When buying a car, rarely does anyone think about its future maintenance. We usually go for the ones with exceptionally good looks that give us the best performance. However, to maintain a car’s performance, you must be mindful about certain habits of yours. Even minor errors can impact the vehicle's performance. To prevent damage and extend your car’s lifespan, ensure regular servicing of your vehicle. 

Avoid these practices:

1. Many people overlook the importance of regularly checking tyre pressure. Driving with under-inflated tyres can result in various other problems. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain optimal tyre pressure.

2. After purchasing a car, most people focus on driving it without ever focusing on its servicing. You must remember that cars require regular maintenance over time. Not doing so may also affect the car’s performance.

3. Some people start their car while it is in gear. This practice can wear out the clutch plate and can impact the engine as well. 

4. There are people who opt for low-quality engine oil in an attempt to save money. Over time, this deteriorates the engine’s health. Poor engine oil quality also leads to poor car performance.

 

You can prolong your car’s lifespan, by following these tips

•    Regular maintenance: Ensure regular servicing of your car and adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations. 

•    Drive responsibly: Driving safely will extend your car’s lifespan too. Avoid aggressive driving like hard braking and speeding. 

•    Quality fuel: Always opt for high-quality fuel to maintain your car’s performance.

•    Keep it clean:  Regularly washing your car is extremely important. Moreover, also clean the interior of the car to protect mats and seats from any potential damage.

•    Regular driving: A lot of people buy a car, and keep it in their garages, using it only once in a month. This can adversely affect your car’s performance. If you own a car, then take it out and drive often to keep the engine components lubricated and prevent rust and corrosion.
