If you have a car, you probably want to do all you can to spend as little money as possible on car maintenance while keeping your car in good shape. A few simple tips can help keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Get regular check-ups. It's important to take steps like getting regular oil changes and keeping your car's tires properly balanced and inflated. This can help keep your vehicle running smoothly – so there's less chance it will end up in the shop. Check your owner's manual for a suggested maintenance schedule.

Slow down. Slowing down makes you a safer driver, and most insurance companies offer reduced rates for drivers with good driving records. Plus, slowing down will give you better gas mileage and eliminate the risk of a speeding ticket.

Drive with friends. Carpooling is a great way to save money on gas costs and cut down wear and tear on your vehicle.

Do your homework. Some insurance companies offer good student discounts. Good grades really can pay off!

Regular maintenance can extend the life of your vehicle, help keep you safe on the road and save you money in the long run – money that can be deposited in your account.
