Your vehicle is essential to your daily life; you use it to get to work or school, you use it to run errands, and to take you to social events. Your car is a valuable asset; you would be lost without it, your freedom of movement tethered. That is why Vargas & Vargas wants to help you do everything in your power to protect it. However, you may not be aware that you have a few habits that could be damaging your vehicle.
Here are a few simple ways to protect your car from wear and tear:
Strip Down!
Keep your key chain to the essentials- the weight of a heavy key chain can actually pull on your ignition and cause problems with start up? So, get rid of old keys and heavy decorative additions to your key chain and strip down to contribute to your car’s longevity.
Lose the Junk in Your Trunk!
Avoid the pitfall of throwing things into your trunk and forgetting about them. That extra weight of a full trunk drags on your car wearing it down and costing you more money in gas. At the end of the day, take a look inside the vehicle and in the trunk be sure you aren’t carrying around unnecessary weight.
Stay Hydrated!
We have all done it…waited till you are riding into gas station on fumes. But it’s important to make the effort to stop and fill up BEFORE you see the fuel gauge on “E”! Letting your car run on empty can cause damage to your engine over time.
Handle with Care!
Treat your care with a little T.L.C.-Change gears with care. Hastily slamming your car into park or into reverse without coming to a complete stop is detrimental to your transmission. Be sure to come to a complete stop before shifting gears and your car and its passengers will thank you!
Be Prepared!
Be prepared and ensure that you are properly insured with a Massachusetts Auto Insurance policy. No matter how well you take care of your vehicle, the only thing that will protect you from the unexpected is your Massachusetts car insurance. Protect yourself, your car, and your passengers by consulting your MA Insurance agent to make sure you have adequate coverage.
