A car is a valuable investment; you don’t go through life buying a new car whenever the old one begins to show signs of deterioration which, most of the time, is your fault for omitting the basic maintenance rules in a timely manner. Keep in mind that a well-maintained vehicle has a higher resale price and saves you money on unnecessary repairs. In order to prolong the life of your vehicle and make sure it works at its best, follow this easy car maintenance schedule:
