Make sure you lubricate every required part of the engine and the rest of your vehicle regularly. Without proper grease to keep them moving, parts can seize up or rub against each other until they’re too worn to function.

Be sure to flush your brake system and replace the brake fluid annually. The fluid actually attracts moisture, and that can lead to corrosion forming within the brake system. Prevent this by regularly maintaining the system.

Take the time to clean and repack the bearings on the wheels using the correct grease according to the timeframe giving in your owner’s manual. It’s much easier and cheaper to do this than it is to replace the parts.

Watch where you park. By parking in the shade and putting up a sun screen in your windshield, you will help keep the interior of your car looking great. You may also want to put down a layer of UV protection over the vinyl and plastic on the interior to help keep it from developing cracks. Don’t forget to keep your car clean with a custom car cover — nothing leaves your car looking worse that garbage all over it!
