New Year, New Car! Tips to Make Your New Wheels Last:

2019 has arrived, and so has your new car! Before you get carried away with all the excitement of a new set of wheels, you should spend a few moments chatting to your local car mechanic about how to best maintain the new car on an ongoing basis. General daily car maintenance can go a very long way towards saving you a lot of money in the future.

Auto Repair Tips for Maintaining a New Car

Preventative maintenance is the best way to increase your car’s lifespan, but it’s not something that comes naturally to everyone. To make things easier for you, we have compiled a few tips to keep your new car in tip-top condition. You can carry out many of these maintenance tasks yourself, or you can turn to your trusted car mechanic to assist.

• Check your air filter,
• Change your spark plugs,
• Check the car battery,
• Check the water level in the vehicle regularly,
• Ensure that you regularly check the tire pressure, especially if you are going on a trip,
• Park the car inside a garage or under a cover,
• Check your brakes to ensure full functionality,
• Protect the seats with seat covers, and, last but not least,
• Drive carefully; reckless driving can put extra wear and tear on the vehicle.

It is important to ensure that you follow your vehicle’s maintenance and servicing schedule strictly.
