Our vehicles can be costly, and for that reason, we all want to take good care of them and make sure we can get as much life out of them as possible. In this, most of us want to know what we should do to help our vehicles along – but we also want to know what not to do, so that we aren’t wasting our money.
So – what are some of the basic car care myths professionals have identified?
1. Myth #1 – Tune-ups – How often should you have your vehicle tuned up? Do you know? Most engines are computer monitored and controlled – the good news with this is, they don’t need tune-ups as often as a traditional engine.

Up and down Ireland car parks and roadsides are littered with used cars, vans and commercial vehicles with a for sale sign placed in the window.

Sometimes all the crude sign in the vehicle window will have is ‘For Sale’, followed by a mobile number. Some will advertise a price with o.n.o. (or nearest offer) as well as details of whether the car is NCT’d.
Apart from coming under the scrutiny of local Gardaí or councils, one of the downfalls of the roadside car for sale is that it’s a danger to Read More
