Happy New Year! If you want to get on the resolution train, but not sure where you should start? Then you’ve stumbled on to the right blog! This week, your friends here at Destination Nissan want to help you start a resolution to be a better car owner. We know you love your beloved vehicle, but we are all guilty of pushing off maintenance or even keeping our vehicles clean. But since it’s a new year, it’s time to be a new you! See a handful of resolutions you can keep in mind this year and help yourself become a better car owner! 

1. Don’t Neglect Car Maintenance

• If you didn’t keep up with your regular car maintenance in 2019,  your first new year’s resolution should be to call your mechanic! Yes, I know keeping up with car maintenance can be a pain, but when you don’t keep up with it bigger problems can arise. And it isn’t cheap.
• Schedule a service appointment today or stop into Destination Nissan today for your service needs! 

2. Learn To Do Basic Maintenance Yourself

• 2020 is the year of DIY and if you’re tired scheduling maintenance and spending money on service, there is no better time than now to make it a new year’s resolution to learn how to do it yourself!
• Start with something small, like learning to replace your windshield wipers. It usually needs to be done twice a year and is important for road safety. It’s an easy goal for the new year to accomplish quickly.

3. End Distracted Driving

• According to the DMV, on average 9 people are killed by distracted driving every day. Most people think that distracted driving means texting and driving but it actually refers to anything that can take your full attention away from the road. This includes reaching for something, changing the music, using an app, checking your GPS or map, taking a photo, checking email or posting to social media, eating and drinking, and even putting on makeup/grooming
• Make this resolution to drive less distracted to keep you and others on the road safer.
