Car Tips

  Turn Off Electronics Before Starting Your Car

Switching off lights, radio, and AC before starting helps reduce strain on the battery – especially in colder months.

  Let the Engine Warm Up – But Don’t Idle Too Long

It’s good to give the engine 30 seconds to circulate oil on cold starts. But idling for several minutes just wastes fuel.

  Wash Your Car Regularly – Especially in Winter

Road salt can corrode paint and metal parts. Regular washing (including the underside) protects your vehicle long-term.

  Listen to Your Car

Unusual noises like squealing, grinding or knocking often mean something’s not right. Catching it early can save you time and money.

  Check Fluids Monthly

Oil, coolant, brake fluid and washer fluid are all essential. A quick check once a month helps avoid breakdowns.

  Rotate Your Tyres Every 6,000–8,000 Miles

This ensures even wear and extends tyre life. It’s often overlooked but makes a big difference.
