7 Great Tips To Save Money On Car Parts And Maintenance
By: Ispas Marin
Taking care of your car maintenance can be very rewarding if done properly so
here's a list of seven tips that can help you save money on your car parts and
service.
1. A well tuned car can has a fuel consumption from 25% to 33% lower than a
poorly tuned car making a tune-up cheaper than driving without it, tuning your
car for better performance can save you between $150 and $250 per year.
2. Regardless of the number of miles the manual recommends a oil change and
filter change you should change them every 3,000 miles. This is one of the most
important factors in your engine's life since it's going to prolong your
engine's life and you're going to save on engine car parts. The potential
savings are $500 to $3000.
3. Dirty air filter means more gasoline used and reduces the engine's life so
you should check it regularly, maybe monthly. The air filter can be cleaned by
blowing it with a hose or can be replaced. You can save about $130 per year..
4. Using steel-belted radial tires can increase the number of miles you make per
year by up to 10%, saving this way about $130 per year.
5. Most cars, don't work better on premium gas, so, unless your car is pinging
or knocking you shouldn't use higher octane gas. If your car doesn't have a high
performance engine, using the gas that best suits your car's engine can save you
$200 to $400 per year.
6. Having under inflated tires makes your engine burn about 6% more gas so make
sure you check your tire pressure regularly.
7. If your tires are improperly balanced the tread on them will be destroyed. In
addition, your suspension and shock absorbers can be damaged leading to more
expense on car parts and service. Balancing your tires once a year can add
thousands of miles to their life.
