Vehicle maintenance goes beyond occasional check-ups or oil changes. There are small daily actions that make a big difference in performance, durability, and safety. At Alas Estaciones, we want to be with you every kilometer, helping you keep your car in top condition from day one. Here are some useful tips.
Washing is not just about looks: it protects your bodywork
A clean vehicle not only looks better, but it’s also better protected. Accumulated dirt, road dust, bird droppings, or winter salt can damage the paint and accelerate corrosion. That’s why we recommend using our textile roller car washes, which provide a deep and careful clean without damaging the exterior.
In addition, many drivers neglect interior cleanliness. Vacuuming regularly and disinfecting surfaces also contribute to a more comfortable and safe drive.
When is the best time to refuel?
Avoiding a nearly empty tank is more important than it seems. When fuel levels are very low, impurities can build up and affect the injection system. Ideally, refuel when there’s about a quarter tank left.
At our stations, you’ll find premium Diesel A with additives that clean and protect your engine, improving its performance. You can also refuel easily using our Alas cards, earning points to redeem in our rewards catalogue.
AdBlue additive: your ally for modern diesel engines
If your vehicle is diesel and meets Euro 6 standards, it likely uses AdBlue, an additive that reduces pollutant emissions. You can easily find it at Alas Estaciones, always at the best price.
It’s important not to let the AdBlue tank run dry, as some vehicles won’t start unless it’s refilled. Check the level regularly and top it up at a trusted station.
Watch out for fuel temperature and density
Weather conditions also impact fuel performance. At high temperatures, for example, fuel density can vary, which impacts combustion. That’s why our stations have storage and distribution systems that maintain optimal fuel conditions year-round.
Keeping your vehicle in good condition doesn’t require great effort just consistent habits and smart choices. And at Alas Estaciones, we make it easy, with services designed to help you care for your car without complications.
