Engine Seizures
There are many potential causes for an engine seizure, but no matter why the engine has seized, this isn’t good news. A vehicle with a seized engine is typically considered totaled since the cost of replacing the engine is more than the car's value. Thankfully, there are simple steps you can take to protect your engine from seizing, most importantly, oil changes. Oil helps to cool and lubricate your vehicle’s engine, which reduces the risk of overheating and keeps parts from grinding together and becoming damaged.
Brake Damage
The braking system is complex and has many components, all of which work together to help your vehicle stop quickly. However, when those parts aren’t properly cared for, they can wear down surrounding parts and systems and may even require an entire braking system repair or replacement down the line. Make sure you change the brake pads as needed to reduce the risk of grinding or long-term damage.
Alignment and Suspension Wear
One of the best ways to protect your vehicle’s alignment and suspension systems is by taking good care of your tires. Make sure to rotate them regularly to keep them wearing down at an even rate. This reduces excess pressure on one part of the alignment or suspension, and will also let you know if there are any signs of misalignment or suspension damage below the surface.
