New Year’s Resolutions for Alfa Romeo Service

Happy new year from the team of dealers, Alfa Romeo service mechanics, and finance professionals here at Alfa Romeo FIAT of Santa Monica! The onset of the new year is the perfect time to set goals for yourself, and you may have already made new year’s resolutions for your personal life, but why stop there? Your Alfa Romeo car is likely one of your prized possessions and something that helps you gets everywhere you need to be, so consider these resolutions to help you become a better car owner.

Take Care of the Small Issues

While ignoring minor issues or warning lights that are illuminated on your dashboard may be tempting, doing so can lead to more significant problems down the road. We recommend scheduling service with our Alfa Romeo service center at the first sign of trouble.

Keep Your Car Clean

Work and life can get in the way of regularly getting car washes. However, neglecting car washes isn’t something that we recommend, as keeping your car clean has many benefits. For instance, your paint job will last longer, and you’ll be more likely to prevent costly rust damage.

Avoid Looking at Your Cellphone While Driving

With hands-free technologies such as Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ available on new Alfa Romeo models, there’s no reason to look down at your cellphone while driving. Texting and looking down at your phone can cause you to become distracted, leading to safety issues.

Only Buy OEM Parts

While it can be tempting to buy cheap aftermarket parts, OEM Alfa Romeo parts are better for your car in the long run. The advantages of OEM parts include the following:

• Longer lasting
• Higher quality
• Guaranteed fit and performance
• A warranty against defects
