Keeping your vehicle washed and waxed not only keeps it looking great, it helps maintain the vehicle’s resale value because it protects the finish from scratches and corrosion.

Don’t use household detergents to wash your car. They are hard on the finish, dulling the paint and leaving a filmy buildup that detracts from the appearance. Instead, use an automotive car wash agent designed to keep your vehicle sparkling clean.

The change from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time every fall catches many drivers unprepared as they find themselves suddenly commuting in the dark. The reduced visibility of nighttime driving means slower going, so allow extra travel time for your commute.

For vehicles that are parked inside, car care experts recommend that the wiper blades be replaced at least once a year or when the wiper blades start streaking – which ever comes first. On vehicles kept outside or in areas where the wipers receive excessive use, changing the blades two or even three times a year is recommended for clear vision.

A loud muffler may not be just annoying; it can also be dangerous, allowing leaking exhaust fumes to enter the passenger compartment. The danger of carbon monoxide poisoning from a damaged exhaust system is very real. Have it inspected and repaired as soon as possible.

The correct tire pressure for a vehicle is determined by the size and weight of the vehicle, the type of tires it uses, load hauled, and the type of driving the vehicle is intended for. The vehicle manufacturer places a tire inflation placard in each vehicle that gives the proper tire inflation pressures for that vehicle. This placard is located on the inside of the glove box door, inside the fuel-filler door, or on the driver’s side doorpost (depending upon manufacturer). Most manufacturers also list tire inflation levels in the owner’s manual.

A minimum two-second distance between you and the vehicle ahead assures plenty of stopping room. To gauge your distance, let the vehicle in front of you pass by a fixed object, and then count the seconds(one-thousand-and-one, one-thousand-and-two…) until you reach the same point and adjust your distanced accordingly.
