With proper care and maintenance, you can manage to get your car run well past its average life span. Here are four easy tips to keep your car running longer without any major issues:
Keep Your Car Clean:
Wax your car regularly. Dust and pollution accumulate on the car over time. These elements eat through the clear coat and eventually oxidize the paint, turning into rust. A professional wax job, maybe once or twice a year helps to keep the car in top condition.
Check Tire Pressure:
Well inflated tires help maintain gas mileage. This helps improve the car’s suspension components and causes less wear and tear on the car’s chassis. If your car’s weight is unevenly distributed, it could affect its overall performance. Some modern cars have computerized readouts that will tell you the exact PSI level of each individual tire. For other cars, use the handy tire pressure gauges. They cost about three dollars at any gas station. Inside your driver door panel, you’ll find a little sticker that will tell you the factory recommended PSI of each tire front and back. These numbers do tend to vary depending on the car. Your tires will also last longer if you have them regularly rotated during other routine maintenance visits.
Know Your Engine Bay:
You don’t have to be a mechanic to understand the engine bay. It is important to know something about engine parts such as the intake manifold, the valve cover, the cylinder head, the brake master cylinder, air intake, ignition coil and the fuse box. Understanding the function of these parts and recognizing potential problems can save you a ton of money on unnecessary repairs. You can alert the mechanic about the issue and get it sorted in the initial stages.
Regular Maintenance:
When you buy a car from our used car dealership, we make sure that there’s very little for the client to worry about. Every vehicle undergoes a comprehensive inspection to check for safety, mechanical, or electrical issues. We also guide buyers about maintenance schedule and other relevant information.
These are the quick and easy tips to keep your car running efficiently and for years to come.
