Keep Cruising! Did you know that one in four drivers keep their vehicle for an average of seven years or more? Nearly another third (29 per cent) say they typically own their car for three to four years. When you’re keeping your vehicles on the road for the better part of a decade, it’s important to implement consistent maintenance habits to ensure a smooth ride.
Keep it on the calendar
Whether consistency comes based on a mileage amount or a specific date on the calendar, setting and keeping regular tune-up appointments is a simple way to keep your vehicle healthy. Regular maintenance inspections can be a great time to evaluate other parts of your vehicle, not just what’s beneath the hood. For example, most drivers (78 per cent) also use their maintenance routine as a chance to check their tires. And be sure to examine your windshield wipers and headlights to see if they need to be replaced.
The following are tips for drivers looking to keep their cars cruising well into the 2020s.
