Girls, here are a few simple tips that will keep your car on the road and probably save you a bit of money too.

Check each month

Oil levels: add oil if below low level mark and check for leaks
Tyre pressure: add air to correct PSI (pounds per square inch) if low, correct tyre pressure settings which can be found in owner's manual
Tyres: check for slow punctures, bulges or uneven wear
Coolant and anti freeze: top up if needed
Air Filter: replace if worn or dirty
Exhaust: check the exhaust system is in sound working order

All fluid levels once a month. Make sure your car is parked on a flat surface. Use the dipstick to check the oil level and monitor coolant, check windscreen-washer fluid and brake-fluid levels by checking them against the markers on the side of their respective reservoirs.
Battery terminal and cables: clean if corroded
Wiper blades: replace if worn or causing smears
Inspect headlights/brake lights/indicators
Inspect brakes for wear and tear
Check the windscreen for chips and cracks
Check the horn works properly
Check spare tyre is fully inflated
Check all seatbelt buckles work
Make sure the handbrake will hold the car on a hill
