One tip to make your used car last longer is by keeping it neat and clean. Many of us spend a lot of time in our vehicles, and keeping it tidy can keep the car looking like new.

If you have a more exotic car, be sure they specialize in that kind of car. Since the cost of parts can often be more than the cost of labor, you should realize that OEM parts from a dealer usually cost 50% more than the same parts from a good after market supplier, when available. But your dealer always uses OEM factory parts. And items like tires, brakes, filters and routine maintenance parts are inevitably a good bit more expensive from the dealership.
car shocks absorbers Look for an oil slick on the street or driveway where the car is parked. Many owners wash dirty engines with a high pressure hose using degreaser or warm water. If the engine is the only clean part of the vehicle this calls for more attention to what you can not see. Check if the engine is still cold (you would want to start a cold engine to detect starting problems).
Now we can start the storage process. Your first move is to get a waterproof barrier wrap. Lay it out in the storage area and drive the car onto it. This wrap will keep water vapor from rising up under the car and will also keep car fluids from staining the area. Once the car is positioned, place it on jacks so that the car is completely suspended in the air. This will save your shocks, suspension and tires. Fire up the car and then cut the electrical connection to the fuel pump. When the car dies, the fuel system will be empty and ready for storage. The final step is just to walk around the car and seal all entry points that small animals can get into. Duct tape your exhaust pipe opening to prevent anything from getting up in there.

Do check your heating or air conditioning systems. You can go in for covered transport also as it will protect your vehicle against sun, heat etc.
Another way the car gets knocked about is with garbage. When taking out bulky garbage bags to the can, the car can easily get knocked. If there was a heavy object in the bag, then most likely the car will end up getting dented, even if only slightly. This little nicks and dings are unnecessary but extremely bothersome.
