Do you have more than one car, thus want to park one because you barely drive it. If you are traveling and need to park your car till you come back from your trip, here are some maintenance tips that will help sustain your car's durability. PARK YOUR CAR IN A SHADE It will be wise for you to park your car in a garage while traveling. You could as well park it under the shade in a situation where you don't have a garage. You could cover it with a car cover. This will save the car from harsh weather conditions, dusts or even prevent kids from scratching your car. DO NOT ENGAGE HAND BRAKE Don't engage the car's hand brake for the car you won't drive for a while. This is because the brake pads could get stuck and will cost you some money when you are ready to drive the car. Rather use wheel chocks otherwise called wedge to prevent your car from rolling. FILL THE FUEL TANK One of the problem you will encounter after parking a car for a long time is a leaking fuel tank due to rusting in the tank. However, you could avert such scenario by filling your fuel tank before parking the car. ENGINE MAINTENANCE It's better you service your car engine before parking it for a long time. It will also be nice you remove the car's battery from the car especially if you won't be around for long. http://www.naijacarlovers.com/2017/03/how-to-maintain-car-you-want-to-park.html?m=1 14 Likes 4 Shares

Cutehector: Don't pray for 'any kind of car' but a good one. Problematic car could frustrate and worsen your lifestyle and everything about you. It is better not having a car at all than a problematic car. 4 Likes |

Nice one, but your research is not that elaborate. At least you would have mentioned the tyres cos staying in one position will reduce the tyres life span. And also avoid parking it close to a bush cos it will be a good habitation for reptiles like snakes and lizards!... 6 Likes |

Cutehector:A car will help U hustle for d land and in fact lands faster. A car is a necessity more than a luxury. After accommodation,a car should come next. It will help Ur hustle a lot,U can get to meetings faster,U don't have to rely on d unreliable public transport to get to important meetings. If dem call U even for midnight, U go show. While at work or anywhere,U can package Ur garri and salt or food inside d car and go and drink when U are hungry. If U go see oga somewhere,dem say he no dey,u go kukuma find where shade,wind Ur seat back and sleep,while waiting for him. Hell,U can even sleep in Ur car when on transit,bath and change clothes in d nearest convenience and be on Ur way.Just look for a secure place like a hotel car park etc. U can even up Ur hustle by picking paying passengers when U travel or on Ur way to Ur destination. If U are going for a transfer or something, U can afford to carry pots,stoves,plates,even foam sef,instead of buying new ones. And d catch is that U can get a reliable,nice Nigerian used car like golf 3,nissan almera etc for b/w 300k to 600k but a land U buy for 600k will surely be in d bush,and will take many years b4 it appreciates. It's always a car first bro,but remember, keep it simple and neat. 8 Likes 1 Share |
