Change they say is inevitable. As time goes by, your car's condition can change drastically. From a smooth drive, handling can turn into a nightmare as steering and suspension components start to wear out and engine parts begin to exhibit wear due to age. With proper maintenance, however, your Buick Allure won't have to rot in the garage. It can age gracefully. Here are some great maintenance advice:

It doesn't take so much to keep the tires and wheels in good working condition. You just have to make sure that the tires are properly inflated. And for that, tire pressure should be checked every month. Tire rotation will also help prolong the life of the tires and enhance their performance on the road. The vehicle, specifically the front end, should be aligned as well. Check the tread wear and depth to know whether or not it's time for tire replacement. When cleaning your wheels, be sure to clean off the collected brake dust. Also check the lug nuts and bearings.

Don't wait till the engine is no longer operating smoothly. Check the different parts under the hood. The drive belts and pulleys must be intact. If they're about to get ripped or come loose, then this will cause serious trouble eventually. Don't let your vehicle run low on motor oil. Oil change is a must, and this must be done regularly. To keep the engine cool, make sure that there's enough coolant circulating around the system. Otherwise, your car's powerhouse may run too hot.

By keeping the battery terminals and contacts clean, you're not only preventing corrosion and dirt buildup but you're also letting the car battery have a proper charge. This will help prolong the life of the battery and ensure that it won't run out of juice as you drive on the road. Also check the battery fluid level to see if it needs to be refilled.

Don't let road dirt, mud, grit, and road salt get stuck on your car's finish. This can ruin the paint and will be harder to remove. Give your vehicle a thorough wash every once in a while. Use the right car care products. Also give the car interior a fresh, clean look by using a vacuum to remove dust and dirt inside the cabin and to keep moisture away. Use the right car cleaning materials and the most reliable car detailing supplies depending on the material (plastic, fabric, leather, vinyl, for instance). Make sure that the carpet is thoroughly cleaned and that it's kept dry to avoid moisture from setting deep into the fibers and becoming the breeding ground of mold and bacteria.

Take note of the recommended maintenance by the manufacturer. Consult the manual for the required service and prescribed schedule. Don't let the parts wear out completely on their own. Some parts have to be replaced as soon as possible, so they won't be causing damage to other components.
