How To Extend The Life Of Your Used Car

Are you the proud owner of a used car? Do you want to keep it running as long and as efficiently as possible? Then you’ve come to the right place! At Car City Central, we know all about getting the most out of your used car through our long history of reliable used cars. We’ve put together some of our top tips to help you extend the life of your used car and keep it running like new.

One of the most important things you can do to keep your used car running strong is to stay up-to-date with regular maintenance. Make sure you’re taking your car for oil changes and tune-ups as recommended by the manufacturer and that you’re replacing filters, brakes, spark plugs, and other parts as needed. This can save you an expensive visit later down the road.

It’s important to be aware of potential problems that can arise with your used car. Pay attention to strange noises, smells, or vibrations, as well as any changes in performance. Once you notice a problem, it’s a good idea to get it checked out by a professional.

You can also extend the life of your used car by being mindful of how you drive. Accelerate and brake gently, and avoid stop-and-go traffic. Regularly inspect your tire pressure to make sure they are properly inflated. Using the recommended grade of motor oil will bring longevity to your used vehicle.

The sun can cause a lot of damage to the interior and exterior of your car, such as leaking batteries and engine issues. Car City Central always advises parking in the shade, especially if your vehicle will be left unattended for prolonged periods of time. It will also prevent fading in your car’s paint job and cracking of interior components.

By following these simple tips, you can extend the life of your used car and keep it running like new for years to come. For more advice on how to care for your vehicle, check out our blog or talk to one of our experienced mechanics at Car City Central .
