The way you drive has a direct effect on how long your car’s parts will last. Smooth, steady inputs protect the brakes and transmission. When you accelerate gently and ease into stops, you keep excess heat off your brake pads and rotors, which helps them last longer and perform more reliably.

Tires and suspension also benefit from careful driving. Hitting potholes or curbs at speed can throw off the alignment and shorten the suspension's life. Regularly checking tire pressure is another simple habit. Edmunds points out that maintaining correct tire inflation helps tires last longer and can even improve fuel economy.*

Finally, consider the systems that keep your car running smoothly every day. Using cruise control on the highway helps avoid unnecessary strain from sudden speed changes, enhancing both efficiency and comfort. Avoiding frequent short trips whenever possible allows your battery to recharge fully.
