Here’s How to Care for Your Vehicles

A little car maintenance can keep your vehicles looking great and running smoothly. It can also help keep you and your family safe. Be sure to stay up to date on oil changes and check your other fluids seasonally, including your coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Wiper blades should also be checked for wear, and top up your windshield washer fluid before the cold weather hits. A tire pressure gauge will help avoid blowouts, while a tire inflatorand tire plug kit can get you moving again in case of an accident. Spare car fuses are essential, and extra headlight and taillight bulbs will help you avoid accidents or getting pulled over. Jumper cables and a car emergency kit are must-haves for safety, especially in winter. A car battery charger and tow strap are also useful for times when a boost isn’t available.

A regular car wash throughout the summer will help your vehicle retain its appearance. Be sure to apply a good car wax and car polish to protect the paint and finish. For the inside, take care to match the various car interior cleaners to the material of your vehicle’s dash, seats, and other upholstery.
