Follow these tips to keep your car running like new in the Bay Area. Many of these suggestions help prevent breakdowns and ensure your ride is just as comfy as the day you acquired your car or truck.
Tips to Keep Your Car Running Like New
Nobody wants to get old and run down and nobody wants their car to start driving like it is old and worn out. So, take good care of your car and stay on top of these maintenance steps.
Change the Serpentine Belt
This belt doesn’t connect the engine and transmission, it runs the accessories of your car. We really take all those additional features of our car for granted. When the A/C stops and there’s no radio or windshield wipers working, it is a major inconvenience. So, avoid it by having the serpentine belt replaced as soon as it shows signs of wear.
Spark Plug Maintenance
Keep your miles per gallon up and your car performing like a champ by replacing the spark plugs and the spark plug wires. See your manual to find out how often this should be done.
Get That Brake Job Done Sooner
Save yourself a lot of money and head off a real tragedy by having your brakes inspected annually. Most drivers are unable to tell the brakes have worn out, because it happens so slowly that it always just seems normal. A mechanic can check them quickly and let you know if it is time. Getting them replaced early will be a lot less expensive than waiting until the rotors must be replaced.
