Happy New Year! It’s a new year and that means it’s time for a new you, or at least it’s time to make some helpful changes. But if you’re not into hitting the gym or counting calories, we have some resolutions that you can get behind without breaking a sweat. In fact, these resolutions aren’t even for you, they’re for your Mercedes-Benz! So take a peek below and see how you can be a better car owner in 2020! Oh, and if you think it’s time to slip behind the wheel of a new Mercedes-Benz, be sure to browse our new inventory NOW!
- Don’t Neglect Car Maintenance
- If you didn’t keep up with your regular car maintenance in 2019, your first new year’s resolution should be to call your mechanic! Yes, I know keeping up with car maintenance can be a pain, but when you don’t keep up with it bigger problems can arise. And it isn’t cheap.
- Schedule a service appointment today or stop in to Mercedes-Benz of Danbury today for your service needs!
- Learn To Do Basic Maintenance Yourself
- 2020 is the year of DIY and if you’re tired scheduling maintenance and spending money on service, there is no better time than now to make it a new year’s resolution to learn how to do it yourself!
- Start with something small, like learning to replace your windshield wipers. It usually needs to be done twice a year and is important for road safety. It’s an easy goal for the new year to accomplish quickly.
- End Distracted Driving
- According to the DMV, on average 9 people are killed by distracted driving every day. Most people think that distracted driving means texting and driving but it actually refers to anything that can take your full attention away from the road. This includes reaching for something, changing the music, using an app, checking your GPS or map, taking a photo, checking email or posting to social media, eating and drinking, and even putting on makeup/grooming
- Make this resolution to drive less distracted to keep you and others on the road safer.
- Keep Your Car Clean
- For some of you keeping your car clean comes naturally, but for the rest of us, it is a daily challenge. If your car is a mess going into the new year learn how to declutter your car and prevent future clutter.
- First, remove everything from your car that you do not need.
- Second, organize those important papers in your car and rid of the papers you don’t need. Throw out old receipts, coupons, and other miscellaneous papers. Then find the important documents like your registration, insurance, and owner’s manual and put them in a safe spot.
- Third, give your car a deep clean after you’ve decluttered it. Vacuum the seats and floor, wipe down windows, and take it through a car wash.

Get The Right Tunes
- Road trip rule #1, don’t rely on the radio
- The radio goes in and out in different spots and the same songs will get old quickly
- Prepare ahead of time and make a playlist has a little of everyone’s favorites to keep the ride entertaining
- Go ahead, feel free to throw in some holiday tunes to get everyone in the holiday spirits
Keep The Kids Entertained With Kits For The Kids
- Few things are better than surprises when you’re a kid. So stash some road trip kits to break out when they’re getting restless
- Include little goodie bags filled with stickers, coloring books, crayons, or anything you think could keep your little one entertained
Stock Up On The Essentials
- Depending on how long your ride is, be sure to pack snacks, water, medicine, and plastic bags for trash
- Other crucial items? A full tank of gas, a phone charger, a first aid kit, and a few blankets.
Make Sure Your Ride Is Road Trip Ready
- It’s important that you service your vehicle if it has not yet been
- Driving in the winter months means you could find yourself running into a mix of weather conditions. Making sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape is crucial to your vehicle’s performance and your safety
It’s All About The Journey
- The holidays are a time to spend with the family but with November and December being so busy you might find that you’re spending less time with them. Instead of bee-lining to your destination, enjoy the journey and maybe stop at some attractions along the way. Create those memories!
Let The Kiddos Have Some Screen Time
- No parent is comfortable letting their kids stare into a screen for hours at a time, but it might be a good idea to let up on the screen time restriction to help keep your ride a little more peaceful. It’s always a good idea to have them play learning games or watch an educational show!
Have An Arsenal Of Games Ready To Go
- No road trip is complete without family car games, so be sure to jot down a list of age-appropriate games before you get going.
- It’s a good idea to spread them out so that you don’t run out of games too quickly
- We suggest playing one at the beginning to get them excited for the trip, then once they start getting antsy, and then periodically
- Having small prizes for the winner is always a fun way to get them into a game
Make Sure Your Ride Is Nice And Tidy Before Leaving
- It’s important that your vehicle is tidy and organized when hitting the road. You want to know where everything is and be able to access it easily as needed
Prepare For Toll Booths
- If you don’t have an EZ-Pass, be sure to have your money prepared for tolls
- You don’t want to be that person fumbling around at the booth, plus it helps on time to hand over the cash and go
Make Plans, But Don’t Worry About Sticking To Them
- It’s no secret that you’re going to need to stop for bathroom breaks, food, stretch, etc.
- If you’re planning your trip down to the minute you’ll find yourself stressing for no reason. Stay flexible and don’t stress if you fall behind on time a little bit
An exceptional driving experience is nothing new when you slip behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, but to ensure that you don’t miss a beat even when the weather conditions are less than ideal, it is important to make sure that your vehicle’s tires are in tip-top shape. The condition of your tires is crucial to your vehicle’s performance and you and your passenger’s safety. Your tires have the job of providing grip on the road so that you don’t slip and slide right off. A lot of factors play into the condition of your tires, which include age, tread depth, tire pressure, and any previous damage. Below you can see how to check your tires for all of the above conditions. If you find that it’s time to replace your tires be sure to schedule a service appointment and allow our team of certified professionals to match you with the right tires for your vehicle and have them replaced in no time! Be sure to check out our service specials to see if you can save big on any fall service your vehicle needs!
Checking Your Tire’s Condition & Age:
- Look at the tread and sidewalls for any cuts, scrapes, punctures, bulges, bumps or cracks. If you see anything suspicious, have a tire service professional take a closer look.
- You also want to keep an eye on your tire’s age. Depending on how much you drive, your tire’s tread may last for years but just because the tread is not worn out does not mean that your tires don’t need to be replaced
- To determine your tire’s age just look at the DOT stamping on the sidewall
- At the end of the DOT stamp, there is a four-digit code that will tell you when the tire was manufactured.
- Example: A code that looks like 4719 means the tire was manufactured in the 47th week of 2019.
Checking Your Tire Depth:
- Evaluate the tread depth of your tires to make sure you have enough traction to grip the road
- An easy way to check you tire depth is with the Penny Test
- Just place a penny upside down in your tread. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it may be time for new tires.
Checking Your Tire Pressure:
- Use a tire pressure gauge to make sure your tires are properly inflated and then fill your tires with air as needed
- Your owners manual will have the proper PSI for your tires
- To check your pressure, remove the valve stem cap, press the gauge head evenly onto the valve stem, use firm pressure so that the hissing sound stops
- Remove the gauge and read the pressure adjust as needed
