PADOVA (ITALPRESS) – At a time when the cost of gasoline and, even more, of the diesel weighs clearly on the budgets of families and enterprises, there is a concrete gesture that really makes the difference: taking care of your car with a regular and careful maintenance. It is not just a good rule that increases the level of safety. It is a smart choice, able to transform itself, today more than ever, into a real and measurable savings. An incorrectly maintained car can consume up to 10-15% more than a vehicle under optimal conditions. AsConAuto, the Association that brings together Italian dealers and promotes the distribution of Original Spare Parts on the territory, draws the attention of motorists on the importance of complying with the periodic controls and coupons provided by the vehicle maintenance plan, always relying on qualified professionals. A regular maintenance car keeps the engine’s original efficiency and all its components longer. And this is reflected directly on consumption. By rescuing key elements such as air filter, fuel filter or injection system the vehicle can start ‘no more. And the same happens when the tyres are worn or have no proper pressure: increasing the rolling resistance the fuel consumption grows. But the benefits don’t stop at the wallet. Regular maintenance helps to increase road safety; reduce environmental impact; preserve the car’s value over time; prevent sudden and costly failures. Taking care of your car, in summary, means consuming less, reducing emissions and traveling with greater serenity tomorrow. Roberto Scarabel, President of AsConAuto: “From 15 April the obligation to mount winter tyres ceases. In the coming days many cars will pass from the workshops for the change of tires: it can be the ideal opportunity to carry out a complete check-up. Maintenance should not be seen as an expense, but as an investment. Relying on the official network and the self-repairers pointing on the Original Spare is to guarantee the vehicle the maintenance of the performance, even in terms of consumption, and the efficiency parameters provided by the manufacturer over time”.
