How to Take Care of Your Car So It Lasts Longer
Regular maintenance — the key to reliability
Most breakdowns don’t happen suddenly — they start with small issues that go unnoticed. Checking fluids, tires and brakes takes only a few minutes but can save you hundreds of euros on repairs.
1. Check your oil level
Even if no warning lights are on, check the oil level every 3–6 months.
The best time is in the morning before starting the engine or at least 20 minutes after turning it off.
If the level is low, don’t just top it up randomly — different oils aren’t always compatible.
Our mechanics will select the right type for your engine.
2. Watch your coolant
Coolant (antifreeze) keeps your engine at a stable temperature.
Leaks or old coolant can lead to overheating and expensive repairs.
The fluid should be clean and free of rust or residue.
If you’re unsure, book a quick diagnostic check.
3. Check your brakes and suspension
If you hear squeaks or feel vibrations while braking, it’s time for an inspection.
Worn brake pads and shock absorbers affect not only comfort but also safety.
We perform fast vehicle diagnostics and give you a clear report.
4. Inspect your tires
Check tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips.
Incorrect pressure increases fuel consumption and reduces handling.
Uneven wear often indicates the need for wheel alignment.
5. Test the battery and electrical system
A slow starter, dim headlights, or dashboard warnings may mean the battery is losing capacity.
We can test voltage and charge in just a few minutes.
If needed, we’ll run a full electrical system check.
6. Technical inspection — preparation and completion
Many drivers think: “If something’s wrong, the inspection will show it.”
But if your car fails, you’ll waste time and have to return again.
At Mixauto.ee, we do it differently — we prepare your car and complete the official inspection for you.
You simply drop off your car and get it back with the inspection already passed.
