Preparing our Vehicle For 2023 & Beyond
As we say goodbye to 2022 and reflect on everything it brought, let’s consider how best to welcome a new year. It’s time to start thinking about what the future holds. And, while we can’t predict the future, there are some things we can do to prepare for it. Just like you want to ensure you have a clean business or home, now’s the time to do some near year cleaning, inside and out!
One of those things is preparing our vehicles for the upcoming year. Here are some tips on how to do just that.
10 Steps To Help You Prepare Your Vehicle For The New Year
Check your vehicle’s fluids and fill them as needed. This includes engine oil, windshield washer fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and coolant.
Inspect your vehicle’s tires and replace them if necessary. Check the air pressure in your tires and fill them up as needed.
Inspect your vehicle’s brakes and replace them if necessary.
Take your vehicle in for an annual tune-up. This is a good time to have your mechanic check for any potential problems that may need fixing.
Get your vehicle’s emissions tested (if applicable).
Wash and wax your vehicle regularly to protect the paint job.
Keep your vehicle’s interior clean and free of debris. This includes removing trash and vacuuming regularly.
Organize your vehicle’s emergency kit and restock it as needed. Your emergency kit should include a first-aid kit, jumper cables, a flashlight with extra batteries, a blanket, snacks, water, flares or reflective triangles, and a basic toolkit including a screwdriver, pliers, and a wrench set.
Purchase roadside assistance if you don’t already have it.
Make sure you have all the documents you need in order: registration, proof of insurance, etc.”
