Properly maintaining your vehicle is essential to ensure it runs safely and efficiently for years to come. While some maintenance tasks require the expertise of a trained mechanic, there are several things you can easily do yourself to keep your car in top shape. Here are five simple vehicle maintenance items you can do on your own with minimal tools:
- Check Tire Pressure: Many gas stations have air pumps with pressure gauges built in
- Check Fluid Levels: You can see many of the reservoir tanks just by looking under the hood
- Replace Air Filter: Cabin and engine air filters are usually very easy to access and swap out
- Replace Wiper Blades: Our Parts Center staff can help you install new blades if you purchase a set from us
- Clean Battery Terminals: Visually inspect and use a wire brush to clean off corrosion
