Annual Vehicle Inspection - Maintenance


by DoItYourself Staff

Ten Good Reasons To Invest In An Annual Car "Physical" And Needed Maintenance 

  1. Cut repair costs. Discovering a worn component before it creates major problems can save big money. 
  2. Safety. A poorly maintained vehicle can drive you into a serious accident,
  3. Better performance. This translates to improved fuel economy as well as "drivability". 
  4. Saving the environment. Under maintained vehicles are a serious contributor to air pollution. 
  5. Improved trade-in/resale value. A well maintained vehicle can be worth 2-3 times as much as one that's been neglected. 
  6. Better handling. Incorrect wheel alignment, worn suspension components and/or tires cause poor ride and handling. 
  7. Ability to plan ahead. When a checkup indicates future need for replacement of a part you can budget accordingly. 
  8. Dependability. A well maintained vehicle is less likely to stall, fail to start or otherwise leave you stranded. 
  9. Driving enjoyment. It's more comfortable and more fun to drive a car that holds the road and rides well. 
  10. Pride of ownership. It's said that your car is an extension of your personality. Keep it looking like you care.
