New Year’s Resolutions to Keep Your Car in Good Working Order

by Roselands Auto Lakemba Mechanic

Many of us make New Year’s resolutions year on year. Often, those resolutions may relate to things such as not eating as much chocolate or making sure that we do more exercise, but what if this year your New Year’s resolution meant that your car would be in a better condition for the year ahead and be there for when you need it most?

Along with making sure that you book in for a regular car service near Earlwood, there are things that you can do in the weeks and months ahead to ensure the health of your car.

Your car’s tyre pressure

Tyre pressure on your car is one of those jobs that can be easy enough to forget unless you have a car that tells you that your tyre pressure needs attention. However, you should be checking the pressure every couple of weeks, and with the onset of the New Year, now is a great time to resolve to do this.

At the same time, you should visually examine the health and condition of your tyres, checking their tread is sufficient and that there are no bulges or rips.

Regularly change your car’s oil

Depending on how much you use your car, you should also regularly be changing the oil. This should usually be done around every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes soonest. You can have this done as part of your car service near Kingsgrove.

Service your car annually

Regularly servicing your car is one of the best ways to keep it in tip-top condition. If you’ve ever heard the saying that prevention is better than a cure, this is also true with cars. At Roselands Automotive Centre, our car service near Bexley will check for any problems or any areas that are likely to cause problems in the future.

What’s more, a full-service history means that you may get more money for your car when the time comes to sell it because it demonstrates that you have maintained the car well and taken care of any issues.

Check your fluids

While the thought of drinking anymore after Christmas and New Year may fill you with dread and your personal resolutions may be to cut back, this is not the case for your car. You should be checking the levels of antifreeze, coolant, brake fluid and your engine oil monthly so that your car remains in a good condition. By regularly checking, you can make sure there are no leaks.

Stick to your resolutions

Resolutions are easy to break, but with Roselands Automotive Centre, we make it easy for your car to get the service and repairs that it requires. With quality mechanic care, you can be confident that your car will see you through.
