Our top 3 New Year’s resolutions for your car

Have you ever considered making new year’s resolutions for your car? While it may be a machine with no emotion in a human sense, it still requires tender loving care to stay in top shape.

For 2020, here are our top New Year’s resolutions for your car, aimed at keeping you and your car in perfect harmony:

 

Just like it’s important that you go for regular health check-ups, it’s important to do the same for your car, too. Servicing your car on schedule is the best way to ensure it stays in working condition and minimises any risk of sudden and costly breakdowns.

With consistent and regular fluid changes, you significantly lower the risk of things breaking or seizing up. If you’re not good with remembering when your service is due, consider buying a Service Plan for your car. With a vehicle service plan through MotorHappy, your car is in the safe hands of trusted and approved dealers, who’ll carry out the service. With MotorHappy’s handy reminder system, we’ll help you remember to get your car serviced at the correct interval every time. Best of all, the service plan comes with free roadside assistance included as standard and allows you to pay in monthly instalments, so there’s absolutely no need to worry about the costs often associated with a service!

Tyres are an everyday essential part of your car, and as such, are often forgotten about. But, if you pay close attention to your tyre pressures, it can really pay off.

Preventing your tyres from being underinflated will reduce the effects of rolling resistance and will, therefore, increase your fuel economy and ultimately save you money! Keeping to the pressures the manufacturer recommends will ensure your car remains economical, and your tyres last as long as they possibly can.

This is another resolution that both your car and your wallet will thank you for. Driving as smoothly as possible without erratic uses of the brakes, steering or gas will help minimise the wear and tear components of your car, such as the clutch, brake pads, and your tyres.

Driving smoothly also helps to save petrol, since you won’t be accelerating unnecessarily hard. This simple behavioural change could have a huge positive impact on both your car and your financial budget.

These are just a few of the many fantastic new year’s resolutions you could be making for your car for 2020. Be sure to get creative with your resolutions and let 2020 be the year your car gets treated the way it deserves!
