There are some simple tips for car owners that will save you a lot of money and time.

If your engine boils because of heat or some technical issue, turn on the stove at maximum temperature and let the heat from the engine move inside the car. In case there’s an air leak in your tire, and you don’t have a proper repair kit in your trunk, don’t remove the entire wheel to be able to move. You can use a screw to close up the leak.
