Just like you, your vehicle needs to be healthy. Car maintenance involves a lot of things, but it can be simple. 

One of the most important things you need to check is car fluids. Different fluids need to be checked to ensure  the car doesn't overheat and overall maintain vehicle health. This should be checked once a month or whenever you fill up your gas tank.This one is arguably the most important car maintenance job because if the car overheats without the right fluid, there will be damage, and you will have to pay a lot of money to get it fixed.

Next up: tires. If you check on your tires and notice the tread depth is not very deep, there are cracks on the sides of the tire, or you can look at the tire and tell it has become very aged, you need to fix it. These aged, bare, cracked tires must be replaced. When your tires are good, you still need to check on  them to maintain the pressure and keep them in good condition. If you don’t care for your tires, they could pop. When a tire pops, it makes a lot of noise while you are driving like thumping and rattling. At this point, you will definitely have to get a tire change for your no-good tires. 

Finally, you always need to make sure your break lights are working. If your break lights are out and you are coming to a stop, you could get hit from the back while driving. Other drivers won’t know your light is out, and they may not notice you are stopping or slowing down. To check this, have one person stand outside, behind the car and another inside the car to press on the break. If the lights do not turn on when the person inside presses the brake, it’s time to change the lights. 

Keep your car healthy so you can get where you need to go.
