6. Befriend a mechanic

Finding a reliable and trustworthy mechanic sometimes feels like an impossible task. So, when you find one that you like and you know you can trust, be nice and befriend him.

This way, you guarantee that your car is always in good hands and that the mechanic will never try to overcharge you for services that your car really didn’t need – a frequent practice in this industry. And let’s be honest, having a good mechanic you can call to clear up any doubts or quickly inspect your car for free is awesome.

7. Tire pressure

Tire pressure is critical for your safety. Many fatal accidents happen because people ignore the light warning on the dashboard or simply don’t check it.

Besides, having the correct tire pressure will give the best gas mileage possible, better handling, and improve the lifespan of your tires. New cars have the proper tire pressure listed on a sticker inside the driver’s door.

Remember, if you tend to leave your car in the garage for a long time, you should always check the tire pressure before using it again.

8. Replace the headlight bulb yourself

You don’t need to waste a small fortune to replace your broken headlight bulb. Most mechanics overcharge for this service that is actually very simple and in most cases can be done in 5 minutes by literally anyone.

Just look it up on youtube and you will certainly find someone teaching how to change the headlight lamp in a car model similar to yours. That way, you just have to buy the lamp and install it yourself. Be aware that replacing an LED or HID light is much more expensive than replacing a halogen one.

Likewise, if you have to refill the screenwash… DIY! These little maintenance jobs are so easy to do that there is no reason to spend money unnecessarily and pay someone else to do them for you.
