6 Ways to Make Your Car Feel Like New
Here's 6 Ways to Make Your Car Feel Like New
Nothing beats the feeling of upgrading something significant in your life. Whether it’s a brand-spanking-new phone, a fresh pair of shoes, or a fancy new drink bottle.
However, that new car feeling surpasses the lot.
Not everyone can afford to upgrade their vehicle every 12 months (particularly a premium European car). The good news is, there are a number of simple and cost-efficient things you can do to your car this January to make it feel as good as new.
1. Invest in a new car diffuser
Nothing will make your car feel like it just rolled off the showroom floor quite like that new car smell. Something as simple freshening up the interior with a new scent can really freshen up the overall driving experience.
The car diffuser market is bigger than ever before, which means you can have your car smelling like everything from Cedarwood & Leather to Guava & Lychee Sorbet.
2. Upgrade your stereo system
Every new year ushers in a new wave of automotive tech and you don’t have to replace your whole vehicle to enjoy it.
Another way to make your car feel like new is to upgrade your car’s stereo. If you’ve been eying off the Apple CarPlay & Android Auto media experiences, they’re available in both single-DIN and double-DIN openings.
Want to upgrade your sound? Invest in a new set of speakers that’ll put you in the nosebleed section every time you play your favourite album.
3. Grab a set of new tyres
Just as a pair of fresh kicks can elevate your entire look, a set of new tyres will do the same for your car.
You’re typically due for a new set of tyres every six years or 40,000kms, whatever comes first. If you’re nearing these milestones, now is the perfect time to look into elevating your vehicle’s aesthetic, safety and driving experience with a sleek new set.
Speak to your trusted local automotive team to find out the best tyres for your vehicle.
4. Get a comprehensive clean
It can be tempting to take your car through a quick budget carwash or even to hold out until the next rain, but nothing makes your car sparkle more than a complete professional clean.
You’ll likely be looking at upwards of $100, but when it comes to breathing new life into your beloved vehicle, a deep clean and detail is worth every cent
5. Update your interior
Just like your home décor gets a refresh every few years, so can your car’s interior. And it can be as minor or a major as you like.
You could completely update the upholstery and give your cabin a brand new feel, or you could opt for some new accessories, like a steering wheel cover, seat covers or floor mats.
It’s often the smaller details that can together have the biggest difference.
6. Get your vehicle serviced
Most of the above steps will have your car looking as good as new, however it’s a service that will have your vehicle feeling like a new car.
To ensure your car is in mint condition, a high-quality service should at the very least, cover all of the following:
- Interval/logbook servicing
- Intermediate servicing
- Automatic transmission servicing
- Brake fluid flushes
- Preventative diesel intake cleanings
- Coolant flushes
- Power steering flushes
