Be Earth-Friendly: Get Your Car Serviced Regularly
Summary
Regular vehicle maintenance, along with smart driving habits, can help the environment and save you money. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) offers expert tips to make this easier.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
Well-maintained vehicles generate less pollution, last longer, and have higher resale values. Here's how you can be a more environmentally conscious car owner:
Tips for Eco-Friendly Car Maintenance
- Optimize Engine Performance: A misfiring spark plug can cut fuel efficiency by up to 30%. Regularly replacing filters and fluids according to your owner's manual will keep your engine in top shape.
- Tire Care: Keep tires properly inflated and aligned to minimize engine effort and fuel consumption.
- Choose the Right Technician: Seek recommendations or check with local consumer groups for reputable repair shops. Ensure technicians are ASE-certified, meaning they've passed national exams in specialties like engine performance and air conditioning.
- Handle Refrigerants with Care: Only allow certified technicians to service your vehicle's air conditioner, especially older models that use ozone-depleting chemicals.
Driving Habits That Help
- Drive Sensibly: Avoid speeding and sudden accelerations to conserve fuel.
- Limit Engine Idling: Turn off your engine while waiting to save fuel.
- Plan Your Drives: Combine errands to reduce unnecessary trips.
- Lighten Your Load: Remove excess items and rooftop carriers when not in use to improve gas mileage.
