How to Keep Your Vehicle Running Smoothly
Are you tired of paying costly auto repairs? The best way to avoid costly auto repairs is to properly maintain your vehicle with preventative auto maintenance. Let’s take a look at the importance of maintaining your vehicle.
According to an article at islandinsurance.com, “Routine Auto Maintenance”
“Properly maintaining your vehicle will not only ensure its safety and dependability, but may also increase fuel efficiency. According to the Car Care Council, performing simple and inexpensive maintenance may save as much as $1,200 a year in gasoline cost.
Vehicle “tune-up” used to be associated with the routine replacement of key ignition system parts like spark plugs and ignition points, along with basic engine adjustments. Today, spark plugs can last up to 100,000 miles, there are no points to replace, carburetors to rebuild and you can’t adjust the engine’s timing.
Vehicle engines are now equipped with sophisticated electronic ignition and fuel systems, using one or more onboard computers to control critical engine and transmission management functions.
The Car Care Council estimates more than $60 billion in vehicle maintenance is not performed every year. Properly maintaining your vehicle will not only ensure its safety and dependability, but may also increase fuel efficiency as well as help maintain your vehicle’s value. It is recommended to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual and follow its preventive vehicle maintenance schedule. It is also recommended to have the following inspected:
- Battery, charging and starting
- Engine mechanical
- Powertrain control (including on board diagnostic checks)
- Fuel
- Ignition
- Emissions” To read the entire article click here.
