TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE WITH BETTER CAR CARE

Check Your Spark Plugs Regularly

• To keep your engine running at its peak performance, be sure to check your spark plugs regularly. A good time for this is during an oil change. 

• A misfiring spark plug can reduce your fuel efficiency by as much as 30%! 

• Keeping your engine tuned will help you get the best gas mileage and will also decrease the amount of pollution it creates!

• Be sure to keep up on car care with oil changes and tune-ups as recommended in the manual to reduce the possibility of more expensive repairs later on.

​

It is Important to Inspect Your Tires Regularly

• Check that your tires are properly inflated and aligned to get you the best miles per gallon and keep your car running smooth.

• Tires that are not properly inflated will force your engine to work even harder, running up your cost of gas and wearing out your engine more quickly.

• If your tires are out of alignment your vehicle will be working harder and your tires will wear much quicker, putting you in a potentially unsafe driving situation.

​

Avoid Aggressive Driving to Increase Your Vehicle's Longevity

• When driving, avoid speeding and sudden accelerations.

• Erratic accelerations are huge gas guzzling habits that will also put significant wear-and-tear on your engine, transmission, steering and the suspension system.

• Developing better driving habits will also allow your brakes to last longer as well.

​

Remove Excess Items From Your Vehicle for Better Gas Mileage

• Try to remove any unnecessary items from your vehicle.

• The less extra weight your vehicle is towing around, the better gas mileage you will receive.

• Keep your vehicle as aerodynamic as possible by removing any roof-top carriers when not in use.
