Learn to do basic maintenance yourself
If you are tired of having to make an appointment to see your trusted local mechanic and having to spend so much of your hard-earned paychecks on auto maintenance, why not make a car new year’s resolution to learn how to do it yourself. Start with something small, like learning how to change your own oil or how to change a flat tire. This resolution not only saves you money, but helps you better yourself by learning something new!
Be a courteous driver
We all know how frustrating driving can be, especially when you factor in traffic jams, highway construction, and novice drivers. This car new year’s resolution is about being a more courteous driver. By being more patient with your fellow drivers, you can avoid road rage and potential accidents that happen when you are not paying attention to the road because you are focusing on what other people are doing around you.
Keep your car clean
No one likes driving a messy car. In 2017, resolve to keep your vehicle neat and tidy, both inside and out. This will also help with maintaining your paint job and the interior if you frequent the car wash and throw away any trash that piles up in your car daily.
