What is Car Maintenance?

By

Car maintenance is maintaining and caring for your vehicle to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. It involves regular inspections, repairs, and replacements of parts. Proper car maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, safety, and resale value. It can also help to reduce harmful emissions and protect the environment.

Why is Car Maintenance Important?

Car maintenance is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it can help prevent costly repairs and breakdowns. When you regularly maintain your vehicle, you can identify and fix potential problems before they cause considerable damage. As a result, this can save you a lot of money in the long run.

Another benefit of car maintenance is enhanced performance. Your car will run smoothly and efficiently when its components work as they should. This results in improved fuel economy and an overall better driving experience.

Furthermore, car maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s safety. Proper vehicle maintenance ensures safety on the road to protect your passengers and yourself from injury.

Finally, car maintenance can help reduce your vehicle’s environmental impact. When your vehicle is running efficiently, it will produce fewer emissions. Fewer emissions mean reduced carbon footprint and improved air quality.

What are the Most Important Car Maintenance Tasks?

The importance of car maintenance tasks varies depending on the make and model of your vehicle. However, there are some general tasks that all car owners should perform regularly. These include:

  • Oil changes: Oil is essential for keeping your engine running smoothly and preventing wear and tear. It is important to change your oil regularly, according to your manufacturer’s recommendations.
  • Tyre rotations: Tyre rotations help ensure that your tyres wear evenly. This rotation subsequently extends their lifespan and improves your vehicle’s handling. Rotate your tyres every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometres.
  • Brake inspections: It is crucial to prioritise brake safety by scheduling regular checks with a qualified mechanic.
  • Air filter replacement: The air filter prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine and should be replaced every 19,000 to 24,000 kilometres.
  • Fluid checks: Regularly check coolant, windscreen wiper and power steering fluid.

How to Keep Up with Schedule

The most effective method to ensure proper car maintenance is following the manufacturer’s recommendations. This schedule outlines the frequency of essential vehicle maintenance tasks. You can locate your vehicle’s maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual.

In addition to following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule, there are a few other things you can do to keep up with vehicle maintenance:

  • Be proactive: Be proactive and take your vehicle in for regular maintenance. Do not wait until there is a problem.
  • Choose a qualified mechanic: When you need to have your vehicle serviced, choose a qualified mechanic who works with your car’s make and model.
  • Keep records: Record and track your vehicle’s maintenance work to stay on top of your maintenance schedule and identify potential problems early on.

Regular car maintenance is essential in ensuring your vehicle operates smoothly and efficiently. It not only enhances its performance and safety but also helps to retain its resale value and reduce its environmental impact. In closing, you must adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule and take a proactive approach to achieve this.

Fuel Saver Tips! Maximize your fuel economy

By

We all dread the announcement of fuel price hikes and feel the pinch in our pockets, but there are a few things we could do to stretch our fuel economy so we can get the most bang for our buck! The improvement of gas mileage will help our vehicles function optimally and improve our vehicles’ fuel efficiency.

Fuel saving tip for best fuel economy

Here are some fuel saving tips that will help you get the most out of your trip to the gas station:

  • Do not park your car in the sun! Due to evaporation from the sun, this can cause your vehicles fuel level to gradually decrease.
  • Keep your engine healthy. It is said that engine care can significantly boost your gas mileage and reduce fuel consumption, however, if for example something like a spark plug misfire happens to your vehicle, this can increase fuel consumption by 30%
    • Save
    A green metal license plate with words Save Fuel illustrating the importance of gas savings and finding alternative power sources for transportation
  • Do not slam the brakes! When you unnecessarily slam the brakes, you waste energy and use up extra fuel. Always bear in mind that repeated braking uses up energy.
  • Clean your air filter. Choked air filters make your engine struggle to breathe and is one of the causes of poor fuel consumption.
  • Tyre Pressure plays a vital role in ensuring you maximize your fuel economy. Make sure your tyres are adequately inflated. Reports show that under inflation of the tyre by 25% can cause a 5% increase in fuel consumption and a 25% decrease in tyre life span!

Winter Survival Guide

By

Safety is our Priority during this winter time

As we all feel the chilly bite of winter, so do our vehicles! Like a human body, the cold weather is also tough on our cars. Bakkies and SUV’s. If you are on the roads during the winter season – best you have everything in working order so your vehicle does not give you any unnecessary trouble, which most of the time can be avoided.

Think about it, if your vehicle had to stall out in the middle of nowhere during a stormy night, would you be prepared?

Winter Survival Tips

Here are some winter survival guidelines to ensure you don’t get stuck in the mud (literally)

  • Keep jumper cables on hand – You never know when you will need these! So, it’s best you keep them in your car and not laying around in your garage.
  • Fuel Up – Always ensure your gas is at least at the halfway mark because if your gas is close to being empty, this makes it susceptible to condensation which will prevent your car from starting.
  • Check your tires – An underinflated tire is prone to a blowout, which is a tear in the tire that results in rapid air loss. On the positive side, having tires adequately inflated will minimize your trips to the fuel station.
  • Windscreen Check – Make sure your current wipers aren’t streaking your windshield! Wiper blades being replaced is the difference between safe visibility and a possible accident, all because you were not able to see through the vehicle windshield.
  • Check your car battery – Temperature often influences your vehicle’s battery performance. If you have tried charging your car battery and it cannot hold a charge, you need to bring it to CMH Mahindra Durban, and our technicians will gladly assist you.
Promise to you

We at CMH Mahindra Durban use only genuine parts and manufacturer recommended oils for our vehicles. Our trained technicians are here to ensure your vehicle is repaired right the first time! Visit us at 901 Umgeni Rd or call us on 0313130800 or browse online at www.cmhmahindra.co.za

Safer drives and Safer lives!

Mahindra and Arrive Alive Partnership

Mahindra and Arrive Alive have partnered to bring awareness around road safety and responsible driving to all drivers across South Africa.

The key focus of the campaign is to educate and inform drivers on the importance of vehicle safety equipment, something many drivers tend to overlook. Mahindra has been given an award for achieving the highest crash-test score for a vehicle in the country.

GNCAP gave the XUV300 a full five-star vehicle safety rating in South Africa, making it one of the safest vehicles ever tested for the South African automotive market and ranked first on its #SaferCarsForAfrica ranking.

We know too well that the accident fatality rate on our South African roads has risen steadily over the years. Most of the time, the safety features of the vehicle are brushed aside, and more concentration is given to aesthetic and performance features.

In a bid to create safer roads, Mahindra and Arrive Alive have executed this excellent campaign, elements of the campaign will also include a demonstration on passive safety equipment like ISOFIX anchor points for child seats, airbags and side-impact bars and dynamic safety equipment like ABS brakes with the electronic brake-force distribution.

Come through and visit us at 901 Umgeni Road and our sales executives will take you on a tour of the XUV300 and explain to you the key safety features before you make your purchase decision, or call us on 0878133881, alternatively, browse our selection of vehicles online at www.cmhmahindra.co.za
