Regular Car Maintenance: A Simple Schedule That Saves Money
Most big repair bills begin as small ignored problems. A basic routine keeps your car reliable and protects its resale value.
Every month
Check tyre pressure, engine oil level, coolant and washer fluid. Make sure all lights are working.
Every six months
Inspect brake pads, wiper blades and the battery terminals. Rotate the tyres for even wear.
Every year
Service the car, replace the engine oil and filters, and have the brakes and suspension inspected by a trusted workshop.
Keep records
Save every service bill. A complete history helps you spot patterns and fetch a better price when you sell.
