New Year's Resolutions for Your Ride

As we enter 2019, it's time to think about your New Year's resolutions. You may already have a few goals for the year in mind but it's not too late to focus on a few resolutions for your vehicle. As your family-owned car dealership in Camdenton, MO, we know how important it is to set goals for your vehicle. From driving safer to keeping your car clean, there are a number of ways to improve your ride this year. Take a look below for some great resolution ideas!


Resolutions for Car Owners:

Clean Up Your Interior

Keep your interior cleaned up on a regular basis. A good idea is to start the year with a detailed vehicle and keep it picked up. Try to empty trash and items out of your vehicle each time you get home. This can help prevent your items from piling up and getting lost.

Check Your Tire Pressure

Having the recommended tire pressure in your tires can help them last longer. It not only promotes even tire wear, but it can also help increase the lifespan. Try to check your tire pressure on a weekly basis to ensure your tires are at the proper PSI.

Wash Your Car More

A clean car can give you a boost of confidence. Keep your ride shining by cleaning it on a regular basis. It can be tough in the winter months, but whenever the temps rise, try to keep it washed up. A regular car wash can help keep your exterior looking good and hold its value even more.

Schedule Oil Changes

While it's important to keep your ride looking good, it's also vital to maintain your engine. Your oil should be changed every 3,000-5,000 miles - check your vehicle manual for your specific requirements. This can help keep your engine running smoothly and working properly.

Rotate Tires

Every 5,000-10,000 miles you should have your tires rotated. This can help improve the longevity of your tires by promoting even tire wear. This small investment to rotate your tires can help extend the bigger investment required to replace your tires.

Resolutions for Drivers:

Put the Phone Down

Texting or emailing or surfing the web while driving is dangerous for you and everyone else on the roadway. Make a goal to keep your phone down while driving. If you haven't already made an effort, now's a great time to avoid the dangerous act of texting and driving!

Watch Your Speed

Keep your speed in check while driving. A number of drivers speed on a daily basis - even when they aren't in a hurry. This bad habit can be a danger to all on the road. Try to keep your speed close to limit to avoid a costly ticket or even worse - an accident.

Buckle Up Every Time

Buckling your seatbelt is a top priority for your safety and it's the law. Even if you are just driving up the street or across the parking lot, buckle your seat. An accident in a parking lot or just down the street from your home is fairly common. Ensure you and your family is protected by buckling up every time you put the car in drive.
