Step 1
Keep your car clean and free from dust. Wash it weekly with a soft cloth and light detergent. Wax the car once every 2 months so it retains its shine and luster.
-
Step 2
Inspect the transmission fluid and brake oil levels every week. For a thorough inspection, take your car to a reputable service station after every 50,000 miles.
-
Step 3
Change the car's oil every 3,000 miles. When the meter displays 60,000 miles, replace the spark plugs, fuel injector and timing belt.
-
Step 4
Follow the manufacturer's guidelines and get the tires rotated every 6,000 miles. Replace the tires if they are worn or have any tears. Take the car to a mechanic every 12,000 miles to check the alignment and balance.
-
Step 5
Replace the car's radiator coolant every two years or 40,000 miles to avoid unnecessary engine heat-up. Repair any leakage in the radiator, water pump and freeze plugs.

Step 6
Maintain the interior. Take your car to a trim shop to replace worn or dirty carpet. Replace any torn upholstery or interior components.
