Top car care advice

Five tips to maintain your vehicle.

Many drivers view their vehicles as investments and with proper maintenance, they may drive safely for many years, save money on fuel and avoid expensive and unanticipated repairs.

Here are the top five suggestions for car upkeep:

Rotate the tyres

Maintain a maximum distance from them while distributing tyre wear evenly. A decent rule of thumb is every 9 000 to 12 000km, but check your car’s manual for specific recommendations.

Lighten the weight of your key holder

Just keep the key that is required to start your car in the key holder. A large load may damage the ignition tumblers, which would result in an ignition switch failure. When the key is “stuck” when you turn the ignition on, the switch may be about to fail and this is an early warning indication.

Always have an emergency kit with you

Don’t forget to include the power bank, torch, jack, and jumper cables (or a jump starter power bank). If your automobile breaks down, one of these things might save your life.

Check the wipers

Your visibility may be restricted by streaks on the windscreen caused by worn-out wipers. When the rubber strips are worn out, inspect them for signs of cracking and replace them. It won’t take more than 15 minutes for you to complete this simple task on your own.

Take care of the battery

Even if your battery doesn’t require any maintenance, you should nonetheless monitor it. Visually check it and keep it free of corrosion and dirt. Additionally, look for damage like cracks or bulges, which are clear signs that the battery needs to be changed.
