Careful Start

Just like you, your car likes to ease into the morning. First, make sure you start up your vehicle with the climate control, stereo, and headlights turned off.

Also, check your owner's manual for information on scheduling tire rotation, which can extend the life of the set of tires and allow even wear.

It's true that some particular models may stand up to a lack of maintenance better than others. Even so, when routine preventive maintenance is performed, these more durable vehicles will last longer and experience fewer costly breakdowns.
