Properly maintained vehicles are not only safer and more reliable they are better for the planet! Regular vehicle inspections not only ensure safety but also play a crucial role in making our vehicles more environmentally friendly.
Here are 3 ways that a regularly inspected vehicle helps our environment:
Optimizing Fuel Efficiency
Routine maintenance, such as checking tire pressure and changing air filters, improves gas millage. Vehicles that have proper fluid maintenance of essential fluids like engine oil and transmission fluid contribute to improved efficiency, reducing fuel consumption. This not only helps with your bank account, it helps the environment too!
Decreased Emissions
A vehicle that is over due for many preventative maintenance services will make more emissions. For example, if your vehicle is over due for its spark plug change you are less likely to have complete combustion and the vehicle is making more emissions. Especially if your vehicle has a check engine light on you are probably making more emissions than your vehicle should. Properly maintained vehicles make less emissions.
Reduced Manufacturing Impact
A large part of the environmental impact associated with your vehicle is made during the manufacturing process. Well-maintained vehicles tend to have a longer lifespan, reducing the frequency of new purchases and, consequently, lessening the overall carbon footprint of the automotive industry.
