Preventative Maintenance Made Easy: Automate Upkeep With TIRECRAFT

Although many Canadians agree that preventative maintenance is essential for the life and performance of their vehicle, too few are making the time for proper upkeep.

Today’s post reviews the research on preventative maintenance rates in Canada, then explains how TIRECRAFT is helping drivers simplify their to-do lists and save money. Read on to learn more, or contact a local TIRECRAFT to get a free quote on preventative maintenance services right away.

Proper Preventive Maintenance Takes ‘Your’ Time And Effort

“How does a vehicle that used to be reliable become unreliable?” asks the Automobile Protection Association. “One reason is owner neglect.”

Most of us know the kinds of preventative maintenance our cars require—and those who don’t, can find all the information they need in their owner’s manual—but knowing and doing are two very different things.

If you’ve been guilty of neglecting preventative maintenance, you’re certainly not alone. According to a 2018 research report by the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada:

• Nearly all (96%) of drivers acknowledge how important it is to maintain proper tire inflation, but less than one-third (30%) of survey respondents measure tire pressure more than once per month.
• The majority (86%) of drivers understand the importance of regular tire rotations to even out tread wear, yet only 59% of respondents had rotated their tires within the past 6 months, as recommended by most vehicle manufacturers.
• Though misaligned tires remain a leading cause of uneven wear, shortened tread life, and catastrophic tire failure, more than one-third (34%) of drivers failed to check their tire alignment within the last year.

Why are so many Canadians falling short of ideal vehicle upkeep? Many neglect preventative maintenance because they want to put off the costs of service; other drivers struggle to create a proper maintenance schedule or find a qualified provider; and some have decided to hold off until the pandemic threat period has completely passed. Whatever your reason, neglecting preventative maintenance is costing you, but your local TIRECRAFT can help!
