At Cavender Subaru of Norman, we want to help our customers get the most out of their vehicles. That's why we're highlighting three common driving habits that can negatively impact your car's performance and longevity. By being aware of these behaviors and making some simple changes, you can keep your car running smoothly for years to come.
1. Riding the Brakes
Over time, this can lead to reduced braking performance and the need for more frequent brake repairs. Instead, try to brake smoothly and only when necessary.
2. Revving a Cold Engine
Revving a cold engine can cause added wear and tear. Let your car idle for a minute or two before driving off gently.
3. Ignoring Warning Lights
Continuing to drive with a warning light illuminated, like the check engine light, can exacerbate problems and lead to costlier repairs down the line. If a warning light comes on, it's best to get it checked out promptly.
By avoiding these common detrimental driving habits, you can help extend the life of your vehicle. If you have any concerns about your car's performance, the knowledgeable service team at Cavender Subaru of Norman is here to assist you.
