General Hints and Tips for looking after your car:

GENERAL CHECKS
Do a weekly check on oil, water and coolant levels to make sure the car runs smoothly.
Important: Ensure these checks are done before heading out on a long journey.

Ensure your car tyre pressures are correct for optimum safety and performance. Low pressure tyres give a lot of drag, poor control and wear out quickly. Get your car tyre pressures here: tyresafe.org

OIL
If your topping your car up with oil on a regular basis, a bit too often could actually be an oil leak. Speak to a car mechanic to get some advice if your unsure.
