A car is a big investment. When you buy one, it’s natural to want to protect your purchase and make sure that it lasts as long as possible. The best way to do this is by taking care of the vehicle and doing routine maintenance on it regularly. However, there are some simple things that you can do which will extend the life of your car even further! In this blog post, we’ll discuss a few of the easy ways for you to do just that! then the full discussion will be in my podcast
-First things first, it is important to keep certain things checked in your car, mostly in the morning before driving to wherever you wish.
But most people believe it’s the job of their mechanics to do this which is fatly wrong!
You don’t need to be a mechanic to save your car from always getting damaged which will always cost you thousands of naira.
The most amazing part of this homework or task is that it’s very easy. You need strength to do them, both old and young can do them. I’ve been doing these things since I was a little boy, thanks to my father.
He would ask me to wash his car every morning and make sure I carry out these easy operations. Though I always thought he was too harsh and maybe his discipline on me was too much but got to realize he was only grooming me to save myself from future frustration and loss.
This homework or task I’ve been doing for the past decade to date is what I am going to share with you today.
I told you it’s not something we can discuss in my WhatsApp status, it’s something that can only be discussed in my blog or podcast. which is what we are diving into right now.
The easiest homework or task to extend the life of your car like professional consists of;
Check your radiator water level in the morning:
It is compulsory that you check your car’s radiator water level every morning. This is something some people know but still ignore and believe their mechanic should be the one to check it for them.
Well, it’s true that your mechanic should do this but do you expect him to come to your house every day or sleep in your house so that he can be checking your radiator every day? The only job he has here is for him to educate you, and let you know that there are things you should always do to keep you safe and save your money every time. I do this all my life, won’t say I took after my father because he’s also a mechanic. No! I do this because I know it’s the right thing to do. So I hope you do the same too.
I’ve seen several scenes where motorists fight their mechanic for some very weird issues their car develops. I laugh at both of them and sometimes I just pity them both… And why do i laugh or pity them every time? It’s because neither of
them knows what I’m telling you now
Yes, he didn’t tell you this and he probably even doesn’t know he’s supposed to tell you. See, it may not be funny but I find it funny.
So, listen- I won’t say you should fight your mechanic after I let you know this simple homework are. I have a few on my list but there is still more though. But just digest these ones for now, till another day when you’ll go deeper. it’s a deep topic. I can’t type it all that’s why I decided to launch a podcast channel so you can get more insights about what I tell you guys.
You can’t imagine waking up in the morning and don’t brush, you don’t eat, take a bath or even use the drugs you are supposed to use in the morning. Then you expect your health not to be at risk it’s the same with your car. Your car is at high risk
of having its engine knock or more.
that’s why you need to do this homework to save your ass.
The second homework on the list is ;
Check engine oil level
This is one here is the craziest part that causes trouble a lot between mechanics and their customers, and you could be in those peoples shoes if you don’t do the necessary, keep waiting for your mechanic to come and check your engine oil level for you every day, then when anything happens to your engine, grab the mechanic by the neck to explain why it happened. Ah ah ah ah ah!!!
Listen, not checking your engine oil level regularly is almost the same thing as driving a dying car… Come on, just imagine how frustrated you will be when you’re driving to a serious event then your car breaks down. on the road. Then after the diagnosis of the mechanic, they find out your engine has knocked. So will you fight your mechanic and blame him for your knocked engine?
Now, you see why you should check your engine oil every morning. It’s not for anyone’s sake but for yours, except you like spending and wasting your time roaming around the mechanic workshop.
I won’t talk too much, so you won’t say I’m supporting mechanics because I’m also a mechanic. Whatever!
The third homework;
Check your break fluids (break oil level)
If you intend to live long and not die very soon, then you don’t want to forget to check your brake fluid level every goddamn morning!
Sorry, if I’m rude but I just can’t help myself. Your life is also important to me., see, apart from the fact that you could die when there is a shortage of brake fluid in your car, you could end up running someone over and kill them, you might go to jail, you could even. Get crippled, which can sometimes be worse than death. I’m not trying to scare you. Just telling what you should know. Anyway, let’s go to the next one…
Which is the fourth one right?
Check your tire pressure:
Won’t talk much about this but your tires should be ignored just because they are called tires or because they look like they don’t need any attention doesn’t mean you can’t get killed by them. But it’s not the tire’s fault that they are bad, it’s your fault for not being observant to have detected them.
Let’s just go to the next one, I don’t have much time.
The Fifth one is the last for today, which is also important. And this one keeps your car looking clean and new., that is;
Wash and wax your car:
I’m sure after hearing this, you might want to wash your car every day. Though I may not recommend everyday wash for your car my dad and I wash his car every blessed day.
Now, why do you need to do a regular car wash for your car? It’s not just because you need to keep it clean. No! That’s not why. Do you know that washing your car regularly maintains the paint and beauty of the car? I’m not even talking based on what I heard from someone or checked on Google. All I blog about and post about on my WhatsApp status are not all from research, they are from pure experiences that I have had.
I don’t like talking about facts that I’m not sure of or haven’t experimented with yet because it could be false, and I’ll be misleading you by doing so.
Washing my dad’s car for years made me realize that. Even though it’s true according to research. But I’m also confirming it by my experiment, I’m a practical guy.
And for the wax, waxing your car helps remove small scratches from your car paint that is not deep yet. So, washing helps keep the paint shiny and Clean while waxing does both shining and keeping scratches away.
And that will be all for today’s episode. Next Saturday, I will be
