Christmas is over and New Year's is next in the books - what resolutions will you be making to ring in 2021? A lot of people vow to lose weight, save money, or get more organized and while we think those are great resolutions, we also think that car care could be tacked onto your list of must-dos for the upcoming new year. Here are five car care resolutions you should consider to kick off 2021 on the right foot!
Don't go into 2021 without considering these resolutions
Resolution #1: Learn how to change a tire.
Do you know how to handle a flat tire if one strikes when you're out on the road? Having a blowout can leave you stranded if you're not familiar with how to change a tire. Luckily, it's a pretty easy process and we have step-by-step instructions on our website to walk you through it. Print them out and keep them in your car alongside a spare tire, tire jack, lug wrench, and flashlight.
Resolution #2: Get on a schedule and stick to it.
We know that we're always harping on you to stick to a car care schedule, but bad news - we're not going to stop anytime soon. Getting routine car care will ensure that your car is running in top shape at all times and also keep its value high so when you sell or trade in down the road, you can get the most bang for your buck. Plus, routine car care will allow our Clermont auto service techs to ensure that no problems are developing.
Resolution #3: Check your spare tire.
When's the last time you checked your spare tire? It's easy to forget about when it's buried back there under all the stuff in your trunk, but it's critical that you keep an eye on it. You should check it once a month or so to ensure that it's fully inflated to the right PSI and in good physical condition so if you need it, you can put it to use. While you're back there, take a peek at your tire jack and lug wrench, too.
Resolution #4: Learn how to jump start a car.
Knowing how to jump start a car is another great car care resolution. Batteries die and if yours kicks out, do you know how to jump start your ride so you can get it to our Clermont auto service center for a replacement car battery? Just like we can teach you how to change a car tire, we can teach you how to jump start a car. Check out the step-by-step instructions on our website or ask one of our Clermont auto care techs to give you some pointers.
Resolution #5: Detail your car every month.
Keep your car clean ALL YEAR by getting on a car care schedule for detailing. Once a month, you should wash and wax your car as well as clean out and vacuum the interior and clean all the glass. You'll thank us!
