Hey there, fellow Lalamove Ride driver partners!
Keeping your ride in tip-top shape is super important, not just for your car’s health but also for the comfort and safety of your passenger.
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity of the car as well as the safety and satisfaction of passengers.
Check out these essential car maintenance tips to keep your car running smoothly.
1. Regular Oil Changes
Think of oil as your car’s lifeblood.
Consistently following your car’s manual for oil changes keeps your engine running smoothly.
Skipping these changes can result in engine troubles, which is something you'd want to avoid.
2. Check Tire Pressure
Your tires are literally where the rubber meets the road, making them one of the critical safety features.
To ensure your tires are in good condition, you have to regularly check tire pressure. Both overinflated and underinflated tires can cause handling issues.
Not just that, these tires also can reduce fuel efficiency!
3. Brake Maintenance
Did you hear any squealing noises coming from your car’s brakes?
If yes, then it’s time to check on the brake pads!
You should at least get your brakes inspected by a professional once a year (or maybe more!).
4. Monitor Fluid Levels
Apart from engine oil, your car also relies on several other fluids to operate correctly.
Regularly check and top up these fluids to avoid any significant issues while driving:
- Transmission fluid
- Coolant
- Brake fluid
- Windshield washer fluid
- Power steering fluid
Make sure to check before you start your day as a Lalamove Ride driver partner!
5. Battery Care
To avoid those dreaded no-start situations, your car should have a good battery!
Most car batteries last about three to five years, so consider replacing yours if it’s nearing the end of its lifespan.
6. Regular Cleaning
Keeping your car clean, both inside and out, is not just about aesthetics.
As a Lalamove Ride Driver Partner, a clean car can enhance your passenger experience. This will secure your chance to get a higher rating.
Who wouldn’t want a 5-star rate, right?
7. Check Lights And Indicators
Functioning lights and indicators are crucial for safe driving, especially at night or in bad weather conditions.
Here are some light indicators for you to check:
- Headlights
- Brake lights
- Turn signals
- Fog lights
- Tire pressure warning light
8. Scheduled Professional Inspections
Even if you’re great at self-maintaining the car, a professional can spot things you might miss.
You should schedule a comprehensive car inspection according to your car’s manual.
Remember, if you catch the potential problems early, it can save you from bigger and more expensive repairs down the road.
