Here in the Philippines, our dealers usually remind us when our cars are already due for maintenance. However, we shouldn’t always rely on this reminder to make sure that our cars are in good condition. After all, who better to check on the cars than those who use it, right? We recommend checking on the cars’ condition yourself using this list at least one month.
Check if your tire’s pressure is in the normal range. If it isn’t anymore, time to head on to a gas station and use their facilities to add air on your tire.
Make sure to always be ready and bring your very own tire pressure gauage.
