There are various factors that contribute to the occurrence of accidents. Some factors are controllable and thus can be properly addressed to avoid a mishap while others are simply inevitable. It is known that to be able to reduce the risk of car accidents, the car should be in good condition all the time. Most drivers know that by just filling up the car with quality fuel and proper grade motor oil will keep the car in good condition. Drivers should be reminded that these are not the only things that they should do for car maintenance. Proper car maintenance should be done in order to avoid Toronto car accidents.

Here are some tips and reminders for monthly and yearly car maintenance. Also, checking the car from time to time and fixing little problems immediately will be cheaper as compared to a one time car repair and maintenance. You will also be sure that the car won't let you down when you use it.

One of the things that you should check before driving is the condition of the tires. Blowouts and flat tires are usually the reason for Toronto car accidents. If the pressure is not correct, it may lead to swerving and hitting barriers or other cars. So before you drive especially if it will be a long trip, be sure to check the condition of your tires.


The windshield wipers should also be checked from time to time. Visibility is very important especially during inclement weather conditions. The wipers should not scratch or scrape the windshield. If you noticed initial signs, be sure to replace your wipers immediately.

You should also inspect your engine very often and you should replace the hoses if they are needed to be replaced. The fluid levels should also be checked and maintained. You should also check the batteries for corrosion to promote long life. Everything should be in place inside the hood.

Check your lights and signals by turning them on and asking someone to check them. Replace all bulbs that are needed to be repaired. Check for leaks by parking the car in a dry and clean area. Green fluid is from antifreeze, black means oil, and pink, red or brown means transmission fluid. It is highly advised to check the car very often to avoid Toronto car accidents. This will also prevent you from spending so much money in the future.
