Just check out our handy guide and see for yourself how easy it can be.

Clean It

It’s amazing how much of a difference cleaning your vehicle can make, both on how you feel driving it, and on its performance. Often times a good scrub can really refresh your vehicle and make it feel like a new ride, even if you’ve had it for years. Giving your used car a thorough wash once a month will remove dirt and debris that can damage your paint, windows, windshields, tires, brakes, and even your engine. Be sure to wax the paint at least every six months if you want to really preserve the exterior.

Maintain It

The biggest factor when extending the life of your vehicle is following a consistent basic maintenance schedule. It may not seem like a big deal to put off your maintenance to save a few dollars on your service bill, but neglecting your maintenance can lead to a costly repair down the line. Regularly maintaining the oil, brake pads, filters, and tires can dramatically increase the life of your vehicle, and save you a ton of money down the road.
