Regular maintenance can extend the life of vehicles, A/C and heating units, and other expensive items. But it’s easy to forget when it’s time for a tune-up. So be sure to add it to your crystal ball calendar so you don’t forget. And, while you’re at it, be sure to set your personal maintenance reminders. You should be going to the doctor at least once a year for an annual physical and going to the dentist twice a year for a cleaning. Under most health and dental plans, these visits are covered 100 percent at no cost to you, so you really have no excuse.
This is true of body parts too.
