Here are 5 Easy Car Maintenance Tips to follow:
Changing a Flat Tire: You never know when a flat tire could happen to you, which is why learning to change a tire is something everyone should know. Here's an easy step by step guide on how to change a tire: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-a-Tire
Clean and Worn Out Wiper Blades: Make sure to check for cracked or worn wiper blades regularly, especially during the rainy season. Clean dirty wiper blades with a wet paper towel. Wiper blades should be replaced every year.
Maintenance: Make sure to get your oil changed every 3,000 miles, a tire rotation every 6,000 miles, and have your car aligned and balanced every 10k-12k miles.
Gas: Regular gasoline is adequate for most cars, but make sure if you have a luxury car such as a Cadillac, Mercedes, or BMW you use premium gas. Also, the more weight inside your car, the more power it will need. So if you have a full car load, expect your gas to run out more quickly as weight does affect your gas.
Brakes: Make sure to listen to the sound of your brakes when you are driving. If you hear any squealing it's most likely time to change your brake pads. A way to save your breaks is by not slamming them on every 3 seconds. Always drive a car distance between you and the car in front of you so when it is time to stop you can ease into it.
By taking good care of your car, it will save you money by reducing your costs in repairs.
