Do you own a car? Most car owners often neglect some simple things only to end up stranded on the roads.
It is important to understand some basic repair and maintenance practices once you have purchased a car.
These are three crucial things to check while inspecting your car before driving out of your compound:
1. Obstruction
Never start your car until you confirm there is no obstruction on your way.
You are likely to run into a building or another car parked behind you.
Ensure you know where you are headed before driving the car from the garage.
2. Tyres
One of the gravest mistakes you can make is driving out of your compound without looking at the car tyres.
Make sure that the tyres are inflated before you leave your compound.
Flat tyres risk being damaged while you are on your way.
Examine all the tyres before you start the car from the garage.
If they are deflated, then seek help from a mechanic as soon as possible.
3. Level of fluids
Friction can damage your car. Always check the level of fluids in your car before you drive it.
Failure to check the fluids subjects the car to damage at the end of the day.
