Regular Car Service: A New Year's Resolution!
While you value your car, you can't place a value on the dollars or time you lose visiting the repair shop. While it is totally understandable to have a bit of dread around the topic of car repair, it is an important matter to get under control. With the New Year upon us, the time is ripe for making a New Year's Resolution around the topic of regular car service appointments.
Working on diet and other lifestyle matters is definitely important and should not be sidelined, but neither should you! If you don't plan your regular car service appointments, you'll potentially be sidelined in the worst way -- on the side of the road!
Anyone can tell you that car repair troubles typically arise from improper maintenance over a period of time. Now is the chance for you to make a resolution to take great care of your vehicle properly and responsibly in the new year. A great start is to consider the number of miles you drove last year and predict what sort of changes could affect the amount of driving you'll be doing in this upcoming year.
Once you have figured out just how many miles you plan to cover in your vehicle, take a look at the current odometer and consider what type of services your vehicle will need as it goes from the mileage it currently has to the mileage it will have at the same time in the following year. This simple, back-of-the-napkin math will give you a starting-off point for figuring out how much maintenance is needed on your vehicle and how much money to budget for that maintenance.
This advance consideration and foresight is what New Year's Resolutions are all about. By getting your car into the shop on a regular basis for simply automotive maintenance, you'll be on the road when it matters most!
