posted on

You depend on your car to keep you going about your busy life. It is one of your most valuable possessions. It is more important as ever to protect and maintain your car properly so that it will last as long as possible and require few repairs.

The maintenance of your vehicle has a lot to do with its longevity, so does your driving technique. Auto-Repair-Tire-Services-Huntsville-Athens-Madison-AL

Frequent maintenance is needed because worn parts will deteriorate the other components of your vehicle. Many car owners unintentionally shortening their car’s lifespan with their maintenance habits or lack thereof. Multiple factors affect how long your car lasts on the road, here are some ways you can help prolong your car’s life. These are easy preventative maintenance and repair tips to get the most out of your car. 
 

Ways to Help Prolong Your Car’s Life

Fix Minor Repairs: Little issues with your vehicle can become big ones if left unattended. Fix minor repair issues in a timely manner to prevent further damages and more costly repairs to your vehicle. 
 
Oil Changes: Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle as it is essential for the proper operation and lubrication of your engine. Oil changes should be done regularly, usually every 3,000-5,00 miles or as recommended by your manufacturer in your owner’s manual. 
 
Check All Fluids Regularly: Oil isn’t the only fluid in your car that needs attention. The transmission fluid, brakes fluid, coolant, power steering fluid are also important to the performance of your vehicle. Check them regularly and keep them topped off as certified by your vehicle manufacturer.
 
Inspect Your Tires and Wheels: Keep an eye on the tread wear of your tires to help ensure the safety of your ride. Check tire pressure levels on each tire to make sure they are inflated to the recommended pressure. Unbalanced wheels and uneven tire wear can cause excess stress on the suspension of your vehicle and is costly to repair. 
 
Drive Responsibly: Your driving habits have a direct effect on the lifespan of your car and how often repairs are needed. Drive carefully and responsibly and you’ll be rewarded with longer driving intervals without repair.
