Maintenance Tips For Hot Rods
Maintaining your hot rod can be different than the average vehicle, and even more so if they are a classic car. Since they are not used for everyday driving, keeping track of their mileage and maintenance may take a lot of work. These tips can help you keep your hot rod in tip-top shape.
- Drive your vehicle at least once a month.
- Change the brake fluid yearly, regardless of how often it is driven.
- Change the oil every three months.
- Check the tire pressure monthly and conduct a visual inspection of their condition.
- If your vehicle sits for long periods, wash and wax it to keep dust and bugs from sitting on and ruining the paint.
You should also be sure to bring your vehicle into Catalpa Street Garage LLC if you have yet to do so recently.
