Idiotic Mistakes Car Owners Make

Car servicing Brisbane is one of those professions in the world that would not have existed if every car driver became careful about their vehicles and paid full attention while driving their cars. Seems like bad news for the car servicing Brisbane industry, but there is no reason to worry because car owners will always be careless, get into sticky situations and need mechanics to pull them out of it! So what are the idiotic things you – the car owner, do and keep coming back to us?
You Put Fuel with Higher/Lower Octane Content in Your Fuel Tank
Some of you like to fill your cars with fuel high in octane than what their vehicles are graded to handle. The result is a short spike in performance and some thrill, but the joys are momentary. Car engines are made according to certain specifications, pushing them beyond limits can be destructive in the long run. A car that is meant to run on low octane gas will suffer albeit slightly compared to what the engine would suffer if you filled your high performance car with low octane gas. Stick to what the manuals says.
You Pass By the Gas Station Hundred Times a ...
... Day – Without Checking Tyre Air Pressure
You might not know but improper tyre pressure can cost you more. Less air in the wheels will increase the drag of your car against the road, thus pushing the engine to produce more power in order to drive the vehicle ahead. Driving the car on low air for too long will also affect the metallic rim underneath the tyres. And all of you radial tyre users, if you thought you do not have anything to worry about think again. Even radial tyres wear out and they must be rotated. Failing to rotate the tyres at proper intervals will need you to buy new tyres.
You Think the Brakes Are Good Enough
Car brakes behave differently at low speeds compared to when the car is running at high speeds. You might think that the brakes on your vehicle are strong enough to stop it whenever you put your feet to it. Interestingly, most drivers involved in car accidents think the same, but their brakes disappoint them! Get your car brakes checked and tightened.
