Preventative Maintenance for a Safe Car

Safety devices installed on your vehicle can lower your car insurance costs by preventing accidents or reducing the tragedy of a potentially seriousness accident. All the more, if you are involved in an accident, driving a safe car can make the difference between a minor mishap and a life-threatening catastrophe. While lower car insurance quotes are welcome, the safety of you and your car's occupants is foremost. Many accidents can be prevented by applying simple routine safety measures to assure your car is safe on the road.

Basic Car Maintenance

Preventative maintenance is crucial for keeping your vehicle road safe and can be performed in minutes. A well-maintained car will increase your vehicle performance, promote highway safety, reduce repair costs and keep car insurance rates down. Fortunately, you do not have to be an expert auto mechanic to perform basic maintenance on your car. Just applying a few simple checks at regular intervals and addressing issues in a timely manner will keep your car safe and sound.

Having an individual maintenance schedule to follow is the best way to remember to inspect your car regularly. Make it a monthly habit to check headlights, taillights and brake lights to make sure they are in working order. Inspect tires for uneven wear and low tire pressure. Under-inflated tires are dangerous and can lead to loss of control. Take a peek under the hood and top off fluid levels for transmission, brakes, oil, and coolant when necessary. Windshield wipers ought to be changed at least once every six months, and windshield fluid should be added regularly.

Probably the single most important preventative maintenance you can perform on your car is to make certain the oil and oil filter are changed regularly, usually recommended at 3,000 miles or three months.

Brakes should be inspected twice a year for wear and damage. A squealing noise while pressing the brake pedal could be a warning sign that it is time to check your brakes. If you wait until you hear a grinding noise, your brake pads have probably reached their life's end.

All of these basic functions can help prevent accidents or minimize the severity of an accident, thus preventing an increase in your car insurance rates.

Installed Safety Devices

Many car insurance companies offer reduced rates for features that minimize the risk of injury, such as airbags, automatic seatbelts, anti-lock brakes and daytime running lights. When things happen that are out of your control, the car's installed safety features may be your only defense against potential harm caused by an accident.

Additionally, installed anti-theft devices in your car will not only deter thieves, but you may qualify for discounts on your car insurance premium.
