the best engine parts, brakes,
and tires.
