Your car is one of the biggest investments most people will make, so you'll want to get as many miles out of it as possible. Fort Mitchell Garage, with more than a century of experience providing expert car repairs to Covington, KY drivers, has some tips for increasing the longevity of your vehicle:

• Regular Oil Changes: This is the most important thing you can do when it comes to making your car last as long as possible. Keeping your oil changed according to the manufacturer's recommendations will prevent most major problems before they occur.
• Checking The Timing Belt: When a timing belt breaks, it can cause serious damage to your engine, cutting into its lifespan. Most manufacturers recommend changing the timing belt ever 60,000 miles.

• Driving Carefully: How you handle your vehicle is another major factor determining how long it would last. Driving hard puts extra wear and tear on every part of your vehicle, from the engine to the tires.
• Avoiding Accidents: Taking a little extra care during inclement weather can prevent accidents that can put your car in the salvage yard. In icy or snowy conditions, allow more space between you and other vehicles, drive slowly, and don't accelerate around turns.
