Everyone loves to buy a new vehicle, but chances are you also want that new vehicle to last you as long as possible. Well, then you need to keep it in good condition and maintain it. There are simple things you can do regularly to keep your car running smoothly.
Wash Your Vehicle
Especially this time of year, keeping your car clean helps it stay in good condition. Make sure to hose out the undercarriage and fender wells to remove any dirt and salt. This time of year, take your vehicle to a local car wash at least once a month, if not more. There are many great car washes around the Reading PA area.
Check the Fluids
Monthly checks of your fluids will help you know if your fluid levels are low—or worse, if there is an issue. For example, you will have a better chance of catching an oil leak sooner and having it fixed right away. Top off any fluids that may need more.
Maintain Your Tires
Check your tire pressure regularly, especially before taking long trips. Make sure they are accurate to the recommendations in your owner’s manual. Also, have your tires rotated every 3,000 miles to help them last longer.
Check Your Brakes
Twice a year have your breaks checked either at your local, Reading PA garage, or by yourself.
These are just a few things you should do regularly to make sure your car lasts. Watch for upcoming blogs on what else you can do to help maintain your vehicle.
