Regular maintenance will keep your car running longer.

Aside from buying a house, purchasing a car is one of the biggest investments you can make. Finding ways to make your car last longer is an important way to preserve the value of your car. Ensure your car retains its value and stays in great shape by following these guidelines.

Keeping Your Car Running

A car is only good as long as it remains in working order. In order to keep your car running and in good shape for longer, consider:

      • Performing regular maintenance. Regular maintenance can help the interior of your engine work just as it should and catch potential problems before they start becoming a real issue. Refer to your car owner’s manual for more detailed information about when you should perform services like tune-ups and brake checks.
      • Changing the oil regularly. Clean oil allows you to avoid a number of engine problems. Change oil to ensure there is enough to keep your engine running smoothly.
      • Going easy on your car. Slamming on your breaks, changing gears too quickly or otherwise driving recklessly can speed up the normal wear and tear on your car. Go easy on your engine and brakes to keep your car running longer and more efficiently.
      • Unloading unnecessary weight. Extra weight puts unnecessary strain on your engine and suspension, wearing them out more quickly than normal. Unload anything that is not necessary, like that camping equipment you haven’t used in three years… 🙂

If you detect a difference in the way your car feels, it’s best to have a trusted mechanic look at it. What is a small problem now could turn into a much larger problem down the road if not handled appropriately. By fixing issues early, you can keep more money in your pocket and protect your investment!
