It’s a new year and there’s plenty of changes to be made! We know you might have your own New Year’s resolutions figure out but you’ve probably forgotten about your vehicle and some resolutions that your ride might have. But not to worry, this week we have you covered. Below you’ll find a list of four resolutions that your vehicle has been looking for. So, take a look, schedule your next service appointment and let’s get you on the right track to conquer 2020! 

  1. Don’t Neglect Car Maintenance
  • If you didn’t keep up with your regular car maintenance in 2019,  your first new year’s resolution should be to call your mechanic! Yes, I know keeping up with car maintenance can be a pain, but when you don’t keep up with it bigger problems can arise. And it isn’t cheap.
  • Schedule a service appointment today or stop into Younger Mitsubishi today for your service needs! 
  1. Learn To Do Basic Maintenance Yourself
  • 2020 is the year of DIY and if you’re tired scheduling maintenance and spending money on service, there is no better time than now to make it a new year’s resolution to learn how to do it yourself!
  • Start with something small, like learning to replace your windshield wipers. It usually needs to be done twice a year and is important for road safety. It’s an easy goal for the new year to accomplish quickly.
  1. End Distracted Driving
  • According to the DMV, on average 9 people are killed by distracted driving every day. Most people think that distracted driving means texting and driving but it actually refers to anything that can take your full attention away from the road. This includes reaching for something, changing the music, using an app, checking your GPS or map, taking a photo, checking email or posting to social media, eating and drinking, and even putting on makeup/grooming
  • Make this resolution to drive less distracted to keep you and others on the road safer.
  1. Keep Your Car Clean
  • For some of you keeping your car clean comes naturally, but for the rest of us, it is a daily challenge. If your car is a mess going into the new year learn how to declutter your car and prevent future clutter.
    • First, remove everything from your car that you do not need.
    • Second, organize those important papers in your car and rid of the papers you don’t need. Throw out old receipts, coupons, and other miscellaneous papers. Then find the important documents like your registration, insurance, and owner’s manual and put them in a safe spot.
    • Third, give your car a deep clean after you’ve decluttered it. Vacuum the seats and floor, wipe down windows, and take it through a car wash.
