  • Regularly change your oil: Motor oil are referred to as motor’s blood for a good reason. It keeps the engine working by lubricating the moving part to protect it from heat and friction.
  • Regularly check tire air pressure and perform regular alignment: Car tires will always wear down and lose pressure after some time. It is important to always check your tire nor just to prolong its lifetime but also to keep you safe. Alignment is important to keep your car balanced and prevent uneven wear which can affect your fuel economy.
  • Check your battery’s charge: A good battery should last up to 3-5 years. How your driving habits and the condition under which the vehicle is being used can affect its longevity. Frequent checking of the battery will ensure you are never stranded on the highway with a dead battery.
  • Replace old spark plugs: The spark plug plays a very important role when you are starting a car. It ignites the mixture of air and fuel. This controlled reaction energizes the engine and powers the vehicle.
  • Replace worn-down brake pads: Frequent braking while driving wears down the brake pads which is all that stands between the brake region and the rotor. If the brake pads become too thin, the rotor and other parts of the vehicle are left exposed. This can damage the car even further and accrue unwanted expenses.
