A new year means a fresh start! A great way to kick off the new year is with a resolution! We here at Younger Mitsubishi know resolutions sometimes seem like they’re made to fail. However, a great way to keep your resolutions is to start with something small. One simple resolution you can start with is taking better care of your Mitsubishi! We know life gets crazy and even though it feels like you just cleaned out your car last week, it’s actually been months and it’s a mess! It’s okay, it happens to the best of us. Plus, keeping your car organized isn’t just important for space, but for your safety too. That’s why this week we are here to help you get your car sparkly clean and organized in only four simple steps! So take a peek at our helpful hints below!

Step 1: Sort and clean

  • Take everything out of the car, including car seats, music, and miscellaneous items stored in the glove box and door pockets. 
  • Don’t forget the trunk and cargo area!
  •  Organize the rest of the items into three piles: stuff you use all the time, things you use occasionally, and items you might need in an emergency. Whatever doesn’t fall into these categories should be stored in your home or garage.

Step 2: Analyze 

  • Ask yourself, “How do I use my car?”
  • Are you the taxi driver? Maybe you’re a parent with two toddlers in car seats or a salesman who travels with a trunkload of samples. Whatever it is, figure it out.

Step 3: Prioritize

  • Depending upon your needs, go through your three piles and prioritize the most important items in each group
  • And just like seasonal clothes in a closet, many items such as ice scrapers and emergency kits should be stored back in your vehicle 

Step 4: Contain your needs

  • Loose objects in the car lead to disorganization and mess. In the event of a sudden stop or a crash, they can also damage your car or, worse, injure your occupants. Get yourself a good organizer to keep all of your items concise and easy to access.
