Keeping your car in top shape is essential to ensuring that it runs smoothly and has a long life. Here are the seven deadly sins of car maintenance to avoid:

  2. Skipping detailing. Get your car detailed regularly to remove dirt, salt, and grime buildup that can lead to corrosion and discoloration.
