Cars in the UAE live in tough conditions. The heat is high and dust is present on most days of the year. Therefore, the team at Jordan Car Inspection Center in Sharjah has gathered the most important car maintenance tips to protect your car and extend its life. They are simple tips that any driver can apply.
Regular servicing is the foundation of car maintenance
Real care starts with sticking to the service schedule. Postponing routine service also turns small faults into expensive repairs. Therefore, focus on the following points:
- Change the oil regularly: Stick to the interval the manufacturer recommends, because clean oil protects the engine parts from friction.
- Check and replace the filters: The air filter and the oil filter stop dust and impurities from reaching the engine.
- Cooling system: Check the coolant level and make sure there are no leaks, especially before summer.
- Tyres: Monitor the pressure and wear every month, and replace a tyre when cracks appear.
- Brakes: Replace the brake pads when needed and never ignore any grinding noise.
Sensible driving extends your car’s life
Your driving style affects the car as much as servicing does. For example, high speed increases fuel consumption and speeds up the wear of parts. In addition, driving on rough roads puts more strain on the suspension system.
On the other hand, overloading stresses the engine, brakes and tyres all at once. Therefore, distribute the load wisely, and avoid sudden acceleration and braking as much as possible.
Caring for the exterior and interior
The strong sun in the UAE wears down the paint and the cabin over time. Therefore, wash your car regularly to remove dust and salts, and then use wax to protect the paint.
Also, clean the cabin to keep its appearance and its resale value. If the car is parked outside, it is best to cover it or choose a shaded parking spot.
The battery is also affected by heat more than many drivers expect. Therefore, check its terminals and clean off any corrosion, and ask for a strength test before the summer months. In addition, check the AC performance early, because weak cooling may point to low refrigerant or a blocked filter.
