Auto technicians say the key to keeping vehicles running
well-today and down the road-is routine preventative maintenance.
Yet many drivers tend to stall when it comes to keeping up with
some everyday automotive basics.
A recent survey found:
27% of cars had low or dirty engine oil
23% had low tire pressure
26% had inadequate cooling protection for the motor
21% needed new belts
17% had dirty air filters
11% had low or contaminated brake fluid
This kind of neglect can affect more than one system in your vehicle. A failure of one inexpensive part can lead to a domino-effect causing much more damage to other systems as well as your wallet. Preventative maintenance can add years to the life of your vehicle and actually comes out costing you less than a string of unexpected repairs.
Did you know that a fouled spark plug or restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 30 percent? A regular tune-up can prevent this unnecessary waste. Your owner's manual will list maintenance services at specific mileage intervals for your vehicle.
