The New Year Means New Resolutions for Car Owners

“To improve is to change; To be perfect is to change often.” – Winston Churchill

As we ring in the New Year, many individuals make personal resolutions for themselves – to exercise, to eat healthier – however, have you considered resolutions when it comes to caring for your car?

Winston Churchill’s quote is fitting for any scenario and individual, even when it comes to the importance of your automobile.

“To improve is to change,” can relate to the importance of taking steps toward improving the functionality of your vehicle or perhaps to upgrade to a new car or truck. “To be perfect is to change often,” which in car terms can mean in order to keep your car running smoothly, you must take care of regularly, not when issues arise.

In order to keep your car on the road this year, JT’s Chrysler Jeep Dodge has put together a few New Year’s resolutions just for car owners!

• Schedule routine car check-ups. It’s important to schedule routine maintenance on your car, truck or SUV at least a couple of times a year. Routine maintenance can help prevent any major issues when it comes to your vehicle. Schedule your next car check-up at JT’s Chrysler Jeep Dodge or your local dealership.

• Resolve to maintain a clean vehicle. This year, put forth extra effort to maintaining a clean car, both the interior and exterior. Be sure to occasionally wash the outside of your car at a local car wash or at home if you prefer DIY. When it comes to the interior of your car, truck or SUV, regularly vacuum your floor mats and discard any trash to help keep maintain the look of your vehicle.

• Accessorize. If you have always wanted to accessorize your vehicle, set a goal to do it this year! From new floor mats, to spare tire covers, accessories and more, customizing your car, truck or SUV can be a great way to add personality to your vehicle.

In the Lexington and Columbia, SC warmer climate allows these experiences to take place throughout the year. Make time for you and your car, truck or SUV and enjoy an occasional leisure ride.
