Car Maintenance & Repair
Getting your car serviced regularly is an important and relatively easy way to reduce your emissions, increase your MPG, and keep your car in good working order for the long haul.
Regular car repair and maintenance can spot problems that reduce gas mileage and increase carbon emissions. This includes dirty oil, a broken thermostat, low transmission fluid or even a clogged air filter. If you can't remember the last time your car was serviced, make an appointment with your mechanic or get a referral by one of the resources in this section.
One of the simplest measures to keeping your car running smoothly and efficiently also include checking the tire pressure. You can buy a gauge for under $15, which is important since properly inflated tires can save up to $65 per year.
The check engine light is a key indication that you need to get your car serviced. Yeah, it's inconvenient, but it could save you money and fuel over the long run. Some estimates show that properly maintaining your car could increase gas mileage up to 10%. What does this mean? It means reducing your carbon footprint and saving money.
