Over the years I have learned little tips and tricks from mechanics and friends on how to make my car last longer and run better.
And every time someone who really knows what they’re talking about when it comes to cars starts preaching, I hear…
And here is more knowledge for me and for you!
The video below comes to us from an auto shop in Colorado called Accurate Automotive and the mechanics that work there were kind enough to share their thoughts on common maintenance mistakes people make when it comes to their cars.
The person behind the camera asked the mechanics, “What are some common mistakes in car maintenance?”
The first worker said, “If oil changes are taking too long, changes are well over 5,000 miles, or they don’t think an engine failure is as serious as it is.”
The second mechanic responded, “Not performing maintenance or skipping it will definitely cost you dearly in the long run.”
A third worker said: “Driving with low oil and skipping recommended maintenance.”
Another responded: “Not double checking fluid types.”
The next employee responded, “You think the spark plugs need to be changed because you feel a hesitation or something. Take it to a mechanic who knows what he’s doing. He’ll tell you what it is.”
The last mechanic said, “You’re waiting too long to change your oil” and “you’re letting your brakes bang metal on metal.”
Thanks for the input!
Look at the video.
