Regular preventive maintenance is key to extending the life of your vehicle, especially as the average age of cars on the road reaches a record 12.4 years and buying a car is more expensive than ever.
Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for routine maintenance. Other tips are:
CHECK AND CHANGE YOUR OIL AND LIVE FLUIDS - Your vehicle's fluids are critical to its reliability and longevity. Check and change the oil and brake fluid according to your manufacturer's recommendations.
CHECK YOUR TIRES AND BRAKES - To ensure your car is winter ready, have your tires and brakes checked to see if they are working properly.
CHECK RADIATOR FLUID LEVEL - Radiator fluid (also known as coolant/antifreeze) circulates through the engine to keep it cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
CHECK THE HEATING SYSTEM – As the temperature around you continues to drop, make sure your vehicle's heating system is working properly, especially in the event of a sudden breakdown or problem.
PACK AN EMERGENCY KIT – Your kit should contain first aid, non-perishable snacks, water, an ice scraper, jumper cables, torches, a blanket and basic tools.
