(NAPSI)—To make your car last, you have to put it first. Sticking to the maintenance schedule for your specific car keeps it running properly and protects you from expensive repairs. Here are three of the top items to consider to keep your car in tip-top shape.
• Oil changes—This is probably THE most important thing you can do for your car. Skipping even one oil change can start damaging your engine.
• Preventative maintenance—Fluids, spark plugs, drive belts and more all need to be checked and changed at certain intervals, especially on higher-mileage cars.
• Tire rotations—Tires can be very expensive to replace. As one vehicle owner complained, “It’s easy to pass service milestones if you don’t get reminders...I had to replace four tires on my wife’s SUV before their time at over $900 a set.”
Fortunately, taking care of your car can be easier with help from myCarfax.com. You can sign up at no cost to get reminders when it’s time for the next service visit.
