Owning a luxury car is a dream for many. However, doing so also means having to take good care of it to preserve your investment.

The following guide will talk you through some of the steps you should be taking to help maintain your luxury car, allowing you to enjoy it to the fullest.

Get it checked regularly

With any car it is a good idea to get it checked regularly, but with a luxury car this is even more important. If you notice an issue with your car and do not get it checked and fixed straight away, this can become very expensive in the long run as luxury car parts tend to be more costly and harder to get hold of. Not only will it be costly, but driving a car with issues can be extremely dangerous.

You should not only get your car checked when there are noticeable faults but should also stick to a strict schedule for regular servicing and MOTs to keep on top of any problems you may not have noticed. This could include getting an aircon regas or adjusting tyre pressure.

Keep it as clean as possible

For your car to look its best, consistent cleaning is essential. Washing off both dust and debris from the outside of the car on a fortnightly basis is a good way to keep it looking fresh. If you plan on doing this yourself, make sure you invest in quality products that will not cause damage. Or, if you would rather get your car cleaned by a professional, look for a provider that specialises in luxury models.

It is not just the exterior of your luxury car that you need to think about, it is easy for car interiors to become unclean, especially if you drive regularly or if you use it as your main family car. Try to clean any rubbish out of your car daily or purchase some small car bins that can be stored in your cup holders to contain anything you intend to get rid of, such as food wrappers or receipts.

Avoid harsh driving

Slamming on the brakes every once in a while is unavoidable for most of us, but generally, you should try to avoid harsh driving where possible to maintain your car’s quality.

From braking harshly to accelerating suddenly, doing these things frequently can cause long-term damage to your car and will drastically reduce its value while making it far less smooth to drive.

Insurance and parking

No matter how cautious a driver you are, accidents cannot be predicted and it is a legal requirement that you insure any car before driving it. Therefore, it is vital that you are covered by a comprehensive insurance policy and protected against a range of outcomes. When insuring your luxury car, make sure to include an accurate valuation to ensure that if you do need to make a claim you are properly covered. Depending on your model, you might need specialist insurance, for example if you drive a supercar or a classic model.

A luxury car is a big investment, so it is key that you keep it safe when it is parked. If possible, avoid on-road parking and opt for a driveway or secure garage instead. You should also make sure you always keep your keys safe. If this is something you worry about, consider putting a personal tracking device on your keyring for peace of mind.
