Living in Texas you learn pretty quickly that driving is a necessity because the state is gigantic and you need to get around, and you also learn that you better keep up with the rate of speed. Drivers in Texas always seem to be in a hurry, and if you slow them down they will let you know, especially if you’re going slow in the left lane. But seeing as how driving is a necessity, you need to take care of your vehicle, so we need to talk about vehicle maintenance.

As a vehicle owner I had to admit that I am big on preventative maintenance because I am not that handy when it comes to working on my car.

The website The Family Handyman created a list of bad habits that all mechanics want you to stop doing and since driving in Texas is a necessity, I wanted to share some of those helpful tips with you. Hopefully, after implementing these ideas you can cut down on vehicle maintenance costs.
