Keep your gas tank mostly full at all times and it will stay in great shape!

When you step out of your apartment home in Tulsa and head towards your car, take a moment and pause. When was the last time you treated your car to a car wash, oil change or even checked the air pressure in your tires? April is National Car Care Month so keep your car running smoothly and safely by following some of these tips:

• Always check your fluids. Brake, oil, windshield wiper fluid…check them all on a very regular basis.
• Take your car in for a tune-up. Ideally you would do this twice a year to check that everything is running correctly. If you cannot afford twice a year, at least take it in once a year.
• Check your tires. Your tires keep you safe. You will get optimal fuel economy if you keep them the right pressure as well. Refer to your owner’s manual for the right tire pressure.

If you need to hit an auto store try O’Reilly or AutoZone for the parts you may need. Your apartment home in Tulsa is close to an auto store so treat your car right this month and for the rest of the year so you can stay safe!
