It was almost impossible to find a car with 100,000 miles that still has its original owner in those days. It’s not uncommon for cars to go beyond 300,000 miles, sometimes even up to 500 000 miles. It’s obvious, isn’t it? It all boils down to maintenance.
Longevity
Most likely, you’ve seen a car older than Dracula. Surprisingly, it doesn’t look like that. A well-maintained car will last longer than a car that has been neglected. It’s often the small things that make a big difference over the long-term, such as regularly checking your tires pressure, brakes, fluid levels, battery level, and lights.
Increase Your Safety
Poor car maintenance can indirectly lead to road accidents. You can neglect to service your brakes and it will malfunction, causing an accident. A worn-out tire that wasn’t supposed to be replaced suddenly bursts while you drive at high speeds – do you see the problem?
Maintaining your car can increase your safety and even save your life.
Improves Performance and Reliability
You will notice a decrease in performance if you drive your car for too long without maintaining it. You might notice a slower acceleration than it did fresh from the dealer. It could be that the fuel economy has declined or that it is choking when you turn it on. Although a wizard did not put a curse on your car, it is common for components of cars to fail if they aren’t maintained or replaced regularly.
Increases the Resale Value of Your Vehicle
Have you ever wondered why classic cars sell for a higher price decades after their purchase? This happens often with rare and limited cars that have been kept in perfect condition by their owners. Even if your vehicle doesn’t belong to the rarest, it will still be worth more if it is kept in good condition.
Saves You Expensive Repair Costs
Sometimes the cost of fixing a vehicle is too high. You can save money by scheduling regular maintenance checks to prevent the crack from leaking into your wallet. You get the idea? Prevention is always better than treatment!
Minimizes Roadside Emergencies
It can be frustrating when your car won’t start in the cold of winter or suddenly stops working on the side of the road due to heat problems. Even more frustrating is when your car stops starting in the middle of nowhere and there’s no signal from the network. You are forced to abandon your vehicle and go to help. Whoa! It’s hard to believe that this is possible. It reads like a horror film script.
You can reduce the chance of serious roadside emergencies by taking good care of your car.
Protects the Environment
Even if you don’t care about a cleaner environment, many countries have regulations that limit vehicle exhaust. It’s not only car manufacturers that have to reduce vehicle emission, but car owners also have to take responsibility for keeping cars off the roads. Properly maintaining your vehicle is the best way to ensure it meets environmental protection standards.
