Car maintenance, on the other hand, is for safety and performance and will also save you money in the long run. With the continuous increase in car prices in India and the trend of advanced cars, regular car servicing is becoming more essential than ever.

Apart from that, just doing the oil change, keeping correct tire pressure, verifying battery health, washing the car, and adhering to the service schedule can bring about a difference in the car’s life cycle and even more in the driver’s life cycle.

It is irrespective of whether you are a car owner of a budget car or one of the popular cars in India; taking good care of the car guarantees that you will have a reliable family car, a car with improved resale value, and a stress-free driving experience.

Not only that, but a properly serviced car can save you money, which is a big deal, and also your car will at all times be a safe haven for you and your loved ones.

Monsoon-ready maintenance isn’t optional — it’s a strategic investment in vehicle reliability. Begin with a complete underbody inspection. Waterlogged roads can splash dirt, grime and corrosive materials onto the chassis. A protective underbody coating helps prevent rust formation and safeguards critical components like the exhaust and suspension.

Brake care is equally vital. Constant exposure to moisture can reduce braking efficiency. Get your brake pads, discs and brake lines evaluated for wear. Fresh brake fluid ensures sharper response and safer stops, especially in emergency situations on slick roads.

Lubrication is another performance lever you can’t overlook. Engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluid must be clean and topped up to counter heat, humidity, and sudden weather changes. Using premium lubricants ensures that metal surfaces stay protected even when driving conditions get unpredictable.

Electrical and lighting systems also take a hit during monsoons. Check headlamps, tail lamps, indicators and fog lamps for clarity and function. Replace dim or flickering bulbs and ensure wiring harnesses are moisture-protected.
