Maintenance
Maintenance is an essential part of owning a car.
Organising regular services and getting problems fixed early will
extend the life of your car and ensure that it’s safe for you to
drive.
Many of the areas that need regular attention are out of your
sight, like the rubber gaskets hidden in the engine. But some of
the most important things – like the condition of your tyres - are
right there to be seen, so you should train yourself to keep an eye
on them.
Good car maintenance involves having your car serviced regularly
by a mechanic, and doing what you can to look after it
day-to-day.
Car maintenance is expensive; in fact, it is one of the biggest
costs of having a car. It is important to be realistic and plan
ahead financially – cutting corners will decrease your car’s resale
value and make it less safe to drive.
