PROMINENT MOTOR SDN BHD (HQ)

Harga bahan bakar kenderaan yang tidak menentu sejak 10 tahun lalu mempengaruhi pengguna kenderaan bermotor terutama kereta berusaha mengurangkan kadar penggunaan bahan bakar pada tahap paling minimum. Langkah ini sangat perlu kerana penggunaan bahan api paling minimum dapat menjimatkan perbelanjaan minyak petrol. Sehubungan itu, adalah penting bagi anda memerhatikan kadar penggunaan minyak kereta anda bukan semata-mata kerana harganya yang melambung tinggi ketika ini tetapi penggunaan minyak yang lebih daripada yang sepatutnya menandakan enjin kereta anda mengalami kerosakan. Tekan pedal minyak perlahan-lahan apabila memulakan perjalanan. Tutup suis A/C dan gunakan “ blower ” tanpa pendingin udara. Cara ini amat sesuai pada waktu pagi dan malam. Ekori belakang kenderaan seperti bas, lori atau van dengan jarak yang selamat supaya rintangan udara (aerodinamik) dapat di kurangkan. Minimumkan berat muatan kenderaan anda supaya kenderaan lebih ringan dan kurang memerlukan bahan...

With so much emphasis on car buying, few people consider the maintenance requirements of an automobile. The modern car may have as many as 75,000 parts, and the malfunction of just one can make your car behave very strangely. Maintaining a car in good condition will help you to keep it safe, drive it for a long time, and someday sell it for a better price. Stay in touch with your mechanic and ask questions! Mechanics are used to people asking car questions, and most handle the questions admirably. If a mechanic isn't in the mood to give you two minutes to answer a question, ask whether he would take the time to maintain the machine you will drive down the freeway at 65 miles per hour. Read your owner's manual. It has lots of information specific to your car. If anything seems out of place, have it checked as soon as possible. An unusual smell, a new noise, a vibration, a new light on the instrument panel coming on, anything, have it checked! As a driver, your responsibili...

Replace just the blades once a year as needed before the rainy season. You can also replace the entire wiper assembly if needed. If you do a lot of driving in wet weather conditions, you may also want to apply a water repellent treatment to your windshield.

Make sure to check your headlights, taillights, reverse lights, and turn signals. Notice where your headlights point and correct it or have it corrected as needed. They should be pointing down and towards the outside of the road, not straight out, up, or towards the center. You can see the light pattern on the road ahead of you. Misaligned headlights can be distracting or hazardous to drivers ahead of you or in oncoming or adjacent lanes...

Coolant, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, and other fluids need to be checked at a minimum of once per week. Ask your mechanic to demonstrate the method to check these.

The interior is often a point of selling power when it comes time to trade the car in or sell it. While many may not care about the oil or tires, if the CD player won't work, or the interior looks a little dirty, the deal is off. It's been said that the value of the car is held in the cabin, and that statement holds true. If you ever want to trade the car in or sell it, every quarter spent at a pay vacuum will be paid back to you with interest!

Have your brakes checked by a mechanic once per month. If you notice ANY problems with the brakes, take your car to have the brakes serviced immediately. If the brakes fail, you can have a very serious crash. Check the belts or have them checked regularly for wear and tension. Very loose belts often make a loud squealing sound; have yours serviced if you hear this noise. Check the battery once per month for corrosion and clean it or have it cleaned and as needed. Avoid...

Windows Make sure that all windows, mirrors and lights are clean and not broken. Replace any broken lights or mirrors as soon as possible. Have small windshield cracks by a windshield repair center to determine whether the windshield can be repaired or needs to be replaced. Check regularly for cracks and damage. Allow plenty of room if when following behind other vehicles that could throw objects from the road or lose debris from their loads. Even a small pebble from the back of a gravel truck can damage your windshield.

Oil Oil is the blood of your car, and without it, the car isn't going to go far or quietly. Have your mechanic demonstrate how to check your oil properly, and have the oil changed every 3000-3500 miles. While oil manufacturers have claimed that their oil can last 10,000 miles, it is generally best to use the same oil for no more than 5000 miles to maximize engine reliability and efficiency over the long term. Check the oil regularly, about once a week, and change the oil or have it changed when you reach the 4000-4500 mile limit.

Tires Make sure they are properly inflated to the manufacturers specified pressure. Tire gauges are cheap and easy to use. Tires should be replaced when tread wear indicators are showing between the treads. Ask your local tire dealer if you are unsure how to identify tread wear indicators. Check your tires every other day for pressure and every week for wear. Have them replaced when they become worn beyond acceptable limits.
