As your vehicle ages, it not only gains sentimental value but a number of maintenance measures arise as well. Vehicles from previous decades have the potential to keep their value and functionality for many years. But how can you make that possible? Here are some tips from WORKING CLASS AUTO AND DIESEL to keep your older vehicle running and on the road for a long time!

First things first, it’s crucial to prioritize the main systems in the vehicle including brakes and steering systems. This will make sure the main components are in check so you can then check other systems and parts of the vehicle. This will ensure that you are able to continue driving your car if you desire to. Even if you aren't planning to drive your older vehicle very regularly, it is important to make sure these integral systems are not neglected.

After ensuring that the main systems are in check, keep an eye on other parts of the vehicle including the engine, transmission, hoses, fuel lines etc. Keeping main systems and parts of your vehicles is the most integral part of making sure your vehicle lasts a long time. Besides the aforementioned maintenance, you must also maintain the car through oil changes, tire rotations, replacing spark plugs and coolant, checking tire pressure, and more. Older vehicles require more attention than newer ones so it’s important to monitor your vehicle closely in order to maintain it in the correct manner.

Finally, simply keep the vehicle clean--inside and out. Keeping your older vehicle in clean shape is very rewarding. Take time to keep the interior in shape either by your own means or taking it to a detailer. Also, paying attention to the exterior, especially the paint, is crucial as the vehicle ages. Keep up with washes and prevent any buildup or rust!
