Properly maintaining your car is key to keeping it in tip-top condition. It ensures your safety, the safety of your passengers and your fellow drivers. Plus, maintaining your car regularly works out cheaper in the long run.

Here are some ways to help keep your car running smoothly:

• Inspect and Maintain Tires - knowing how to maintain your car’s tire pressure can help reduce wear on the tires, helps ensure you’re getting good gas mileage and keeps you safe (a flat tire is a hazard that can be dangerous to you and your car).
• Check the Fluids - there are several fluids that should be kept at the appropriate levels to help keep your car running properly (engine oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid and coolant). A leak with any of these fluids can affect the way your car drives.
• Change the Oil - routinely checking and changing your car’s oil is essential to keeping its engine in running condition. Check your oil each month and change it as directed.
• Replace Windshield Wipers - if your wipers aren’t working like they used to, don’t let the problem linger. Damaged or worn-out blades can reduce visibility during heavy rain or a snowstorm.
• Test the Lights - a broken or burnt-out bulb is a safety hazard and might get you a ticket. Headlights are also key safety lights on your car. Consider taking a few extra steps to help keep them shining bright, such as cleaning the lenses and replacing bulbs as they start to dim.
• Change Your Engine Air Filter - dirty engine air filter can allow dirt and other particulates into your car’s engine and reduce its efficiency. Inspect your car’s air filter once a year and replace it as needed.
• Regular Checkups - some routine car care tasks can be done at home, but others require trained technicians. Take your car to a technician if the check engine light comes on.
• Wash Your Car - your car is subjected to all sorts of elements, from road salt and ice melt in the winter to tree sap and bird droppings in the summer. Some of these hazards are not only unsightly but can cause damage to paint and the undercarriage. Keeping your car clean may help prevent long-term damage.
• Have Your Brakes Checked - your car’s brake pads also require regular inspection. While driving, listen for any brake noise and pay attention to shuddering or vibrating from the brake pedal. If any concerns arise, consult a service centre as soon as possible.
• Check Belts and Hoses - keeping your car’s belts and hoses in good shape can help keep your car running and may help you avoid a breakdown on the road. Having your belts and hoses checked at every oil change will help ensure that they’re in good condition and don’t need replacing.

Should you choose to shop from the comfort of your home online, here are some tips and tricks to make sure you shop safely, securely and smartly:

• Shop with trusted online retailers or do thorough research before making purchases from unknown retailer sites.
• Never provide your credit card information if you do not see the ‘padlock’ on the upper left-hand side of your address bar, or if the address begins with “http://” instead of “https://”.

• Keep your information private. If the retailer asks for too much information such as your birth-date and social security numbers, do not complete the transaction.
• After shopping online, it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on all your banking statements, checking them weekly rather than by the month, just in case something slipped to a hacker. Notify your cardholder service if there are any discrepancies immediately.
• Maintain good virus protection on your computer to prevent spyware and other hacks from accessing your information. Many trusted anti-virus services are available online for free so you can take advantage of convenient online shopping.
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi to do your shopping, rather use secure connections.
• Be cautious of unsolicited emails and pop-up internet adverts with too-good-to-be-true offers. Use caution when a deal is drastically better than others and always double-check before clicking on ads.
