There’s nothing quite like getting a new car. It’s a big investment, too, which is why you’re going to want to make sure you’re doing all that you can to take the best care possible of your new car. Clark’s Professional Car Care can help you to do just that.
Get Familiar with Your New Owner’s Manual
The last thing you probably want to do now that you’ve got your new car is to sit down for a deep dive into the owner’s manual. But as much fun as it sounds, it’s actually an important thing to do. There may be a few features you need to understand and things you need to find, like how to turn on the windshield wipers. But there are also other things you need to know.
Bookmark Recommended Service Schedules
The biggest list you’re looking for in the owner’s manual is the list of recommended services. These are usually listed along with recommendations about when to have those services handled. You’re going to want to bookmark that page so that you can reference it easily. The best part of having a reliable mechanic that you trust is that they’ll help you to stay on target with those services.
Pay Close Attention to What You Can Track Yourself
Lots of the services and maintenance your car needs are going to be ones that you want to leave to the professionals. But there are quite a few smaller tasks that you’re going to want to keep up with yourself. These are items like:
- Checking the oil
- Checking other fluids
- Checking tire pressure
- Looking at your battery
- Checking for leaks under the car
What you’re really doing is just making sure that there’s nothing urgent happening that requires you to take the car to the shop.
Handle Multiple Services at Once
You’ve heard that multitasking is bad, right? Well, when it comes to car care, multitasking is a great idea. When you combine multiple services, like getting your oil changed and having your tires rotated at the same time, you’re saving yourself a ton of time and you’re making sure that those small routine tasks are all done, which can extend the life of your new car and of consumables, like your car’s tires.
