CAR CARE MEANS COVERAGE CARE

3Everyone knows that taking good care of your car is good idea. A well-maintained vehicle is safer, more dependable, and more valuable. However, did you know that careful maintenance can also save you money on Auto insurance?

For example, experts recommend replacing your wiper blades every 6,000 miles or six months. If your wipers leave streaks and smears, you're ready for a replacement set. But also consider how unsafe it is to drive your car without clear vision. Every year motorists have accidents because they fail to see oncoming traffic or a car that stops in front of them.

While you're thinking about a clear windshield, what about that nonfunctioning defroster you've been meaning to fix.

Don't forget about seat belts. Thousands of vehicle occupants every year suffer injuries because they don't wear their belts. Are all of your belts functioning properly -- even those in the back seat? Not only are unbelted rear seat passengers highly susceptible to injury, but 80% of fatalities among front-seat passengers wearing seat belts resulted from collisions with unbelted back seat passengers, according to a University of Tokyo study.

Taking preventative maintenance measures such as these, together with safe driving habits, will help curb highway accidents, reducing injuries and saving lives --not to mention lowering the number (and cost) of Auto coverage claims. That's why insurance companies offer premium credits to drivers who take care of their vehicles. For more information on saving money by keeping your car safe, just give us a call.
