Smart Car Care Tips From the Experts at Safa Autos

1. Check Tire Pressure Monthly
Low tire pressure can reduce fuel economy and damage your tires. Use a gauge to check them — especially before long trips.
2, Change Engine Oil On Time
Follow your vehicle’s oil change schedule. Fresh oil keeps your engine running smoothly and prevents costly repairs.
3. Don’t Ignore the Check Engine Light
It’s not just a suggestion. Get your car scanned — it could be something simple, or a major issue in the making.
4. Use the Right Fuel Type
If your vehicle needs premium gas, don’t downgrade. Long-term, it affects engine health and performance.
5. Rotate Tires Every 5,000–8,000 km
It prevents uneven wear and gives your tires a longer life. Bonus: better handling on the road.
6. Replace Wipers Before Rainy Season
Poor visibility is dangerous. New blades are cheap and easy to install — don’t wait until it’s too late.
7. Keep Your Battery Terminals Clean
Corroded terminals can prevent your car from starting. A simple wire brush can fix that in seconds.
8. Don’t Slam the Brakes Last Minute
It wears your brakes faster and increases the risk of skidding. Slow, controlled stops are always safer.
9. Use Parking Brakes (Even on Auto Cars)
It reduces strain on your transmission, especially on slopes.
10. Keep an Emergency Kit in the Trunk
Include jumper cables, flashlight, tire inflator, water, and a first aid kit. You’ll thank yourself later.
