Should you be thinking about buying a new vehicle or is it better to keep the vehicle that you currently drive? We know the new car look and the new car smell and new features are all exciting, but are necessary?

In America, the average amount of time consumers keeps their cars is about 6 years.

Unfortunately, the new car nostalgia wears off quickly even though a vehicle’s lifetime can extend to a decade or more with routine vehicle maintenance.

Consider Detailing your car equivalent to regular Maintenance

Mentions of the automotive detail process as regular and essential maintenance is essentially nonexistent. Sadly, automotive service providers rarely consider taking care of your vehicle’s interior upholstery and exterior paint job an important service. Since our economy and culture are primarily consumer-driven, we often find the grass is always greener with the new vehicle. Has anyone stopped and considered maintaining the vehicle they currently have? Would it be a financially sound practice to keep your current car longer or is it just the new norm to move on to something the moment of your heart’s inclination?

More often than not, restoring the appearance of your vehicle is a viable alternative to purchasing a new car while keeping you excited and satisfied with your vehicle for a long time. In today’s economy, you can find a very reliable vehicle to keep you on the road greater than 150,000 to 200,000 plus miles without significant issues. Trucks are especially durable vehicles reaching upward of 300,000 miles. Oftentimes, all you need is a makeover of your vehicle’s appearance to fall in love with your vehicle all over again.
