As you eagerly await the year ahead, don’t forget to consider ways to keep your car running at peak performance. Continue reading to find four resolutions for your car in 2020.
New Year’s Resolutions for Your Car
Start a Cleaning Schedule
It’s no surprise that cars get dirty. What may surprise you is how dirt and grime can eventually lead to damage which can depreciate the value of your car. Commit to making a carwash a part of your cleaning routine. If you’re constantly on the go, take advantage of an affordable car wash in your town that charges a small monthly fee for limitless washing and access to vacuums. Your car will glisten and you’ll have one less thing on your to-do list. Or make an appointment at your local VW dealer for a thorough detailing.
Get Ahead of the Game
The check engine light wasn’t designed to be a reminder for your car’s next tune up. Instead of waiting for expensive repairs or disasters to strike, take the proactive approach and create a routine maintenance schedule. Many parts of your car including brake pads, fluids, spark plugs, and batteries need regular maintenance and replacement. Failure to do so could result in damage to your car or could even place you or your passengers in danger. Schedule an inspection today and leave unnecessary stress behind this year. Be sure to take advantage of any deals and coupons when you go.
Be Proactive With Deadlines
Few things are less enjoyable to find in the mail than a final notice for unpaid vehicle registration fees. The good news is that you know exactly when registration is coming due this year because there’s a sticker on your license plate that says so. Check the date and make a note on your calendar one month prior to take your car in for your annual inspection or emissions testing if necessary. That way, all you have to do when the notice comes in is pay the fee and wait for your new sticker to arrive.
