5 Car Maintenance Oversights to Avoid at All Costs

Most car owners don't know why their vehicles deteriorate. Most of the time owners focus in finding what they did wrong without knowing that the biggest reason cars are always going back and forth to the shop is because of what the didn't do. We want our insurance customers driving safe vehicles so please don't forget the following vehicle maintenance tasks:
1.) Ignoring tires. Buying brand new tires is not enough to take good care of your car. Most car owners do not check their car’s tire pressure from time to time. As a result, they usually end up buying and changing their tires again even when they are still relatively new. Just because your tires look fine in the outside does not mean they are in perfect condition. You have to check the tire pressure at least once a month. Use the driver’s side door jamb to know the proper inflation when checking your tire’s pressure.

2.) Neglecting belts and hoses. Many drivers and vehicle owners don't mind to their belts and hoses because they are nothing but belts and hoses. They take these as if they are not an important part of the car. What they do not know is that a simple problem in your car’s belts and hoses can lead to much more serious problems, such as power steering failure, water pump failure, coolant leakage, engine overheat and many more.

3.) Forgetting to wash the car. Washing your car every now and then is not just about vanity. It is all about taking good care of your car. Many car owners only wash their cars once a month or even rarer than that. Different kinds of dirt sticking into your car can cause corrosion, oxidized paint and rust. If you want to keep your car at its best state, do not wait for too long to give it a shower.

4.) Clogging up air filter. Car owners of newer vehicle models do not worry too much about clogged air filter knowing that it won’t have an impact when it comes to fuel economy. Even so, dirty and clogged air filter is a factor in how car accelerates. Keeping it clean all the time helps your car be at its best state. Checking and 
replacing air filter is an easy task. There is no reason for you not to do it.

5.) Not checking fluids. It cannot be denied that only a few car owners do check their fluids. It is recommended to check all your car fluids – coolant, engine oil, brake fluid and power steering fluid – to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Also, it is a must to change your fluids at standard intervals.

The things listed above are not difficult to do nor are they not time-consuming. Allocating just a few minutes of your week to what needs to be done and you'll keep your vehicle in better condition and your family safer.

I like your suggestion to inspect the condition of timing belt and hoses at a regular interval. Because damaged timing belt and hoses could affects the mechanical output of the engine even could causes physical damage of the engine components. So, the condition of different components of the vehicles needs to be evaluated and damaged components should be replaced with suitable alternatives. Some people underestimates the importance of evaluation of different components which could cost them lot in near future.

Home, family, health and job- everything requires care and maintenance. Well, your convertible does, too. For many operatives, car aftercare is low on the list of preferences. In my opinion, it should not be. Nobody has time for unexpected car repairs. Do you know- why I called it unexpected? Because maximum malfunctions occur due to our negligence. When you don't know what to do → do one thing → follow your factory maintenance regimen. Because keeping up with your factory maintenance regimen will help you in protecting your speed machine.

Sometimes we do certain mistakes by which our car has to suffer a lot. We have to take it to the auto repair shop frequently for repair. The author in this blog has mentioned some of these car maintenance oversights that we should avoid at all costs to drive safely. At times we ignore to take care of the car tires. Therefore we have to buy and change tires very often. But we should not do as such. We should check the tire pressure once a month. Similarly we must not forget to check the fluids,wash the car and shouldn't neglect in replacing air filters, maintaining belts & hoses.

At times, we neglect in car maintenance. The author has mentioned some of these mistakes that we should avoid at all costs in this blog. All the new car owners often neglect in changing the clogged air filter knowing that it would affect the fuel economy. Checking and replacing air filter has a positive impact on the fuel economy of a vehicle. Replacing it at regular intervals increases the fuel economy of the vehicle. So, we must replace the clogged air filter. Other mistakes that we should avoid are not checking the fluid level, not checking tire pressure, forgetting to wash the car etc.
