Car Care Tips
Saving You Time And Money Over The Life Of Your Vehicle
The best way to save money when it comes to your vehicle is to keep up with its maintenance services. The price of getting your oil changed regularly costs much less than needing a major repair - many costly car repairs can be avoided!
At Rebuli Auto Service, we are always happy to help you with all of your maintenance services, but we also want to help you save money and take care of your vehicle on your own! We know it is never convenient to have your car in the shop, that’s why our ASE-Certified Technicians created a few great car care tips to help you keep your vehicle reliable, and save money at the gas pump.
Keep your vehicle clean. Avoid having mud in the undercarriage. It can weigh a significant amount and slow you down.
Consolidate your daily trips and errands. This will save you on the cost of restarting your engine, therefore saving you a lot of gas.
Try to avoid using the air conditioning when possible to increase your fuel economy.
Clear out your vehicle's trunk. More weight equals more drag.
Don't have your car in idle for too long. Turn off the engine if you anticipate a long wait.
Limit your car warm-ups in winter.
Avoid high speeds. We know this is almost impossible to resist but you can improve your gas mileage by up to 15 percent driving at 55 mph rather than 65 mph.
Use overdrive. If your car is equipped with overdrive gearing use it as soon as your speed is high enough.
Use cruise control. Driving at a constant speed is best for improving your gas mileage.
