To the average anan of not much experience who buys his new car this magic word may mean any thing from free air for his tyres at a service station to a new. en- gine at the works. He may lock, and generally does lock, for all kinds of annoying overhaul work to be carried out either free of charge or for a nominal charge.

For example, when he is buying this or that car whose service is so widely advertised he may expect that at any moment, he chooses his engine is to be decarbonised, its valves ground in, and "odd jobs here and there carried out by any dealer" or service station, whethe er not that dealer or service station has made any profit out of him or is ever likely to. He very often cherishes a secret hope, if mot a belief, that the word service covers every possible breakage and misfor tune that can happen to him, and that so long as he buys this or that make of car with a widely advertised service the machine is going to cost him the minimum in repairs.

The Novice's Error. It is, of course,

an entirely erroneous view, as he will dis- cover before very long.

No motorcar business conducted on the links which a novice ep pears to expect could exist very long. Any decent firm will pro- bably make good all damage direct ly traerible to the breakage of an important part, because it would be very bad business and worse nd vertisement not to do so; but that
