2020 brings a new year, a new decade, and endless possibilities. As you aim to make the most of your New Year’s plans, consider making some resolutions for your car, too. Continue reading for some fresh ideas of how to start the year off right.
New Year’s Resolutions for Your Car
Practice proactive maintenance
Rather than waiting for that dreaded check engine light to ping, make your New Year’s resolution to stay ahead of regular maintenance by creating and following a maintenance schedule. Fluids, filters, batteries, brake pads, and spark plugs all need to be monitored and replaced to keep your Volkswagen running in mint condition.
Schedule an inspection today, and request a maintenance schedule for the exact make and model of your car. Be sure to check for any available service coupons or deals you can take advantage of.
Keep it clean
If you have kids, dogs, or a lifestyle that forces you to make your car the central hub of your day, then you know all too well how quickly a clean, peaceful car can turn into a cluttered, dirty mess. Even the glistening exterior of your car can be tarnished with salted roads and muddy driveways. Not only does dirt and grime make your car less appealing, but it can also actually depreciate the value of your car by damaging the paint and clear coat.
Make 2020 the year you decide to keep your car clean and beautiful. Find a car wash near you that provides unlimited washes for a low monthly rate so that you can scrub down and vacuum out your car as often as you need to. Or you add “wash the car” to your family’s chore wheel.
Beat the deadlines
Registration and other annual fees have a funny way of sneaking up on you. Rather than driving the backroads for a month trying to avoid the highway patrol noticing the out-of-date sticker on your license plate, plan ahead. Check when your registration is coming due.
Go ahead and schedule your annual inspection or emissions testing (if necessary) one month prior to the registration due date. That way, all you’ll have to do when the notice comes in is hop online, pay the fee, and wait for the new sticker to come in the mail.
