Car Maintenance Tips and Tricks
How many of us regularly check our oil? If I asked you how much oil oil were left in your car at this very moment, would you know the answer?
By unknowingly letting the oil drain out of your car, your engine will soon be destroyed, leaving you on the side of the road in need of repairs.
Check Your Transmission Fluid
Another important part of our car is the transmission. If the transmission begins to break down, you may lose the ability to shift our car into reverse.
It’s incredibly important to check your transmission fluid, both to make sure that you have enough, and insure it’s clean.
If you see metal shavings in your fluid, or if it’s a dark cloudy colour, you should take it into your mechanic immediately for a flush. If you do not, you’ll likely lose your gears and need to pay for a new transmission.
Pay Attention to your Dash Lights
Today, there are many dash lights that can warn you of a wide range of issues that your car may by experiencing. Be sure that you research the problem when if you see one of the lights go on.
If its an issue that needs professional attention and instead of taking your car in to resolve the minor issue you decide to leave it to 'fix itself' you’ll most likely face an even larger issue in the future.
Make your tires last a little longer?
Take your vehicle into a shop to get the tyres rotated at least twice a year. This will allow each tire to get worn more evenly, resulting in them lasting longer and therefore saving you money!
