3 Preventable Porsche Repairs

We’ve all experienced car trouble at one time or another. However, you can reduce how often you come in for Porsche repair by keeping up with regular maintenance. Follow these driving tips and visit us at Porsche Woodland Hills for regular service to keep your car running for years to come.

Tire Blowouts

Tire blowouts aren’t a fact of life, and they’re easy to prevent. Your first step is driving carefully, avoiding road debris and potholes. Taking care of your tires helps too. Have your tires rotated according to your owner’s manual’s schedule to evenly distribute wear and have them balanced to keep them working well together. Adjust your tire pressure as the weather outside changes to avoid driving on over- or under-inflated tires.

Overheating Engines

An overheated engine will damage other parts and can break down, especially in a hot California summer. Ensure your coolant is topped up and have any leaks taken care of immediately to keep the temperature in a safe range. If your engine is regularly running hot, try turning off your air conditioning.

Worn-Out Brakes

A brake failure can be one of the most dangerous ways for your car to break down. Regularly changing your brake pads will keep them efficient, putting less wear on the brake rotors and the rest of the system. You can also keep your brakes healthy by driving more carefully: every time you slam on the brakes to make a sudden stop, your brake pads wear out a little faster.
