Car Maintenance Checklist

Making sure your car is road-ready can mean the difference between a few minor costs and major repairs. It can also help you (or your new driver) avoid an accident. Use this checklist to make sure your car is in the best shape possible.

  • Check the oil level
  • Ensure lights and turn signals are working properly
  • Check your brakes and schedule service if they’re not in great shape
  • Inspect your tires
  • Check the wiper blades for wear and top of washer fluid
  • Test the battery
  • Top off fluids
  • Check the jack and spare tire
  • Schedule maintenance if needed

Proper Documentation

If the general busyness of life isn’t enough to make you forget essential tasks, the complete chaos of a pandemic could certainly set things off balance. If you forgot to renew your license in 2020 or the spring of 2021, you probably aren’t alone. Since many offices have been forced to depend on virtual services, your registration and insurance documents might also need a refresh. After making sure your driver’s license and registration are up to date, it’s time to take a look at your auto insurance policies.

If you skipped your annual insurance review or your lifestyle has changed, your auto insurance policy probably needs an update to reflect these changes. There are many reasons your insurance needs can change. For instance, if you have a teen who just got a learner’s permit, you can add a new driver to the policy right away. Similarly, if your teen recently upgraded to fully licensed status, you should also talk to your insurance provider. Other reasons your car insurance needs can change include moving to a new home or starting a different job. These changes usually mean a change in your travel habits, which can affect your insurance.
