When it comes to saving money and protecting your vehicle, there are a few New Year's resolutions that your car wants you to follow. From servicing your vehicle as often as needed to using your tax return money to help lower your vehicle debt, there are several ways you can resolve to make your vehicle ownership journey even better.
Service Resolutions
Part of car ownership is taking care of your vehicle after it's been purchased. Routine maintenance, regular upkeep, and spending more on excellent care are great ways to accomplish this goal. Here are a few vehicle service New Year's resolutions we recommend.
- Regular Maintenance – From oil changes and brake repairs to tire services and battery checks, it's imperative to regularly maintain your car, truck, SUV, or van. Not only does routine maintenance keep your car in tip-top shape, but it also shows you any potential issues you'll want to address.
- Routine Upkeep – Your car needs regular upkeep as well. This includes washing and cleaning the exterior of your vehicle, including the undercarriage, cleaning and maintaining the interior cabin, and keeping your car's technology as up-to-date as possible.
- Buying the Best Care – Whether you're purchasing parts or signing up for care services, you'll want to ensure that you're spending more money to keep your car as new as possible. Buy those genuine OEM parts, have our team of expert technicians repair your vehicle, or use the special add-ons at the car wash to get every area of your vehicle clean.
Tax Return Resolutions
If you're like most Americans, you may be seeing some tax return money coming in. If so, why not use this extra cash towards your vehicle lease or loan? Not only could it save you more money in the long run, but it will also allow you to keep your car costs low. Here are a few ways we recommend using your tax return money toward your vehicle.
- As a Down Payment – If you've been considering purchasing a new or used vehicle, now may be a great time to do so. With your down payment, you will lower the overall price and could lower your monthly payments as well. You will also have a better chance of getting the purchasing price you want and may find a lower interest rate attached.
- To Pay Off Some of Your Loan – If you've been looking for ways to lower your monthly bills, paying off your current car loan (or some of it) is a great option. Paying off even a couple of thousands of dollars will help lower your long-term payments and save you money.
- To Buy Necessary (or not so necessary) Accessories – If you've been thinking about how your car could be even better, you may want to use your tax return money toward vehicle accessories. These accessories could range from roof racks and cargo carriers to interior upholstery and tech equipment.
