How do I maintain a car I barely drive?

A car you rarely drive still needs regular maintenance because sitting causes its own problems, including a dead battery, flat-spotted tires, old oil that turns acidic, brakes that rust, and fuel that degrades. You should still change the oil at least once a year even if you are far under the mileage limit, since oil breaks down over time, not just with use. In Miami's humidity, moisture builds in the engine, fuel system, and brakes of a car that sits, accelerating corrosion. Starting the car and driving it for 15 to 20 minutes every week or two keeps the battery charged and fluids circulating. A battery tender helps if it sits longer. An annual inspection catches the slow damage that low-mileage cars hide. Motoro Cars services low-mileage and stored vehicles across 40+ brands and keeps them ready to drive.
