💡 5 Pro Tips from the Chandler Motor Company Team
🛞 1. Check Tyre Pressure Weekly
Low pressure = more fuel consumption and faster tyre wear. Keep tyres at the recommended PSI (we’ll show you how).
🛢️ 2. Don’t Skip Your Air Filter Change
Dirty air filters reduce performance. We recommend a replacement every 12,000–15,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions.
🛑 3. Watch for Brake Fluid Colour
Brown = bad. Brake fluid should be clear to light yellow. If not, time for a flush.
🔋 4. Clean Battery Terminals Every 6 Months
Corrosion is a silent killer. Keep those terminals clean and your car will thank you—especially in cold weather.
🧼 5. Clean Underneath the Car, Too
Especially in winter! Salt and grime buildup can corrode the underbody and suspension. Pressure wash beneath your vehicle every few weeks.
