With a new year comes an opportunity to not only change how you take care of yourself but how you take care of your car. While you may have other plans to better your lifestyle, make sure you don't forget that your car could use some extra love and care as well. Here are some New Year's resolution ideas for every vehicle owner: Create an emergency fund. Sometimes, cars don't give you a prewarning before they break down (or at least not quick enough).

A fresh and clean car not only protects the value of your vehicle, but it can make your driving experience a lot more pleasant! Get regular fluid changes. Aside from having a su ... read more
