How To Extend The Life Of Your Car

If you’ve just splashed out on a brand-new BMW, or maybe spent the last ten years nurturing and caring for your dad’s old Jag, the last thing you want is it packing in on you out of nowhere!
Fortunately, there are lots of ways to extend the life of your car and keep it on the road for many years to come! Read on to find out how…

Keep Calm & Carry On

First thing’s first – a car that’s driven responsibly stands a better chance of making it to the end of its warranty than one that’s been the repeat victim of rocks, sharp corners, and general road rage!
Keep calm on the road and drive like you want to make it home in one piece!

Stay Cool

Avoid overheating your engine by driving too fast, driving for too long without breaks, or both of those at once! Let your car’s engine cool down intermittently.

Keep Debris Out

A poorly made grille is made of weak, easily damaged plastic and has large apertures that lets leaves, small rocks and all kinds of rubbish into your car’s internal system, where they can clog up and damage the intercoolers and radiators. Invest in a tightly knitted, steel grille with optimised weave design for superior airflow that both allows your engine to cool, and keeps it protected from debris. Check out our collection here!

Use Clean Oil

Keep your oil topped up and change it regularly. No car should be running on dirty oil or running on empty!

Check Tire Pressure

Your car’s tires are the same as your legs – they don’t just look pretty; they do a lot of the work! Keep an eye on them and if you spot signs of reduced pressure, get your car to the garage.

Watch The Brake Pads

See any trouble? Again, give your garage a ring.

Keep Your Car Clean

Wash your car! That is all.

Don’t Leave It To The Last Minute

If you notice any kind of problem with your car, no matter how minor, see to it as quickly as you can. Some problems worsen over time, and your car may need repair work doing which is best done sooner rather than later.
