How to Get the Most Out of Your Vehicle
There are several things you can do to maintain the optimal performance of your vehicle and extend its lifespan. For example, you can reduce the amount of short driving trips you take to reduce engine wear, make sure the vehicle is cleaned regularly, don’t overwork your transmission, and ensure fuel and oil levels are checked frequently. Most importantly, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced by professional mechanics periodically – at least once per year. The team at GOODYEAR AUTOCARE can provide logbook and general servicing.
Essential Towing Tips
Whether you are towing a trailer for work, a boat for a weekend getaway, or a caravan, there are several towing tips that should be followed to maximise safety. Firstly, it is important to check your coupling – making sure it is properly connected. You should also ensure the handbrake is released and that all gas cylinders are switched off before travelling. While towing your load, it’s important to keep a good distance from other vehicles – especially on narrower roads. You should also take the widest route around corners to minimise the risk of damage to your load.
