As a car owner, it’s important for you to understand how to properly maintain your vehicle, especially as time goes by. Regular maintenance can prolong the life of your car, improve its performance, and save you money in the long run.
However, although regular trips to the car shop can be out of budget for many, people are still intimidated by the idea of doing these tasks on their own. The truth is, basic car maintenance tasks are simple and easy to perform with a little bit of know-how.
In this blog post, we’ll cover the essential car maintenance tasks that every car owner should know. We’ll walk you through the steps needed to keep your car running smoothly. So grab your toolbox and let’s get started!
Â
Oil Changes
How often should you do it? It’s recommended to change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on your vehicle and driving habits.
Â
Brake maintenance
How often should you do it? Brake maintenance is recommended every 6 months. Brake pads should be replaced every 25,000 to 65,000 miles, while rotors should be changed anywhere from 30,000 to 70,000 miles.
Â
Air filter maintenance
How often should you do it? Air filters should be checked every 15,000 miles, or more often if you live in an area with dusty roads and pollution.

Car fluid checks
How often should you do it? Every single one of these fluids will have different changing times, so keep an eye out regularly.
