Car-care Tips

Wash your car

One of the simplest ways to extend the life and value of your vehicle is to keep it clean. Washing the salt off the underside in the winter is especially helpful. Don’t forget to wash around the fenders and near the doors. Salt & grime will build up and eat away at these more sensitive areas very quickly.

Keep the inside clean

It’s amazing how much better you feel about driving your vehicle when the inside is clean. Consider buying a garbage bag specifically made for vehicles so that items don’t accumulate on the floor. Keep some interior wipes on hand in your glove box and when you are sitting and waiting for someone you can touch up the interior. Also consider getting your vehicle professionally detailed once a year and possibly an undercoating service could be in order depending on the age and condition of your vehicle.

Fill the top half of your tank

The fuel in your tank not only supplies fuel to your engine but it also helps cool your fuel pump and extend the life of it. By constantly running your tank low you are not allowing that cooling process and could shorten the life of your fuel pump.
