Smart Automotive Resolutions for the New Year

The New Year is here, which means it's time to start working towards your New Year's resolutions. Many of us set New Year's resolutions that revolve around our own health and wellbeing. However, you shouldn't forget your car. Here are some smart automotive resolutions for the New Year.

First, change your oil on time. Changing your oil is one of the easiest and most affordable maintenance services you can have done. However, many of us neglect to do it. Changing your oil can help maintain your vehicle's quality and extend its lifespan. To determine your vehicle's oil change intervals, read your owner's manual.

Next, take better cosmetic care of your car. A good looking car is eye-catching, but it can also help you see better. A clean windshield and clean headlights can make your path more clear when getting from here to there. Car washes are affordable, or you can do a car wash yourself to save even more money.

Carpooling is another excellent automotive resolution for the New Year. Consider giving your family member a ride to the airport or your co-worker a ride to work. When carpooling, you get to drive in the carpool lane. You also reduce your environmental impact and you can strengthen your relationships with friends and family.

Following the rules of the road is important. Setting this as a New Year's resolution is a great way to take care of your vehicle and save some money. Speeding is unsafe, so avoid doing so, even if you are in a hurry. Speeding also burns more gas, meaning you have to make more trips to the gas station. You can save money at the pump by obeying the speed limit.

Make 2020 the year you get behind the wheel of a car that meets your needs. Set these resolutions for yourself once you've purchased a car from Certified Headquarters. We are located at 873 Middle Country Road in St. James and we look forward to seeing you here soon!
