With the start of school for many just around the corner, here are some car care tips to help teens and parents:
• Always keep tires correctly inflated.
• Maintain recommended fluid levels.
• Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
• Rotate tires at regular intervals.
• Watch for mechanical irregularities, such as misalignment of wheels.
Whether they’re driving 500 miles to their university or five miles down the road to high school, students’ knowledge of proper vehicl maintenance will improve both their car’s safety and their personal safety as they head back to school.
High school and college students nationwide understand that being able to drive is tantamount to personal freedom, making it important for them to develop good car care habits early – habits that will pay off for years to come.
The chance that a 16- to 19-year-old will be in a crash, based on miles driven, is four times that of an older driver.
A car can break down at the worst possible moment and in the worst situation. The dangers associated with a poorly maintained car are significantly increased by the driver’s inexperience.
So, if you are a parent of a young driver or a young driver yourself, remember that taking care of a car consists of more than keeping it clean. To learn more about automotive and tire maintenance, visit www.mastercareusa.com
