Lighten up your key chain :Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition.The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure.To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded.

Avoid hose hassles Check the hoses under your
hood every month or two to avoid the hassle of
a broken hose while you’re on the road. With
the car cool and off, squeeze the hoses. If they
are hard or make a crunching sound, replace
them. Ditto if they are extremely soft or
sticky.With the car warm but off, examine hoses
for bulges and collapsed sections. If you find
any, the hose walls are weak, and it’s time to
replace the hose. Never drive with a ruptured
coolant hose, or you are liable to overheat the
engine and damage it. Other hoses are crucial
to operation of your power brakes and cruise-
control systems.

Change lanes: Turn on your signal when there is enough space for you to change lanes. After signalling, check your blind spot one more time before starting to move into the other lane. Your signal should be on soon enough to give traffic behind you time to react to the signal.

Place a towel under baby seats: All manner of food bits and liquids can accumulate under a baby seat, where they can permanently stain the upholstery. Place a sheet of heavy plastic and an absorbent towel under the seat to prevent damage, and re-secure the seat according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Renew fabric upholstery: Spraying fabric car
seats and carpets with a fabric protectant, such
as Scotchgard, will make them resist dirt and
stains, and make them easier to clean.
Thoroughly clean the fabrics before using one
of these products and then test the product on
an inconspicuous place to be sure the treatment
will not discolor the fabric.

Buy used tires: If you own a car that you plan to drive only for another year, the last thing you want to do is to buy a new set of tires. If it’s time to replace those tires though, it’s really time. Rather than hesitate, buy a set of used tires. Call local tire dealers to see what’s available. You’ll be surprised by how much wear is left in tires that are turned in by image-conscious car owners. Have your tire size handy.

Don’t forget to flush Coolant-antifreeze eventually degrades and becomes contaminated. Flush it from your cooling system as recommended in your manual (typically every two years; every five years for newer coolants). Failing to do so can damage your radiator, clog your heater core, and cause the thermostat and water pump to fail.

Keep leather from drying out and cracking:
Leather cars seats are durable and don’t require
a lot of maintenance. After a few years,
however, the seats can become soiled. Use a
leather cleaner to remove dirt and stains.Then
apply a leather protectant formulated for
pigmented or top-coated grain leather (the
leather used for most leather car upholstery).
Protectants will resist stains and make the
upholstery easier to clean in the future. Choose
a protectant that includes conditioners to keep
your leather supple.

Inspect wheel-well splashguards These guards, however flimsy on many of today’s cars, help keep water and winter’s salty slush from splashing up into the engine compartment, where it can damage sensitive electrical components. Unfortunately, these guards tear off easily — sometimes without the driver knowing it. Check for damage to these guards when you wash your car. Re-secure with the appropriate fasteners or replace as needed. As added protection from splashed-up muck, slush, and debris, install mud flaps (also called splash guards) on your vehicle.

Have wheel alignment checked: Have your car’s wheel alignment checked every 30,000 miles (48,000 km), or as recommended in your owner’s manual. Also have it checked after buying new tires and when you replace a rack-and-pinion steering unit or other steering parts. Improper tire alignment will shorten the life of your tires as well as cause poor handling. If your steering is stiffer than normal or the vehicle pulls to one side, you probably have an alignment problem.

Dilute your coolant: Your cooling system needs both coolant-antifreeze and water, so don’t pour undiluted coolant into your cooling system. Dilute it with water to the commonly recommended 50-50 ratio. Similarly, don’t use straight water in your system either.The coolant protects against corrosion and freezing.The water ensures good heat transfer from the coolant to the radiator

Choose a good car insurer: Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, disaster inevitably strikes — typically in the form of an accident. Make sure that your car will be repaired to the best possible standard by finding an insurer that will pay for parts from the original manufacturer and guarantee the repairs it authorizes

Protect car paint from the sun: Paint does more than make your vehicle look great. It’s also the first line of defense against rusted body panels. Of course, the best way to protect the paint is to park the car in a garage. If that is not possible, park in the shade or purchase a car cover. The sun’s ultraviolet rays break down paint and cause it to fade. Some car covers protect your car from more than sun, moisture, bird droppings, and dust — they also have a thin layer of cushioning that will guard against light impact, such as from a tipped bicycle or small falling tree branch.

Don’t forget the PCV valve : The PCV (positive
crankcase ventilation) valve is an emissions
control device on older cars — check your
service manual to see if your car has one.The
valve recirculates partially burned gases from
the engine’s crankcase to the combustion
chamber. Important to a properly functioning
engine, the valve should be changed every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) or as specified in your
owner’s manual. In addition to helping you get
the most from a tank of gasoline, it helps to
prevent the buildup of harmful sludge and
corrosion.When replacing your PCV valve, be
sure you use the correct one or you may
damage your engine

Fill with washer fluid only : Don’t add water to the windshield washer reservoir. It won’t clean as well as washer fluid, and it may freeze in cold weather and damage the system. Don’t try to run your windshield washer system once you suspect there’s no more fluid in the tank, or you may damage the washer fluid pump.

Top off your brake fluid : Check brake fluid monthly.Wipe dirt from the master cylinder lid before you open it. If you need fluid, add the type recommended by your car’s maker. Never substitute other fluids, such as transmission or power-steering fluid. And don’t use brake fluid from a previously opened container. Once exposed to air, brake fluid absorbs moisture and contaminates easily

Wash your car :Road salt, sludge and pollution can lead to costly body work. Without regular cleaning, you can start to notice rust on the bottom of your doors within four years. Another three to four years and the corrosion will creep to underbody components, like brake lines. It can cost thousands in rust-related repairs if you neglect to wash your car, especially near ocean/gulf shorelines where the road sand or morning dew might be salty.

For stubborn carpet or mat stains: After
vacuuming floor mats or interior carpeting,
apply foam rug cleaner to resistant stains as
directed by the maker. Work the foam into a
few square feet at a time, using a wet sponge
or brush. Vacuum when dry.
