dennis03+FollowCar Mechanics Say They Would Never Do These Things to Their Own Cars 🤔😮According to mechanics, there are some bad car habits they always avoid. I checked my own car and found I was damaging it 🙄 See if you've done any of these: 1️⃣ Use aftermarket parts. Cheaper parts might seem fine at first, but they can cause bigger, more expensive problems later. So never use them if OEM is available. 2️⃣ Using the wrong type of coolants or fuels. This can lead to strange issues that are costly to fix. So always stick to the fuel, coolant, and oil recommended by the manufacturer if you can. 3️⃣ For products that claim to stop leaks. Stay away from them. These are usually just temporary fixes and often cause more damage. 4️⃣ Modifying your car's exterior without considering climate -- For example, vinyl wraps can crack and peel quickly in sunny areas. 5️⃣ Car Mechanics would never layer a rubber floor mat that doesn’t fit properly on the driver’s side. It can jam the pedals and cause dangerous situations. I thought I was careful with my car... but now I realize I’ve done at least one of these. Have you made any of these mistakes? 😵 #CarCare #MechanicTips #AutoMaintenance #CarRepair #Cars 10825Share

Alexandria Simmons+FollowYour Parked Car’s Oil Is Aging—Here’s WhyThink your car’s oil is fine just because you haven’t driven in months? Not so fast! Even if your ride is parked, oil inside the engine quietly breaks down from moisture and temperature swings. That means you could be brewing up sludge and engine trouble without even turning the key. Pro tip: change your oil at least once a year, even for low-mileage cars. It’s a cheap way to dodge big repair bills later! #Business #Industry #CarCare142Share
