When the car is new everyone drives with care and pampers it like a new born baby; Then what happens after the first 60,000 miles? Being considerate shouldn’t stop after the break-in. Drive carefully consistently and your auto will reward you with longer intervals between repairs. This is how to do is and it’s easy:

- Accelerate gradually when you start your drive. The greatest wear to the engine and drive train happens in the initial ten to twenty minutes of operation.

- Put less strain on your engine and automatic transmission shift to neutral at red lights. Otherwise, the engine is still attempting to move the car forward even with your foot on the brakes.
- Avoid driving at high speeds and accelerating rapidly, particularly when it’s extremely hot or extremely cold outside. Such driving behavior will bring about continuous repairs.
- Extend the life of your tires with watchful driving. Watch for recommended speed limits. Avoid fast starts, stops, and turns. Avoid potholes and obstacles. Don’t run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking. And, of course, don’t burn rubber.
- When turning your steering wheel, don’t hold it in extreme right or left position for more than a few moments. Doing so may break the power-steering pump.
- Consolidate your short trips. The majority of the wear and tear and additionally the emissions your car produces – happens in the first few of minutes of driving. Doing a few errands consolidated trips during low traffic hours if possible, will keep your engine healthier for longer.
