Why your Car needs an Annual Physical
According to the Car Care Council, a nonprofit
educational organization - four out of five cars on the road need maintenance right now.
Heres the reason why your car needs a physical :
- Lower Repair Costs. Discovering a worn part early before it
causes major damage will be less costly.
- Safety. A poorly maintained vehicle can cause you to have a
serious accident.
- Better Performance. Well-tuned cars burn less fuel and provide a
more comfortable ride.
- Cleaner Environment. Poorly maintained cars pollute the
environment.
- Improved Trade-in/Resale Value. Well-maintained cars are worth
two to three time more than neglected ones.
- Better Handling. Incorrect wheel alignment, worn suspension
components and/or worn tires cause a poor ride and rough handling. Also, could be a cause
for an accident.
- Better Budgeting and fewer Surprise Costs. When a checkup
indicates the need for a replacement part you can budget accordingly.
- Dependability. A well-maintained vehicle is more likely to
start
and less likely to stall or leave you stranded.
- Driving enjoyment. Its more fun to drive a car that
holds the road well and thats dependable.
- Pride of Ownership. Its said that your car is an extension of your
personality. Keep it looking and acting well.
