CAR CARE TIPS

• ​Replace your engine's spark plugs every 60,000 miles for platinum plugs and every 90,000 miles for iridium. Some plugs may need to be replaced every 30,000 miles, check with your trusted technician to determine how often yours should be replaced. Replacing your spark plugs regularly keeps the air and fuel mixture burning clean and more efficiently.
  

• Check your brake fluid every 30,000 miles.​

• ​Make sure wheels are properly aligned as having them out of alignment can lead to your car "dragging".
  

• By changing your car's filters and keeping them clean you can decrease the amount of gas use by 10% and every penny counts!here.
  

• Check your oil and replace every 3,000 miles for regular and 5,000 miles for synthetic. Low oil makes your engine work harder
  

• Get regular engine tune-ups and car maintenance checks. There may be something going on in your car without your knowledge and waiting until you hear that "banging" sound will end up costing you more in the long run.
  

• Washing your car regularly not only helps it to look good now, it also helps keep any salt, dirt or grime kicked up by your tires from collecting in the undercarriage which could eventually cause rust.
  

• Flush your cooling system and change the coolant once a year to prevent corrosion and deposits from building up.
  

• Check your tires  regularly to ensure proper inflation as low tire pressure will affect fuel economy and handling. Also, have them rotated every 5,000 miles or every 6 months.
  

• Use the grade of oil recommended by your car's manufacturer. High compression engines generate more power and therefore require higher octane fuel to prevent detonation. Running premium in an engine that is not turbo or super-charged means your car is only using about 75% of that fuel while the remaining 25% is just expelled out of the tail pipe. 

• The cooler your car, the less your gas will evaporate....so park in the shade!
