Your car is a long term
investment and it needs proper care in order to extend its working life.
Proper care of your car means
less problems on the road, which automatically translates into lower maintenance
and repair costs. Today we discuss some simple ways by which you can extend the
working life of your vehicle.
1. Change the filters
One of the most basic things you
can do to maintain the performance levels of your car is to regularly change
the filters, including the oil and air filters. While most people often take
care of replacing the oil filter, the air filter is ignored more often
than not. A clean air filter enables better engine performance and adds to its
overall longevity.
2. Maintain the Pressure
Maintaining the correct tyre
pressure is one of the relatively inexpensive aspects of taking care of your
car. Correct tyre pressure not only yields benefits like good fuel economy and
better engine performance, but it also adds to the safety of the vehicle. While
requiring very little attention, tyre pressure is an important aspect that
contributes to the overall performance of any vehicle.
3. Intelligent Driving
Good driving habits will give
you many benefits. In addition to better fuel consumption, it greatly increases
the engine life. When you drive properly, you remove unnecessary strain from
the engine and thus make it run smoother and better. And, of course ,it is
always safer to drive intelligently.
4. Be Punctual
A simple yet important way to
take care of your car is to stick to the maintenance schedule. Manufacturers
provide owners with the owners’ manual that contains the maintenance schedule
for their vehicle. If your car no longer has a service manual Cooper Automotive
will provide you with one free of charge when you have your vehicle serviced
with us. It’s as they say, a stitch in time saves nine!
