Smart Car Repair & Motoring
Nowadays, when taking care of the environment has
become a priority, it has been realised that enough
small changes made by many people can make a difference.
Not just limited to recycling cans and saving electricity,
this also extends to driving. If you are smart, car
repair and motoring need not be such a burden on your
surroundings.
Here are a few changes you can make, some of which
will benefit not only the environment, but your safety
and hip pocket as well!
Alter your lifestyle: It has been discovered that if
10% of the population used their car one day less a
week, that every year 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide
would be saved from going up into the atmosphere. So,
try staying at home one day extra a week (working,
not lazing around!). Alternatively, join a car pool.
Use SMART car repair for damages: Whatever brand
your car is, treat minor damages the SMART (Small To
Medium Repair Technique) way. SMART car repair can
not only save you a fair amount of money, but can help
the environment too, as the damaged parts – particularly
plastic ones - do not have to be replaced.
A lot of SMART car repair jobs also take a lot less
time than at a garage. In addition, many SMART car
repair jobs can be done on your premises, saving you
the petrol used to travel there, as well as time and
inconvenience.
Techniques that SMART car repair undertake include
paintless dent removal, seat and trim repair, plastic
welding and bumper repair, air conditioning repair,
and alloy wheel repair.
Get SMART car repair technicians to check you out:
lluminated warning signals on your dashboard need immediate
attention as they could indicate serious problems indirectly
leading to inefficient fuel consumption (in addition
to the car being unsafe to drive!). Make use of SMART
car repair services, which also include a car diagnostics
service to ensure the problem does not escalate.
Choose a car that facilitates your lifestyle:
If you mainly use it as a run around, then a small car
or electric one would be much better than a 4WD, which
will use a lot more petrol and cost a lot more to run
and maintain, though SMART car repair can reduce a lot
of those costs in the case of minor damage.
For regular long-distance drivers, a diesel engine
uses less fuel than a petrol engine, so would be a better
choice – environmentally speaking.
Slow down: Putting the "pedal to the metal"
may be cool in films, but in reality, it's an excessive
waste of petrol radically and unnecessarily increasing
your fuel consumption. By reducing your speed from 135
kms/hr to 112 kms/hr, your fuel efficiency increases
to 25%. By travelling between 80 and 96 kms/hr, your
fuel consumption will be at its optimum.
Alter your driving: Slamming on the brakes or
accelerating suddenly also increases fuel consumption
and increases your risk of an accident. Although
SMART car repair services are quite comprehensive, if
you lurch forward in slow-moving traffic and smash into
the car in front causing considerable damage, SMART
car repair technicians may not be able to fix it.
Use mobile services: Where possible and practical,
use mobile services that come to you, rather than you
going to them, such as SMART car repair services. You
will save on petrol and reduce fuel emissions.
Walk: Try walking (rather than driving) to your
destination. It will alleviate any thoughts about fuel
consumption or SMART car repair services, will be better
for your health, and better for the environment!

suggest that they can service the Air con system in
less than an hour. This probably means they are taking
shortcuts and will not do a professional job.
