Top (Often Ignored) Car Care Tips

  • Keep your oil at the recommended level and change it at three months or 3,000 miles.
  • Check your tire pressure every 3-5 weeks and keep it at the right pressure.
  • Get your brakes checked at the first sign of noise (squealing) when you are slowing the car.
  • Make sure your coolant level is where it should be particularly before very cold or hot weather.
  • Check your air filter each time th oil is changed. Replace as necessary.
  • Intentionally listen to your car so you will be able to recognize when something is going wrong.
  • Find a mechanic you feel comfortable with who sees your car regularly for tune/check ups. Spending a few bucks to have your car checked every 6-12 months could save you a very large repair bill by catching a problem early.
