When you buy a new car, you know that you will be able to rely on it for many years. The same, however, may not be true of a pre-owned model.
Fortunately, thanks in part to advancements in production, modern vehicles last a very long time. This is especially true for luxury models, like our pre-owned Cadillac models at Fields Cadillac St. Augustine. Of course, as a car owner, you play a role in the longevity of your vehicle, and you can make it last longer with these tips.
Don’t Put Off Service
The worst thing you can do for your car is ignoring its service schedule. Routine maintenance is vital for keeping your vehicle healthy and running as it should. Important tasks include oil and filter changes, brake and battery checks, and tire rotations.
Take Care of Any Issues
Are your brakes squeaking? Is your Cadillac car pulling to one side or another? These minor issues could turn into something major if you don’t get them checked out. Plus, in addition to costing you more money, these problems could affect other parts and systems as well.
Be a Better Driver
While any Cadillac is certainly fun to drive, you can’t zoom around town like you’re a racecar driver. Aside from being dangerous and putting you at risk for an accident, poor driving – like taking quick turns that make your tires squeal – puts extra strain on your vehicle, which could reduce its lifespan.
Fields Cadillac St. Augustine wants your vehicle to last as long as possible. Even if you don’t buy a pre-owned Cadillac from us, our service center will help keep it in tip-top shape. Get in touch to make an appointment!
