Spring clean your car & keep car insurance premiums down

March 26th, 2009

Do you look after your car? Now is a good time to take advantage of the nicer weather and do a bit of a spring clean on your car.

The Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF) has advised vehicle owners to ‘give their cars a good clean and check to see if any further work needs to be done’.

RMIF director Sue Robinson commented: “Motorists may not have thought to check this during the winter months and they may be driving with illegal tyres without realising.”

According to an article, vehicle owners who ensure their tyres pressure and tread depth are always at the correct levels may reduce their chances of being in an accident, thereby protecting their cheap car insurance premiums.

Online car insurance company swiftcover.com report that drivers could be wiping millions of pounds off the re-sale value of their cars by not keeping them in good condition.

As well as watching your mileage and keeping your car in good working order, car insurance online company swiftcover.com also recommend the following:

  • Clean your car - stop dirt and grim from turning into irreparable stains

  • Change parts - change parts when necessary keeping your car at its best
  • Find a good garage - don’t leave minor problems to get worse, sort them out with a reputable garage
