All automobiles are going to require the odd repair now and then. However, if you can limit the amount of repairs your vehicle needs over the course of its life, you can save yourself money and headaches. The best way to do this is with the right car preventative maintenance.

Preventative (or preventive) maintenance reduces the likelihood that your vehicle will need major repairs. Preventative maintenance also keeps your car operating at maximum efficiency. Regular preventative maintenance should include:

  • The inspection of oil and coolant levels, the engine’s air filter, the tire pressure and status of the tread, and all the lights on your vehicle, including your headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and parking lights.
  • Rotating your tires to increase their lifespan and their efficacy.
  • Waxing your vehicle to prevent rust from forming.
  • Transmission fluid checks to ensure your transmission is healthy and well-lubricated.

Your car also requires some preventative maintenance services less frequently. These services include:

  • Battery performance check
  • Coolant fluid exchange
  • Shocks and struts inspection
  • Spark plug inspection and replacement
  • Inspection and (if necessary) the replacement of your serpentine belt
  • Seasonal check-ups and tire changes
  • Windshield wiper replacement
