3 Things To NEVER Do To Your Car

While we may share many tips and tricks to keeping your car in the best shape possible, we’re here to share a few things you should NEVER do to your car if you’re trying to preserve its value. Here’s what our team at C&G Auto & Truck in Myrtle Beach, SC has put together. 

Over Inflate Your Tires 

You might have heard someone on the internet say they were able to increase their gas mileage by overfilling their tires with air to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall of their tires. This is dangerous and can lead to premature wear on your tires along with a list of other potential problems that could occur.

Ignoring Your Low Oil Pressure Light

If you notice this light pop up on your dashboard, you need to pull over. This light is indicating that your car is extremely low on oil or it could be completely out. When you ignore this light and continue driving, it’s like a death sentence to your engine and can end up costing you thousands. If you see this light, pull over, check your oil level, and give our team a call!

Don’t Wait Till Your Tank Is Empty To Fill Up

We understand there are exceptions to this rule. You should know that even the cleanest gas contains small particles that can sink to the bottom of your tank. Driving around with the gas light on can cause these small particles to be sucked into the engine slowly causing damage that can end up costing you. We suggest filling up when you have about a quarter of a tank left. 

Overall, these are just three things we suggest you NEVER do to your car. If you’re in need of a diagnosis or repair, give our trusted technicians at C&G Auto & Truck in Myrtle Beach, SC a call! We’ll get you back on the road ASAP!
