What Should You Look Out for in the Tyres?
Your tyres play a bigger role in fuel efficiency than most people realise. It starts at the point of selection — tyres with higher rolling resistance consume more fuel — so it’s worth understanding your tyre’s specifications before you buy.
Once fitted, correct air pressure matters most. Fuel consumption increases by around 1% for every 0.2 bar drop below the ideal pressure, while a slightly higher pressure (within the recommended range) can actually help save fuel.
Check your tyre pressure every time you refuel, and top up if needed.
Guide 03
How Important Is Correct Headlight Adjustment?
Poorly adjusted headlights aren’t just a risk to you — they’re a risk to every other driver on the road. Misaligned lights can fail to light up the road properly, or dazzle oncoming traffic, increasing the chance of an accident.
Getting your headlights checked at regular intervals is a simple step toward safer driving, day or night. Our technicians at Lustro Auto can carry out headlamp adjustment for you as part of a routine check.

What Checks Should You Perform on Your Car Before Setting Off on Holiday?
Finally, a holiday! But while you get to relax, your car takes on extra strain — heavier loads, higher speeds, hot weather, and long hours on the road all add up. A few checks before you leave can make sure your car gets you there and back safely.
Don't overload your vehicle beyond its rated limit.
Top up windshield washer fluid and coolant/anti-freeze levels.
Check your engine oil level and top up if necessary.
