Our Optimal car performance hack helps cars last longer by preventing wear and tear, identifying potential issues early, and ensuring optimal performance. This includes routine tasks like oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks, which contribute to the overall health and longevity of the vehicle. Additionally, timely / regular maintenance help cars avoid major repairs and keep it running efficiently. Below we would outline and provide illustrations on how to care for your car(s) to save so much on repairs.
Fluids: Check engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant levels regularly.
Tires: Inspect tire pressure, tread depth, and overall condition. Rotate tires as recommended in your car’s manual.
Brakes: Test brakes for responsiveness and check brake pads and discs for wear.
Battery: Examine the battery for corrosion, and ensure it’s securely mounted. Test the battery’s charge and replace if necessary.
