You’ve taken the plunge and brought home your shiny new car. It’s a thing of beauty which you’ll be admiring every time you see it. You’ll likely be hearing advice from friends and neighbors who stop by to see your new ride.
A little care goes a long way.
Performing simple preventative maintenance on your vehicle will go a long way toward protecting your vehicle investment, Here are a few tips from Novato Chevrolet to take care of your new vehicle.
Brakes
New brake pads on new brake rotors don’t really require a break-in procedure. The texture deliberately left on the surface of the iron discs will grind down the fresh surface of the pad material within a few miles. Even so, refrain from high-speed stops or dragging the brakes for a few hundred miles.
Oil
Change the oil regularly as soon as 3000 miles.
Interior
A generous dousing of Scotchgard or a similar protectant on the cloth upholstery and carpets will keep dirt, pollen and mildew from clinging.
Exterior
Protect the paint surface from harsh environmental elements and prevent premature aging with a car wax, paint protectant or paint sealant.
