Allen Samuels: Car Care Tip of the Week

There are so many simple things that can be done to prolong the life of your car's mechanical features. As the summer heats up, you may not use your heater much — if at all! That can lead to overall degradation of the working parts of the heating system. As mechanical parts just sit there joints lose their lubrication, seals weaken and things just tend to freeze up.

Now, the heater was just one example. The same is true for say, your windshield wipers if it hasn't rained in awhile; your all-wheel drive if you haven't taken it off the pavement lately; and just about any set of moving parts your vehicle may have. It's important to use those features, even when they're not necessarily needed, to keep everything running smoothly.

So that's it for our weekly car tip! Simple but crucial — and something that the average person might not think about.
