New Year's Resolutions For Your Car

​We are half way through the first month of January and many of us have fallen off the “resolution” wagon already. However, it’s not too late for our vehicles. Here is a simple yet effective goal to work towards: Keeping your car maintained.
 
Give your vehicle the love it deserves!
 
Keep the inside of your car clean
 
Nothing is more embarrassing than having trash in your car. With a car full of garbage and trash people will think you are a slob. Here are a few tips to keep your car clean.

1. Pick a nice day to get all the garbage out and wipe down the inside of the car.
2. When you are pumping gas, take the time to get all the garbage out of the car (that’s why they have cans by the pump J )
3. When you come home every night, remove all belongings that need to go in your house and remove any garbage from the day. Nothing will make you feel better to start your day in a clean and organized car.

 
Be proactive with symptoms
 
When you hear a sound in your car and you KNOW it’s not right, don’t wait to see if it gets worse. You will have a piece of mind that your car is going to be okay, instead of wondering if or when it will break down.
 
Schedule service appointments
 
Your car has a body too and it needs regular checkups. Scheduling at least two service appointments a year will help you keep your car running longer and stronger.
 
Keep your fluids topped off
 
Did you know that most relationships fights could be ignored by just topping off your car fluids? How many times has your partner yelled at your for not filling up the gas tank before coming home? Or filling up the window washer fluid? Checking your fluids every time you get gas will save you hours of fighting per year, and make you more productive each morning. (hint, that is why they have paper towels next to the garbage can too!)
 
Pay attention to your tires
 
Talk about a buzz kill! Nothing ruins your day more than a flat tire! When you are done pumping gas... check your tires! (Another hint, that is why they have air pumps at gas stations too! I know…. If they work)
 
Listen to your service technician
You might think that it is a taboo that all service advisors or technician is out to get you. However, most shops really do want to take care of you and your car. They want to keep you as a long-term client, not someone to just rip off once and lose you forever. If they say you need a repair and are unsure, take it for a second opinion.
Pay your tickets and toll fines
Nothing is worse than wondering if you are going to get a boot on your car. And if you live in Chicago and owe money, don’t think about parking at the airport. You will get booted. Call the city and work something out. You will realize they will work with you.
Reward your vehicle and yourself
