Things You Can do to Make Your Car Last Longer

If you’ve ever had a large car repair bill after a routine service then, you probably know how it feels. You might also have asked yourself, how on earth did that happen and what can I do to make sure it doesn’t happen again?

Look after it

Sounds a bit of an obvious thing to say but, it couldn’t be any simpler than that. Machines need looking after, according to a company that help people pass their MOT and service in Witney, maintenance and even a bit of TLC from time to time can help.

Self-check

If you wait until your service or, for something to go wrong before you check or take your car to a garage then that is half the problem. As the owner, you are responsible, or should be for checking things like;

• Tire pressure and wear
• Oil and coolant levels
• Windscreen chips and cracks
• Correct operation of seatbelts
• Cleaning
• Wiper blades

If you don’t check any of these things between services, then you get a larger bill. As an example, your engine oil is a vital part of your car’s operation, if the oil is too low then you could end up with blown engine parts which, in turn can damage, or ruin other important parts of the car.

Look after your car and it should look after you

You’d be surprised at the number of people whom wouldn’t know where to start or how to check if things need replacing, if you are one of those people, do yourself a favor and do some learning on the Internet.
