When you buy a used Honda car from Hall Honda Virginia Beach, there are certain ways you can ensure you will get plenty of use out of it. After all, the last thing you want is to have to start shopping for another vehicle after just a year or two of ownership.
Here at Hall Honda Virginia Beach, the team of friendly Honda mechanics at our Honda service center is happy to share their tips on how to extend the life of your used car.
Follow the Recommended Maintenance Schedule
In our opinion, the most useful action that you can take to extend the life of your car is to get it maintained on a regular schedule. In your owner’s manual, you’ll find your car's recommended maintenance schedule with intervals for services such as oil changes, tire rotations, and brake replacements. Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to costly repairs and shorten the useful life of your vehicle.
Don’t Ignore the Check Engine Light
It may be tempting to ignore the check engine light when it is illuminated, but doing so can lead to various issues with your vehicle’s operation. None of the issues causing the check engine light to turn on will go away on their own, so schedule an appointment with our service center if yours has turned on.
Pay Attention to the Way You Drive
Driving in an aggressive manner can cause your car to wear down faster than it should. This includes things like:
- Sudden stopping
- Quick acceleration
- Riding the brakes or clutch
- Frequent short trips
To schedule an appointment with our service center or to learn more tips, give our friendly mechanics a call or schedule online.
