Car maintenance can be a nice blend of DIY tasks and professional services. At D Mac’s Auto Repair in Escondido, CA, we always encourage our customers to do a bit of auto maintenance in between visits, but we also tell them how to lengthen the lives of their cars and keep them looking great, with the following car care tips:
Knowledge is Power
This is our favorite of the different car care tips we provide because it helps us, too. How? Well, we encourage all our customers to look at their vehicle’s owner’s manual. This is because it contains all you ever need to know to do optimal auto care on your vehicle. For example, it is the owner’s manual that talks about the right tire pressure, the right kinds of oil, the mandatory or recommended services (such as a 30k mile service, and so on), and more. Is yours still in that tidy pouch in the glove box? Take it out and learn optimal car maintenance tips today.
Speaking of Maintenance
As we already said, another of our car care tips involves professional auto care. While you can do some tasks on your own, we strongly suggest you have regular service visits so we can check things like fluid levels, various systems, the tire balance and all the rest.
Keeping it Clean
While you might be surprised to read that washing the car ranks as one of the top car care tips, it makes a lot of sense. Consider that washing your vehicle keeps it looking good but also removes debris that could scratch it and cause rust to form over time. Washing it lets you find signs of rust soon and get them dealt with. You can also learn how to safely wash the engine and keep your car “new car smell” fresh inside, too.
