Herbie Is Not Just A Hunk Of Metal!
We give them names, we preen them in our driveways, sing slow jams to them, curse them when they fail and lament their passing at trade-in time. Cars are more than just a means of transportation.
In most cases your automobile is a precious companion. So why not take the time to ensure your car’s life is enjoyable and long? Here are a few tips on how to extend the life of your car:
1) Change the oil regularly.
2) Change the air filter.
3) Flush the fluids every two years.
4) Flush the cooling system every two years.
5) Monitor your brake pad thickness.
6) Rotate the tires.
7) Keep the front end aligned.
Start slowly. Especially when the car is cold.
9) Use the parking brake.
10) Wash your car.
11) Invest in an extended car warranty.
12) Read your owner’s manual.
A car is more than a hunk of metal; it is your complexion, your accomplice, not just a facilitator, but a destination in and of itself.
Invest this newly found knowledge in not only protecting yourself, but protecting your car.
Show your sidekick that you care, give it the proper attention that is deserved…and in turn, it will take care of you!
