I'll be the first to admit that I wouldn't be really comfortable maintaining my own car. Car care just isn't my specialty.
I mean, what kind of oil do I use? Where does the power steering fluid go? And just how much air is supposed to go into the tires anyway?!
That's why I was excited to partner with the folks at Carmine for this post and happy to receive my very own custom Carmine.
What is a Carmine, you ask?
Carmine is your own customized car care organizer that has all of your vehicle vitals in one place. It also comes with essential safety tools that every car owner should have in your vehicle.
It's the brainchild of Tess Winningham, the Founder & CEO of Carmine. Tess wanted to make sure that women feel empowered about car care. So many times we blindly trust people to take care of things for us without ever really knowing if the job is being done right, or if it's even necessary.
Did you know that women spend 300 billion dollars a year on car maintenance and service alone? What I bet you didn't know is that's over 100 billion more than we should be spending due to escalated fees and unnecessary repairs and expenses .
Now I don't know about you, but that burns me up! I surely don't want anyone taking advantage of me or the women I know because I might not know enough about my vehicle.
Carmine puts your vehicle's specifications right at your fingertips.
Can you answer the following questions:
What size of wheel and tire does your vehicle need?
How do you check the coolant before a road trip?
Would you know if your car is overheated?
With Carmine, now you can!
The Carmine Organizer comes with the following:
Tire Pressure Gauge
Vehicle Vitals Customized to the Year, Make & Model of your vehicle
Brookstone Safety Flashlight and Tool
Exclusive Carmine Membership that will unlock your access to:
- Exclusive discounts and new technologies
- How-to videos
- Discussion forums
All in a compact organizer that fits in your glove box.
The best thing about Carmine is that it gives you knowledge. And we all know that knowledge is powerful, right?
With Carmine, you'll never have to say “I don't know where my engine coolant reservoir is located”, because you'll have an illustrated photo with you at all times that lists the important components of your engine.
Carmine helps you help yourself.

Having a car gives you more responsibility that you should really attend to every time. Being able to take care of your car in the right way makes it lasts longer than what is intended.
It is nothing but a guide which has described with some fundamentals things related to car maintenance that every woman should have to know. Well, in this context, I would like to say that when someone purchase either a new or old, then at the time of purchase she will receive a manual book which is contaminated with detailed maintenance schedule that she has to follow in order to keep her car in a well running condition. Ya, it is true that in this modern the car engine has already advanced a lot. Still, the book provides with enough the details that must be followed at the time of at the time of regular inspection. Regular car maintenance is very essential just because if one keeps her car well maintained then it will help to prevent breakdown in the remote areas.
Yes, I agree with you on the point that car care is not cup of tea for everyone. It is laughable when you cannot take care of your own property, how you believe someone would care it rightly. So, it is suggested you have to check your car with a reputable garage having skilled workforce regularly. You should also take few suggestions from them. If you are a bit hesitated to do this, then the fate of your car can be predicted 🙂
As you are a car rider irrespective of gender, you have to keep certain tools with you. Whenever your vehicle encounters a problem, it should be fixed without delays. But sometime some issues do not allow the auto to move an inch forward. Think, if there is no garage nearby, what will be your situation? Hence, keeping only few key tools will not solve your problem rather you have to assemble few knowledge how to handle the maintenance.
