Toco Provides Top 10 Tips for Car Maintenance


STUDIO CITY, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

During Car Care month, Toco Warranty Corp., a company dedicated to selling vehicle service contracts directly to consumers, released a new infographic containing a car maintenance checklist that offers suggestions for how drivers can help keep their cars in good working order. Toco's new infographic is available at: http://www.tocowarranty.com/TocoCares/Media/#EssentialTipsForMaintenance.

"If you've ever had a car break down - as most of us have - you know how frustrating it can be, and how much time and moneycan be spent to get you back on the road. That's why we felt Car Care Month was the perfect time to remind car owners of a few general tips to help keep them informed and help keep their cars running well," said Toco's Operation Director George Laird.



Included on the checklist are:

  • Wash your car on a regular basis to help prevent road salt and grime from building up on the underside of the vehicle.
  • Change the oil as often as recommended by the manufacturer- usually every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Check other fluids, as well.
  • Check the battery and make sure the battery terminals are clean.
  • Check that the wheel bearings are clean and engine belts are in good shape.
  • Replace the car's coolant and be sure the whole system is flushed out once a year.

Drivers are also reminded to consult their owner's manual for specific recommendations, and to contact a licensed repair facility if they need help with car maintenance or repairs.
