2017 New Years Resolution for you Car

2017 is here and we are ready to start making the adequate changes, and resolutions that we have set for the beginning of the year. I know that having a resolution for your vehicle is not the same as dieting, or loosing weight. But if you really think about it, you Car plays a major role in your day-to-day life like getting you to work, the kids to school, and Tyson to the vet when he eats your cell phone.

1. Keep the interior clean

Nobody like a messy car. Make sure to always pick up after yourself, the kids, family members. Keeping your car clean will also help you maintaining your paint job and the interior of the vehicle. Also, be surety do frequent car washes to also keep the paint job in good condition.

2.  Basic Maintenance

Heading to your local maintenance shop for you car can sometimes be a headache with setting appointments, and the money that you can be spending. Let’s learn how to do it yourself! You can always start with something small, like learning how to change your own oil, or even how to change your tires if one of them has a whole, or even pops.

3. Be a Courteous Driver

This new year let’s make an effort to be a more courteous driver. We know that after a long day of work, or even not having enough sleep can be a factor in having road rage. By being more patient with your fellow drivers, we can avoid road rage and potential accidents that happen when you are not paying attention to the road. By doing that we can avoid focusing on what other people are doing around you, and focusing on getting from pointA to point B.

4. Quit texting and Driving

This 2017 let’s be a much more safe driver, and not send that text behind the wheel that can clearly wait. There have been many car accidents due to texting and driving. If we make it a habit to not pull out the cell phone while being behind the wheel we will instantly become a safer driver, not only for ourselves, but for others.
