- Engine RepairCooling systems can give you a higher towing capacity by letting you work the engine harder, too. Let’s say your standard V8 engine lets you tow something up to 1,000 lbs. Equipped with a super cooling system, you can make the engine work a little harder knowing you’re able to keep it cool and working efficiently to increase your towing capacity up to 1,500 lbs.
- Oil ChangeIncluding windshield wipers in your oil change is an easy way to stay on top of your regular maintenance. But, that might not be soon enough. Keeping an eye out for the signs of used wiper blades we discussed earlier (skipping, streaking, splitting and squeaking) is the best way to ensure you’re replacing your blades on time. At the least, you should change them once a year.

- Fuel Injection Service/RepairA carburetor is what mixes air with your fuel to produce combustion, thus generating moment to propel your car forward. Carburetors are almost exclusively found in older cars as new cars use fuel-injection systems. This is good news, though, as fuel-injected cars often require less maintenance.

- Tire RotationAt this point, you should be safe to drive. It’s almost always worth it to make your next stop a mechanic to have him look over your work. Besides making sure the tire is on tight, he’ll probably want to do a tire rotation to make sure the wheels are in alignment and riding properly.

- Tire ReplacementWhile some of the cheapest, bare-bones roadside programs can cost as little as $3 extra per month from an insurance company, more extensive coverage may not come at a deeply discounted price. For a program that covers more than simple services, like jump starts, tire changes and locksmith services, you might be better off going to a company that specifically focuses on roadside assistance plans.

- Tire BalancingTires—Are they all the same size/brand? How is the tread? Are some tires more worn down than the others? Replacing tires can be costly, and an uneven tread can mean an improper tire balance and rough ride. If you see any warning signs in the tires, discuss them with the seller to have them replace, fix or compensate you for the damage.

- Auto MaintenanceThese milestones equal major service points in your car’s life. At 30,000 miles, most new cars lose their warranty from the manufacture and make for great trade-ins. Still young enough to get a good price but used enough to where you really got your money’s worth from buying them in the first place. 70,000 miles is where you’re probably going to invest in new parts and fluids to keep your engine running smoothly. Selling before this point is going to save you from buying those replacement parts, but the extra miles will require you to discount the asking price. Finally, at 100,000 miles your preventative maintenance starts over as if you were at 0 miles. A lot of the earlier items you replaced or worked on now need to be fixed again, and the cycle continues.
